July Card Club -

Welcome to Becky's Studio ~

Here are the cards we did for card clubs this week!

Summer is definitely upon us right now so I just had to make some cards with our fun 'Tommy' paper pack all red, white, blue and yellow!

And the 'Surfs Up' paper pack with a beach theme.

The card on the left is made with a fun fabric flower for weddings that are going on all summer long.
And last but not least my friend Karen showed us this fun quick technique at our last meeting, and I just had to share it! So fun! Besides, one can never have too many thank you cards around, don't you think?

I hope you like them, they were fun to make.

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!!

June Stamp of the Month

I absolutely fell in love with this stamp set! The flowers can be made just about any color you want - just use your imagination. These flowers were embossed with black and I used water color pencils and the water color pen to color them. The two flowers in the back were stamped directly onto the paper, the one in the front was stamped separately, cut out then attached with foam dots to make it 3d (which is kind of hard to see in the picture) 

If you would like to learn how this technique works - I would love to show you how.

FUN IN THE SUN - Blog hop!


Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  The blogger in front of me is Jen Patrick- http://roxybonds-scrappin.blogspot.com so if you came from her blog you are on the right track.   The Stampers with an Attitude are all excited to show you a little Art with an Attitude, so here we go.

There are so many things that remind me of summer... and since that is the theme of my card clubs this month I just have to share a couple of the cards they will be making! Shame on me but I just couldn't help myself posting two pix.

The first card I made is all about 'Sunshine and Ice Cream'! What is more fun in the sun than that? The sun was made using Art Philosophy's 'star 1' using Honey and Sunny Yellow. The ice cream cone is made using an older stamp set but so much fun! Desert Sand cone, Honey ice cream. The ribbon is CTMH white gross grain stamped with "sunshine" using the "honey" pigment ink - how fun is that?

My second card has very little stamping but has just as much fun in the sun! The Ocean Beach and Spinners. I used Sky for my card base. When you tear the Juniper paper just right it looks like waves on the ocean then tear some Champagne cardstock for the sand. The spinners were made by using two 2 inch squares and one 2 1/4 inch square.

I had a lot of fun making these simple summer cards!

Thanks for stopping by.
