August Stamp Class

I don't usually like to use "photo" type prints in cardmaking, but I have to say that the Serene Scenery Stack has really won me over!  You'll see that I've used it in various ways for each of the cards this month, and really like the look.  I can imagine even more beautiful yet simple cards to be made, especially in multiples if you wish, so be sure add this paper to your shopping list!

For the top two cards, I've chosen two of my favorite scenes.  The left is the "beach", embellished with added stamping off-the-paper and rich embossing texture.  The right is a slider card, made so easy with the new Sliding Star framelit bundle.  This set also includes a circle slider die for even more creative possibilities.

The lower left card still uses a paper design from the Stack but it's the reverse, a fantastic "hamburger bun"!  With the added fries, I thought this was the perfect summer card, whether to invite some friends over for a barbeque or simply wish them a happy and juicy birthday celebration!
The lower right card is -- unfinished for now: "to be designed".  I delayed ordering the beautiful Thoughtful Branches" bundle so that I could include the upcoming Holiday Mini catalogs to arrive in time to give during the next class. It should all come in a few days, and I'll post the final card when it's completed.  I've seen some great ideas for this limited-availability set, so be sure to check back soon!
