Hey Stampers!

Today share is a card I made for a shoe box swap I went to last weekend.  My upline Patty Bennett had her Stamp-Rama, which I was able to attend.  Very quick & simple card for the Holidays.

I used the stamp set called Patterned Pines (page 4) from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The set is one of the two sets offered to hostess from October 1st – January 4th.

DSP is Christmas Cocoa (page 21) from the Holiday Mini.  I wanted to be able to place my Final Press Emboss Folder along the side or at the top of my card only so I cut my Emboss Folder into different sizes.  I Stamped the trees on Real Red cardstock with Very Vanilla Craft Ink then heat embossed.  Saying is from the stamp set Heard from the Heart (page 142) Ribbon is Polka-Dot Grosgrain (page 183).

Hey Stampers…

The other day I made a Little Pumpkin Patch.  So today I made a card to go along with the Pumpkin Patch.

I wanted the card to look like the pumpkin patch.  I made the pumpkins with the Small Oval Punch (page 186) and the  DSP Cast-A- Spell (page 161).  Base of the card is Pumpkin Pie Cardstock with a Basic Black Top Note Die (page 198).  Used Pumpkin Pie Ribbon (page 183) for my stems and Old Olive Cardstock for the vines.

To make the bin to hold the pumpkins you need a piece of Kraft Cardstock sponged with Close to Cocoa I used the Scallop Edge Punch (page 187) for the top of the bin.  I cut pieces of Kraft Cardstock with the Word Window Punch (page 187) sponge them place one on every other scallop.  The  Happy Halloween  sign is made  from the stamp set All Holidays (page 43) from Stampin UP!.

Hey Stampers!

I wanted to make some pumpkins for Halloween.  So here is what I came up with.  My little pumpkin patch.  I made some pumpkins last year for Thanksgivings this year I wanted some for Halloween. 

I wanted the pumpkins to look like they were in a bin so I used the Big Shot Die Fancy Folds from Stampin Up! (page 200).  I did cut the box down a little then used the Scallop Edge Punch, (page 187) before putting the box together.  To make it look like a bin after it was together I used the Word Window Punch (page 187) added one to every other scallop (sponged with Close to Cocoa).

Pumpkins are made with the Round Tab Punch (page 187).  It takes 10 of them to make one pumpkin I used the DSP paper called Cast-A-Spell (page 161).  Added a little piece of ribbon before taping the last one together.  Then I took a thin piece of Old Olive cardstock around a pencil to make a stem.  What I did to make the cardstock look like hay was I took a piece of So Saffron cardstock sponged it with Close of Cocoa cut it into thin strips ran threw through the Crimper page (188).  My little 5 cent sign is made with the stamp set called Halloween Hoot (page 23)

Hey Stampers!

Yep!  I’m still on a Halloween kick.  This is a card I made with the stamp set Twick or Tweet (page 10) from the Holiday Mini. 

DSP is also from the mini catalog called Night & Day ( page 10).  Color stock used is Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black.  To make the round scallop I used the Big Shot Scallop Circle #2 Die ( page 199).  The cute little pumpkin was stamped on Watercolor Paper from Stampin Up! (page 158). To make the circles I used the Circle Scissor Plus (page  191), added ribbon, brads and  faux stitching around the pumpkin.

Hey Stampers!

This last of couple of weeks have flew by.  For some reason I have been in a cleaning mood.  I went through my Studio and cleaned from top to bottom this last week.  I still have a few things to finish but for the most part it’s done.  Here is a few pictures I took of my room (not sure if you can see in the photo that I like to have everything labeled)!  I’m lovin’ the Decor Elements in my room.   Another thing that has been keeping me busy is my husband and I are buying another business.  So off to more paperwork that we need to get ready Mr. Fedex in the morning.
