Pumpkins & Bats, Oh My!

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

The weather here was gorgeous!

Today I have a set of two cards to show you that were made with leftover pieces that I used up from other cards that Audrey requested this year. And you know she loves the happy jack o lantern from the Harvest Hello (retired) set. This year I was not at all thrilled with the 2 Halloween stamp sets that Stampin Up brought out on the Online Exclusives list so I decided I would use what was already in my stash. Harvest Hello was out a few years ago and one that has been very loved in my stamp room!

Card Details:

Stamps: Harvest Hello (retired), To Every Season (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry (retired), Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Plaid Tidings DSP (retired)

Accessories: Apple Builder Punch (retired), To Every Season Mini Punches (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Stylish Scroll EF (retired), Perennial Postage Dies, Halloween Night Twine (retired), Rich Razzleberry Enamel Stars, Adhesive Sheets, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These cards were so fun to create and nothing scary at all to them!

Christmas Greetings

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Another rainy dreary day here.

It kinda goes along with how I have been feeling.

Been dealing with a Urinary Tract Infection the last 2 days. 

Antibiotics have been started and drinking lots of water.

Yesterday I sat with my heating pad on to help soothe it and in between I sat at the kitchen table and worked on that Christmas puzzle. I stayed up till after midnight last nite to finish it up!

I have one more Christmas puzzle I might pull out later today. 

Here is a picture of it. It was a bit of a toughie since the outside edge are not square or rectangle shaped. 

I picked this puzzle up at Goodwill last week thinking it would be an easy one since it was only 300 pieces. Even Shawn tried helping and walked away.

So today I have another Christmas card to share with you that the stamp girls made last Saturday!

Hard to believe it's been a week already!

This one is so pretty with all those pops of Copper Foil Paper throughout the DSP and the Copper ornament. We used the Stamperatus for all the stamping on this card which made it SO much easier!

Card Details:

Stamps: Greatest Part of Christmas (hostess)

Ink: Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Very Vanilla, Copper Foil Paper, Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP

Accessories: Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack, Stylish Scrolls EF, Brightly Gleaming Copper Elements, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Stampartus, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

We all enjoyed making this one and it went rather fast with the Stamparatus doing most of the work!

The Raven

Hello & Happy Thursday!

One week until Halloween and Trick or Treat Night!

The countdown is on!

It's to be a beautiful day here and the temps are to get into the 70's!

Maybe I can open the windows for a little!

Yesterday, I was at my stamp table much of the afternoon making some Halloween cards.

My card uses a new set called The Raven from the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog.

My cardstock colors are Basic Black, Gray Granite & Whisper White but I should have used Basic Gray to go with the small piece of Monster Bash DSP that I used.

I sponged all the edges with Memento Black ink to give it a scary look.

I may redo this and send to my niece.

She loves the Baltimore Ravens (like us!!) and also loves Halloween!

Card Details:

Stamps: The Raven

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Basic Black, Gray Granite, Whisper White, Monster Bash DSP

Accessories: Stylish Scroll EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Banner Punch (retired), Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Glue Dot, Monster Bash Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm pretty happy with this and it was fun playing with this new set!

Hope you like it, too!

A Wicked Birthday

Hello & Happy Friday!

This week seemed to fly by for a change!

I am looking forward to the weekend.

Yesterday as I was looking thru my address book I realized a friends birthday is next week.

Since it's so close to Halloween I made her card a little bit Halloween-y!

I pulled out my packs of DSP in the Brights & Regals and found Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape & Pumpkin Pie in this Gingham print and I just kinda went from there and everything fell into place nicely!

I think she will like it since she loves Halloween!

Nothing scary.....just all around cuteness!

Card Details:

Stamps: Wonderfully Wicked

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Regals & Brights DSP Packs

Accessories: Stylish Scroll EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Granny Apple Green Ribbon, Gorgeous Grape Glittered Enamel Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Lots of birthdays coming up and with the craziness of the holidays coming, I thought i'd better get a jump on those cards! It was a fun day!

Say It Simply

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Another day of dreary, rainy weather and I guess I should not complain as we do need the rain.

Today I am sharing another card that the ladies made Saturday.

This one uses an old set from 2005 called Say It Simply.

It's a cute little set with snowflakes, a heart, a pumpkin and a Christmas Tree.

I don't think i've used it much over the years so I was determined to use it for my World Cardmaking Day.

I paired up my pumpkin with some retired Motley Monsters DSP and the new Stylish Scroll EF. Lastly I added a Tangerine Tango bow and a rhinestone.

Some of the ladies put their pumpkins on tilted which looked so cool!!

I should have taken a picture of it!

Card Details:

Stamps: Say It Simply (retired)

Ink: Tangerine Tango (retired)

Cardstock: Tangerine Tango (retired), Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Scroll EF, Square Layering Framelits, Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Rhinestone, Mini Dimensionals, Glue Dot, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Cute and not at all scary!
