SPOOKY SWEETS CARD:

Hello there! I have a spooky card for you today made with the Spooky Sweets Bundle. I started with a Basic Black base and added a layer of Twinkle Twinkle DSP on top. I then cut several bats from a piece of Basic Black Cardstock using the Spooky Bats Punch, and attached it with Dimensionals.

I cut a circle using the Layering Circles Framelits from Crushed Curry Cardstock, and stamped the background with Crushed Curry ink as well. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink. I then cut the fence from a piece of Galvanized Metallic Paper using the Farmhouse Framelits. I squeezed some of the pieces together to make it look rickety. I attached it with Glue Dots as well as the bat. I attached the bats to the moon with Dimensionals.

I tucked a strip of Toil & Trouble DSP under with fence with SNAIL and added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I really like all the Halloween sets in the Holiday Catalog this year but told myself I didn't need them all...apparently I didn't listen:)

And talk about 'spooky'...I'm a little less than $200 away from earning the SU! Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles! Today is the last day to earn the trip, so I'm offering some really great incentives for you to help me get on that boat:

TURKEY FAVORS:

Hello there! I made this cute little turkey favor for the attendees at Debra's Workshop earlier this week. I got the idea from Rachael Coon at the Joy of Stampin' with Rachael. She made a really cute Thanksgiving card using the feather image from the Making Every Day Bright stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. I changed it up a little and used the large balloon from the Balloon Bouquet Punch for the body. I used Soft Suede Cardstock and used the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch for the head.

I used the Fox Builder Punch for several parts of him. His feet in Crumb Cake Cardstock, the beak in Crushed Curry, his gobble thing from Real Red Cardstock-just cut apart the fox tail tip, and I made the hat from Basic Black Cardstock-cut from the face image. I added his eyes with a Journaling Pen & attached the face pieces & hat with Liquid Tombow. I attached his feet with rolled Glue Dots & attached his head to his body with a Mini Dimensional.

I stamped the feathers from Making Every Day Bright with Memento Black ink onto Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze & Real Red Cardstock. I used the coordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch to punch them out. I attached some feathers with Liquid Tombow and attached some with Mini Dimensionals to give them some depth.

I cut strips of DSP from the Regals 6" x 6" DSP measuring 2" x 6" and scored them at 2 3/4" & 3 1/4". I stapled them close the the edge at the top and a Fun-sized Butterfinger fits inside perfectly. I then attached the turkey to the front of the DSP with Dimensionals. You'll want to attach the turkey so it overhangs a bit at the bottom; this will help it to stand up.

I added bows with Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon & Real Red Cotton Ribbon & attached them with Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings with Memento Black ink & used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out. I adhered it to the top of the DSP with Liquid Tombow. I made a loop from Gold Mini Sequin Trim, secured it with a Glue Dot and added a Gold Library Clip to secure it all. I made the gold buckle on the hat from Gold Glimmer Paper using the At Home Framelits.

The first one was really fun to make but I gotta tell ya, making 11 more wasn't as much, haha:) You'll just need to allow yourself enough time if you plan to  make a bunch of these, and you might want to recruit some help:) But in the end they were well worth the effort! Thanks so much for stopping by:)

FARMHOUSE CHRISTMAS CARD:

Hello there! I'm apologizing yet AGAIN for being late in getting this posted. I am in the process of losing my mind trying to earn the Incentive Trip. I thought I was there, but my numbers were off a hair and I'm about $200 away! I've been scrambling with a lot of last minute stuff, but I think it's going to happen!!! This is the other project we made at Debra's Workshop the other night, featuring the Farmhouse Christmas Bundle-one of my favorites from the Holiday Catalog! I started with a Cherry Cobbler base and added a couple of the adorable patterns from the Festive Farmhouse DSP.

I stamped the truck with Memento Black ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I colored it with the Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Basic Black & Light Crumb Cake Blends. I adhered it with Dimensionals and attached a piece of the adorable Striped Burlap Ribbon on top with Tear & Tape.

I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink onto Mossy Meadow Cardstock and cut it out with the coordinating Farmhouse Framelits. I bought the stamp set & framelits as a bundle & saved 10%! I attached the sentiment over the ribbon with Mini Dimensionals. I ran a piece of Festive Farmhouse Cotton Ribbon through a Galvanized Button and attached it with a couple of Glue Dots.

This is such a fun bundle and there are so many amazing products included in this suite. If you're interested in any of these fun products and giving me the small boost I need to get on that boat, please contact me! Thanks so much for stopping by:)

DAISY KRAFT PILLOW BOX:

Hello there! I have a good friend who hosted a Workshop last night and this is one of the projects we made. I knew there would be guests who have never stamped before so I didn't want to overwhelm them...as I'm really good at doing:) Everyone did a great job and we had so much fun:) I'm so glad to have spent the evening with this awesome bunch! I gave them each a Kraft Pillow Box and let them cram as much chocolate inside as they could.

We then stamped the little flower trio from Daisy Delight onto a piece of Country Lane DSP. We inked up the stamp with Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint using a Sponge Dauber & stamped the image a couple times to give the paper a pretty sheen. We flagged the end, adhered it to the pillow box & attached a Pearlized Doily half on top. We stamped the daisy twice onto a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock using Early Espresso ink and punched them out with the Daisy Punch. We rounded the petals slightly with a Bone Folder and adhered them together with a Dimensional in between.

Next, we punched a small circle from Early Espresso Cardstock using the 1/2" Circle Punch. We attached it to the flower center, added a Gold Faceted Gem & attached it to the DSP with a Dimensional. The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink onto a strip of Whisper White Cardstock. We flagged the end, tucked it under the flower & secured it with a Dimensional.

There was a big crew of 10 of us last night & it got a little nutty at times, but we really had a good time:) I'm so glad to have a bunch of new friends! Stop back tomorrow for another fun card that we made. Thanks so much for stopping by!

TRICK OR TWEET CARD:

Hello there! I'm so sorry I didn't get back with this the other day, it's just crazy town around here as I'm in the final stretch to earn the Incentive Trip! I had this made last week but I've had events back to back and throw in a few grandkids...well you can imagine:) I shared that you can make really fun plaing backgrounds using the Buffalo Check Background Stamp and a couple Stampin' Write Markers. I started with a Gorgeous Grape base and centered a piece of Whisper White Cardstock on the Stamparatus.

I barely clipped 2 opposite corners with washi tape to secure the cardstock, and inked the stamp with Pumpkin Pie ink. I reinked & stamped 3 times to get the coverage I wanted. I then removed the cardstock and trimmed it down, cutting off the sides that were covered up with the washi tape. I then took a metal ruler and centered it between 2 rows vertically. I ran a Granny Apple Green Marker along the edge & repeated all the way across the cardstock. I then turned the cardstock horizontally and repeated the process with a Gorgeous Grape Marker. It's so fun to create a custom pattern in whatever color scheme you want!

I adhered the cardstock to the card base with SNAIL and added a layer of Toil & Trouble DSP on top. I stamped the bird with Memento Black ink and colored it with Mango Melody, Dark Pumpkin Pie & Light Basic Black Blends. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black onto Mango Melody Cardstock, punched it out with the Duet Banner Punch and adhered it with Dimensionals.

I punched the moon & stars from Gold Glimmer Paper using the Twinkle Builder Punch. I attached the moon with Mini Dimensionals and the stars with Liquid Tombow. I hope you'll give this fun plaid technique a try! Remember, place a $50 order by tomorrow and get a package of Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets for FREE-a $9 value! Make sure to check out my Facebook group page SU!P FRIENDS! tomorrow, as I'll have lots of exciting things happening for my final push to get on that boat! Thanks so much for stopping by:)

WARM HEARTED CARD:

Hello there! Today I have a really quick & easy card using the Host Set Warm Hearted & the Buffalo Check Background Stamp-two of my favorites from the Holiday Catalog:) I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and inked it up with Pumpkin Pie ink as well. Using the Stamparatus made it a breeze to get the coverage I needed by being able to stamp it multiple times & getting perfect positioning each time!

I centered the cardstock in the center of the Stamparatus, keeping it away from the hinges to get better coverage. I then just barely clipped 2 corners with washi tape to keep it in place, and was able to reink and stamp several times. I then trimmed it down, cutting off the sides where the washi tape was. I then wrapped a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the cardstock, secured it on the back with Glue Dots & attached to the card base with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that I cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped the shadow image with Pumpkin Pie ink. The background was stamped with Smoky Slate ink and I stamped the skulls with Memento. I punched them out with a 3/4" Circle Punch & adhered them with Dimensionals & the one on the bottom with a Glue Dot.

I attached the oval with Dimensionals and added a bow on top with a Glue Dot. I finished it off with a few Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets, which kind of look like mini crystal balls-spooky! And I have a special treat for you this week-with a $50 order, you get a package of these cool embellishments for FREE! But you need to order by midnight on Monday, September 24th! You can watch a video for this card on my Facebook group SU!P FRIENDS! Check back tomorrow for another fun idea for this awesome background stamp! Thanks so much for stopping by:)

CAULDRON BUBBLE FAVOR:

Hello there! We had so much fun at the Cauldron Bubble Class yesterday, and this is the favor I made for each of the attendees:) They each got the Cauldron Bubble Bundle included in their class and I wanted to give them another idea of how to put this fun bundle to work:)

I filled a 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag with Peanuts & candy corn and tied it shut with a Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon Bow. I made the tag from a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock and punched it with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

I used one of the dies to cut out the fun star background. This die could be used all year...it would look really cool with a piece of Glimmer Paper behind it. Plus you get a bunch of tiny stars that you could glue to your project or they'd work great for a shaker card:) I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set with Memento Black ink and added a strip of Toil & Trouble DSP. One of the patterns has a page full of borders that you can cut down to whatever size you need. I cut out one of the cauldrons with a die & attached it with Dimensionals. I finished it off with a couple of Basic Black bats made with the Spooky Bats Punch. I attached the tag to the bow with a piece of Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine.

This was a really fun class to prep for & I wanted to give a shout out to Erica Cerwin for the adorable projects!

I'm looking forward to being able to spend more time creating projects in this next year. I only have 2 more weeks in the earning period for the cruise and then things will slow down and I can get back into a groove instead of running on fumes:)

I've got my Sip & Stack Class prepped and ready to go! This class is made with the Memories & More Santa's Workshop Card Pack and coordinating Cards & Envelopes.

DASHING ALONG CARD PACK:

Hello there! For the month of September you can earn a beautiful pack of this Dashing Along Designer Series Paper for FREE with a $250 workshop, catalog party or order. Plus I'm throwing in this BONUS pack of 5 cards for FREE!

In addition to the exclusive DSP, I'm giving you an Acetate Card Box with 5 beautiful cards featuring the DSP and the Dashing Deer Bundle. I have to be kind of honest, neither the paper nor the bundle did much for me on their own, but when you put the two together , you can come up with some amazing projects!

I attached this gorgeous tag to the Acetate Card Box with Glue Dots and you can easily remove it to add to a card base or add it to a present for someone special this Christmas. I especially love that this suite is perfect for masculine projects you may  be needing.

This is a perfect card for anyone-both male & female. It features the Frost White Shimmer Paint, a favorite product that SU! brought back! It's hard to see in the photo, but it's gorgeous in real life:)

I especially love how the Striped Burlap Trim coordinates with these products!

I love the elegance of this card and the how the rich colors work so well together. This suite was just made for the Gold Foil Sheets.

This card features the Real Red Mixed Satin Ribbon and Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape from the Holiday Catalog. You can get the 5-roll pack of washi tape for FREE when you order all 3 Product Shares! See below for more details.

This card is quite simple but still beautiful.

I love that you can use these deer images year round, not just limited to Christmas time.

This card features a sample of each of the 6 patterns you'll get in the Dashing Along DSP. You get 12 12" x 12" sheets, featuring these 6 designs. The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Whisper White.

I used a couple of brand new embellishments from the Holiday Catalog on this card-the All Is Bright Paper Clips and the Festive Farmhouse Elements. I simply used a Sponge Dauber in Cherry Cobbler ink to color the sentiment. I love the warm feeling of this card, it reminds me of a handmade patchwork quilt:)

This is the last of the 5 cards you'll get in the BONUS card pack. This one is really fancy with all the swirls and the gold foil. The papers coordinate perfectly with Cherry Cobbler & Garden Green Cardstock, but it goes equally well with neutrals like this Soft Suede base, as well as Crumb Cake & Sahara Sand as shown above.

I think my favorite thing about these products is their versatility. They look great dressed up and they also make some really great rustic projects as well.

I have 3 weeks from today to earn the Incentive Trip and I'm plugging along. I would love to be able to give you this pack of cards in addition to the beautiful Dashing Along DSP and Stampin' Rewards you'll earn with a $250 party, workshop or order.
