Since new stamp clubs started in July, I made two sets of club cards. This little birdie card was cased from <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1202961?&cat=16128">this card</a> on Splitcoast. I was just getting around to using Pacific Point in June.

My dear friend and former teaching colleague, Zandria, is one of those people. She's fun, smart, witty, creative, talented, and to put it simply...FABulous! A few weeks back, she came for a visit and we spent the weekend designing and assembling custom invitations for her 40th birthday bash. Here's what we made:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO_vizILTHPuEZ6PhTq2dVOHH_zcrNNWGItaiINuurCTQabNF5AajMNii8FoFM0FXTyVtOC2rAcPoBI1aA8zNLHng1fB2U1N1Ihiyk_hRtB_AqZZKlrIQBReevExfUYfMNgh6UR1x-k2xF/s1600-h/IMG_3617.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366009324477535746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO_vizILTHPuEZ6PhTq2dVOHH_zcrNNWGItaiINuurCTQabNF5AajMNii8FoFM0FXTyVtOC2rAcPoBI1aA8zNLHng1fB2U1N1Ihiyk_hRtB_AqZZKlrIQBReevExfUYfMNgh6UR1x-k2xF/s400/IMG_3617.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovuCg7PNChQFjLdK68P6TVVG0V02eyDK3V4aTNUaXtolzbI5QTKuRNo1X9K6KFkgeS2Rg6zSev7V6vl75iU2eO6j7v8HaQhexsTmBij5_K9mRxIW3hFHKToNszlVkP5d5gknVNrV5wfuQ/s1600-h/IMG_3618.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366009311366227298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovuCg7PNChQFjLdK68P6TVVG0V02eyDK3V4aTNUaXtolzbI5QTKuRNo1X9K6KFkgeS2Rg6zSev7V6vl75iU2eO6j7v8HaQhexsTmBij5_K9mRxIW3hFHKToNszlVkP5d5gknVNrV5wfuQ/s400/IMG_3618.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TOzunR9MC0nj1_4x3rBt-FfrEjKee-hUhMBFi6jhabuIY49yGieFpR3h_iHItQqC2-HtWk-vRCHqBd5ZkhcV7IIgB4FzHADlF9TOF7a6csMuRLeFjBHAbjMVp01khaWeKrG7BoV65aTj/s1600-h/IMG_3619B.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366009303958336882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TOzunR9MC0nj1_4x3rBt-FfrEjKee-hUhMBFi6jhabuIY49yGieFpR3h_iHItQqC2-HtWk-vRCHqBd5ZkhcV7IIgB4FzHADlF9TOF7a6csMuRLeFjBHAbjMVp01khaWeKrG7BoV65aTj/s400/IMG_3619B.JPG" /></a>Happy Birthday, Zan!!!

I love beach images. This card uses the shells from Seaside. To make each shell, I stamped them with Sahara Sand onto soft colors. After cutting out the shells, they are arranged and popped up on dimensionals. The sand in the background was made with the splatter stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4tdBfTTdh36ekpZBgpuDennEm-KuwnGSCkeMQhNHApSiy8gJrEf1gR5N5kST1R9UGmq8HfrCgGIM6s33XCf2E5eVH5eEAfbPNmXta25_NLNcxVSCZyrV1f0GloPPWsGWuIMobZBwy-yg/s1600-h/Retirement+Class003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362533397220293474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4tdBfTTdh36ekpZBgpuDennEm-KuwnGSCkeMQhNHApSiy8gJrEf1gR5N5kST1R9UGmq8HfrCgGIM6s33XCf2E5eVH5eEAfbPNmXta25_NLNcxVSCZyrV1f0GloPPWsGWuIMobZBwy-yg/s400/Retirement+Class003.JPG" /></a><strong> {Warm Wishes}</strong><br /><em><strong>Stamps</strong>: Seaside, Hugs and Wishes</em><br /><em><strong>Ink</strong>: Sahara Sand, Basic Black</em><br /><em><strong>Paper</strong>: PTI White, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Soft Sky, Blush Blossom, Sahara Sand</em><br /><em><strong>Accessories</strong>: twine</em>Kim Gasperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988715291652084278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186865478224323608.post-68896847215319156972009-07-29T05:00:00.000-07:002009-07-29T05:00:03.639-07:00Retirement SAS #2I think there was a sketch challenge of some sort with this layout because I saw several cards on Splitcoast with this layout when I was browsing through the Wild About You category.

This was one of the cards we made for June Stamp Club. I cased <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/963852?cat=12516">this card</a> on SCS moving things around just a bit. A stamp club member, Sharon, was very clever and thought of the idea to add these little rhinestones to the stars. I think it really adds to the card. So, I did what any respectable stamper would do. I copied her.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRk90PFRMMV-e6oB-UOqaVMLdzUmzsv5uG0Y080Lgp7IBcC7U_smCfteLUBAbh3e1JQ4JGLTXjVZT5x-o1t08xYPZbB-eBhWnbFjP0sJZN3a52moKCuefLuqdGxKxkAx3T98y9sml0aj2D/s1600-h/IMG_3599.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358752646103358306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRk90PFRMMV-e6oB-UOqaVMLdzUmzsv5uG0Y080Lgp7IBcC7U_smCfteLUBAbh3e1JQ4JGLTXjVZT5x-o1t08xYPZbB-eBhWnbFjP0sJZN3a52moKCuefLuqdGxKxkAx3T98y9sml0aj2D/s400/IMG_3599.JPG" /></a><strong> {Happy Fourth}</strong><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Stamps</strong>: Independence Day</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Ink</strong>: Craft White, Real Red, Brilliant Blue</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Paper</strong>: Whisper White, Real Red, Brilliant Blue</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Accessories</strong>: circle punches, self-stick rhinestones, cuttlebug folder - dots, sizzix machine</span></em>Kim Gasperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988715291652084278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186865478224323608.post-32681318814217052802009-07-15T10:53:00.000-07:002009-07-15T11:13:35.553-07:00Belated First Father's DayHello, friends! It's been awhile since I've posted, and that's because I've been enjoying spending summer time with hubs and baby AND I've been stamping! Yesterday, I photographed and uploaded 20 cards/projects to be able to share with you.<br /><br />To celebrate Keith's first Father's Day, I made him a card and a canvas. Here's the card. I really like how it turned out. Super simple and masculine. I realized that I NEVER make masculine cards...ever. My poor stampers. I'll have to make a point to at least make a few a year.<br /><br />The BEST thing about this card (besides the fact that it signifies we are finally parents) is that it scored me a Big Byte (you know...the Crop-O-Dile's cousin). That's right. This is actually a $50 kind of card. I couldn't help it if my Crop-O-Dile just wouldn't reach in far enough to set those inner jumbo eyelets. And, of course, by then the whole card was finished except for those. So, it had to be done.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7O8fhjaI3uxNYwy_Mvo8vXw7VJt5ACrvoPyaJR-x0Zp1XYWqH6zH1EWUUVYZ4zzK9ZejjHzZFv4xQ_WD-tyEHTT3U-eToXviqNEain47eV89tl1FjvuIhXJLD-NQC6Gyezl01RBuRIiAT/s1600-h/IMG_3601.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358748409481091186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7O8fhjaI3uxNYwy_Mvo8vXw7VJt5ACrvoPyaJR-x0Zp1XYWqH6zH1EWUUVYZ4zzK9ZejjHzZFv4xQ_WD-tyEHTT3U-eToXviqNEain47eV89tl1FjvuIhXJLD-NQC6Gyezl01RBuRIiAT/s400/IMG_3601.JPG" /></a>Confession...I did write on the inside before I photographed the card.

I just love the way she's looking up at him. All I did to make the canvas was paint it cream colored and slap on the photo and these pre-made vinyl words.

I really like this one. I don't do many wedding themed cards. I don't know if you can tell, but the basic gray layer is stamped with the large flower stamp from the Ever After set. The chocolate strip is crimped. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhkR2Rttqbi5fEcJVZuqjXv0CNbf062lEkYAsK8KpSx-nOgjZdVcuHQ6k8B0fkzptMwdqagzg8MP2GpL6X8Mri59ayv4EUoX1OvqyqXptxzubMzgaeNBvrXxBjfOWKFgXcFrU-LStn4FiY/s1600-h/IMG_3468.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351007574979004818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhkR2Rttqbi5fEcJVZuqjXv0CNbf062lEkYAsK8KpSx-nOgjZdVcuHQ6k8B0fkzptMwdqagzg8MP2GpL6X8Mri59ayv4EUoX1OvqyqXptxzubMzgaeNBvrXxBjfOWKFgXcFrU-LStn4FiY/s400/IMG_3468.JPG" /></a><strong>{Happily Ever After}</strong><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Stamps</strong>: Ever After</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Ink</strong>: Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Going Gray</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Paper</strong>: Going Gray, Basic Gray, Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Whisper White</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Accessories</strong>: circle punches (1 1/4" and 1 3/8"), ticket corner punch, white organza ribbon</span></em><br /><br />I want to say thanks to Linda for creating the club cards for May. I really appreciated it. I was still so tired then, I couldn't have pulled off a stamp club without her. I am happy to say that little Miss Kate has been sleeping 6-7 hours a night lately. And you know what that means...I'm stamping again (well, whenever I can sneak a moment).

Kate has been consistently sleeping about six hours a night for the last week and a half. Life is good!!! She's 10 weeks old today. This picture of her was taken for <a href="http://facesofbellingham.wordpress.com/">Faces of Bellingham</a> about a week or so ago. So cute! Her eyes are actually still blue, but you can't tell in the picture. Everyone (except my mom) says she looks like her daddy. </div><div></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348132610585118498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0iGYY4C6MT9pPM7tF8n4xiB_5vlT5cLAlA3KM95RY9IRu0waAHFEzQ6G5HwddCfjt20EnUtl-BQRzNUKyD1nW92NXt-dMvoPGX20ysrsAbQfA5yy3-eV8vwBcyHTQHP353nC26QuA_9Ch/s400/KateFoB.bmp" /></div>Kim Gasperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988715291652084278noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186865478224323608.post-5877054472039358692009-06-14T01:02:00.000-07:002009-06-14T01:08:14.914-07:00Shoebox Swap Cards by KathyJust a quick post to share these swap cards were made by another gal in one of my clubs for our April meeting.

I do have one club that meets monthly though, so we scheduled it for the very end of April and members made shoebox swaps. Only two gals came, but we had a lot of fun. This first card was designed by Terri J. I love the color combination she used and the way the stars just pop off the card. The DSP is an old retired SU! one, I think from back in the day before they were double-sided. The stamp set is also a retired SU! one that coordinated with the large star punch. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQcgGrOJL_Rn9MjHb8BQyun8xZAFD8fvBh_oou2OqlwXeh3qNbbMIzI1dvx6y4h4MKPIbEHXDB3nvtHHKCqVk9eNB_psc3QAwBHNpHwLayL6_vGl4yLws8hGSOSnqQ6OSmbBXQTCdZjN6B/s1600-h/IMG_3469.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345839278795999730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQcgGrOJL_Rn9MjHb8BQyun8xZAFD8fvBh_oou2OqlwXeh3qNbbMIzI1dvx6y4h4MKPIbEHXDB3nvtHHKCqVk9eNB_psc3QAwBHNpHwLayL6_vGl4yLws8hGSOSnqQ6OSmbBXQTCdZjN6B/s400/IMG_3469.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Kim Gasperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988715291652084278noreply@blogger.com1
