September

We are looking forward to having new members join us after the club's annual Kick-Off Coffee. If you love papercrafting, come and join us. If you are new to it, we'll help you. If you are experienced and have ideas - we love new ideas!! Most importantly, we love to gather and talk and have fun. You can make either one of these cards or both.

Flourishes
Supplies:

white/ivory cardstock - 12" x 12"
brown cardstock
background print paper or cardstock
two coordinating papers or cardstock
brown sheer ribbon
twine, string, thin ribbon
pearl halves
pop dots

Card: 6-1/4 x 9 - you need a 12 x 12 to get this size.
brown backgrounds: 6" x 4-1/4" & 4" x 3"
print background:5-3/4" x 4"
smaller print background: 3-3/4" x 2-3/4"

I used my sewing machine on the two rectangles. If you want to prep them ahead of time, you can. We won't be doing the sewing at Cardmaking. The white circle, button strip and flourishes are all shaded with brown ink. The flourishes and circle will be made at my house with dies. You can choose from a variety of greetings to stamp on your circle.

Halloween Cards
Ronda designed these Halloween cards and I apologize that I can't rotate them upright but I couldn't figure out how to make her photos cooperate. If you would like to make some Halloween cards just bring some cardstock in: black, white, orange, yellow and lime green.



August

We worked on miscellaneous cards this month:

 I made this version of the dress card we've made before in white glitter paper that was then embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. The background (a red shimmer paper) is embossed with the Cuttlebug Flourish folder. I'm using this as a wedding shower card.
This is the card I made for the wedding.
