Projects #58, 59 and 60.

Hey Stamp Lovers!

It's Friday! And that means it is time for more stamping.  I had hoped to get four cards done this week, but only managed to get three done.  If I am lucky, I will find a few extra minutes this weekend to finished the fourth.  All of the cards used the Club Scrap Kit: Wisteria.  As I have talked about before, I find it very helpful to limited by choices.  That does not mean I don't have tons of supplies....I do. :)  But I try to limit my choices to just a few options when I do actually find the time to be creative.

Project #58: Happy Anniversary

Supplies:  Stamps (Club Scrap: Wisteria), Dies (Spellbinders: Lacy Squares and Ribbon Banners), Card Stock, Pattern Paper, Ribbon (Club Scrap), Black Ink, Prima Flowers, Brads,  Drew Drops (Robins Nest) and Purple Ink.

Project #59: Note Card

I will admit this card does not have much stamping on it.  The strip of dark purple in the middle card is stamped with a very cool stamp included in the kit, it looks like faux bricks, but with a vintage look.  Very me.  

Supplies:  Stamps (Club Scrap: Wisteria), Dies (Spellbinders: Labels #14), Card Stock, Pattern Paper, Fibers (Club Scrap), Embossing Powder, Embossing Ink (Tim Holtz: Vintage Paper), Ribbon, Pop Dots, Purple Ink and Flower Charm.

Project #60: Thank You

Supplies:  Stamps (Club Scrap: Wisteria/Papertrey Ink: Frame Out #4), Dies (Spellbinders: Butterflies/Papertrey Ink: Frame Out #4), Card Stock, Pattern Paper, Ribbon (Club Scrap), Black Ink, Pop-Dots, Gemstones and Ribbon Slide.

Projects #52, 53 and 54!

Hey Stampers,

This week I worked with another lost and forgotten Club Stamp kit.  I was all set to post what a hard time I had working with pink.  It is one of my least favorite colors to work with....actually pastels in general are hard for me.  But, darn it, two of the cards I created are some of my most favorite cards EVER!  Of course, the 'Wisdom', card does not have any pink on it.  However, it has glitter....which I don't really care for either. (Don't ask why I have glitter embossing powder....I have no good answer.  Maybe it just jumped into my cart.)  But I LOVE this card. :)  The 'Dance' card is so pretty and way more girlie then I usually like.  But it came together beautifully.

The anniversary card is my least favorite.  It is a lift from an old card magazine, but it just did not come together quite like I wanted it too. It feels off balanced to me. Still I had a blast working with the kit.  Each card also used the other elements from the kit, including card stock, pattern paper, ribbon and embellishments.

Many of you know I had also committed to limiting my stamping purchases until I got my current stamps organized.  I am doing pretty well so far.  As I work with long forgotten stamps it has helped to curb my desire to shop.  So it can be done. :) Not to say that shopping is bad.  But I never again want to substitute shopping for creating.

Sadly, I still did not get to the thank you card....maybe next week.  I have the whole card done in my head, now I just need to find a few spare moments to make it come to life.

This week I also wanted to catch up on organizing and get my craft room cleaned up a bit.  I did manage to get my stamp organizing up to date....and I did clean off my work surface.  But  then I used it again. UGGGG!!!! It is a never ending process. :)

Be sure to let me know what you accomplished this week.  Add your pic below or post a comment.  I love to know what you are working on.

Thanks for stopping by,
