Catty Samples

I went to a friend/demos house the other day to work on some more samples for my Stampin' Up! Catalog Launch Party, and we got alot accomplished! We brainstormed all day and had a blast!
So I thought I would share a few cards with you!
If you are interested in attending my Launch Party, leave a comment with your email address and I can email you the details!


This first card is using an awesome New Halloween stamp set from the catalog! I made the background with the web stamp from that set! The colors used are some of the NEW In Colors! Concord crush, pear pizazz, and Poppy parade! Aren't they just wonderful??



This card is using a new word set from the catalog! I also used Poppy Parade for this card. I am really loving this New In Color! And the ribbon is just great, isn't it??



This card was made using some of the Blueberry Crisp DSPaper! I love these colors together: Pacific Point and Sahara Sand. I think this DSP is one of my favorites!!


I want to thank you for looking!
Enjoy

I just love this time of year, crunching leaves, big comfy sweaters, apple cider, warm donuts, pumpkin picking, hay rides, haunted houses and time with the family!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!The kids love it too. They love to decorate and dress up!And I love to see them dressed up as well as their faces when they get that piece of candy they love!
Here's my first card! I love this cute little image I found at Archivers! Isn't he cute!
I colored him with my copics and I am loving them and getting better each time I use them if I do say so myself! LOL



This next card is a Christmas one that I cased the layout from Kathy Hildin (my 4th up line. I absolutely love this card! The tree is from Lovely as a Tree. I love that there is so many layers! And I love the Kraft paper. I just got Kraft paper from SU, and I am using it for everything!



Enjoy!
And if you have any questions just shoot me an email!

Hello All

Well its October 1st and its very cold here in Michigan! We had frost this morning and it feels like winter is here instead of fall! Its funny how some of the seasons are skipped here in Michigan!lol I do have the heat on so its toasty warm in the house! I guess we will see what happens, you never know we could have the air on next week.
So I got to create some things and you will see some new things here on my blog for the next few days! So be sure to check back often!
First I am going to share with you a Halloween card that can hold a gift card! This might be for a babysitter, a teacher, or an older child that doesn't trick or treat anymore. I re-created the gift card holder Shelli Gardner had on her blog awhile ago, since I rarely give a card that holds 2 gift cards!
So here's the outside:
And here is the inside:


Supplies-Stamps-House of haunts, Teeny Tiny Words.
Paper-Cast a Spell DSP, Dusty Durango,Whisper White,Rich Razzleberry, old olive

Stamp Camp Creations

Another Stamp Camp came and went, with a small crowd which was fun! We made Halloween and a Christmas card (more difficult) and a birthday card!
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves!
So I guess we will start with the Halloween card! I saw a version of the card on SCS and changed things up a bit!!

This is a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 card! I used dusty durango as my card base, then basic black, and then Cast a Spell DP on top of that! Then I layered a strip of Dusty Durango that I ran through the big shot with a CB spiderweb folder. We stamped the saying Happy Halloween on a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock which we taped under my main image which is stamped on Whisper white cardstock.The main image is the tree from House of Haunts stamp set which we heat embossed with black embossing powder and layered on black cardstock, which I cut with deckle scissors! I added a bow and that finished off the card!


Next the other Halloween thing we made was a purse matchbox!

Next we used the SU matchbox die and cut out the box part in black cardstock and the slider/lid piece in Cast a spell DP. We also used the same dusty durango ribbon from the card we made! I used Batty for You stamp set (which I love) and stamped it twice, once in black for the words, and once in perfect plum for the skull.We also added a strip of dusty durango once we used the scallop border punch and glued that on the front. Then we used the one inch punch to punch out the perfect plum skull and layer it with pop dots on the black skull which we punched out with the 1 1/4 punch. Then we layered that on a dusty durango 1 3/8 inch circle punch and added it to one of the Matchbox die labels!Once you add some DP to wrap your candy your all set!


Hope you enjoyed these two projects today!
I will post the Christmas double slider Iris fold card, and Birthday pop-up card tomorrow, so don't forget to come back!Thanks for looking as always!

Another Halloween Card

I absolutely love his image from Stamping Bella.
I had forgot I had ordered this one. So I made some cards with her and this one is going to my daughter. She will find it under her pillow on Halloween morning!

I think she will like it!
Enjoy

WOW! What a Saturday!

Saturday I spent all day with my friend Lynn and a bunch of Michigan SCS friends!
We went to Lansing for the Mini Mingle! I was so happy to meet all my SCS cyber friends in person! We ate, crafted, talked, laughed and had lots of fun! I can not wait til March to go to the BIG Michigan Mingle!
This card is one of the ones I made while with my friends!
The set is from C.C. Designs and I got it from All that Scraps!

Enjoy!

Swaps, swaps everywhere

I have been working diligently on swaps I am participating in on SCS.
I have a stack so big that keeps falling over which needs to be taken to the post office. The first one I will share with you is a fall swap. I found this stamp at Hobby Lobby and am Lovin it! I love how these cards turned out. I usually have a hard time with these stamps (House Mouse, Gruffies) because the image is on the large side.
The next one is for a Halloween Swap.

Enjoy

House Mouse

On our field trip I found some House of Mouse stamps!!I love these cute little critters. I used orange card stock layered with green and deep purple. Orange brads to secure the image. Karen Foster pattern paper that I got free from Archivers for spending a certain amount.(LOVE IT)A boo chubby stamp by Judith. Enjoy.
