October Creative Images Meeting

We had a lot of ladies at our first meeting at Priceless’ new location on Easy Street.  Trish was still moving in but Bonnie uncovered a table for us and we were good to go.  We had Kari as a guest and Dani is a returning member.  Here’s a pic of Janice and Lona with Trish back behind her new counter.  Click on any picture to enlarge it.  Lona looks thrilled that I’m taking her picture!

 

Of the thirteen ladies there, eleven brought an exchange card (theme “Thinking of You”), but only Jeannie and Therese brought ATC’s, so we moved the ATC swap to November hoping for more participation.  Bring ten and leave with ten, theme “Old World” is just a guide, not a requirement.  All of our themes are that way.  Also in November, we are signing up for the January shoe box swap/stamp camp.

This first card is Ella’s lovely butterfly.  She said the dotted Swiss background on the butterfly came on the paper and was not embossed before she die cut it.

Connie made this with a puffy fabric flower and designer papers.  Love the sentiment.

Holly used some of her ephemera photos for her leaf-themed card.  The lady walking through leaves, the leaf brads and swirls all work great together.

Janice made this darling tea bag holder with the fold Rosie taught us a few months ago.

Here’s the insides.  Makes you want to have a cuppa tea.

Jeannie found this pear card in her stash from past exchanges.  Dani had made it long ago!

Therese made this cute round card.  Lots of fussy cutting, my fave, and love the ric rac trim on the brolly.

Here’s my palmy sunset.  IRL you can see the shimmery cardstock it was brayered onto.

This is Lona’s Warm Thoughts card.  IRL it is a much BRIGHTER hot orange!  Lona does not do subdued!

Here’s Pam’s pheasant from SU’s Autumn Days.  I like the brown grosgrain ribbon with the knot under the bird’s tail.

Rosie made this easy, quick and painless card at one of my workshops. 

Tange made this swirly card in shades of purple, green and pink. 

 

I did the project this month, little Halloween luminarias.  You can barely see the flameless votive candle inside with the lights on.

But turn the lights off and there you go.

These were really simple to make and can be made for any season or occasion.  Think blue and white with snowflakes, white with bells, endless possibilities.  But, hey, it’s our October project!  I used SU’s Haunting jumbo wheel on vellum with black Stazon for the trick or treaters.  Dimensions for the base are:  3 x 10.5”, scored at 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10”.  Stamp on vellum and cut squares to fit openings punched with 1 3/4 punch, with slightly smaller 1 3/8 punch to make the feet.  A 1 1/4” square punch would also work.

That’s it for this month’s meeting.  More in a week or so for Janice’s workshop.  We’re making Christmas cards.

Thanks for stopping by. Comments always welcome!
