Here it is the last day of this month's hop.  Today's set is one of the "Selections" series of stamps -- this month's set is called Tree Scene Selections.  These stamps help you create scenery on your cards; however, I didn't use them that way.  I made a Father's Day "card" or actually a Father's Day One-Sheet ATC Book, using images from today's set and sentiments from various other MFP Stamp Shop sets.

Today's set, Pots and Vases, might be my favorite this month -- and for that reason I have several cards to show you.  The first one is a new card using the tall vase and an image from another MFP Stamp Shop set, Coneflowers.



The next two cards I've already uploaded to Splitcoaststampers for two of their challenges earlier this month -- one uses one of the clay pots and the other uses this same tall vase.

CCEE1522 Piercing, Piecing and More

For her last week as hostess of the CCEE Stampers challenge, Joanne gave us four requirements for our cards:  heat embossing, paper piercing, paper piecing, and a frame.  Here's my card:


I think I covered all Joanne's requirements:

* The large camellia and the sentiment are both heat-embossed.
* The oval is pierced.
* The pink camellia is pieced.
* The pink DP was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then the oval was die-cut out of the center, forming the frame.

Go over the CCEE Stampers blog to see how the rest of the team handled Joanne's challenge.

My card using today's set, Tree Scene, is a stand-up card, using a die from Sizzix.  I stamped the image twice, coloring one fully and just the tall tree (which I envision as a blue spruce) a second time.  I cut it out and popped it in place on the full image.

CCEE1521 - Fabric and Corrugated Paper

This week Joanne asked the CCEE Stampers to use fabric and corrugated paper on our cards/projects. The fabric was to be something other than ribbon.  I hope my piece of burlap will count as fabric.  I used a crimper to create my corrugated paper.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see what the rest of team created for Joanne.
