Giggle Greetings, Stamp Of The Month

Giggle Greetings

I have to admit it, I did not want to use this stamp set.  Yes, it is very, very cute.  But I was sure I couldn't do a lot of different things with, not enough to keep up the standards the club members would expect from me.  But they said they believed in me....LOL...so I gave it my best shot.  Now, I am thrilled that I did it.  I love these cards and hope you will too!


This card has Whisper White card stock inside.  
The cherries were colored with markers &
blender pens and then covered with Crystal Effects.
The bowl was stamped onto Summer Starfruit &
cut out (the stripe was done with the Cherry
Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker.

The inside of this card has the 'hair ball' and the rest
of the sentiment on the inside on Whisper
White card stock.  I know the cat looks a little
ill...that was my intention! LOL


This card uses the Decorative Dots Textured
Embossing folder from Sale-a-bration for the front
of the card, and the spotted paper is cut from the
Watercolor Wonder cards in the Celebrate The
Everyday catalog.  The dog is cut out and lifted
up using Stampin' Dimensionals on the body & Head.
See layer sample below


This card is made with 3 pieces of card stock to
create the flaps.  The block of cheese is cut from 
Crushed Curry card stock, the candle from 
Coastal Cabana.  I think this is my favorite!

Modern Mosaic

Modern Mosaic


As promised, here is the January Stamp Of The Month Club projects using the Modern Mosaic stamp set.  I love that face that this set has a matching punch and a matching Textured Embossing Folder.  Yes, it even has matching Designer Series Paper, but you'll notice that I didn't use any of it for these designs.  The club girls tell me they like to when I do something unexpected, and they expected the DSP...so nope, I didn't use it!

 Above I used markers to color the punches mosaics
& part of the sentiment.

 It's hard to see in this picture, but I did use the 
Textured Embossing Folder on this card.  
The 9 larger mosaics are punched out and the smaller 
ones are stamped onto the textured card stock.

 When was the last time you used a Stamp-a-ma-jig?
I love using mine and it was perfect for this fun design.

FUN!  This one uses stamps & framelits from 
the Celebrate the Season catalog.

Until next time . . .
