November Stamp Club

I’m slow again, but at least this time, it’s still November!  We had lots of absentees for various reasons at the meeting, but we did our exchange of thank you cards and made our projects.  I couldn’t find my list of who did what, but I actually remembered!

First, Pam’s Upsy Daisy masked and sponged card, an oldie but goody.  I love black silhouettes.

Here’s Ella’s nostalgic swing on a tree with some Flower Soft grass to finish it off.

Herman did this bright patchwork quilted card.

I made this Thanksgiving card using masking and a shimmery spray that’s hard to see in this pic.

Lona made this lovely card with some decorative scissors (I think) and embossing.

Jeannie had the project, a cute ATC with die cuts of layers and birdies and roses or posies, the latter to be quilled into pretty embellishments.  Jeannie had a conflict, so she gave everything to me to have Therese show how to make it, but Therese couldn’t come either.  Good thing I kinda sorta remembered how to quill flowers!  First up, Jeannie’s two samples.

Project samples

On the left is Pam’s finished ATC and mine is on the right.  As Jeannie likes to point out to us, if we’re not all that into ATC’s, we can turn them into cards.  So, I did!  I mounted the ATC on a card front and had a lovely get well card I gave to Janice.  She’s home now.

Pam & Kathy's projects

When I went to see Janice, she showed me some cards her friend Millie had made.  I especially liked this one with the punched out black butterflies cut in half and layered under the white butterflies.

That’s it for this month.  Thanks for stopping by.
