March Stamp Club

Always up for a challenge I have been getting challenges for the next month ready ahead of time instead of leaving it to the last minute which always causes stress.  The challenge this month was to create a wedding card using fabric in some way.  I don't have much in the way of fabric but found this piece so decided to see what I could come up with.

Colours: basic gray, rich razzleberry, white
Stamps:  spiced paisley, ittly bitty banners and simply serif alpha (SU), wedding mini (kaiser)
Finishing touches:  perfectly paisley embossing folder and typewriter aplpha die (cuttlebug),  stone baker's twine (the twinery), gray and white ribbons, jac paper

New Supplies

My new purchases from Stamp Club were all put together ready to play with and I finally got a chance to put something together. This is a card for my son who is turning 9 next month. My youngest was wearing a shirt that got me inspired with the colour and pattern.  Some fun sets that work well together.

Colours:  white, black, tempting turquoise, basic gray, going gray, wild wasabi

Finishing touches: bitty banners framelits (SU)

Tis the time for birthday parties.  We were invited to a pirate party so it was an easy decision to put together a card using the pirate from my Dress up Billy set from Pink Cat Studio. As I didn't have much time I used a sketch from my ideas folder {card pictures from mags that I have put together}  Once I had the patterened paper the colour combo followed.

Colours: very vanilla, baja breeze, not quite navy, early espresso, cajun craze
Stamps: billy dress up (PCS), sanded and itty bitty bits (SU), banner builder (PTI), story time alpha (CDS)
Finishing touches: stapler, spiral punch and linen thread (SU), dimensionals, black embossing powder, distressing tool, stiching
