October 2011 Stamp Club

Stamp Club meets Saturday, October 22nd. Thought you might like a sneak peek of what we will make. We are making gift card holders that can be used for Christmas, birthday, or any holiday and we are making a really pretty card with a unique label on it. The card was inspired by Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.

Christmas Inspiration

When I think of Christmas cards, I think of Cherry Cobbler because it is such a rich, beautiful color. It goes well with greens from Garden Green to Wild Wasabi, and Old Olive in between. This week's challenge by The Paper Players is to make a Christmas card using red and green. Bet you can guess which red I used!

Fall Leaves

PPA115-Fall/Thanksgiving-AND Blog Candy!!

I just love the fall colors. Too bad we don't get to see many of them here in San Antonio. This week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge had a picture that brought fall to my mind. I chose to stamp leaves in my favorite fall colors: Cajun Craze and More Mustard. I have to confess that French Foliage is among my favorite stamp sets because it is so versatile.

This Week's Stamping Challenges

This week, I was excited to see this week's challenges. On The Paper Players, Jaydee's Color Challenge #67 uses Bravo Burgundy, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, and Very Vanilla. I used Lovely as a Tree and French Foliage stamp sets, Hemp Twine, and Gold Embossing Powder. I have been admiring people's cards on Freshly Made Sketches, so I decided to submit this card for their Challenge FMS6.

PPA Challenge 114

This week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge is a color challenge. The colors are Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, and Rich Razzleberry. I decided on a fall card, and started playing with my stamps. I decided on one of my favorite, most versatile stamp sets, French Foliage. Hope you like my design.

Paper Players Challenge 66

This week's theme is music, and I thought right away of The Sounding Joy stamp set. Joy to the World is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and the stamp set is so pretty.

Embossing Fun

Embossing cards and other stamped projects adds sparkle and dimension. I have been working on Christmas and birthday cards. Here is the one I made for the PPA Challenge 113.
