September Club Projects

We made this autumn/thanksgiving card using the new treat cups and Sweet Centers stamp set out of the Mini Catalog. We also used the Sanded background stamp, 1 3/4" circle punch and the Trio Flower punch. You could add any greeting you'd like on the bottom right of the card.
Colors: pumpkin pie, soft suede, more mustard, basic black, very vanilla

Our second project used the new Pumpkin Patch stamp set also out of the Mini Catalog, Canvas background stamp, Large Oval punch and the 1 3/8" square punch. The Cast-A-Spell Designer Series Paper is great for Thanksgiving/Autumn pages as well as Halloween.
Colors: dusty durango, soft suede, more mustard, old olive, very vanilla


Each pumpkin on the left page uses 5 large ovals stacked to look like a pumpkin with one in the middle and two on each side.

Fold-Out Scrapbook

You can choose your own measurements and they are all square so it makes it easy to cut. My cover is 5 3/4" square and the inside is 5 1/2" square. I'm working on a couple more scrapbooks that are identical to this one only the holiday changes to show you how easy it is to make this for any occasion and quick. It took me about 1-1 1/2 hours from start to finish and I made up my own measurements.

Materials:
  • Wonderful Favorites Stamp Set
  • Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set
  • Always Artichoke Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Dusty Durango Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Soft Suede Designer Series Paper
  • Always Artichoke Cardstock
  • Dusty Durango Cardstock
  • More Mustard Cardstock
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • 5/8" Very Vanilla Ribbon
  • Scallop Edge Punch
  • Dimensionals
  • SNAIL Adhesive

These pictures are viewed in steps as you unfold the book. I stamped the pumpkins individually, cut them out, and attached them to the cover usin dimensionals.

Open to the left.
Then up.
Then to the left again.
As you can see, I started with a 11" x 11" square and scored it both ways at 5 1/2 " and then slit the scored line on the left to the middle. Then I folded the top left square to the right, then down and the left bottom folds to the right on top of the rest.
