August Club Projects

Here are 2 of the projects I came up with for this month's Club meetings. This top one is a variation on the 'Joy Fold' card using the new ribbon slide and ornament keepsake stamp set. The DSP is from a paper stack measuring 4 1/2 x 6 1/2" called 'Festival of Prints'. Love this pretty pack of useful DSP :)



I saw this blog post by Cindy and thought the card was so unique. My only problem was that the measurements were for a 12x12 piece of cardstock and I didn't have the colour I wanted in that size. So I sat down and figured out a different version using my 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.
For mine, you cut the cardstock at 5 1/2 x 11" and along the 11" edge, you score at 1 3/4"  3 1/2"  6 1/4" and 8". You'll cut DSP in 3 sizes, 1 1/2" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" and 2 3/4" x 5 1/4". For the plain areas, you'll cut 2 pieces at 5 1/4" x 1 1/2". The belly band was 8 1/2" x 1 1/2".
Stamp sets used for these 2 projects were Keepsake Ornaments and Friendship Preserves. The Christmas card used Limeade and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the Thanks card used Island Indigo and Orchard Harvest DSP.
