Just believe club project

This was one of our last month's club projects. We used the Just Believe stamp set. We decided to create a sunset look using daubers this time. This picture really doesn't do this card justice. It really doesn't show the gradual shading or the glitter that is in various spots showing some shine.
Basically we stamped the flowers with black stazon on Whisper White paper. We then took Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful blue, Not Quite Navy and Night of Navy to apply shading to the card. We also used markers and colored in the saying (Pumpkin and Navy) and then punched with the 1 3/4" circle. The Pumpkin circle was cut using the Big Shot and the circle die.
The ribbon is our fun new 1/8" taffeta ribbon in Daffodil Delight. It was a pretty quick card even with all the shading. I hope you enjoy the card today and I hope this reminds you to take time to enjoy some of God's beautiful gifts he gives us.
Blessings.

matchbox and big flower club project

We made these little matchbooks at club. I saw the idea first I believe from Becky Roberts a fellow demonstrator. I did modify it some though. I used Poppy parade, a new incolor, and Not Quite Navy and whisper white. This little book opens up to hold little 3x3 note cards. The flower on top we made with the big flower punch. We then took a smaller circle punch and then punched the ends of the petals. We then cut in with our snips toward the center. I thought it looked like a pretty summery type flower. Just a little blue is all. :) We then stamped the circle from Just Believe and punched that out and added a dimensional underneath and a little crystal jewel on top for a little added bling. We scalloped the front using the scallop border punch and tied Whisper white ribbon around the bottom to hold the "secret" staple that holds it all together.
It was a fun little project that holds a few little cards.
It was fun to make and very easy. Just a few scores, a few punches and it was all done. I added a card on the inside that looks just like it except I added a saying to the front of the card on the bottom right side of the white.
So I hope you enjoy my share today. Sorry, I'm such a slacker. September is such a crazy month with several items a day on the agenda for most days. Have a great day today.
