June's Stamp Club Part 3

Dazzling Butterfly Birthday Card

I saw gorgeous this card at Dawns Stamping Thoughts. A Photo really doesn't show how beautiful it really is AND it is not difficult at all! 


Unfortunately the Designer Series Paper has retired. BUT some alternatives I like are the Neutrals Color Collection Stack (or any of the Color Collection stacks) on page 144 in the catalog or some of papers from the Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper on page 142.

Here's the link for the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ua91TSOnow

Stacked Up Card

I wasn't too sure I would use the ice cream cone from the Sprinkles of Life stamp set until I saw a card similar to the one I made on Split Coast Stampers. Something about how the ice cream layers were stacked just didn't appeal to me. I also like these colors because I can give it to a male.

Easter Wreath Card

I was careless and did not write down where I saw this card. I am sorry.
























The sentiment comes from a retired stamp set called Wacky Wishes.

Curvy Bunny Box

I saw a cute bunny box made with Stampin' Up's Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits die on Pintrest the link went to Etsy. It was so darn cute I had to make one. Making the box and the face was the very easy part, the ears ... not so easy. Proportion is not my strong suit.
I punched the inner ears from the 'Retired' Blossom Petal Builder and from there I drew around one of them to get the outer ear.
 
I used White Bakers Twine for the tail and adhered it with glue dots. I think she turned out cute.
We made this at this months stamp club.

The World!

Another post in January! Whew!
I CASED this card from jaydeestamping.com. The airplane was cut 3 times in Soft Sky and glued one on top of the other.
The World Map stamp was stamped on to vellum cardstock with Marina Mist ink. The frame was cut with the Circle Framelits and the top layer of Whisper White is embossed with the Arrows embossing folder. The sentiment was made on the computer and printed on Whisper White.
