Michelle's American Ink swaps...

Michelle brought two swaps to our downline gathering. The first uses Crushed Curry textured card stock and satin ribbon. It features the single Fine Flourish stamp (from the Occasions Mini) with a sentiment from the Level 3 hostess set Kind & Caring Thoughts.

The second swap uses the Top Note die and Polka Dot embossing folder for the Big Shot, as well as the Big Flower punch.

A flower from Petal Pizzazz was stamped before being punched out.

Make & takes...

Our American Ink group meetings are serious business - lots of stamping, chatting, swapping, eating... you get the idea. We have FUN! If you want to meet a great bunch of women and get together once a month, contact me at ericandterry@comcast.net. I'll hook you up with a starter kit (only $85 till Aug. 31) and you'll be good to go!

These are just a few of the make and takes we made at our gathering. Special thanks to: Heather (The More, The Merrier card), Sherry (Things I Love card), Pearl (Kind & Caring Thoughts card), whose cards are pictured below. Also thanks to Frankie, and Deb for their make and takes. These women volunteer to bring enough supplies for everyone to make their cards - they ROCK!

Country Morning, Circle Circus, Medallion...

Though these stamp sets vary widely in style, they're great to play with - especially at a stamp-a-stack, which is where I used these designs.

The first uses the Level 1 hostess set (free with $150 order) Country Morning. It's stamped in Basic Gray and colored in with an aqua painter and ink pads. The Whisper White layer is on Rich Razzleberry with a mini library clip.

The top two layers are adhered with dimensionals to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Razzleberry Lemonade paper, which is adhered to a strip of Rich Razzleberry that's been punched using the Eyelet Border punch, then to the Crushed Curry card front.

The Circle Circus card pictured here uses only Bermuda Bay ink, card stock and ribbon. The saying comes from the Short & Sweet stamp set, which is then punched out with a large oval punch.

The Melon Mambo Medallion card is so simple - just stamped on Whisper White card stock with a Build-a-Brad in the center.

I used the 1/2-inch circle punch and Razzleberry Lemonade paper to punch out a flower, adhering it to the brad with a mini glue dot, then securing the clear bubble over the top.

The sentiment is from the Level 3 hostess set Kind & Caring Thoughts.
