Make and Take and Stamp Club HW

I have two simple cards to share with you today. The first card was my make and take card from my May open house.  I wanted allow everyone to make a simple card for free, but not make it too complicated.  Enter the joys of monochromatic cards.  I found this example on Pinterest.  The original can be found at My Creative Corner.

And decided to recreate it using retiring colors and papers.  I have to use them somehow!  Each guest had the choice of making their card in Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, or Raspberry Ripple.

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Wacky Wishes (retired)
  • Cardstock: Gumball Green (retired); 2012-2014 In Color DSP (retired)
  • Ink: Gumball Green (retired)
  • Accessories: 2012-2014 In Color Dahlias (retired)
  • Tools: Patterned scissors; Snail; Paper Trimmer

The second card was my May stamp club homework.  Our host is such a task master!  We have to do homework every month!  Oh, who am I kidding?  We love it and usually end up making more than one example.  I was distracted with other crafts this past month, so I only made one.  Here's the sketch from Operation Write Home:

My interpretation uses a ton of current in colors and some retired DSP.  I love the cool colors and pattern play.  I played with the dimensions a bit (i think they are a bit off), but kept the design just like the sketch.

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Vintage Verses (retired)
  • Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet DSP (retired)
  • Accessories: Pistachio Pudding Ruffle Stretch Trim (retired)
