Rose Hill Grange stamp cards/kits - June 2021

We are continuing to offer pre-made cards or kits to our crafters from the Rose Hill Grange stamp camp. This camp will continue to be virtual for the foreseeable future and we have now opened it up as a crafting camp using supplies from all over the crafting world. It's a really fun activity for everyone! Here is my card for this month's camp:

I have long been a fan of Bugaboo digital stamps. This guy is named Gus and I just love him. The background is from Technique Junkies May release and is called Crosshatch Scratches.  The sentiments and inside are computer generated. The card base and background pieces use Misty Moonlight from SU.

Here is the information for this month's camp:

Stamp Camp North - June 2021

Our theme this month is Guys and Dolls - masculine and feminine cards! Here is my project for this month:

Mine will be one in the masculine category and I chose to use some retired plaids and a die cut from a retired set. The Crumb Cake background is embossed using the Painted Texture embossing folder. The card base is Cherry Cobbler and the backing for the dsp strips is Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. The gears were cut out of Gold Foil. The sentiment and card inside are computer generated.

Here's the information for this camp:

This month's projects will all feature fun folds! Here is my project for this month:

I used one of the new stamp sets in the Annual Catalog called Flowers of Friendship and the accompanying punch and also some of the new dsp from the Hand-Penned pack. Sure hope the gals like it!

Playing with Vellum + Blends + Alcohol - Part II

I continue to have a great time playing with my SU Blends on Vellum and adding some alcohol. This is such a fun technique! Here are some cards awaiting sentiments that I made using this technique:

I used a die from a new die set called Artistic from Stampin' Up! cut out of gold foil paper and mounted on the pieces of vellum I created. Such great fun it was to create these. The Blends match up perfectly with the colored card stock from Stampin' Up! Here I have used (top to bottom): Polished Pink with Fresh Freesia; Bumblebee with Granny Apple Green; and Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. I am really loving the new in-colors and I really didn't think I would - happens every year! I will add sentiments and insides as I need them. Good to have a stash!

Demo Swap - New SU Annual Catalog

My good friend the talented Cathy Hansen organizes a demonstrator swap each time a new catalog comes out from Stampin' Up! These are always great fun and you end up with gorgeous samples of new stamps, dies, papers, etc. that premier in the new catalog. Here is my swap for this year's new Annual Catalog:

This card uses some of the new stamps from Hand-Penned Petals and Encircled in Friendship, a new dsp called Hand-Penned, a new die from the Encircled in Beauty die set and one of the new in-colors - Pale Papaya. I also used the new in-color blends Pale Papaya dark and light and the Pale Papaya marker. I also used Mint Macaron card stock and the Mint Macaron dark and light blends and marker. It also uses the new Genial Gems. All of it is created using a card blank in Thick Basic White. 

I am having a lot of fun creating with items from the new Annual Catalog. I'll have some more samples to show you in the coming days so be sure to come back and visit.

DH is preparing to head east for his summer sailing session. This year he hopes to take one of our grandsons with him. Our grandson will need to come back a bit early in order to start school, but DH should be home sometime in September.
