Epic Lacy & Lovely

Hi Stampers!

I saw this great card made with an interesting fold on Dawn Griffith's blog and just had to make one:

Dawn made a Halloween card, but I followed her instructions using Epic Day DSP and the Lacy & Lovely stamp set to make an everyday card instead. 

 

I love the way this card showcases both sides of the gorgeous DSP!  Choosing the card stock and ink colours was a no brainer since I just used colours that are in the DSP, which are listed on the back of the package as well as in the catalogue.

 

I also love that I had this card made in less than ten minutes using scraps of card stock and designer paper, and it's beautiful on the inside too!  I was going to stamp either the Miss you or Thank you image from Lacy & Lovely on the inside, but  I haven't decided who I'm giving this too yet, so I guess I'll wait and add that when I know what I'm using this card for.  Do you have some scraps and ten minutes?

 

Go stamp something!

Stamp Club Class

Tonight's class was all about the Envelope Punch Board!  All the ladies loved using the punch board, it's simple and quick and the results are great every time!  We warmed up by making envelopes for this card:

The card is on a Pumpkin Pie base, the stripes on the white layer are made using the masking tape technique in Crumb Cake and Soft Suede. The leaves are die cut with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die and the Big Shot, then stamped with the Wonderfall stamp set in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso and Soft Suede. The thank u is cut with the Expressions Thinlits in Red Glimmer Paper (cut down from the word Thankful). 

Our next project used the Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder card:

 

We glued the hexagon pattern of Epic Day Designer Series Paper onto the card front and the lined paper pattern to the edge of the inside, then we used the punch on the punch board to get the curved shape for the file folder tabs (like in the video from this post). To finish the card we stamped you make me happy from Hello Lovely in Calypso Coral and mounted it on the front, and we stamped XOXO from Oh, Goodie!, also in Calypso Coral on the tab. Cute!!  Stamping with friends is so much fun, do you have someone to stamp with?  You are always welcome to come and join us!

Go stamp something!
