A Striped Scallop Day

Today was one of my monthly stamp camp classes.  I had made a "diaper fold pouch" and filled it with teabags for each person.  One of these was at each person's place at the table. I used the Tea Party Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! to decorate the front of it.

In class today, we made a card below using the Striped Scallop Thinlit (for the Big Shot).

Besides the Striped Scallop Thinlit, I also used:

• Beautiful Bunch Stamp Set
• Fun Flower Punch
• And Many More Stamp Set

Ryn is one of the regulars in the class.  She decided to experiment and add a splash of color to the Striped Scallop.  She also curved her flower petals out; I had curved my flower petals down.  I love how her card turned out:

One more card I made using the Striped Scallop thinlit is below.  I used Bermuda Bay colored cardstock for the base of the card and cut the striped scallop using Coastal Cabana cardstock.  The feather stamp is from the A Happy Horray Stamp Set.

I've become intrigued with all the possible uses of the Striped Scallop thinlit.  It's my new favorite item in the new catalog -- at least until I turn the page and something else catches my eye.

Two Cards

My college roommate's mother celebrated her 90th birthday, so I made the card below for her.  The card is in white, black, and gold.  The flowers were made using the Petite Petals punch and the pansy punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (available June 2, 2014).  A black Candy Dot in the center of the flowers finished them off nicely.

The card below is a teabag holder card I made for a friend.  I met Diana when our husbands were in navigator training school in the Air Force back in 1981.  Once the card is untied, there is an envelope (made with the envelope punch board) that holds a tea bag.  She'll love the card.  Her birthday is in July, so I haven't mailed this one yet.  By the way, the blue designs above and below the bow are just two sections of the soon-to-be retired (retires June 1) Delicate Details Lace Tape.  I colored the lacy circles with the new Stampin' Blendabilities markers.  These new markers are alcohol ink markers made for blending and shading, but they also color those hard-to-color items like rhinestones and the lace tape.  I used the Tea Party stamp set.

I have a few more cards to make this week, and then I must start planning my upcoming classes.  I love every minute of planning the cards and teaching the classes.
