I had so much fun creating the projects for this month's stamp club meeting! We made a Push/Pull or Double Slider Card and a cute matchbox with chocolate nuggets inside!
The directions for the card are
here. I stamped the leaves onto the DSP to add some more color. Then I ran some Walk in the Park DSP and some baja breeze through the Sizzix with the new exclusive Stampin' Up! Butterflies die. I put the smaller butterfly through the Sizzix again with the dotted texture plate and added three dots of glitter glue that I made by mixing crystal effects with dazzling diamonds glitter.
Here is what the card looks like with the sliders pulled out. Everyone loved sliding them in and out, in and out!
For the little matchbox, I ran some more Walk in the Park DSP and some of the medium weight window sheets through the Sizzix with the Matchbox die. Then, we stamped the Polka Dot background with some white staz-on on the window sheet and wrapped some of the beautiful Whisper White Organza Ribbon around it. We added "celebrate" from the Matchbox Messages stamp set layered with some baja breeze that I also ran through the Matchbox die. Finally, we wrapped the chocolate nuggets with the Walk in the Park DSP and placed them in the box!

Here is another card from the catalog using crushed curry, soft suede and melon mambo. I scalloped the crushed curry and then tore some very vanilla across the top and placed it on the crushed curry. I used Matchbox Messages to frame the flower from It's Time to Bloom and added a little certainly celery medallion with a dimensional.
I still can't get away from this beautiful Cottage Wall DSP. I loved this card by Mary, so I tweaked it a little to make it my own. I used the "plate" (doesn't it look like a fancy plate?) stamp from the Gallery stamp set and punched out the sentiment from Matchbox Messages stamp set to place in the middle. I stamped the butterfly on the Cottage Wall DSP and then punched it out with the butterfly punch (love it!). I loved Mary's idea of stamping a flower, then punching it out with the 1/2" circle punch and placing it on our new large brads.

I'm lovin' the new Basic Gray color. Ok, it's not that new, but I had been putting off getting it for a while until I saw someone use it instead of Basic Black and I really liked what I saw! The layout of this card was inspired by Mary. I really liked the clean crisp monochromatic look of the card.
