Sapphire Stampers club Jan.17th-Hostess Linda B

Here are the projects that we made at the last club.
This was a cute container that we made using 2 sheets of 12 x 12 DSP

 The flowers were colored using the blends and we added a petal pink rhinestone gem on the old olive linen thread bow (see close up below)

 The card below uses the Joseph's coat technique. 

This technique uses sponge daubers to put color on the paper

emboss the flower stamp in clear embossing and then

cover the entire piece of paper with a dark ink to cover.

After the ink has dried completely, use a tissue to uncover the color under the embossing 

The lovely lipstick foil behind the dark paper you can get as a Sale-a-bration freebie with a $50.00 purchase.

 Below we made a valentine card and used the tufted embossing folder.

 

The card below uses the same layout as the Valentine card above but with a butterfly theme.

The tin tile embossing folder was used on this card

If you look real close in the butterfly above, you can see a spritz of shimmer paint.

Shimmer paint is my latest obsession!

Stampin' Up! On-Stage 2018

I went to On Stage this year.  I go every 5 years it coincides with Stampin' Up!'s anniversary.

This year was Stampin' Up!s 30th Anniversary. I made 60 cards to swap with other demonstrators.

Below is my Swap card.

 

 I also made a charm bracelet using all Stampin' Up! trinkets.  I wore it while I was at On Stage.

15 Years of trinkets I had saved! 

Do you recognize them?

It got pretty crazy Friday night!

Sapphire Stampers Club Jan. 19th-Shari K hostess

Hello,
I have been a little behind  in my blogging.  Here are the projects that we made at the January club night.
The theme/technique for the evening was the masking technique.

The Card below uses the Touches of Texture set 143251

and gorgeous grunge set 130517

The colors are dapper denim and crushed curry on whisper white

 We made the mini magazine holder using dapper denim and the In-Color DSP paper stack

The wink of stella was used on the dragon fly to make it pop.

The masking technique was used on the ww paper using gorgeous grunge and crushed curry ink.

The dragon fly was masked off to keep the flowers show depth behind.

 The masking below was to make the contrast between the sky and the snow.

The classic Lovely as a tree set 128655 was used.

The color was applied using sponge daubers with

Bermuda bay, only orange and crushed curry on the shimmery white cardstock

 And since Valentines day is coming we made a card using the Sealed with Love set 142815

The sending love dsp pack 142733 makes a great background paper

 The new doilies are really nice.  They are laser cut and ww on one side and vv on the other.

The heart was cut out of the copper foil using the love notes framelits dies 142752 

The sending love ribbon pack 142737 supplied the red grosgrain ribbon that holds the heart.

 

It was a fun evening!

Sapphire Stampers Club Mar. 22 Hostess Judy H.

Tues was club night for the Sapphire Stampers.
We did some brayer techniques and made a card using the brayer to make the background.

Easter was the theme this night.

This card used the Work of Art set with Pear Pizazz, So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonder.  I did "CASE" this card from someone's blog page, can't remember who's.  I liked it so much that the only thing I changed was the Wisteria Wonder paper for the card itself and I think I switched up the punched flowers.   

Inside of the card the sentiment below was stamped from the Suite Sayings set

 

Below is the card that we used the Brayer to make the background.

I took the brayer and wrapped several rubber bands of various sizes and used Mossy Meadow ink to create the grass effect.

 I added some Wink of Stella to give it a little shine.  Love that Wink of Stella!

 

And finally we made some cute Easter baskets using the Fry Box die.

So quick and easy to make! 

 The blushing bride Glimmer paper for the Butterfly gives a little bling to the project.

I had to make a few Easter treats for everyone.

I used the Polka dot triangle bags from the Occasions catalog to make the carrots.

I made a bow with the Cucumber Crush Lace Trim Ribbon to resemble the carrot tops.

I also used the sketched dots gift bags to make another treat.

Apparently Polka dots where my theme this month!

Ghirardelli had some cute little Easter treats that fit perfectly inside.

These gift bags are really easy to decorate and can be used for many occasions.  

Item number 138316 $4.00 you get 10 bags!

I used the bow paperclips from the occasions catalog to hold it all together. 

So quick and easy!!

Thanks for stopping by!
