Jubilation - June Stamp of the Month cards

So from being the very last post of the month to the very 1st post of the month - both with stamp of the month cards. Here is what I did for June with this adorable set - it is so stinkin cute and so versatile. I made a range of cards to suit occasions for all year around.

 This cute birthday card is the card we are making at my classes this month - dry embossing and prisma glitter are the fun techniques on this one.

 This adorable "spooky' card uses paper from the Hooligans level 2 paper pack

 Mistletoe paper and tiny red sparkles make a cute Christmas card.

 This one has to be one of my favorites - I rolled the edges of the stamp in a 2nd color to make fall leaves then paper pieced the cornucopia - loved it :O)

 Cranberry cardstock and lots of prisma glitter combined with the scalloped edge created with the corner rounder made this fun Valentines card.

 Petal cardstock which I sanded and layered with a little blush cardstock - then crystal blue, blush and amethyst snowflakes for an alternative winter combination

 Smoothie, lagoon and the new kraft cardstock for a summer card - agin with the prisma glitter hahaha :O)

 The same combination for a corner page bookmark :O)

And last but not least - Olivia paper for a fun Happy New Year card.

Hope you like them :O)

Chairs to You - May Stamp of the Month

Well by the skin of my teeth I just about get in here with the stamp of the month samples for May - nothing like leaving it to the last minute !!!

Anyway - without further ado - here they are :O)

 This 1st one uses Perfect Day paper - yes I know it is retired but I am carefully eeking out my carefully hoarded stash of it :O)

 This cute little one features the paper from Olivia and I colored the chair with markers.

 This one features Mayberry paper and lots of liquid glass on the little pink heart.

 I used Miracle paper on this tag card made with Bamboo cardstock and stamped the chair seat on the paper and cut it out to make the seat patterned.

And last but not least - this card features Sweetheart paper - I used the reverse of the paper as it has a tiny flower - perfect for an 'all over' print for the chair :O)

Hope you like them :O)

You & Me True Fit File Folio scoring guide

Many of you have asked how I scored the 12x12 file folio - so here we go :O)

When you get it out of the packet the tab is on the top on the right.

 Turn the folio inside out so that the tab is now at the top on the left hand side.

 Place it in the paper trimmer (still with this tab on the top left) and score it at 7.5" from the left.

 Then turn the folio 90 degrees to the right and now score it at 6" from the FOLD.

That's it :O) now trim off the tab part and open it up and fold up the bottom 4.5" and then fan fold it to make 4 sections of 6" wide. Decorate it and secure between the pockets with liquid glass :O)
Hope that helps :O)

You and Me - National Scrapbooking Month Kit. Part 2 :O)

Okay this is what I did with the rest of the paper in the kit. Yes I added chocolate,colonial white cardstock and a little desert sand cardstock to this to make the card bases and a little cocoa and colonial white ribbon - but all of the other embellishments are from the kit. Where there looks like there is colored cardstock - eg Spring Iris  or Smoothie - that is where I have taken a piece of colonial white cardstock and then rubbed it with an ink pad or sponged ink onto it to color it.

I have listed the book and pattern the cards were based on underneath each photo for you.

So are you ready. . . . . . . . . . ????   Okay here we go with the 26 cards I made :O)
