Welcome Wednesday my stampin friends!

On Wednesdays we have a new challenge at Make The Cards Challenge! Here is our newest inspiration to get you creating –

Perfect time for a sweet Halloween card –

Pretty funny, huh? I don’t have any Stampin’ Up witch stamps this year, so I created one from one of the skeletons in the Cute halloween Designer Series Paper –

I improvised and colors the face with a Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green. I also added a witch hat to create her.

The hat came from the Clever Cats stamp set –

To get a perfectly stamped image, I used the Stamparatus to stamp it. Yes, it was fussy cut!

This simple sentiment that says it all is from the Little Delights stamp set. It’s awesome because it can be used for a variety of fall occasions!

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cute Halloween cards!

I used the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper for this bootiful card –

For these cute little ghosts, I used the Whale Punch! I trimmed away the fin and tail – soo easy to modify! (The Halloween Punch is currently on backorder, so this idea is a great alternative!)

I used additional strips of pattern paper to strike up the cuteness around the sentiment from the Cutest Halloween stamp! The Gingham bow was also a nice touch!

Looking forward to sending this out soon!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Fun Fold Fridays – Halloween Card

October 8, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday card share!

I created a quick, easy and cute card today –

Pretty cute front!

Really cute inside!

What do you think?

I love how you see both sides of this Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper!

To make the card –

base, 4 1/4″ x 7″, scored at 5 1/2″
DSP, 4″ x 5 1/4″
inside piece, 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
fold over 1 1/2″ flap
adhere inside piece first
adhere DSP to inside of card leaving 1/8″ border all around
tie ribbon around
adhere pumpkin

How did I create this small, larger pumpkin? I cut three pumpkins from the Halloween Punch, trimmed away the stems and stacked them.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Cutest Halloween, Cute Halloween Bundle, Cutest Halloween Suite, Cute Halloween DSP, Halloween Punch, Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins, Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon, Halloween Card, Fun Fold Fridays, Fun Fold

It makes for a nice sized pumpkin now!

I added the Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins and the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon to the card.

Hello Friday!

It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Blog Hop time!

Our theme this month is anything fall!

I went with Halloween as it is just around the corner!

Lol! Isn’t this sentiment stamp THE best!?!?! It is SO true if you think about it! Lol!

Here are the rest of the fabulous words in this Well Defined set –

I used the Stamparatus to stamp a nice, clean image!

Now this fun candy paper? It is the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper –

Since the pattern was all black and white, I used Stampin’ Blends to color it in!

This paper also has a sweet coordinating punch for it, the Halloween Punch –

I used it to cut out the Ghost, Cat, and Pumpkin. Soo cute! And, nice I didn’t have to stamp and color them!

The Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins were last detail I added to this sweet card! It was just what it needed!

I’d love to read what you think of this cute card before heading to Tricia’s Stamping Creations!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

I used the sweetest Designer Series Paper for this card called Cute Halloween –

Look how I used it –

Sooo sweet! And, this layout is great for scraps too!

This equally adorable stamp set for the sentiment is the Cutest Halloween stamp set –

I strategically punched it using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch –

Here is a close up of my trim work –

The focal image is from the Designer Series Paper too! I used the Layering Circles Dies for both the circle and the scallop circle behind it!

Such a sweet card! I can not wait to mail it out!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – On The Table

September 11, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features things found on a table!

How about this –

Yes, a candy jar! Because candy jars are found on table, lol! And, it’s a really cute card!

I punched Black Glitter Paper (yes, they brought it back this holiday season), card stock, and Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper using the Jar Punch. This is that cute paper –

Here is the Jar Punch –

I even punch lids separately! And, scored them to look as though the are real, lol!

This simply cute sentiment is from the Little Delights stamp set –

A perfect all around fall-time, or anytime, greeting set!

I almost forgot! I colored the candy in the jar with Stampin’ Blends! That was the icing on the cake for this card!

All this makes for a cute, sweet card!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – In The Garden

September 4, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features things from the garden on a card!

So, naturally my first thought was flowers, but I had something else in mind……

I know, I know. You’re going wha? Thats Halloween.

Here is how I connected these dots, lol. Pumpkins are grown in the garden. This just happens to be a smiling pumpkin lol!

It’s soo cute though, right?

I stamped three pumpkins from the Clever Cats stamp set in Memento Black onto Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green.

I then used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to punch each one out. For the sentiment, I stamped the greeting and punched it using the same punch only to reinsert it to make it more narrow!

I layered these on strips of Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper –

Initially this was a standard sized card. I felt there was too much white card base showing so I made it a mini slim card measuring 3 1/2″ x 6″. This was much better visually!

I can not wait to mail this card out closer to Halloween – it is sure to be a hit to whomever receives it!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Simple. Clean. And, for me, Halloween!

So silly! So cute!

I started with a piece of the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper –

Figured out my layout. Cut my strips. And punched a circle from one of the patterns. These goofy skull heads are adorable!

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, Cutest Halloween –

These all work so great together! I guess that’s why they coordinating, lol!

Happy Saturday! Welcome to my blog hop of the day!

(If you’re a subscriber, this is the first of three hops for the day!)

I’ll start off with a Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our favorite new Designer Series Paper!

Oh, so hard as there are soo many great new pattern papers in this mini catalog!

I’ll go with a fun one, Halloween!

This is the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper –

I love it because it has a coordinating bundle, the Cutest Halloween to go with it –

See the punch in the bundle? It is the Halloween Punch. Some of the patterns in the Designer Series Paper coordinate with that punch!

See the cat, ghost, and the pumpkin? Just adorable! There are also stamps to stamp them before punching them too!

I love this card as it is perfect for anyone! Even those who do not celebrate Halloween! Wouldn’t you just love to receive this in the mail?
