April's Club Project

As close as it is to Mother's day and Father's day, I decided we'd make cards.  Be Prepared!! Right!

We used the new Jackson Paper and "The Best Dad Ever" (A1173) for the Father's day card.  We cut up two extra hats, mustaches, and bow ties so we could layer them to pop out of the page.

                                                               

I thought about making the card below, but it didn't sit well with me.  It needs something else, but I just couldn't put my finger on what the something was, so I canned the idea and moved on.

 
             original (Not used)

We made this one instead using the Brushed paper pack and "Flowers for Mom" (B1473).  You can't see the bitty gems from this photo, but there are some on here.  I LOVE our new markers.



                      Used instead

The Canary cardstock seemed to make the card more friendly and warm.

I used 5 different stamp sets. Some Bunny (B1446), A Flowering Bunch (S1306), My Peeps (B1402), Sensational Season (D1454) and Eastertime (D1259).  The paper is from the Brush paperpack,

March's Club Project

This month we will be using the Brush Paper Pack (X7190B) along with Your Own Kind of Wonderful (D1627) and the Stamp of the Month Choose Happy (S1503).  I showcased my Little Man when he was 3 years old learning to golf.  He had a killer swing. My idea was to show that this paper wasn't just for little girls!

Club members will need:
Scissors
Adhesive
Glue Dots
Puff up tape

February's Club Project

February 6th is the next club and we are going to be making 2 birthday cards. One is done with the February Stamp of the Month. The other is one of Close to my Hearts per-cut cards.

 

You'll need to bring:

Piercing tool

Adhesive

Puff-up tape

January's Club Project

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I thought it would be a perfect time to make something with our new Heartstrings paper pack (X7193B). The stamp set I used comes with the Heartstrings card workshop on the Go. and I only used a few of the many stamps on the set.  The "LOVE" was cut using the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.  So many options on that cartridge, I just love it!!!! The Arrows on the top are cut out of the trim strip from the B&T paper.
