Workshop Goodies

Monday night a group of ladies gathered and madly stamped for over three hours. Some of them were brand new to stamping and some of them were old hands at it. (I'm not sure they would be appreciative of me calling them that) but we all had a good time. And produced 3 cards. One I have already shown you which is here. This is the next one I want to show you. We started with this card because of it's simplicity. It is probably self explanatory but when you start describing how to make a project it always seems like it takes more words then ever.Here is the directions:

• The base of the card is a standard A2 card of perfect plum. 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 folded
• Then use the scallop square punch and punch 3 out of certainly celery
• On a piece of whisper white card stock, stamp, in certainly celery, one each of the 3 flowers from pocket silhouettes and punch each out with the 1 1/4" square punch.
  
• Then on another piece of whisper white 5 x 2 3/4 stamp the leaves at the bottom and without re-inking stamp it again to the right. Ink again and stamp off on a scrap piece of paper then to the left of the original one.
  
• Stamp the sentiment from Sincere Salutations at the top in Perfect Plum and put the card together referring to the picture.

Upsy Daisy Circle

Today I am so excited to share with you a card that looks like I used Nestabilities to make but I didn't. I do not have the circle scissors or Nestabilities. So I got my Colluzle out, you remember that don't you, and cut a circle. Then look what I did.

• The first thing was to cut a circle out big enough to stamp the Upsy Daisy flowers inside. Then I inked and stamped them in Lovely Lilac and sponged around the edges.
• I punched out 2 - 1 1/4" circles in garden green making sure to leave enough area around the outside for another punch.
  
• Then I centered the hole in the scallop circle punch and punched out 2 scallop circles.Then cut between two of the scallops on each one.
• I carefully opened them up and spread them apart and worked with them until they fit around that circle. I adhered them to the outside of the circle. Then attached that to the card with stamping dimensionals.
  
• I assembled the rest of the card using a strip of lovely lilac cs stock and garden green cs which I had taken the scallop edge punch too.
• I stamped the sentiment

It took just a few minutes to put this together. Well worth the $$ I saved by not buying the nestabilities. What do you think?

Simple Silhouettes

Here is a quick and easy card to make that looks great, is good for a man or woman and by simply changing the sentiment you can make it into a card for any occasion. As it is it could be a thank you card or a thinking of you or to accompany a gift would also work. This card was inspired by here and here both at splitcoaststampers.
