Witches Happy Haunting …

Posted in Halloween, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you all got to enjoy the beautiful weekend, we were blessed with a fabulous fall day! I love this time of year.

Yesterday I used the large stripes from the “Timeless Elegance” designer paper, and today I’m going to highlight the lace pattern. Who better to wear lace than a witch! I stamped her hat in Elegant Eggplant and heat embossed it with the Iridescent Ice emboss powder.

Her hat … oh yes, that came from the Howl-o-ween Bundle; The Howl-o-ween Treats stamp set and Boo to You Framelits Dies. It’s so cute and so much fun to play with. To create the focal point, I placed the hat on a silver 2-1/2″ circle.

I love to use purple, green and orange for Halloween so my color choices for today’s card was Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie which I used for my tags and base for the card. I finished my edges with the Triple Banner Punch … it can really make a banner from any size of cardstock, not just the 3 that are slotted for!

As for my “Happy Haunting” greeting … I took that from my September Paper Pumpkin stamp set. Paper Pumpkin has some awesome “exclusive” stamps! It is really worth trying it out at least. CLICK HERE.

I hope my card inspired you to use your designer papers for any type of project … it’s always more fun to think outside the box!

Thank you for stopping by today ~

Have a marvelous Monday!

Simply Sunday: Ghostly Greetings

Posted in Halloween, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend! Did you get a chance to see yesterday’s post and the cute Witches Hat!? Well today, I have a bit more Halloween for you for my Simply Sunday card share.

The quickest and easiest way to create a cute card is to begin with cute paper (or a beautiful card with beautiful paper). Stampin’ Up has many flavors of designer paper to fit your needs.

Today I have chosen the “Happy Haunting” designer paper, and another simple choice is the “Happy Haunting” cardstock pack. These colors were picked to coordinate with your designer paper!

There are soooo many cute patterns in the “Happy Haunting” designer paper but I just had to use the ghosts first! And what does a ghost say when he wants to scare you? Boo! I cut the “Boo” out of the new “Black Glimmer” paper. Don’t forget that you can bundle the “Boo to You” framelit dies with the “Howl-o-ween” stamp set and save 15%.

I wanted to highlight my greeting so I used a banner created with the “Triple Banner” punch. Then I grounded my banner with the Rhinestones – coloring them with a black Sharpie™ marker. The finished banner was mounted with the dimensionals to give the card “dimension!”

Now … did you catch my ghostly guy inside the card? I created the little eyes with the “White Perfect Accents” that are found in our main catalog (pg. 161) in the embellishments. I colored them with a Sharpie™ marker as well.

Keepin’ my Sunday’s simple with Designer Paper and a few helpful accessories. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your holiday weekend and spending it with me.

Have a wonderful day & continue to have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Simply Sunday … BOO!

Posted in Halloween, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a fun Halloween card to share with you… A simple black and white card.

I am using the “Boo to You” Framelit Dies again today (pg. 49 / Holiday Catalog) along with the”Black Glimmer Paper” (pg.47 / Holiday Catalog).

The eyes were created by simply punching out two “Extra Large Ovals” out of the Black Glimmer paper. I then faced the glitter sides together and cut a slant across the top… Now your eyes will both slant in.

To create the pupil of the eye, I simply cut a notch out of the eye with a scissors … if your a perfectionist, you can use the corner of a square punch.

I used the new “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” (pg.43 Holiday Catalog) to adhere my “BOO!” greeting to the card front. I hope you had a chance to see my tips for using the glue pen in yesterday’s blog post.

The items in the Holiday Catalog will be available to you soon … Sept. 1st, 2015! If you don’t have a demonstrator or a catalog, I’d be happy to get one to you … just leave a comment below.

Thank you for popping in today ~

Wonderfully Wicked …

Posted in Halloween, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Wooo … ran into technical difficulties again! But we got them worked out and I can share the “Wickedly Cute” card that I have made for you today.

For those who know me … you know I love Halloween and all things “Fall”, so I’m going to grab the coolest items out of the new Holiday catalog to show you! I knew the minute I saw the stamp set Project Life’s “Seasonal Snapshot 2015 … and the stamp Wicked” that I had to team it up with the “Boo to You” Framelit Dies! And really … would you use anything else but the “Black Glimmer Paper”?!!

The Project Life’s “Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Stamp set is so fun and versatile … It’s starts you out with “Back to School” and carries you through, well January (snowflakes) and everything in between! And it is bundled with the Card Collection and Accessory Pack … See Page 38 of your Holiday Catalog.

So … what do you think of the “Spider Web Doilies”? They are so much fun and easy to use … and you get 24 of them for only $4.50! I used the new “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” (pg.43) to adhere my spider web doily to the Pumpkin Pie paper.

I have some tips for you for using your “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” …

First, before trying to use your glue pen, remove the cap and pull off the protective cover.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to use my Crystal Effects without pulling the tab off of it before cutting the tip bigger (oh my … we all learn the hard way! LOL)

Secondly, there is a “pin” built into the cover of your glue pen to keep the tip from clogging up! Use your finger to guide the pin back into the glue tip.

000_2477

I also used the “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” to attach my stars to the hat … can you see where the star’s came from?

000_2483

To create some fun on the inside of my card too, I used the “Confetti Star’s Border” punch and punched out a bottom border. I then used the stars to add color to my hat on the front.

I created my focal point by punching a 2-1/2″ circle of Elegant Eggplant behind my had. The hat is popped up with dimensionals to create some additional dimension.

Sounds like a lot of steps (not really) but it was super simple and fun to make…

I hope you found my card wickedly cute! I have a lot more Halloween cards up my sleeve and can’t wait to share with you.

Thank you for hanging out with me!

Enjoy your day ~
