Well in the case of my card – Happy OWLoween!
It’s a fun card using products from the Spooky Night Suite.
The fun Spooky Night Designer Series Paper has the spooky trees that you can stamp the owl right on to. Then I used the witches hat print and cut out a hat to add on the owl. And the eyes are sparkly with the Black Rhinestones.
I stamped the Happy OWLoween stamp and punched with the 1″ circle punch and then used a 1/16″ punch for a tiny hole to string some Black Baker’s Twine through.
TIP: I often take my clear mount stamps and cut them apart when images and words are on the same stamp. So when I want to use them separately I can. And when I want to use them together I just mount them back together on my clear block. In this set the owl eyes and the Happy OWLoween together but I cut them apart.
Have a Happy Halloween!

Oct 25, 2017 | 2017 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Christmas, Mini - Love Notes |
Do you remember a few years ago we used to sell 3×3 mini envelopes? Well they are back in our Holiday Catalog. So I created a little set of mini cards to go with them.
I used the Christmas Quilt bundle – the stamp set and the coordinating framelits for these cute little cards. I also stamped each envelope to match the card.
To make a 3×3 card cut your card stock to 6″ long by 3″ wide and then score the long side at 3″. For these I cut pieces of the Quilted Christmas Designer Series 6×6 Paper Stack for the front of each card. Mine are 2-3/4″ squares. Then I stamped the little quilted trees from the stamp set and die cut them with the die set and added the stitching piece to each one.
For the greeting I cut a 3″ strip of Whisper White card stock and I used a Real Red ink spot (I had one from a Paper Pumpkin Kit) to ink up only the words Merry Christmas from the greeting in the stamp set. I stamped that on my strip for the front of each little card. These would be cute for little gift enclosures this holiday season.
Thanks for stopping by.

Today’s post has two special products in it. One is the Merry Patterns stamp set – a special stamp available through the end of October (that means Oct. 31 st is the last day). You can earn it free with a qualifying party or order.
And the second is the brand new Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers coming out on November 1st!
I decided to put them together into this card base on the one in the photo above.
I used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers to color the candles. And Daffodil Delight with just a little Pumpkin Pie on my candle flames. The paper is Be Merry Designer Series Paper that is part of the sale going on this month (it also ends Oct. 31st).
Be sure to add the Stampin’ Bl;ends to your Christmas Wish List – there are 27 of them. 12 colors each with a light and dark marker, plus an ivory and a bronze and a color lifter.

Here is another quick note card – well this one may take a little bit longer – it uses the Big Shot. But it’s still cute and quick once you have your die cuts. Well I guess technically the last card I posted also had a die cut – so really this one is just as quick as that one.
This one uses the same Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper – yes I love that paper. Even the designs that I didn’t think I was going to like or use I’ve been using. I think I’m on my third pack right now. These are the Very Vanilla Notecards and envelopes. The paper is cut to 3×4 – so you can get 12 pieces from one 12×12 piece of the designer series paper.
I used Gold Foil Sheets on this one and die cut the little flourish – two of them – from the Flourish Thinlits dies. The card and envelope are stamped with the Flourshing Phrases stamp set. I used my Triple Banner Punch to punch the end of a 1″ strip of card stock for my greeting. And then finished with some Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine.
Don’t forget about the sale on Designer Series Paper. You can order your products HERE.
Enjoy!

I love to use the Notecards & Envelopes for quick little cards. The Very Vanilla ones are nice for a fall feel.
This one uses the Flourishing Phrases stamps set, a little bit of the Painted Autumn Designer Series paper. And to dress it up just a bit a die cut piece from the Flourish Thinlits. Stamp the envelope to match.
Quick and easy to make a stack – the notecards come in a pack of 20 with envelopes.
Thanks – it’s short and sweet today.
