January 2014 club and workshop projects

Hi Stampers
I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I should post what we made for January 2014 at my clubs and workshops.  We made two cards and a kisses holder for Valentine's Day.

The first is the kisses holder.  It holds 4 Hershey's Kisses Candies.
Here is the front view.  It is approx. 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" on the front side.

 

Here is the back view.

 

 

And finally here is the side view, showing the Hershey's Kisses Candies.

 

I used the January Stamp of the Month:  S1401 Cross-Stitch Wishes stamp set.  I also used the D1560 Holiday Tags stamp set for the frame and sentiment on the back.  The paper is the cute Chantilly Paper pack X7163B.

 

The base is: 

White Daisy Cardstock 3 ½” x 6”

score along long edge at 3 ½”, 4 ½”, and 5 5/8”

 

Use a little Tombow Adhesive to keep the kisses in place.

 

Then we made this Adorable Airplane card.  It is a standard A2 card at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" with the fold across the top.

 

Here is the inside sentiment.

I used the C1570 Lifting Spirits stamp set.  For the inside sentiment I used the D1560 Holiday Tags set again.  It is an easy card to make using mostly white daisy cardstock, a little lagoon for the mat and the three washi tapes.  Z1933 Ruby Chevron, Z1850 Lagoon Houndstooth, and Z1817 Slate Polka-dot.

 

The last card we made was this Love You card.  It is 4" x 4" square card with the fold on top.



 

This card base is the Colonial White cardstock and we used the pretty X7170B Laughing Lola Paper Pack.  The stamp set is from the January Special "Cloud Nine" kit.  I also used the Z1920 1" wide gold polka-dot washi tape, Z1918 Teal Shimmer Trim, and Z1928 Triangle Studs.  They came in the Cloud Nine Kit, but you can also order them from the new Spring/Summer Idea Book starting in February.

 

Have a "Lovely" Day! 

CAS - Cozy Cat Card

Hi Stampers
This morning on the Heart 2 Heart Blog are looking for CAS cards.  That stands for Clean and Simple design cards.  Usually there will be a large area of white or solid cardbase showing in these cards.  I have the perfect card to share with you.  It is one that we made at some of my classes this month as a "Bonus" card, if we had time to complete it.
Here is my card:

 

 I used the adorable Cozy Cat stamp set (A1140 $6.95) she is so cute I couldn't resist.  I used the "fussy cutting" technique to cut out the cat from buttercup cardstock and the pillow from Chatilly paper and the muzzle from white cardstock.  The sentiment stamp if from Just a Number stamp set (D1514 $17.95) Age is just a number... yours will remain Unlisted.  Happy Birthday!  Here is a close up of the cat.

February Workshop Cards

Hi Stampers
Here are the two cards that we will be completing this month at my clubs and workshops.
The first card is a "Center Step Card" decorated for Easter.

 

I used the new stamp "Easter Wishes" from the new Spring/Summer idea book for the adorable chicks.  The paper we are using this month is Chantilly also from the new idea book.  I used the Cricut Artiste cartridge to cut the fancy square and the pink tag.  Just my luck Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week is Tag Your It.  So I will be adding this card to that blog.  Go check out other cute tag ideas HERE.  I found the center step directions by on google.  There are a lot of templates out there for this type of card.  The one I used is http://www.th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.com  

 

The second card we will be making is this "Chalkboard" style card using the February Stamp of the Month Home Sweet Home.

 

Once again we are using the Chantilly paper pack.  To make this I used the bar image from Family Love stamp set then the words are from the February stamp of the month and the bar image again on the bottom of the card.  I used Versamark Clear ink and White Embossing powder.  Heat set it with my heat gun and then added some color around the lettering with watercolor pencils.  Finally I added some smearing with the white daisy pigment ink pad and a sponge.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the clubs and workshops this month!
