Wishing You Well Season’s Greetings

Today I wanted to share a Christmas card we made at Stamp & Go Club last week.  We used the Wishing You Well stamp set which has a pretty fine line wreath.  The image is quite subtle but the highlight of the card is the bow.  This stamp is detailed enough that is truly looks 3-D.  It was fun to watch each guest when they sat down at the table to make this card.  They thought it really was a ribbon bow — love it!!!

Wishing You Well Stamp Set, Tufted Embossing Folder, Christmas
I really went outside of my box and used Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green, definitely non-traditional Christmas colors, at least for me.  I saw this beautiful layout by Sharon Armstrong and knew it would work perfect for this Christmas card.  The Tufted Embossing Folder gave the perfect textured background.

Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Do you page through a Stampin’ Up! Catalog and a stamp set jumps out at you and you think, no, don’t need that set, but it’s there every time you go back to the catalog.  Well, it happens to me all the time.  This time it was the Pleasant Pheasant stamp set.  There was something about that set that just called my name.  I think it’s because my dad and brother used to go pheasant hunting and this set makes me think of my dad.  Yes, I finally gave in and purchased it and I am so glad I did.  Here is a card we made at Stamp & Go Club last week.

 

Pleasant Pheasant Stamp Set, Burplap Stamp, Thanksgiving, Fall
I didn’t use the pheasants this time, I used the wagon full of pumpkins.  The Burlap background stamp gave the card a great texture look and the leaves around the inside piece finished things off.  I stamped the wagon with Memento ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends (I love to color with these markers).

September Scrapbook Pages

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and you did some stamping on World Card Making Day (Saturday).  We spent the weekend with my parents and my mom helped me cut and prep supplies for my Fall Fest event coming up in two weeks.  I didn’t actually stamp but I was crafting.

I realized I never shared last month’s Scrap & Go Club pages.  Since September is the start of fall I wanted pages to show the change from summer to fall.  We used the Country Home stamp set and “sunshine” using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.  The crumb cake distressed strip is from the Tranquil Textures Designer Paper — it gave a fun wood texture look to the pages.  The Eastern Medallions Thinlits worked great for the sunflower.

I love the pot of sunflowers from the Many Blessings stamp set.  We stamped it with Memento ink and colored it using Stampin’ Blends.
