Club Cards

Here are a couple of cards that we made at club the other night. A lot of my club members are new to stamping so I started off with something really simple. Yes, it is simple, but I LOVE this card. I love these colors together, and I love the Absolutely Fabulous stamp set.


On a side note: I know the girl who designed this stamp set. She works for Stampin' Up!. I met her last year when she posted that she was looking for a roommate at convention. (For more pictures click on the convention 2007 link on the right hand side of my blog under categories.) I got lucky and ended up being her roommate not knowing that she worked for Stampin' Up! at the time. Some of you may know of her. She has a blog that is absolutely fabulous (how convenient that that's the name of the stamp set). Check her blog out at kwernerdesignblog.

Now back to the card: This card was so fast and sooooo easy. I just stamped the flower from the Priceless stamp set on Whisper White cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink, and punched it out with my 1 1/4" circle punch. I put a brad in the middle and then layered it on pretty in pink cardstock that I punched out with my 1 3/8" circle punch, and layered that on chocolate chip cardstock that I punched out with my scallop punch. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I put the saying You're absolutely fabulous on under the flower.


Still keeping it simple for my club members, I used the same flower but added to it and changed the saying. I stamped the flower in Pretty In Pink, then took my Chocolate Chip marker and colored around the outside of the flower to bring in another color. This is called the stamp to marker technique. After I got the brad in and the layering done, I took my 1/16" hand punch and I punched in the center of each scallop "petal". I used dimensionals to adhere it to the card. For the stem, I used Whisper White craft ink. I also used the same ink for the saying at the bottom. I added some Pretty in Pink grograin ribbon, rounded the corners off with my corner rounder and called it good!
