July Club Projects (Shannon)

We had a fantastic club tonight!!! Here are the projects...using all kinds of new products!
This one uses my new favorite stamp set (not a surprise, I am sure): Chic Boutique....
...and a little bit of Melon Mambo card stock & ribbon....bummer that the dazzling diamonds on the Eiffel Tower didn't show up in the photo!
Next....Rich Razzleberry CS, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP cut out w/Big Shot butterflies, and Razzle Dazzle stamp set to make the background....
Lastly, I made a card using Medallion. I copied one of the samples in the catalog and used pastels--love love love the little halo it leaves behind! I did two-tone pastels. Then used a metal edge tag for the center....for the club, everyone made one w/the Really Rust pastel and a Dusty Durango center. But after club, I started messing around with other colors and made these.....
This one is my favorite.....for obvious reasons: PURPLE! (I used Lovely Lilac & Elegant Eggplant pastels, with a Rich Razzleberry center).

Accordion folded flowers (Shannon)

I saw a card sample online and I tried to recreate it from my mind but was having a really difficult time--it just wasn't turning out! So I started playing around and this is what I made instead....


This was the first one I tried and made such a mess of it that i went back after and figured out how to make it work. Zoey chose the DSP so I made it for her.




Not the cutest cards I've ever made but they were fun and I want to try some more.....

Merci (Shannon)

Last month, I made my sis some thank you notes for her Moulin Rouge shower....and here they are. Inside they say "merci".
I used an Eiffel Tower stamp set from a far inferior stamp company--but it was the best one I had so it had to do....however I just got Stampin' Up!'s newest Eiffel Tower stamp, and I seriously cannot wait to use it! It will definitely be on one of our club projects this month!
