It's Fall Friday! This weeks project I made with the adorable Pretty Pillow Box dies from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog.  I also used the Cute Halloween designer series paper for the base of the pillow box and the embellishments.

Here is a picture of the back of the boxes so you can see the difference between them better. I made two of them because I wanted to show you how you can change the look of a project just by using Stampin' Blends. 

I colored the paper before I cut out the Pretty Pillow Box with the Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather Blends. 

I cut out an additional layer for the flap from Granny Smith Paper to make the flap pop. I used the Halloween punch to punch out the cat, ghost (on left hand side) and pumpkin from another piece of the designer series paper. The other ghost I fussy cut out.

I put a peanut butter pumpkin inside mine, but you can put other things such as a gift card, small gift, jewelry, etc. in it. I added a triple bow made with the beautiful Gorgeous Grape Sheer ribbon. 

Are you as excited for the weekend as I am? Mr. Wonderful and I are going away for a few days for our 33rd wedding anniversary. I can't wait to get away from everything and enjoy some time together with none of the everyday demands. 

I hope you have a terrific Friday and weekend!

Sending everyone lots of love and hugs. 

Happy Stampin!

It's Friday! So, you know what that means. Time for my Fall Friday project! This week's project is a card that I made with the Love of Leaves stamp set from the annual catalog. I was looking for another stamp set, when I saw this stamp set on my shelf and realized that I had totally forgotten about it. Have you done that too?

One of the ways I like to get inspiration for my projects is to look out my craft room window. This time I noticed that the leaves are just starting to change colors. That made me think of the colors in the trees, when all the leaves are full color. They are so pretty. I love how God gives us such beautiful colors in the fall. It is one of the reasons that fall is my favorite season.

I had so many different colors on my desk, but finally, I ended up narrowing it down to the colors above. Do they remind you of fall?

I used a technique I hadn't used in a very long time, the thumping technique. You can do this technique two ways. On both of them you start with putting ink on your stamp, I used either Crushed Curry or Pumpkin Pie, and then you add color to it. You can use a Stampin' Write marker or a dauber to do this technique. You  tap (thump) the marker or dauber, with ink on it, on to the stamp with different colors. This is going to give you a variety of colors when you stamp your image. One tip I have for you is before you stamp your image, make sure you huff on it. You need to make sure that all of the ink is moist to get a nice image. This time I used a dauber as I wanted to have the textured look of real leaves. 

One thing that I love about the dies, Stitched Leaves, is that on the leaves you can cut them out, only emboss them or do both. On the leaves that are stamped directly on the Basic White cardstock I just embossed them. On the two leaves that I stamped and the copper leaf, I cut and embossed them at the same time. I love the look of just the embossing on the stamped leaves. 

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Mossy Meadow

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 1/4" x 5 1/4"
  

Crushed Curry

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Basic White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Copper Foil Sheets

• cut at 1" x 2 1/4"

I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and added a triple bow that I made with Linen Thread. 

Are the leaves changing in your area yet? I can't wait until they are at their peak of color here in Ohio.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Sending everyone lots of love and hugs.

Happy Stampin!

Happy October! It's time for Fall Friday! I saw this box on Pinterest, created by Angie Juda, and loved it! You could use this box for treats, a small gift, gift card holder or what ever you want to use it for. Thank you Angie for sharing your project. I love it!

When I sat down to start working on making this box, I remembered I had a bag of Reese's Halloween miniatures I wanted to use. I opened them up and you are not going to believe what I saw. They had black ones with skulls on them, purple ones with ghost and orange ones with cross bones on them. I knew immediately that I had to use the Cute Halloween designer series paper. As you can tell in the picture above, the purple paper has ghost and the black has skulls, just like the candy. How cool is that?!

I couldn't decide which paper to use, so I made two of them. I love how they turned out. I know I will be making more of these, especially since you could use these for any occasion. 

I stamped the sentiment with Memento ink from the Cutest Halloween stamp set. I then cut it out with the Layering Circle dies and put it on the front of the box with dimensionals. I added a bow made with the Black & White Gingham ribbon and finished it with the Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

What would you use this box for?

Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by. I hope you have a fabulous Friday, weekend and October. I am excited for my weekend. I have my Christmas card in person class tonight and my online class on Saturday at 2:00pm on my Stampin Scrapper FaceBook page. I would love it you stopped by and said hi on Facebook. Do you have any fun things planned for this weekend?

Sending lots of love and hugs to everyone!

Today is the last day for Sale-A-Bration! One of the products you can get is the adorable Penguin Playmate designer series paper that I used on the above two cards. You have until 11:59pm MT to get your own designer series paper or another product from  the Sale-A-Bration brochure. This paper is my favorite product from the brochure. 

Here are some other cards that I have made with this paper.

This is a quick and easy layout that you could use with any designer series paper. I added some of the paper on the envelope, because we can not send out a naked envelope. LOL 

I love how you can use this paper for other occasions too. It doesn't have to be only for the holidays. One of my little angels loves, I mean loves, penguins, so I am going to give her this card for her birthday. She is going to love it. 

This card I made for my thank you notes to my customers last month. Here is the blog post for this card, Thank You Penguin Card.

I wanted to let you know that the Glitter paper and sheep dies have already sold out.  Don't forget to use the September host code when you order. You get a free gift from when you spend $50 or more and you get a Sale-A-Bration product. That is definitely a win-win for you!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a terrific Thursday.

Sending lots of love and hugs to everyone!

Happy Stampin!

Time for another project from my Fall Friday series! Today I have a simple stamping sympathy card to share with all of you. If you don't know, simple stamping is using ink, paper and stamps to create your card. Nobody likes to make sympathy cards, and when you do, you want to get them out in the mail right away. So, you need a card that is quick, easy and special. I have the perfect card for you.

I used the beautiful Delicate Dahlias stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration brochure. I used fall colors, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Merry Merlot and Mossy Meadow. I haven't used Merry Merlot in so long. I am not sure why though, it is beautiful.

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Early Espresso

• cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Crushed Curry

• cut at 3 3/4" x 5"

Merry Merlot

• cut at 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Very Vanilla

• cut at 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
  

I felt like this card needed just a little something, so I added 3 Champagne Rhinestones. 

I stamped 3 small flowers on the inside of the card and on my envelope. 

Reminder, Sale-A-Bration will be ending on Thursday, September 30th and the Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out. 

I am so excited for my in person Holiday Extravaganza tomorrow. I can't wait. We are going to have so much fun!

Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Sending lots of love and hugs to everyone!

Welcome to my Fall Friday series! I haven't scrapbooked in a while, so I thought this would be a perfect time to make a scrapbook page. I used the adorable Frightfully Cute bundle and Cute Halloween designer series paper from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. I love how it turned out!

I was playing around with the 6" x 6" pieces of designer series paper and came up with the idea of using different pieces to form a square. I cut each of the 6" x 6" pieces into 4 triangles. I then mixed them up and laid them out on 1/2 of each of the 12" x 12" white cardstock. 

I cut out the spider webs and bats from the Black Glitter paper also in the holiday catalog. For the sentiments and spiders I used the Memento Black ink. I cut out the Frightfully Cute sentiment with the Frightful Tags dies. 

I can't wait to use this layout in my Disney scrapbook I am working on. 

I hope you enjoyed my Fall Friday project this week. I would love for you to comment below. 

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend!

Sending love and hugs to everyone.

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! I love being a part of this wonderful blog hop with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world.  Each month we share different crafting ideas with all of you! This month we are highlighting products from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog.

When I started thinking about what project I wanted to make this month, I remembered I had this strip of paper left from the Beauty of the Earth designer series pack. I looked through the holiday catalog to see what stamp set/dies could I use to make a card with it. I turn the page to the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and knew that I wanted to use that set. 

I love this set, but it didn't have a sentiment. So, I turned the page and there was another beautiful stamp set, Pretty Pumpkins. 

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Early Espresso

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Misty Moonlight

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Basic White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• scraps for leaves

Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I stamped the leaves with Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Merry Merlot and the sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso inks. I cut out the leaves with the Intricate Leaves dies and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped three leaves in the inside of the card and stamped the yellow leave on the front of my envelope. 

To finish off the card, I used the Gilded Gems and tied a bow with Linen Thread from the annual catalog.

We will be making 12 cards, 3 of 4 different designs, including envelopes. You do not have to have the dies to create these projects, I will be providing the cut out pieces. You will need to fussy cut the little tree on the top left hand card if you don't have the dies. 

You will need:

•  your favorite adhesive, glue dots, dimensionals and scissors.

I have adhesives available if you need them.  The fee for this class is $30.
