In Color Summer Starfruit Card

Hi Stampers!

I'm here with a quick post today to show you the card that I have included with my September In Color Club packets.  I always like to make something monochromatic, and here's what I came up with for this month!  I like the non-traditional size of this card.  I think the size suits the layout and the stamp set.

Here's a close up of the bow.  I used the "fork" technique to make the bow.  This is a technique that my upline taught me.  Obviously, I still need some practice, however, the bow shape is very cute.


Stampin' Supplies:
Cardstock: Summer Starfruit, Whisper White
Stamps: Carry On (hostess)
Ink: Summer Starfruit
Other: Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon

Only 3 days left for you to get FREE RIBBON!!!!

Wow!  It's Sunday and we are already up to day 3 of my Embellished Events class samples.  I love looking back at these projects!  It's a nice change up in creativity since I'm busy preparing for the Friendship Preserves class.  Today's card is a great one for the holidays!  It may look like there are a lot of pieces, but this card comes together so quickly that it's easy to reproduce.  I love using Sharpies to color my Basic Rhinestones.  It allows me to have any color I want but I only have to buy one pack!

Embellished Events Day 2

HELLO!!!

It's day 2 of my Embellished Events card class.  I am always inspired by cards I see posted by other demos.  Today's card is a case of one originally done by Mary Fish.  I changed up the colors and embellishments to make it my own.  I love using the Pool Party card stock on this one.  It's the perfect shade of "Tiffany" blue and is great for something blue on a wedding card.  Sahara Sand is such a perfect champagne color and I really need to use it more often!



Here's a close up of the new ribbon slides in the Holiday catalog.  They are a really fun embellishment for your cards and projects!


Stampin' Supplies:
5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 4 3/4" x 3 1/2", and scrap of Whisper White card stock
5" x 3 3/4" and 1" x 3" Pool Party Cardstock
7" Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon
Designer Ribbon Slide
Sahara Sand and StazOn Black stamp pads
Basic Rhinestones
Bitty Banners Framelits
Champagne flute and "Congratulations" stamps from Embellished Events
Adhesive, Dimensionals, and Scissors
Whisper White A2 envelope

Button Buddies Day 3

Hi Stampers!  Welcome to day 3 of my Button Buddies class samples.  It was a busy weekend so I didn't get as much accomplished in the way of setting up blog posts.  Hopefully, I will have some time this week because I want to post some sneak peeks at the upcoming Chock-Full of Cheer class!  If you are in the Central NJ area and are interested in taking this class, email me at sarah@demmeni.org.

And now on to the card!

I went for a very simple layout on this one because we are using three pretty big buttons on it.  I'm not sure it this one can be mailed with a regular postage stamp.  You may have to put a $0.65 stamp on it.  Or just visit the person and hand it directly to them!

Stampin' Supplies:


·       5 ½” x 8 1/2” and 1 5/8” x 1 5/8” (3) Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
·       1 3/8” x 1 3/8” (3) Whisper White Cardstock
·       3” x 5 ¼” Old Olive Designer Series Paper
·       Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers
·       Versamark
·       Heat tool
·       3 Pumpkin Pie Designer Buttons
·       Pumpkin stamp from Button Buddies
·       Happy Halloween stamp from Seasonal Sayings
·       Pinking Hearts Edge Border Punch (retired!  Substitute in the Finishing Touches Edgelit)
·       Early Espresso Embossing Powder
·       Adhesive, Glue Dots
·       Whisper White A2 envelope
