Yesterday,  I held a card making class at the Sheppard AFB community center, better known as "The Commons".  Today I am sharing the cards the ladies made using the bonus stamp set from the Stampin' Up!! April Paper Pumpkin kit.  I cased the card design from Cherry Bruns on the FB Paper Pumpkin group page.  I love how they all turned out.

DOstampers STARS Thursday Challenge #176 - A Grateful Bunch


Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a  "Home Sweet Home" challenge.  Don't forget to scroll down and visit the other Stars creations. 



 

I chose to go with the blue and white elements for cards.  I really love the little butterfly in the Grateful Bunch set and it looks great on this card.  The butterfly bodies have just a touch of glitter from my Wink of Stella marker.  I used my last bit of Not Quite Navy card stock for this card -- miss that color.  I really enjoyed using the glitter tape that was offer in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, hopefully Stampin' Up will bring it back, it is a terrific product.

    I can't believe we're coming to end of 2016 Sale-A-Bration.  Thursday, 31 March, is your last chance to get a free Sale-A-Bration item for every $50 you spend.   One of my favorite stamp sets from Sale-A-Bration has to be "What I Love".  I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches weekly challenge using the "What I Love Stamp set and the Metallic Glitter tape (both in Sale-A-Bration catalog).  I colored the  clear glitter tape with melon Mambo ink using a sponge and backed up the stamped images with scraps of Melon Mambo card stock.  Overall sweet card !
