Judy's June Stamp Camp

Judy makes a lot of cards with a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 color cardstock base and then adds a smaller neutral color card to that base. And she taught us a new way to make background using rubber bands. Fun!
Here's the cards from the morning at Judy's...

KUDOS!

Another Pinterest find. I pulled some diagonal Designer Series Paper and a retired alphabet set and this card went together really quickly. Just stamp the letters and then punch out using the Banner punch. I adhered them to the card using dimensionals. The little grad hat was stamped using the April Paper Pumpkin kit and then fussy cut.and added to the last banner with a glue dot. It's just layereing after that. Quick and easy!

Paper Options

This week I decided to concentrate on the many special papers available from Stampin' Up! This card uses the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Paper. It is paper that has embossed images on it. In this case, the white flowers. So, all you have to do is add some color to the paper and then wipe the ink off the white embossed flowers. I used sponges to add the Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Rose Red color. SU! offers these papers every so often. Of course, you can make your own by stamping any image with VersaMark ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.
This card also uses a little piece of gold foil for the banner. See another card using silver foil tomorrow.

The Scraps on the Table

These two cards were made using the card stock and DSP scraps on my table. The top card was made just using those scraps. The bottom card used scraps plus some gold foil card sheet for the star. And I did some paper piercing on it. I saw a card with similar layout on Pinterest but came up with the paper piercing idea. I used the oval paper piercing template to make the streaks.

Celebrate!

I needed one more graduation card... at least I think I have them all covered now. So, a few more scraps of Designer Series paper and the same layout I used with a cupcake last week. I wasn't pleased with just the plain star of card stock, so I ran it through my Big Shot with the herringbone embossing folder.
