Halloween Treat Box

I made this adorable treat box from Chic n Scratch. I think she is doing twelve weeks of Halloween. This is week one. She does such a great job explaining how to make it, I will refer you directly to her video here.

It is very difficult, at least for me, to photo boxes, but I did the best I could. Most all of these supplies are in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

Here are the supplies I used.

Basic Black cardstock

Magic in This Night DSP

Stitched Shapes

Have a Hoot Bundle

3/4" circle punch

Soft Suede Stampin Blends

Gray Granite Stampin Blends

Glittered Organdy Ribbon

Once you learn how to make the box, look what you can do!

These little boxes hold a gift card perfectly, as well as most of the snack size Halloween treats. I needed a quick holder for a gift card for my brother in law so I quickly put this together using the Timeless Tropical stamp set and In The Tropics dies.

The flamingo is from Stamps of Life. I used our Flirty Flamingo Stampin Blends to color it.

I am sure I will be using this box idea through the holidays as I do like to give gift cards and treats.

Glad you stopped by today!

By The Dock

Love this card posted on page 113 of the new 2020 Annual Catalog. Thankful that I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator and have access to how the cards in the catalog are made. If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator, please contact me through my website. This is one of many benefits of being a demonstrator. Did I mention saving money on EVERY order?

This card features the By the Dock stamp set and Dockside Dies.

This is my take on the card:

Base: 11 x 4 1/4 Night of Navy cardstock, scored at 5 1/2 

White: 5 1/2 x 4 1/2

I made lines across the card using the Light Purple Posy Stampin Blend. Then I used the Dark Purple Posy Stampin Blend overlapping on the light. Then I used the Light Night of Navy Stampin Blend followed by the Dark Night of Navy Stampin Blend. All of the colors overlap into the next color. I used the white watercolor pencil in Assortment 1 to add some dimension to the ocean water. Trim this piece down to 5 1/8 x 4. Trim off 1/2" on both the top and the bottom. Adhere as shown to your base.

Stamp the dock in Memento Ink on Sahara Sand cardstock. Color using the Crumb Cake Stampin Blends. Color the bird using the white watercolor pencil. Die cut using Dockside dies. Adhere using dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment on Sahara Sand using Night of Navy. Die cut circle with Stitched Shapes. Adhere using dimensionals. 

Stamp the birds with Memento Ink onto white cardstock, color with Balmy Blue Stampin Blends and die cut.

Color 4 jewels from the Flowers for Every Season Gems with Stampin blends. A trick that was mentioned since these gems do not have adhesive on them, put them down on a strip of adhesive to hold them. When they are dry lift them off (I used my tweezers) and adhere to the card.

This card is so much prettier in person. Get your supplies and make yours today!

All these supplies and more are available through my website.

See you soon!

Always in My Heart

This card uses the Field of Flowers stamp set. One of my favorites in the new 2020 Annual Catalog.

It is a photopolymer set so placement is easy.

The base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 So Saffron scored and folded at the top.

White 5 x 3 3/4, circle 2 1/8" using Layering Circles

Pear Pizzaz 4 3/4 x 3 1/2

Early Espresso strip 3 3/8 x 3/8

Stamp the flowers at the bottom using Pear Pizzaz.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the image at the top in Early Espresso.

The flowers are stamped with So Saffron and Pear Pizzaz. This circle piece is adhered with dimensionals. Add a piece of linen thread and you're all done!

Quick and easy.

You can find all these supplies at my website.

Have a stamping weekend!

Boo!

Happy Wednesday, or is it Happy Windsday! (long time Winnie the Pooh fan!)

I love this card from Amy Koenders! It has two of my favorite things: Owls and Spiders!

I started with a base of 11 x 4 1/4. The bats are from Magic in This Night DSP cut at 4 7/8 x 3 1/8. This piece is actually layered on a piece of black measuring 5 x 3 3/4 and then adhered with dimensionals.

The largest circle is Mango Melody die cut with the Stitched Shapes (largest circle) and a small portion trimmed off the side. The smaller circle is Bumble Bee cut with the medium circle of Stitched Shapes. I stamped the owl image from Have a Hoot directly on the circle with Black Memento. Color the tree with Soft Suede Stampin Blends.

Stamp the owl image again on white and die cut with the Peek A Hoot Dies. The owl and the spider are on one die and cut out together. Color these with Crumb Cake and Gray Granite Stampin Blends. I copied Amy's idea of going around the images with Light Mango Melody

Using versamark stamp the sentiment and emboss with white emboss powder. This is stamped on a piece of the DSP 3 x 1/2" and adhered with dimensionals.

Add a bumblebee dot from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.

A quick stamp on the inside from the same set and colored with Crumb Cake. The pumpkin is colored with Mango Melody and Daffodil Delight.

Amy does great work. Hope you enjoy this card.

Spooky

Hello and Happy Monday!

Today's card is a "spooky" card. I don't buy a lot of Halloween, but if it has owls or spiders (sometimes cats), I'm hooked.

Lots of spiders on this card!

The base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Magic in This Night DSP.

I stamped the white layer which is 5 x 3 with the spider web image from Festive Corners using my Stamparatus. Then I ran this piece through my die cut machine using the new Cobweb 3D Embossing Folder.

I stamped "Spooky" on white cardstock and die cut it using the Stitched Rectangles. I layered this piece on Blackberry Bliss cut at 3 1/8 x 1 1/8.

The little black web is die cut from Peek A Hoot dies. There are 3 spiders that I fussy cut and added.

I stamped the inside of the card with a portion of the web from Festive Corners. I inked up just the spider and added it to the web. He has a little spinneret in the picture! That was an accident. Lol.

Lastly, I added 3D bodies to the spiders with the Iridescent Pearls. I love how they look on the spiders! 

All of these products are in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

I hope you like my spider card!

Blossoms in Bloom

Hello! Glad you stopped by today.

Here is another card using the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. This one doesn't require the coordinating die set. However, if you saw my previous post, you will want to get the die set also. If you purchase them together, you save 10%.

This stamp set is a photopolymer set with a lot of nice sentiments.

Base: 2020-2022 InColor BumbleBee 8 1/2 x 5 1/2

Layer: Blackberry Bliss 5 1/4 x 4

White Layer: 5 x 3 3/4

Stamp the main flower image in BumbleBee. Add leaves in Garden Green. Stamp the flower centers and some additional little flowers using Blackberry Bliss.

Add some bling with the metalic pearls.

I stamped the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss on Crumb Cake. This is cut out with the smallest die in the Stitched Rectangles. These are one of my go to die sets. I use from the smallest to the largest frequently. 

Add a bow with the linen thread.

I found this card on Pinterest posted by B. J. Peters. I changed the die cut for the sentiment and the bow. I have to say, this card is so much prettier in person. But alas, we have to go with the photo or you can make your own!

Flower Layers

Happy Wednesday!

My card today features the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle.

This card was designed by our own dear Mary Fish.

Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Smokey Slate

Layer: White 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder

The base die cut is using the New Misty Moonlight In Color. The outline die is again using the Smokey Slate. Adhere this entire piece with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Blossoms in Bloom using Smokey Slate on white 4 x 1/2".

Those little fun embellishments are the new 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots. 

You can get all of the supplies for this card here.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Holiday Catalog-Hello Tree

Guess what is today?

You guessed right if you said the day the NEW 2020 Mini Catalog goes LIVE!

Do you want to take a peek?  Click HERE.  

And now for a card I created using one of my NEW favorite sets, Life Is Beautiful. This is a photopolymer set. I love that the images are seasonal. I love the tree.... I love the font on the sentiments and of course I love the little bird house! Need I say more?

My base is white c/s 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded on the left. I added the polka dot piece from the Playing With Patterns DSP in the annual catalog. This piece is cut at 4 1/4 x 2 3/4. The main image is white c/s 5 x 3 3/4 layered onto a Soft Suede.

Stamp the tree with Soft Suede . The set has an image that makes shadows or grass in this case. I stamped that in Pear Pizzaz. I chose the regular leaf image and stamped it in Calypso Coral. Lastly, I stamped the bird house with Gray Granite and added a linen thread bow. I've been using this linen thread a lot lately. It is one of my "go tos". It is very reasonable at $5 for 15 yards.

The sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral and layered using the Layering Ovals die. I adhered this with dimensionals.

This is a set I will return to over and over. 

It is available to you starting today. Shop the Mini Catalog for this set and other new items HERE.

Hope you enjoy perusing the NEW Mini catalog!
