March Club Projects

What a busy week! Here are the projects we made in this month's Club. I love my Club girls, they aren't customers to me, they're great friends, which is why I love my job! Thanks for making it another great run, girls!

Hard to get everything in focus, so I took 2 pics!!!

Easter Colour Challenge

Today's colours for the Splitcoast challenge are Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Poppy Parade. Perfect for Easter. This is my watercoloured card. I used the Large Scallop Circle for my card, along with watercolour paper, blender pens and SU Markers for the colouring. Easy peasy!

Recipe
Stamps : Teeny Tiny Wishes, Everybunny
Ink : Stazon Black
Cardstock : Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight
Accessories : Large Scallop Circle Die, Big Shot, Circle Scissor Plus, Blender Pens & SU Markers, Cupcake Punch (clouds), Dotted Embossing Folder

Scoring/Fold Challenge

The challenge today on Splitcoast is to make a card incorporating a scored fold. You could make those cute rosettes, or any scored 'back & forth' fold. I decided to pull out the new Bright Blossoms set (I'm loving it!) and pair it with the Domestic Goddess Paper. It's the perfect match after the really bright card I made previously with this set!

Look at this fold, it's amazing. And it's not my idea, LOL. I humbly apologise to whomever came up with this, I was blog browsing, scribbled down the score dimensions THOUGHT I'd bookmarked the page so I could give credit, but I didn't. I must have been hurrying. If it's YOUR brilliant idea, let me know so I can acknowledge you!

To replicate this amazing fold, you will need a 12" strip of cardstock (cut to whichever depth you prefer) and you will score at :
1/4"   1/2"   1 1/4"   1 1/2"
2"   2 1/4"
3"   3 1/4"    3 3/4"
4"   4 3/4"
5"   5 1/2"   5 3/4"
6 1/2"   6 3/4"
7 1/4"   7 1/2"
8 1/4"   8 1/2"
9"   9 1/4"
10"  10 1/4"  10 3/4"
11"  11 3/4"

I broke it down so your eyes won't bleed :) You'll have to follow the close-up pics to see how it folds.

Baby Boy

I needed a baby boy card for my cousin who had Oliver last month. I'm a little late, but I don't think she'll mind! This is an easy one, grabbed the chalks again ~ so it's Versamark & Chalk and then the sizzlit serif alpha die to make his name

Bright Blossoms

I'm on a roll today with all these blog posts. However, I HAD to ink up my new Summer Smooches stamp set called Bright Blossoms. How cute is this? So happy and perky and ... well, BRIGHT! Thought you might like to see what you'll be able to purchase on the 1st April. And no, that's not an April Fool!

NEW Petite Purse

Something FABULOUS that Stampin' Up are doing this year, is allow customers to PURCHASE a suite of products called Summer Smooches TWO MONTHS ahead of the new catalogue launch! Demonstrators were able to pre-order the product suite this month and my box arrived today. I got the DSP, stamp set and ribbon and this FABULOUS 'Petite Purse'. I literally just ran it through the big shot with the new DSP to see how easily it went together ... and had to share! I will make another one, taking more time and adding embellishments etc, but for now, here it is!
ETA: Cindy left a comment to ask if this was big enough to hold a card. Unfortunately not, it's teeny tiny. The base is 2 3/4" and the height (excluding handle) is 1 3/4".

Sketch & Thinking of You

Here's today's sketch over on Splitcoast. Nice and easy! I flipped it to make my card. I needed something for a dear friend who is having a really tough time right now. Just wanted her to know I've been thinking of her all day and want to make things better for her so badly!

I used the Occasions Mini Set "Send me Soaring". It's so fresh and pretty, I thought it would be perfect. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

Recipe
Stamps : Send Me Soaring, Petite Pairs
Ink : Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze
Cardstock : Twitterpated DSP, Calypso Coral, Shimmery White
Accessories : Edgelit, Big Shot, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Twine, 1/2 Crystals, Sponge, Tiny Trio Flower Punch
