"This and That" new product line

March 2013 Stamp Club

 Yesterday was Stamp Club for March and it was a beautiful day, nearly summer-like here in southern California. The projects I had prepared are all Spring-inspired from pretty florals to the bunny treat holder for Easter.  The projects this month were either CASED from other demonstrators or inspired by others.  Here is the first project using a single stamp called "Ears to You"

(This project was CASED from my upline Sandy Hancock.  You can view her blog here: sandystamper.com).  You might notice that my project does not include the greeting "Ears for You".  When the stamp arrived, I cut the greeting off of the bottom, basically creating 2 separate stamps:  the bunnies, and the words. This way I could easily ink the bunnies and trade the greeting out if I wanted to. In place of "ears to you" I chose the "happy easter" greeting from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.

The tube is actually triangle-shaped, super cool!  It is a piece of card stock 8" x 4 1/4" and then scored at 2", 4", 6" . After scoring, we ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka dots embossing folder. We then assembled it (so the plain un-polka dotted portion does not show) and assembled with Scor-Tape.  The elegant eggplant and the white shape on the the front are cut with the Big Shot using the Labels Collection framelits. The bunnies are masked so we could easily add the sky with clouds and the grass. A 5" piece of Scallop Dots ribbon (elegant eggplant) was threaded through a punched hole and tied in a knot to finish.  A full-size candy bar will fit perfectly in the tube or 2 fun-size packs of M&Ms fits well too (pictured).

The next project was completely CASED from Pam at www.stampandstretch.com  The beautiful combination of blues and yellow was enticing and I love, love, love the new Designer Builder Brads.

We used Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight card stock and inks.  The sentiment is from the set called Friendly Phrases.

The third project was created using a technique that is called Triple-time Stamping. My good friend and fellow demonstrator Dee Hunt passed this technique along to me.  It appears to have originated by Dawn Olchefske at DO Stamping.  I chose images from the Everything Eleanor stamp set. the sentiment is from Create a Cupcake stamp set.

The gals in the AM club made the card using Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade ink, Calypso Coral  and Very Vanilla card stock. The gals in the PM club made the card with Pool Party and Lucky Limeade ink and Whisper white and Pool Party card stock.  Bakers twine in matching colors is the perfect embellishment, finished with a button (from the current SAB brochure).

I hope you will have  lots of fun copying these projects or using them as inspiration for your own amazing projects!
