Club Scrap Reunion Blog Hop

Happy (almost) New Year Club Scrap blog hoppers!  Welcome to the Reunion Bloghop.  If you arrived here from Annette's blog you are in the right place.  If you arrived here from somewhere else and would like to start at the beginning of the bloghop, go HERE to the Club Scrap blog.

I subscribe to the Club Scrap Digital Kit, the Art Nouveau Stamp, Club Stamp Kit,  Unmounted Borders and Backgrounds Stamp, and the Embellishment Pack.  

Due to the holiday bustle I only had time to make a card for the blog hop.

The large Collection stamp and the large Borders and Background stamp are perfect for coloring with markers.  I like to stamp with black ink and then heat emboss with clear EP before I begin coloring.  It makes it easier to color inside the lines.  I used distressed markers to color with.   I love the beautiful satin flowers that came as part of the embellishment kit so I had to use one on my card.  I backed the flower with the "bubble" stamp from the Art Nouveau Stamp Set.  

Thanks for joining us on the hop!  Next up is Wendy Bellino.   If you want to go back to the beginning of the blog hop go to the Club Scrap Blog here.  

Happy Crafting!

Howdy Club Scrap Blog Hoppers.  Welcome to the Holiday Blog Hop.  If you came here from the Club Scrap blog then you are in the right place.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop the go HERE to get to the Club Scrap Blog.

Today I used both the Gnome for the Holidays and the I'll be Gnome for Christmas to make this fun banner for my fireplace.

Here's a close-up of Mr. Gnome.

And Mrs. Gnome's close-up!

Mrs. Gnome is all blinged out in her Christmas best.  

It's hard to see but I red Stickled all the berries on the holly.  

Ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Next up on the Holiday Blog Hop is Julie the "Cape Cod Scrapper."  

Happy Crafting!

Friendship

Today over at the Inspired by Stamping blog we are showcasing cards with a theme of friendship.  I used the Friends Forever Stamp Set to create my friendship card.  I stamped with Archival Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to get the crisp black lines. I added a little bit of yellow Stickle to the stamens after I colored the flower.

This is just a very simple card, very flat so it is easy to mail.  I know the flag in the left corner looks blue but it really is more purple than that. That color does not photograph well for some reason. Hope your Christmas plans are going well!  

Happy Crafting!

Graduation Card

One of my former Girl Scouts is graduating from college this month.  She is also one of my daughter's best friends.  It does my heart good to see how all the Girl Scouts in our troop have grown up into fine young ladies.  Here's my card for the graduate!

Here's the inside - I really love this sentiment for graduates!

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

Happy Stamping!
