I have a great collection of cards to show off today. Several of my club members brought cards they have made recently to share with club on Sunday and class yesterday, and they gave me permission to share them on my blog.
From Sunday night, Carol brought these cards that she has been working on for Valentine’s Day…
These cards use the “Stacked with Love” designer paper stack.
These use an assortment of current and retired products – each so creative! Wish I had a better picture of the one with the Crumb Cake mat. You don’t think of brown when you think of Valentine’s Day, but that combination of Crumb Cake and Basic Black is really striking for a masculine card.
Martha brought these to share in class yesterday…
The step card is a great way to show off a couple patterns of designer paper, and its also great way to use several images from a stamp set. These cards use the Sale-a-bration set “Big Day” and the Sale-a-bration designer paper “Best Year Ever”.

This is another creative color choice – my picture does not show it well, but the yellow is So Saffron, and the background is Coastal Cabana. This is a really great combination, so nice because it is different from the nautical colors that you typically see with “Open Sea”. My picture doesn’t do it justice.
I also have a group that Mary Jane brought to class yesterday…
The bright colors are so fun! These cards also use “Big Day”.
Love this simple design with brights, too – the designer paper is from “Painted Blooms”. The stamp set is retired – “Spring Sampler”.
These are so pretty with our new “Something Lacy” background stamp and “For the New Two” wedding set. The colors are Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, and Sahara Sand – each so striking.
Here’s a little closer view of the Smoky Slate – I think this color grabbed me because I haven’t used it yet with this set.
Here is a similar card made as a birthday card – a good reminder that you don’t have to use the stamps for the occasion suggested by our catalog.
I really love the fresh ideas for design and color in these cards. I hope you enjoyed them – a big thank you to Carol, Martha and Mary Jane for sharing!
