Magnetic Bookmarks

Our Papercrafting group met on Wednesday.  This month's project was magnetic bookmarks.  These are the projects that we worked on.

Simple stamping and embossing with the Bigshot are favorite techniques.

When the bookmark is removed, There is still a lovely card to enjoy.

There are magnetic strips to hold the book on the page.

Spring Colors

The Paper Players have a color challenge this week.  These are the colors we are to use....

Don't they look like Spring?

Remember my problems with the One Layer Script card a few days ago?  The design was OK on one of the discards so I cut it off and used it on this card.  The little butterfly is also from the Charming set and looks so happy sitting on the sentiment piece.

I liked these colors so well that I did another card too.

My friend Peggy lent me this cute bunny stamp and I thought he would look very handsome in Crumb Cake.  I used the same colors for the flowers and stamped after masking Mr. Bunny. The grass was in my scrap bag and the scalloped piece the design is on was also a discard.

I used the Itty Bitty Shapes punch for the flowers and dressed it up with some Pool Party seam binding from the Occasions Mini catalog.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Scripting

Is that a word? Scripting.  Spell check thinks it is.  The Less is More challenge this week is to use

SCRIPT

on a one layer card

Here's the first one I did.

Well, it's not actually the first one.  Or even the third one.  You wouldn't believe the trouble I had doing a card for this challenge!  First I stamped the sentiment crooked.  On a one layer card, that's it.  It becomes trash. On the second try, not only did I stamp the sentiment crooked, but I smudged it too. On the third try, I had the script all wonky.  Note to self.  When using a Stamp-a-majig, be sure to restamp on the plastic thingy when the stamp has been removed from the clear block and replaced.  LOL, I can't believe I did that when I had been warning people about doing the same thing during a class the day before!

I gave up on that design.  Actually, I was able to save the design from the first card and  you'll see it on another card later this week.  It's not a one layer card anymore.

So, on this card, I just stamped the script once and the flower overlapping.  Then I used my Stamp-a-majig to draw the lines around the script.  It works really well to draw straight lines.

I really wasn't happy with this card so did another and I think I like this one better.

The leaves are starting to pop out on the trees around here, so I stamped these leaves from the French Foliage set in Certainly Celery, masked them and stamped the script in Crumb Cake.  I scored a couple of lines above and below the design and inked just the sentiment on one of the Perfect Punch stamps with Marina Mist to brighten it up a bit.

When I was driving down the Interstate on Saturday I saw a whole field of blue.  I'm not sure what the flowers were, but it looked like a blue carpet and the contrast with the Spring green was lovely.

I usually like to do one layer cards, but this week I really struggled.  Next week that's probably all I'll want to do.
