Stamp Club Challenge - June

 

Hi Stampers

Nearly made it through the school holidays, just a couple more days. Once again life keeps getting in the way of my stamping. The challenge for June was to decorate a bag tag that was provided and here is how it went.

 

We start with Wendy’s tag inked in the Wisteria Wonder and using a Sale –a-bration stamp set.

This next one is by Raylee – who has used the Retiform Grid technique.

  

Colleen’s is next up, Rhinestone Jewels were used in the butterflies and in the top picture she has used the jewelry tag punch

  

Tania who also managed to get Rhinestones onto the tag

 

Alayne – who is loving using the ‘Big Shot’

Stephanie – I have missed getting the ribbons that were tied along the side.

Hope you enjoyed these designs, happy stamping.

This is Colleen’s card with her very clever flower made with Bakers Twine and an antique brad and I spy one on Jo’s card as well. This Challenge was a ‘Try Stamping on a Tuesday’ sketch selected by Tania.

Stamp Club Challenge - April

Hi Stampers

Slowly catching up on my blogging. Today we have April’s stamp club challenge. The challenge is the Mojo Monday sketch number 232.

  Did you recognise this top card as Colleen’s work, well done to you if you did.This Is Jo’s card above, using up some retired product – good to see.   This is Tania’s card – more retired product in use here as well. 

Seeing the retired product in use reminds us of what has been and a great way to make room for all the up and coming products that Stampin’ Up has to offer.

Stamp Club Challenge - March

Hi Stampers

‘My bad’ is the phrase that my cherubs use when they do something wrong – takes a bit of getting use to so I thought that I would use this phrase, yes I should've posted these wonderful creations from the talented stamp club ladies. I will start with March creations.

As a group we really loved the Everyday Enchantment paper that was part of the Sale a bration promotion. 

Wendy was the creator of the card above.

  Jo’s daughter Simone had a hand in this card, Simone is very fond of horses.

If I remember rightly and Tania may have to correct me, this was made with her new man in mind.

And this was Colleen’s very clever card. Colleen’s cards are very detailed and you can see more of her work over here.

For the March challenge Colleen came up with – Take the initials in your name and choose something to use for each of them, then name one, two and three things to use on your card. It could be embellishments, colours or techniques. It was a great challenge, thanks Colleen.

Thanks for looking

Another stamp club project

Hi Stampers

Ooooops I forgot to add this beautiful project that Stephanie did for the challenge last month. Stephanie made this just before she had her beautiful baby girl so I really appreciate the effort that she made.

The challenge was to recreate a project that we have made at stamp club over the pass year.

Love these colours together – Stephanie did a great job.
