July Hostess Club

Hi Everyone!  Here are the creations from the July Hostess Club featuring True Love Workshop. 

This the hostess Club layout using the Floral thin cuts.  It's a very simple layout, and the flowers added a bunch of fun!  The words Enjoy Life are cut using the Alphabet thin cuts.

The first layout was inspired by Lynn Como.  It's great that this kit that was designed to be a wedding kit, is easily adapted for other purposes.  This layout celebrates friendship!!

Another layout inspired by Lynn Como!!  This is one of my favorite layout!!  I love the stamped sentiment and also the letters for family were cut out using the letters thin cuts.  Lovely layout!!

Here's yet another layout inspired by Lynn Como.  This would be a great page for a sweet little girl. This uses lots of cut outs from the bonus page!  

This layout was inspired by Jaime Llewellyn and was a quick layout.  It used a few things from the cut out paper and the sweet hint of green is a zip strip!  

Join us for another hostess club! Usually on the second Tuesday of the month!

June Shoebox Cards

Oops... Here are the June Shoebox Card Collections!!

This card was so much fun!!  It's a tent card and uses washi tape on the side.  The dandelion was stamped in Pebble ink on a 3x5.5 cardstock and lagoon strips were added to the sides, ribbon was added and then mounted to the card.  Make a wish was embossed on the lagoon with a pearl silver.  A lagoon button in the center of the dandelion makes the image pop.  This card was inspired by CTMH.

Anita Whitson's card feature two stamp roses and leaves.  She taught us how to stamp in a lighter color with the more solid image... or to stamp off on scrap paper then stamp the detailed image in full strength.  There were lots of lovely layers in this card.  The ribbon needed to be added before adhering the dark pink layer.  It's lovely birthday card!!

Beth Barber shared this sweet card!!  It says you are the sweetest and the jar has a lid with a pretty red and white twine wrapped around it.  This was a quick cute and clean card!  

Beth had two cards this month!!  Love this monochromatic balloon card with the perfect sentiment!  Just a note to lift your spirits.  The embossed background of clouds is the perfect backdrop for the Hot Air Balloons!  Adding the little bit of ribbon makes this such a lovely card!!

Melani shared a new technique tonight... using scraps of paper to add dimension to the background.  Often we have odd shaped scraps and bits... by adding them at different angles, it's a great way to use up scraps and add an interesting background.  What a fun card!!

Shannon's sweet card features a frog image, double layered for impact.  Also there are cut little flies stamped in green on the green background image.  The sentiment is Have a toad you lately... We also added glitter stickles to the cat tail!  What a great card!!

Thanks to all the gals for sharing their creativity and time!  It's a joy to spend time making cards with you!  Can't wait to see you next month!!
