Card Club - November - Snowflake Joy

I started with a navy card.  I cut the navy snowflakes from navy flocked ribbon with Marianne Designs thin die.  It's best to cut from the back side and fortunately with the snowflake it makes no difference in the result. I cut the red scallop borders with a Die-amics die.  I punched holes in the scallops with my 1/8" punch.  I glued the borders down first having measured the distance apart with the white layer.  Then I glued the white layer over the borders.  I then placed the navy flocked snowflake in the centre of the white and used a push pin to create the hole for the snowflake brad.  The J and Y were cut with the Stampin Up! Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies from the same card stock as the borders.  They were glued to the white layer evenly on each side of the snowflake "O".    The girls really liked the turquoise one.

R2G Card Kit - HMP Flower Trio

I started with the HMP Flowers.  I choose a coordinating color for the card.  I added a designer paper piece to which I glued a silver scallop border die cut made with Die-namics die.  The greeting was color printed and cut with a QuicKutz oval die. I rubbed the edges with teal ink pad. I opened the card flat and evenly spaced the flowers below the scallop border. I added the small silver flowers and used a push pin to create the hole for the brads through the card front.  Placed the brads and pressed the prongs apart on the inside of the card.

Scrapbook - Retirement Book of Remembrance

A friend and I created this 12x12 scrapbook album for a couple who retired.  Friends and colleagues sent greetings which were collected into this album. We decided on a black fabric album with a photo on the front.  We selected black, red and white as the color scheme for this book.  Most pages are black except for those set up for co-workers and friends to include their sentiments.   We created borders with Stampin Up! Tasteful Trim Bigz XL, ribbon, Martha Stewart and EK Success border punches.  We prepared about approximately 40 pages onto which letters, emails, and cards were mounted. I think it turned out really well.

Card Club - Christmas Tag

It was a good class today.  I had a good number of ladies out and we had a good time.
This card is based on red, white and blue tags. I started with white cards.  I found Designer Paper to match the tags as some were red and some were blue.  I used a CottageCutz Picket Fence thin die for the border. Once cut in white I trimmed off the pointed ends. I strung the gross grain ribbon through it.  Taped the ribbon to the background DP paper. I adhered the DP layer to the card front.  I glued the tag to the DP with 3D foam tape. I tied the tag onto the border die with the silver cord but it is purely decorative.

I found DP in the light blue in the tag for the red tags and some with red swirls for the blue tags. I used red ribbon for the red tags and blue ribbon for the blue tags.
