Hostess Club

Tomorrow evening is my monthly Hostess Club!  This club go-around meets on one Thursday a month at 7 pm and we create one project for the gals to take home.  This is always a fun-filled evening and tomorrow night will be no different!  Look for information below on how to join my next hostess club starting in July 2009!

At our regional event in Seattle last Saturday we received a stamp set “Best Wishes & More”.  I have fallen in love with the versatility of this stamp set retailed at 26.95 on page 55 of the current catalog.  The sayings included in this 9 piece stamp set are * “ready, set, snow!” * “Wishing you all this… and more”  * “couldn’t do without you” & * “laughter joy happiness bliss delight”.   I used this stamp set for the following two projects which we will be doing at our April Hostess Club.

The first project is a magnet and uses Green Galore cardstock, Perfect Plum Classic Stampin’ Pad & In Colors Tangerine Tango Classic Stampin’ Pad.  I attached the flowers with dimensions (using 2 stacked on each other to raise the Tangerine Tango flower higher than the outside ones).  I also attached magnets to the back of it and rounded the corners with my punch.  I think that my Mom will love this simple yet handmade gift for Mother’s Day.  Shhh don’t tell her!

 

The card that we are making could also be used for Mother’s day which is right around the corner.  I stared with Perfect Plum for the cardstock, added Urban Oasis DSP and punched with my Scallop Edge punch.  I then used whisper White Cardstock and stamped the heart stamp from the “Best Wishes & More” set in Perfect Plum, adhere this after distressing the edges to choc. chip cardstock and add a simple saying.  You could add buttons or brads or even a strip of ribbon if you would like but I like the simplicity of this card.
