May Scrapbook Pages

Tuesday night was my Scrap & Go Club.
We gather together each month to create
two 12" x 12" pages.
This month I was thinking of feminine designs
to coordinate with Mother's Day.
They could put any pictures on these pages but
they would go especially well with all the
Mother/Daughter pictures or family pictures
celebrating Mom.

We used Wisteria Wonder and Smoky Slate for our color palette.
The stamp set was Beautiful Bunch and the Fun Flower
coordinating punch — both items are on the retiring list.

We added 1/2" banners which we punched using the
Hexagon Punch (retiring)
and Neutrals Color Collection Designer Paper.
We tucked a Tea Lace Paper Doily (retiring) under
the bottom mats to help with the feminine feel of the pages.
We also added assorted sizes of Pearls to the flower centers.
Across the center we put Everyday Chic Silver Metallic
Washi Tape
on Wisteria Wonder cardstock and attached to the page.

Here is the second page.
We used all the same elements on this page except
we changed the designer paper to the Subtles Color Collection
using the Wisteria Wonder pieces.

Items on the Retiring List are selling out so get those items
ordered so you don't miss out.

Vintage Butterfly

This was one of the cards I saw on a display board
at On Stage last month.
I love all the different texture looks on the card.
The stamp set used is Butterfly Basics.
Butterfly Basics Vintage

They started by stamping the fern once with VersaMark ink
and embossing it with White Embossing Powder.
Next it has a wash of Early Espresso, going over
the embossed fern. 
Then stamped
the speckles from Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
The fern is stamped again with full strength
Early Espresso ink and then stamped again without
reinking the stamp.
Stamp the postage seal with Early Espresso ink.

A butterfly is cut from Tip Top Taupe cardstock using the
Butterflies Thinlit.  Attach it to the card with
dimensionals.
Cut two pieces of 1/2″ Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon
and using Linen Thread tie a bow and the White Ribbon.
Attach to the butterfly with glue dots.

All God’s Grace Thank You

Last month I shared a Baptism card that my
daughter Katie made using All God’s Grace stamp set.

Today I’m sharing a Thank You card that
she made using the same stamp set.
I have come to believe this is a MUST
have stamp set for everyone.
Communion Thank YouThe base is a Whisper White Note Card.
She used Mint Macaron ink with Gorgeous Grunge
stamp set to stamp the speckles all over the card front.
She added a layer of Basic Black and Mint Macaron
cardstock across the center.
She stamped the cross with Mint Macaron ink
and punched it out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch.
Stamp Thank You with Memento ink and
attached the circle with dimensionals.

This card is quick to assemble and you are
ready to pop them in the mail — quick and simple.
