How cute is this!!!  My card is full of new products from the Holiday Catalog and I love them all!!  One of the best things about this new catalog is all of the amazing BUNDLES of products that Stampin' Up! did for us.  This particular card features the HOWL-O-WEEN TREAT stamp set and BOO TO YOU Framelits that I got at a 15% discount with the bundle!

Howl-o-ween Treats Bundle

Since there are coordinating framelits for this set, I had this card put together in no time!  In fact, I have a quick little video to show you exactly what I did, including a fun little trick with the new SPIDER WEB DOILIES.

See what I mean!! Quick and easy card that packs a lot of punch!  Isn't the doily trick so fun!  Now I have a little extra piece to use for later!

    This card is darling. My favorite colors for Halloween are the traditional black and orange (pumpkin pie) but love the touch of the Rich Razzleberry.

    What a great idea to trim the spider web! My Halloween colors are the traditional black, orange and white...but this year I may try to add Rich Razzleberry. Thanks for sharing your great idea!

    I love the spiderweb doilies and would be so happy to win an extra set. My favourite Halloween colours are black, orange, and purple. Not only are there many shades of orange and purple, but look at all the textures of black we have to use - matte, glossy, glittery, vellum, etc. Stampin Up cards come alive right before our eyes!

Flashback Friday: Travel Time

Image
Welcome to another Flashback Friday!!  Today we travel back to 2003 for the fun stamp set called Travel Time.  I thought this was an appropriate set for this week.  It is Stampin' Up!'s convention this week so a lot of demonstrators are traveling.  Here's what the set looks like. I made a CAS card (clean and simple) with this set.  I have been doing more of the clean look lately, it brings this set a more modern look. The card is very simple, Whisper White card stock and neutral inks.  Here's the details: 1.  Card base is Whisper White.  I stamped the map and suitcase in Crumb Cake .  Stamped the sentiments in Basic Gray. 2.  Stamped the card on Glossy White card stock (boy do I wish this paper was not retired) with StazOn Black ink.  Color was added with markers and blender pen.  I fussy cut the car and added it to the card with dimensionals. That's it!! A CAS card to modernize this set from 10 years ago.  Thanks for flas...

Party Animal

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are all featuring ANIMALS. I almost used the Playful Pals Bundle, but the fun new set BALLOON BUILDERS was calling my name! Isn't this balloon elephant too cute!!  I knew from the start that this little guy needed a string for his balloon.  Let's take a closer look. The thin silver thread was just perfect for the balloon string!  It took a couple tries to get the bow tied, but it was worth the effort! I kept the card pretty simple overall with a pretty design from the gorgeous BIRTHDAY BOUQUET paper in the background.  The elephant was stamped on Whisper White then I cut out the trunk before die cutting the rest with a circle framelit.  I had in mind that he was kind of floating in a balloon himself on the card! BUT, are you wondering why I named this post PARTY ANIMAL and then shared such a sweet and gentle little elephant??  Well, I named the post after my ten year old daughter Sofia who went...

Peachy Keen Jellybean!

Image
I used to love to say "Peachy Keen Jellybean" when I was younger so when I first saw the new Occasions catalog I smiled!  The Peachy Keen stamp set is right up my alley!!  I haven't had the chance to use the bundle much so I pulled it out for this week's Monday Lunchtime Sketch challenge. This sketch is perfect for the Peachy Keen stamps and Gorgeous Grunge. Putting together a fun yet fast card is always a good thing!  I had this card complete in 15 minutes flat...and that's with a fussy baby hanging out next to me in his stroller! The card base is Tangerine Tango with a simple layer of Whisper White. The right side has Gorgeous Grunge stamped with Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar.  I didn't want to over do it and make the card too busy, I wanted the greeting to stand out. Peachy Keen definitely stands out when stamped boldly in Tangerine Tango.  I must admit that up until the last week or so, I hardly ever used this color.  Now, I feel like I am using ...
