August Card Club Projects

Here are the two projects we did at my Card Clubs this month.

This is a tri-fold card with a belly band.  The Chocolate Chip CS is cut at 6" X 9" & scored every 3".
There are quite a few little surprises on this one.
The fun thing about the belly band is that after you crimp it, run a Chocolate ink pad over it to high-light the crimping.  Very neat effect!


There was a choice to do either Pumpkin or Mustard since I had paint chips in both of those colors.  Yes, the striped, colored pieces are cut down paint chips!  They were those extra large ones so I was able to cut the color names off & still have a decent sized paint chip.
The first step with this card is to punch the circles in the top & bottom of the Chocolate card with the 1 3/8" circle punch.  Just push it all the way in, center it & punch. 
The 'donut' that layers the front image was done with our 1 1/4" circle punch & a circle cutter.
We stamped the owls from the new set 'Owl Together Now' in Brown Stazon ink & colored with markers.


Here's the inside of the card.  We stamped the large piece of Vanilla card stock making sure the owl was seen through the circle window.

We stamped the owl first, then masked his wing & added the balloon.
The flower with a brad is done by first stamping the flower from the Owl set & covering it with a flower punched from the Trio Flower punch using another piece of the paint chip.

The finished card is 3" X 6".

Here is the other card we made.  They chose between the pink & red card.
I just had to use our new colors & the Bella Rose DSP.  So when I found this card of Vera's, I cased it almost exactly!  Thanks Vera!! I just love your work. 
I thought she was so clever to figure out we could use the stamped frame from Frames with a Flourish in our Photo Corner punch!  Isn't that just neat??

The colors are Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red & Kiwi Kiss.
We also used the Scalloped Border Punch on the middle Kiwi piece.
The words inside the ovals are from the Hostess set 'Happiness Always' & Holiday's & Wishes.
