November Card Club
This technique is called "ink blowing" Start out with plain card stock or in this example we used textured cardstock. Drop a few drops of re-inker onto the cardstock and use a straw blow the ink. The ink pretty much goes where it wants, but you can try to direct it. Add more ink and blow with your straw as desired. Each card you make will be unique! The re-inker colors that were used here are Lagoon, Ruby and Honey, all from Close to My Heart. The circle was cut at 2 inches in white and the sun shape cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2 1/2. The stamp Thanks so Much from the You mean the World to Me stamp set (B1467) was stamped in Archival Black Ink.

October Card Club
This sweet little coffin gift box was made from the Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge. On page 76 of the Artiste booklet you will find the coffin, skeleton, and web (used as a stencil), page 77 is where the spider is. I cut the coffin at 4 inches, the web at 3 inches, the skeleton at 3 1/2 inches and the spider at 1 inch. A big, black brad was put on the spider for an embellishment, as well as hold the little guy on the coffin. The spooky banner was cut at 3/4 inches and stamped with black ink. To get the web effect, place the cut out on the lid of the coffin before you fold it. Hold it with one hand and use the other hand to ink up a sponge with black ink and sponge the ink on the coffin lid, remove the web and you have the outline of the web remaining. Remember to use good adhesive with this project so it won't come apart. We used Zig 2 way glue pen. This little coffin can hold 1 fun size candy bar.

September Card Club
To make this card, mask a section about a third of the way down with a 1 inch post-it note. Stamp your images by random stamping. Start with your biggest stamp first, then fill in around it with the next biggest stamp and so on. The stamps were swiped across the stamp pad for the muted effect. When you are finished with stamping, remove the post-it note and stamp your sentiment.

This fun little flower was made using eight 1 1/4 inch circles. Each circle was folded and then attached to a 1 1/4 inch circle to make the flower. A brad was then added to the middle.
Here are the instructions on how to fold the circles to make the flower.
