RHSSC #14

Here is this weeks Red Hot Stampers Sketch Challenge...


And this is my take on it...

I decided to go with a 3x3 card for this challenge as I am always
looking for ideas for small Thank you notes to add to the ladies orders.
I REALLY appreciate all the ladies who come each month and for
those to place an order I slip in a small thank you note.

INK: Real Red, Garden Green
Punches: 1 1/4" Circle, Scallop Circle

September Stamp A Stack Part 1

This month my Stamp A Stack Classes got stretched out more than usual due to me changing the Thursday class date so I could go see Ballet Magnificat at our church.
By the way - it was magnificent!!
They performed "The Hiding Place" the story of Corey ten Boom.
I was privileged to help out at their product table and met many wonderful fans of the Ballet. One lady came up and introduced herself and told us that she had lived with Corey ten Boom in one of the concentration camps all those many years ago.
This lady also spoke at our church a couple years ago giving her testimony of God's faithfulness through trial. But to have her speak to us at the table with her copy of
Corey's book in her hand really struck a tender cord in my heart.
You can tell she keeps it with her all the time as the cover and pages were very "well loved."

Well, on to a couple cards that we made this month...

Bird Punch Poinsettia

I saw how this poinsettia was made using the XL Two Step Bird Punch on the Stampin’ Connection by Debra Brown so wanted to give it a try. It was quick and easy, but now I had to come up with a use for it, right? I immediately think of a card…

If you could only see this up close you could appreciate all the Champagne Shimmer Paint I added to the flower and to the Whisper White Card Stock. It really shines!!

THEN I started thinking CRAFT SALES and how I could incorporate the beautiful bird punch poinsettia.

The top one is made from a recycled Starbucks Iced Coffee jar and the second one is made from a recycled Mandarin Orange can with a “pop top.” When I open the can I use a can opener that cuts from the outside leaving no sharp edges, therefore I can clean it, fill it from the bottom, and reseal it with Crystal Effects. Then the recipient can “pop” the original top to get to his/her treat. I’m sure I will play around with this idea a bit more and see what other ideas or embellishments I can make to them.

CARD:
SS: A Cardinal Christmas
