Club Scrap Botanicals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Botanicals bloghop.  

If you arrived here from Tricia'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. 

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

 I get my digital kit on the first day of the month.  Here's a page I did with it for my daughter's wedding shower tea party.  I needed a nice page to document the gifts she received.  The Botanicals Background paper and the Overlay 2 worked perfect.  I added the digital tea cups from the London Calling Digital Kit.

After my Club Stamp Kit arrived I sat down to play with the stamps and make some cards. 

This card was made using my MISTI and distressed markers.  It was so easy to color each flower and stamp it knowing that each time I stamped I was in the right spot!

This card is a CASE from this PIN on the Club Scrap Botanicals Mood Board.  There are so many great ideas for cardmaking on that board.  

Next up is Deb on her Deb duz scrappin blog. 

 Happy Crafting!

Inspired By Stamping 3D Project

Today I am on the Inspired by Stamping blog with this 3D project.  You may recall a similar project like the one below using the Australian Birds Stamp Set.  Today I went back to the Winter Birds Stamp Set to create this Screen Divider Card with a Christmas theme.  (Yes, I know, it is a little early for Christmas projects but I love this stamp set).

This is such a great winter display piece that showcases these lovely birds!  These screen dividers can be folded and mailed in an A2 envelope!  

Happy Crafting!

Inspired by Stamping Sunday Inspiration

Here's another Sunday inspiration card using the Inspired by Stamping Honey Bee Set.

I made this card very flat so it is easy to mail.  This one will be shipped off to Operation Write Home for our troops to write home on!

Inspired By Stamping Masculine Birthday

Today I am over on the Inspired by Stamping blog showing a masculine birthday card.  This is a case where the designer paper inspired me.  It looked like a sunset over winter snow.

The Masculine Tags II stamp set had this wonderful image of the lone wolf with the mountains behind.  Living in Colorado, this image spoke to me.  With a cardstock flag to anchor the image and a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings any man would enjoy the scenic beauty on this card!  Masculine cards don't always have to be browns or subdued blues.  Bright colors can work too.  Just keep the embellishments to a minimum.

I am linking this to my friend and House of Cards DT member Monika's "My Birthday Party Linky-Party".  I cased her masculine card.

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #14

It's time for another challenge over at CASE-ing Christmas.  If you play along with us every week you could have all your Christmas Cards done in time for Christmas!  Here's my CASE for this week.

This week we are CASE-ing Rocky's card.  

I went very simple with this CASE.  I fell in love with the cute Basic Grey cross stitch DP from my stash.  The ornament stamp is CTMH.  I blinged it up with SU silver ribbon and gems.  Stop on over to CASE-ing Christmas and play along with us this week.

Happy Crafting!
