Another card from our June Stamp Club
Masculine Projects
The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″. The top Very Vanilla card stock layer measures 4″ x 5-1/4″. You can cut the paper for this card in less than a minute! The stamping is almost as quick. I love quick and easy! I think it is a perfect Masculine Birthday Card, but I would not mind finding this in my mailbox!
I CASED this card from Melissa Stout.

April Paper Pumpkin: A Sara Thing
The kit you’ve all been waiting for is finally HERE! And, we think A Sara Thing was worth the wait. Here are a few fun things about the kit.
- You’ve probably already noticed that it includes 12 cards (4 ea. of 3 designs) which is four more than our standard eight cards for a cards-only kit.
- There’s a sneak peek at a new color! Lemon Lime Twist is one of our 2017–2019 In Colors, debuting in our upcoming annual catalog on June 1.
- How much do you love the FREE gift from Sara? There are four mini Watercolor Pencils in Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Rich Razzleberry.
- The words “you” and “best” in the stamp set are Sara’s own handwriting! The set was designed so that you can customize a message for several important people in your life.
- One of Sara’s favorite things about this kit is the stamp set featuring handwritten words paired with clean, simple type.
- The glitter acrylic flowers look amazing on both sides so you can choose which style you like best.
- Sara is drawn to projects with a neutral base and bold pops of color and wanted the palette for this kit to be VERY vibrant and full of life.
- The kit is meant to draw out your own inner artist and have an experience that is uniquely YOU. Don’t be intimidated by watercoloring—just color with the pencils and add water. No two cards will look alike and that’s okay!
First, we always like to show you a project you can make with the supplies included in your kit. Check out this adorable card featuring a watercolor and washi tape background, a simple sentiment, and an adorable glitter acrylic flower embellishment.
Next up, here’s another fun way to use the stamp set. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are right around the corner and this stamp set will help you create the best cards to make both days super special. Use the Best Badge Punch to create a medallion for the best dad. The Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder provides added meaning in the background.
Here’s a beautiful card that Mom will love! The background paper comes from our Hello Lovely Project Life Card Collection. Add one of the Delicate White Doilies to soften it up even more.
There are so many wonderful things to love about this kit! It is definitely one of our favorites and we hope you love it too. Order some refills, while supplies last, for $9.00 US/$11.00 CA each. (The price is $1.00 more than our usual price for refills because each kit includes another set of mini Watercolor Pencils and all 12 cards—an amazing value!)

When we attend these Stampin Up Events we SWAP CARDS! I participated in one organized swap and then I made two cards for general swapping. For the organized swap I made 15 cards and received 15 cards in return.
Here is my card:
And here are the cards I received:
For regular swapping you only make card fronts, not complete cards like above, here are my two card fronts I made for swapping:
This card I show cased the fun technique of shaving cream…it looks like marble.
This is watercolor wash…thanks Karyn for letting me borrow your set, I ordered my own this week!
Here are the cards I that I traded for:
There are some seriously talented stampers…with the card fronts, I often convert them to full cards and use them to send to you guys and family. WHO knows..maybe you will get one….Do you have a favorite or two or three?
My retired sets…

MARCH STAMP CLUB
Super easy and fun card that Melody found on Pinterest and we adapted for our club. The credit goes to a demo named Mary Fish.

Fold your Tip Top Taupe card base in half. I use the scoring tool on my cutter to make the perfect crease. Adhere your larger piece of Basic Black cardstock to your Tip Top Taupe base, and adhere your cut Go Wild piece to your Basic Black piece.
Stamp your Happy Birthday Greeting on your Whisper White Cardstock. Run your Bakers twine thru your button and tie in a bow or knot. Adhere that to your whisper white cardstock with a glue dot or two. Adhere your greetings on your WW cardstock to your smaller Basic Black cardstock. POP up your creation and center it to your card base. Super Easy and Super Easy to recreate with any greetings!

Stamp Supplies:
Stamps: For Your Country 134222
Ink: Mossy Meadow 133645, Tip Top Taupe 138325, Early Espresso 126974
Paper: Tip Top Taupe 138336, Mossy Meadow 133676, Very Vanilla 101650
Other: Early Espresso ¼ Cotton Ribbon 134560, Banner Framelit Dies 132173
This is super easy card & you get to create your very own DSP background! Your card base is Tip Top Taupe and it is cut 8 ½ x 5 ½ and you fold it in half. You will need a Mossy Meadow cut to 4 x 5 ¼ and you can adhere it to your card base. Next you will need a Very Vanilla cut 3 ¾ x 5, this will be the piece that you create your dsp paper. I used the boots, dog tags and helmet. I used Mossy Meadow for the Helmet, boots are in Tip Top Taupe and the dog tags are in Early Espresso! (at least that is how I think I did it) You can mix it up. You want to start with your lightest color the Tip Top Taupe and stamp randomly all over your cardstock, then move to the Early Espresso and randomly stamp over what you have just stamped, as much or as little as you like, and lastly your Mossy Meadow and repeat the random stamping! You will be using the 4th and 5th banners from the Banner Framelit Dies, by this I mean the 4th and 5th largest. You will use the number 4 one to cut out a scrap of Very Vanilla and the number 5 one to cut a scrap of Mossy Meadow. You will careful stamp the Godspeed greeting at the very top of your Vanilla Banner and squeeze your soldier just underneath it. Both of the do fit but it can be a tight squeeze! Now cut a small piece of ribbon and wrap it around the DSP paper you created. Adhere that to your created dsp and adhere that to your Mossy Meadow cardstock. Now adhere your banners together and then using a few dimensionals adhere that to the top of your card. SUPER EASY!
