November Hostess Club




For those of you who don't know this, one of the things I do with my stamping business is have a set group of ladies come over once a month. I have projects for them to do and they place a Stampin' Up! order with me. We always have fun and I love having a chance to visit with "the stamping ladies" as the boys call them. The ladies take turns being the hostess, which entails bringing the snacks for the month and getting the free merchandise that our hostesses get. Here are photos of the projects that we did this month. Both of these card ideas were copied from the presentations at the mini regional conference in Jackson a few weeks ago, although I changed the colors for the ribbon flower card.




Project One: Sunset Card


Punch a circle out of a sticky note and put it on a piece of white cardstock. Sponge Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Ruby Red (in that order- lightest to darkest) ink one at a time on white cardstock. Remove the circle, exposing the white area underneath. Dab more of the Summer Sun on the exposed white area. Stamp an image in black on top of this "sunset" background and layer with various colors of cardstock.




Project Two: Ribbon Flower Card


This card is harder to explain in writing. I stamped a snowflake on the back of a small piece of pink cardstock. This snowflake simply served as a guide for punching the holes to thread the ribbon through. We sewed taffeta ribbon through the holes to create the flower; the back looks terribly messy but the front turns out cute! Add a flat backed pearl from the embellishments kit from the Stampin' Up! catalog (adhere with a glue dot). If you need more details for this card please let me know!
