July Stamp Club cards

Here are my cards from my club that just met last week! I love this new owl punch...isn't he so cute!


For this card I used:

* Curly Cute clear stamp set
* Pear Pizzaz cardstock
* Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper
* Poppy Parade stamp pad
* Two-step Owl Punch
* Two-step Bird Punch
* Pear Pizza 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon
* Early Espresso, Whisper White & Kraft cardstock
*Stampin' Dimensionals



This technique is called Burnishing. My dear, sweet friend, Melissa just taught me how to do this technique last week so I wanted to try it out! I tried to find a tutorial on Splitcoast to link to, but I didn't see one. Basically, you stamp the images & then use sponge daubers to rub the ink where you want it. I think it makes it look similar to fabric or a chalk effect.

For this card I used:
* the Flower Fancy stamp set
* Elegant Eggplant & Whisper White cardstock
* Elegant Eggplant, Regal Rose, So Saffron & Wild Wasabi stamp pads
* Black satin ribbon
* Sponge Daubers
