Below is the layout that we have been creating this month in my Stampbooking Clubs. I kind of feel like I cheated putting it together because there is virtually no stamping on it! Okay, one image. I almost always stamp on my pages, however, I didn't this time because I felt that this layout turned out perfect just the way it was. Between the use of the Claire Complements Canvas Shapes, Small Sparkle Flourishes, and Claire Workshop on the Go, I had more than enough elements to create with.
**************************************************************
Since I didn't do much stamping on the above layout, I definitely wanted to make sure that I did some on my cards that I made using the same kit. This first card that I put together uses four of the images from the Claire stamp set that you see below but you wouldn't really guess that since the main focus is around the cute little winged cupcake. To give it a bit of extra dimension, I added some Liquid Applique to the frosting.

On this next card I was able to make a plate of cupcakes by simply omitting the wings when cutting the stamped images out. I was able to create a perfect base for my cake plate by stamping the same cupcake back-to-back so the bottom of the images were touching. I love finding uses for images other than what they were intended for!
On this next card I random stamped the sentiment "Express YOURSELF" using the same color ink as the cardstock. The result was a great watermark effect. By doing so, it subliminally reinforced the use of the same image being used as the main sentiment.
One of the images found in the Claire Canvas Shapes is a journal block. And while that really worked well using it on the layout, it really didn't work too well on my cards. So...I decided to cut the top half away and used just the bottom half to create the scalloped portion of this card. The canvas texture at the bottom gave this card the perfect balance to go along with the use of the large Canvas butterfly on the top. Perfect!
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
