Happy Halloween

It is Halloween here in the United States and after a day of Halloween fun, it is finally time to sit and reflect and write a blog post  In classrooms all across the United States today, kids were having Halloween parties  My kids attend a public online school.  So that means their classroom is here in the house and any classroom Halloween treats are provided by me.  Lucky for them, Stampin' Up! has some great treat packaging options that add another element of fun to their treats today


 Halloween treat boxes were made with the ghost pattern from the Toil & Trouble DSP. If you would prefer a more fall themed box instead of Halloween  use Country Lane DSP with a coordinating color.  One of my favorite things about the Takeout Treats Bundle is that it includes stamps to help you make amazing treat boxes for every season.  You can even put a window in the front to give a sneak peek of the treats inside.
Make sure you head over to Stamp, Ink, Paper #174 to see the inspiration cards by the design team and other creative entries.

Sparkling Blizzard of Hugs

The first time I used the Blizzard Thinlits I knew I would be making cards with the negatives, or the parts left over when all the snowflakes were cutout.  Well, today is that day.  I used the negative from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper along with Rich Razzleberry cardstock to make this blizzard.



The blizzard carries on to the inside of the card with the stamped snowflakes.  Both sentiments are stamped in Night of Navy. This card was inspired by the sketch from Inspire. Create. Challenge #029 and Just Add Ink #432.  I chose to add Bling and a Bow with my Sparkle Glimmer Paper and Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon bow.

Strings of Lights Making Christmas Bright


I love the string of lights stamp from the Making Christmas Bright  stamp set.  When I saw the sketch for CAS Challenge #295, I thought the strings of lights would be perfect for my card.  I was thrilled that the 2018-2020 In Colors worked so well to give this card it's bright and cherry feel.

Video: October Online Classes Featuring Ribbon of Hope and Trick or Tweet stamp sets--Week 4

It's time once again for the Facebook LIVE online classes for October.  This week I wasn't feeling well Monday, so you got to experience two Live classes yesterday featuring both stamp sets of the month.  It's hard to believe next week is already November and because of how it falls, there will be a bonus 5th video Monday featuring the Ribbon of Courage stamp set.  However, Thursday will be November 1, so the Trick or Tweet class is finished.  Thursday starts the featured stamp set for November--Making Christmas Bright.  If you'd like to play along, you still have time to RSVP.  I am accepting RSVPs through the end of October.  You obviously won't have your stuff to play along the first week, but you can always access the recording later at whatever time works for you and create your cards then.


Here is the finished Ribbon of Courage Card as promised so you can see the coloring finished.

Thank You Apples

When I first started thinking about a card featuring apples, I couldn't help but think of the retired tree builder punch and the perfect small apple that comes from that punch.  It also happens to be the right size of apple to add to the bucket of fall harvest from the Pleasant Pheasant stamp set.  


The plaid patterned DSP from the Festive Farmhouse DSP was perfect for this card. The Cherry Cobbler apples coordinate with the plaid and that pop of color really brings focus to the apples.  There is even an apple on the inside of the card.

Celebrate Contrast

These cards were inspired by this week's challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch #294.  I knew I wanted to cut the sentiment out of the top card layer using the Big Shot.  I also knew I didn't want to glue the exact same type of paper back in; I wanted a little contrast.  That led to the creation of two cards.

 I began by cutting out the word celebrate from the Broadway Bound DSP and a piece of Lovely Lipstick Cardstock.  I then mounted both pieces of paper and the opposite sentiment on Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock.  Both were the adhered to a card base that coordinated with the sentiment paper and finished off with Glitter Enamel Dots (a black Faceted Dot was added to the Lovely Lipstick cardstock as well).  Both these cards make me want to smile and celebrate.  :)
