February Club Projects

I am definitely a little late posting this, but I had to jet out of town the day after club and had a very very busy week in Tampa! I am sitting at the airport right now ready to head home and figured I better get crackin'! Things can always get a little crazy for a few days at home after returning from a long trip!

We had a lot of fun this month and made this very beautiful easel card using the Vintage Vogue stamp set from the Occasions mini:

We used the baby wipe technique on the "F" as well as some distressing techniques to add to the vintage look.

Supplies used: Vintage Vogue & En Francais stamp sets; Ink: Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede; Scallop Trim Border punch

My idea for our second project came from my upline, Alecia Connelly. We did this super cute (and easy) project at our demo meeting!

This project was just tooooooooooo easy! We took a piece of Glorious Green CS cut with the Scalloped Square Big Shot die and scored it as such:

After folding your score lines, the little bugger practically folds itself! Add some punched holes, at each corner, a little ribbon, a stamped tag, and some kisses and you're done! :o)

Supplies used: Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set; Glorious Green Card Stock & Ink; Modern Label Punch; Big Shot/Scalloped Square die
