This post is a little late, but I thought you would like to see the fun projects we did for club in April. I featured the fun Just Beachy set from the mini catalog and showed them how to do the cracked Glass technique. I love this technique it looks so cool and is actually really easy to do.I got this fun idea from Kelly. You can check out her blog here: http://stampinparadise.blogspot.com. I changed it a bit.
I thought if you are really different than maybe you would be a different color. I don’t know if you noticed it but this fish is the only one in the set that goes the other way. Here is a close up of the cracked glass.
Here is the scrapbook page that I came up with using the card as my inspiration. I love how simple it is, but it has just a fun summer feel. We colored the fish with the watercolor wonder crayons and a aqua painter.
This is the second card that my card group made. I totally cased it from a blog, I tried to find it again so I could tell you who, but I couldn’t. I changed the saying in the center, but the rest is basically like hers. I thought it was a really cute card. The size is actually 5×5 go go in our 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelops. The fish are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch and then sponged with the pacific point.
We stamped Happy Birthday from the $10.00 and under page on the inside. Of course we used Whisper White craft in so that it would show up.
Since I had also just got the Matchbox die of course we had to try that out as well. Here is our fun projects using the match box die and the designer series paper from the mini catalog Walk in the Park.

I think this baby card is just so cute. I wish I knew who created it. I received it in a swap. The wheel that was used is retired now but there is one similar that you could use to go with it that would give it the same effect. I love to use the wheels as a quick and easy background. Sometimes it can make all the difference in how a card looks.

Thrifty Thursday is all about cost efficiency. What I love about this card is it uses the products that come in the standard starter kit. Remember you can get started as a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator for three easy payments of $67.00. Click here for more details. The starter kit has over $335.00 worth of product in it for just $199.00.
I really like this card beacuse it’s simple and easy to change the 
colors. The flower can be stamped or you can create any color by stampin’ it in VersaMark® and then using the Stampin’ Pastels® to add color. I recommend using the sponge daubers for this technique because it is easy and fast but you can also use q-tips. I really love the Stampin’ Pastels because they give you all the 48 colors plus 3 neutral colors for less than $25.00. It’s really the best way to get all of our colors to start off with and they are so easy to use.
One of the other things I love about this card is it’s so easy to dress it up. Here I have stamped the back ground (sorry it’s hard to see) with the little flower in the set and then I also added some ribbon along the top. Any white ribbon is great to start with because it goes with pretty much everything plus you can dye it to match your colors. If you would like to learn how to use our great chalks or to dye ribbon I would love to come to your home and show you and your friends how. Just give me a call and we can set up a date 435-245-5321.
One last thing that I love about this card is the saying. It comes from fundamental phrases. This stamp set is so versital. I has many different sayings. You could make up a bunch of these cards in different colors without the saying and then just choose the appropriate saying when you need it. It’s so simple and easy. You don’t need to run to a store every time you need a quick card.
