Nov 6, 2015 | Holiday catalog 2015 |
Did you notice the stamp set Holly Jolly Greetings on page 34 in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog? It is turning out to be one of my favorites especially paired with the Christmas Greetings Thinlits dies. Of course they are available as a bundle giving you a 15% savings – I love those bundles don’t you?
This is a quick and easy note card that I created using the bundle.
It’s a cute holiday note card with a fun technique that was shared at convention. Use an empty container – like one that buttons come in and mix together some of the multi-purpose liquid glue and a bit of water. Then use an Aqua painter to pick up the diluted glue and splatter it on the card front. Sprinkle with glitter and then pour off any excess. It creates this fun splatter glitter background.
Here is a list of the supplies I used.

It’s a rainy fall day here in Georgia – I had to put the dogs out in the rain this morning and they were not happy with me. Apples are always something I think of in the fall and some nice baked apples sure would be good on this rainy day. But what I’m sharing today is a cute apple themed project for you. I got this idea from my dear friend Cindy Schuster – she is uber creative and I love her designs. I decided to use this apple idea as one of the “pillow gift” projects at my fall retreat.
The apples are made with the Square Pillow Box die in the Holiday Catalog. It is such a nice size for a fun container to add a sweet treat inside. But rather than something sweet I filled them with a cute little notepad that I found at the store – I decorated them with some coordinating Into The Woods Designer Series Paper and Old Olive Baker’s Twine.
I hope you like this fun treat. The girls at the retreat thought they were super cute.

Oct 30, 2015 | Halloween, Holiday catalog 2015 |
I’m running out of time to post Halloween Projects. These are some that I have made over the past couple of months.
You might recognize this card since I copied the one out of the holiday catalog! It’s the Among the Branches stamp set bundle with the Woodlands embossing folder. Plus the spider web doily.
This one probably looks familiar too – it’s also an idea from the Holiday catalog. I did change it just a bit. My wrap is around a Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin. And I used the witches hat rather than the skull.
And one more
This idea came from Erica Cerwin and I basically made mine just like hers. This is the Berry Box die but it is a half sized box! It is so cute. I filled a cello bag with chex mix and tied the top with some Washi Tape and Baker’s Twine. They turned out super cute and I can’t wait to make some more for a different holiday.
Enjoy your Halloween weekend. Be safe! Make good choices (that’s what I tell my boys).
Oct 29, 2015 | Halloween, Holiday catalog 2015, Paper Pumpkin |
It’s almost time for Halloween and trick or treating! I finished up my September Paper Pumpkin kit and mailed those sweet treats off to my boys – well to the two that are out of state and have the other one here to be picked up. I included enough for them to give treats to their roommates too. Did you see these?
Last night was my Paper Pumpkin Craft night – a couple of the girls worked on the September kits and a couple of us worked on the new October Kits. I have everything stamped and was working on assembling the cards – I need to finish that up. If you are local to me and want to join us for a fun night out be sure to look for the next date on my calendar. I’ll be posting on my website and on Facebook.
Now here is a fun Halloween card for you –
This style card is fun to make – I’m not sure what to call it. I was calling it a window card but maybe it should be a peek-a-boo card since the inside peeks through to the front. Can you see the front of the card has a section cut out and that has been replaced with a piece of window sheet.
On the inside is the Designer Paper that peeks out. I added the BOO! cut from the Black Glimmer paper to the front of the window sheet. I used the Among the Branches bundle for this card. Embossing with the Woodlands Textured Embossing Folder – it is VERY POPULAR!!! And adding the little eyes peeking out among the branches. Yes I will admit when I first saw the stamp set and read the name it didn’t make much sense to me. About a day later I had that AHA! moment and realized why it was called that. The little elements from the stamp set go among the branches of the embossing folder.

Oct 23, 2015 | Stamp, Tags |
Last month I had my Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat and I made these little Cake Pop treats for everyone. Well I didn’t actually make the Cake Pops – I found those at the store, but I made the little tags and packaged them up to look so cute.
I love the little Acorn Builder Punch and used it for these cute tags. The caps are the Corrugated Cardstock in the annual catalog. The base is Old Olive and I drew the little face on with my Journaling Pens. The tiny leaf is from Among the Branches and the “tasty treats” is from All Boxed Up set.
Don’t forget the stamp set sale ends today – so get the ones on your wish list today!
