....either that or I'm just busy busy busy. I enjoy blogging, so I think I'll go with the latter.
Well, the month of October is gone. I had a Halloween Stamp Class and made a few treat holders and a card. All similar to things other stampers are showcasing. So much fun to make....I just haven't photographed them yet....one day....one day.....
I do have a few cards to show though. I made a stack of cards for an auction that was raising money for a local charity. I'm all about themes. Before creating my first card, I had to come up with something that tied all the cards together. I knew I couldn't keep them all the same color; so I went with a floral theme. Every card showcased flowers in one way or another.
Card #1: Simple with a touch of elegance. I could stamp a zillion cards like this. I (heart) them greatly.
Card #2: I'd been dying to try out the quilted look. Such a great way to use up those scraps we all hold onto! I liked this technique so much that I also taught my Stamp Club girls how to do it too!
Card #3: I've created these tulip flowers before, but still love them. Fairly simple to create but still pack a big elegant punch! (haha, get it, PUNCH - since they are created with the 2-step bird punch!...so funny)
Card #4: Who can resist a big ol' bow!?!?! I dream in Rich Raspberry. This is one of my favorite colors!
Card #5: You may be asking yourself, "Ok, where are the flowers??" I was reaching a bit here and therefore decided that a branch could potentially be from a flowering bush! If that isn't good enough, well the bird is made from flowery designer card stock. Work with me people!
Card #6: I learned this technique from a scrapbooking convention I went to in August. Sew simple but so darn cute! I love the shabby quality of the card from the frayed edges of the fabric.
I included two additional cards in the auction, but I've already featured them on this blog. So, figured why bore you with some oldies. I bore you enough with my rambling.
Hope you all have a fabulous day and find a little inspiration to make your hobby into a way of giving back! Happy Stampin!!
