Stamp class projects.
You just show up and have fun. Once you make the quilted card, you'll be looking for designer paper to cut up. What a reat way to use up scraps. I use glue sticks so you may prefer your own adhesive.
While I have 2 cards shown here for the faux quilted card, we are making the green on Concord Crush one.
Faux Quilted Card
Cardstock: Concord Crush with Pear Pizzaz layered on top.
2 pieces of Black cardstock 2.5 x 2.5" make up the backing to hold the square pieces. Designer paper, double sided, 1" square x 8.
Stamp Sets: Word Play, Vintage Vogue for the flower
Accessories: Buttons, glue dots, snips to cut out the flower.
Ink: Concord Crush.
Just another version of the same card.
"Cherry Blossoms" I struggled with which one I liked best.

About Me
- Joan Whitsett Lowder
- Midway, NC, United States
- I retired from Bali Bras, Sara Lee Intimates. Married in Oct 1976. I love meeting new people so hope to hear from you. Drop me a line. I've been doing crafts of all kinds since I was a kid. I loved making things and especially things that are recycled. I had never stamped until 2001 when I went to a stamp class while on vacation. We went to a local store to buy the stamps we had used. OUCH. When we got home I saw a Stampin Up catalog and realized how much money I could save with their stamps and best part as they are sets that go together which makes for easy card making. After doing some thinking I decided I should sign up as a demo and see what happens. I didn't know the first thing about stamping and still learning. Retired from Sara Lee Intimates in Feb 2001. I was in sales after many years, since age 18, as an office person, secretary, office assistant, etc. I am out of Stamping Up since Spring 2017 but still have lots of supplies!!!! These days I'm back to quilting and having a great time.

My Blog
May, 2009 when I started the blog and it's still a learning experience even in 2017.
If you are ever looking for a retired stamp set, ask me, I might have it and let it go.
As a follower you'll get emails when I post things which I tend to do in batches, once or twice a month once I get back on schedule.
Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all comments.
