Cards for July 08 Cybercrop at Little Scrapbook Shop

Oh Derr Moi!! I just realised I can share the cards I made for the CC now, as the challenges were all posted up on Friday night.
As you know, I totally love stamping. I also love paper piecing, which is very similar to applique (another love of mine). So, I combined the two to created a challenge. The challenge was to use line art stamps and patterened papers (instead of colouring in) to make at least 3 paper-pieced images and use them in a card/cards and/or scrapbook page of any size.
Here are the cards and layouts I created for the challenge. If you would like to see the step by step instructions, click HERE and you will be taken to Little Scrapbook Shop forum and my challenge.
So, without further ado, here they are. . . you can click on the images for a larger view.

Enjoy.

ATC Swap - Cute as a Button

Good morning!
I am just quickly posting a pic of the ATCs I made for the Little Scrapbook Shop ATC Club


These were made using "My Favourite Teddy", which is a retired Stampin' Up! set and one of my favourites. The word came from another SU set, "Warm Words." I stamped about 6 million teddies, coloured in all the bits, then cut the arm on the right and 2 of the legs on the right for each one. I cut the same arm and both legs of 16 stamped teddies, and pieced them all together. Then I stuck a teeny tiny button on the arm and leg of each one. (the short version is, they were paper pieced!).

I forgot to mention that I coloured them in using my Watercolour Wonder crayons and a waterbrush. I LOVE my Watercolour Wonders!!!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Playing Catch Up!!

Good afternoon bloggers!
Ok, I remembered to take my camera to Uniting In Work today yay! So that meant I could play catch up to photograph the cards from the previous 2 classes as well as today. Only a few ladies brought their cards from the last 2 weeks, so here they are holding them up:
The ladies holding up their cards are, from left to right, Pam, Barb, Pat and Heather.


We made these cards using the "Time Well Spent" Level 3 hostess set from the current catelogue. I really like that set. These cards were made by creating the stamped backgrounds on red, white and black cardstock, then stamping the flower and butterfly images and layering them together. Lots of work, but lots of fun too.

Here is a closer look at the cards they made. Pat layered her card at home onto green cardstock and put a green rhinestone in the middle. Nice huh?


These cards were made with another Stampin' Up! set, called "Natural Beauty" and the verse is from a retired set "Warmest Regards". The flowers were stamped with Archival pigment inkpad Sepia and clear embossed. The ladies then coloured them in with markers and a waterbrush.


And here we are, holding the card from today's class. It is a folded pop up card with a diamond in the centre. I saw this demo'd on YouTube HERE and thought my ladies would enjoy it (they did!). From left to right are: Pam, Audrey, Barb, Pat, (me), Joan, Tina (a new lady) and Heather.


And here are all the fab cards together. We used some retired SU 12x12 papers for these in choc-chip/very vanilla. The card also uses Choc-chip and very vanilla cardstock. Stamps we used were from the sets "Carte Postale", "Boho Backgrounds" and "Warm Words". Punches are all SU too: Scallop punch, Word Window and 1 3/4" Circle.


Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day,

Deanne
