June Card Club

Oh my we had such a good time at card club this month! It was so good to see everyone! Sometimes these months go so slow and seems forever before I see my friends! I love them all so much.

I just wanted to share a few of the cards we made this month! I really made them work!  They are all very patient with me and my card ideas!

Don't you just love the Jubliee (X7181B) paper pack??? There are so many options with this paper! Here is the one we did!


Their cards actually had a red ribbon with a yellow circle where mine is blue, and they used some of the red gingham paper instead of the zip strip. They were so much prettier. But I do like mine too!

This fun little birthday card is what I refer to as a 'tucker'! It is small, 3 1/2" x 3" finished size. Just the right size to tuck in a gift bag, tuck in your husband or child's lunch box, or a jacket pocket or even a suitcase!!! Therefore the name "tucker".
I hope you can see the chevron pattern on both the white and the red paper. They were put in the embossing folder in different directions to give it a little different dimension. And of course the sanding makes the white core stand out.




This is one of my favorites. We used the chevron stamp from the hostess set 'Doodle Signs', and the use of only three colors.
I put the colors together for them, every two ladies used the same colors (out of the 12 of them, six cards had the same two colors). The trim behind the strip of chevrons was their choice, but did match one of their ink colors. They also got to chose which color to stamp 'Friend' in.

All the cards were a little different and all just beautiful.

And last but not lease - using the June Stamp of the month 'Kaboom' they made this darling round card. Again they sanded the red embossed cardstock to make it look like the stripes of the flag and to make the stars stand out.

What wonderfully creative ladies they are.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed our cards!

'Show Your Patriatism' Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop! We are going to show you some Patriotic Art with an Attitude, so here we go on a 'red, white and blue' journey.

Welcome to Becky's Studio.

If you have come from LaJeania Hicks' - blog, you are on the right track. Doesn't she do beautiful work?

Patriotism is a big part of our life and we are thankful everyday for our country and our freedoms.

God Bless America!

Patriotic art work is great any month of the year - but especially perfect in July, the month of our countries birthday!

I love the flag from our new Patriotic stamp set (it is still available - while supplies lasts until July 31) so I knew I had to use it! And what better for stars than our gorgeous silver glitter paper, and lots of red, white and blue! The Tommy paper pack was used for the banners, and the little stars have our wonderful Prizma Glitter on them to make them stand out.

The next blogger on this hop is another amazing artist Jaime Llewellyn ~ 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey through our patriotism!

Monthly Card Clubs

After a month off from my Card Clubs - it was great to see everyone! A few ladies were not able to make it - but - we had fun none the less, and we missed them all terribly!

The cards were a little time intensive this month (hey!!! I did give them a month off :~})!!! But they were fun and they all turned out lovely. And they learned a new technique too!


Here is a picture of the cards we made. They were all very simple cards to make with lots of coloring.
One of the ladies mentioned that we were like a group of kids - 'hand us color crayon and we stop talking' - so funny, but we did seem to get very quiet while doing our coloring. But that's what made it fun too!

The patriotic card is our new stamp set 'Land of the Free' - a portion of the sale of this stamp set goes to the USO - how cool is that. And it's also the card with the new technique!
The stars on the left side of the card were made by inking an embossing folder and running it through the cuttlebug!  Pretty cool isn't it?   Love love love that technique!

I would love to show you how to do this technique the easiest way! You will love it.

Can you see the sparkle of the fireworks???



Happy Flag Day!!
