Stampin Up Blended Seasons Thinking of You

I love the flowers from the Blended Seasons set.  I colored them with Highland Heather light and dark Stampin Blends and Granny Apple Green light and dark Stampin Blends.  And then cut them out with my Scan n Cut2.  Then I did some more fussy trimming around them so as not to show the white border. The flowers are layered on top of a panel I hand cut from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Dsp.  "Thinking of You" is from the Darling Label stamp set and cut with an oval die.  I cut out some extra leaves to put behind it. I ran the Granny Apple Green layer through the Subtle Dynamic TIEF. And at the end I added a few green Glitter Enamel dots. 

Supplies:

CS: SU Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green
DSP: SU Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Spec.
Ink: SU Gorgeous Grape, Blends: Daffodil Delight (center of flowers), Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green
Stamps: Blended Seasons, Darling Label
Accessory: Oval die (Hero Arts Infinity Oval dies), SU Glitter Enamel Dots, SU TIEF Subtle Dynamic (Granny Apple Green layer)

Thanks for visiting today.  Happy Stamping!

Pop On By Stampin Up Haunted House

Well, It has taken Halloween to be on the horizon for me to post to my blog...shame on me.  I have actually made and sent cards.  Problem is I forget to photograph them.  The list of excuses is much longer but hopefully I'll post more often now.

I do love to make Halloween cards.  I knew when I saw the Pop Up House thinlit set in the annual catalog I wanted to make a haunted house.  Not a scary one of course.  Any way this is what I ended up making.  I only found two You Tube videos to research for help with the pop up part.  There may be more now.  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.  By the way....this one is practice card number three.  The first two...were learn from my mistakes cards!

Most of my supplies are Stampin Up some are retired now.

Party Pandas in a Box

I saw this type of box card on Linda Bauwin's blog.  Katherine Edwards from her team actually made it for a team challenge.  You'll find some instructions and a video on Linda's post here.

I used the Party Pandas with different cardstock and designer paper.  It folds flat and fits in a A2 size envelope.

It's trying to be spring here but not quite yet.  Wish it would hurry!  Thanks for stopping in today.

A Scrapbook Page....Finally!

It was the Daddy Daughter Dance at my granddaughter Cora's school this year.  The theme was costume and I'm told a good time was had by all!  And I finally made a scrapbook page.  It is after all the main reason I got into paper crafting; although you'd never know it.

The cardstock and ink are Stampin Up.  Designer paper was from a paper pad in my stash.  Other embellishments were cut with my Cameo - eye glasses, mustache, hat and music notes.  The feathers on the bottom glasses were from the actual pink boa she wore.  My journal piece was computer generated with MS Word.

Thanks for visiting.  Hopefully the warmer weather will be here soon.

Birthday Favors

I made 10 of these birthday treat bags for Cora's 9th birthday party with the neighborhood kids.  They are filled with some left over Halloween candy!  I used the mini treat bag thinlits with the It's My Party 12x12 dsp and the balloon punch.  The bow is from the Bouquet Bunch Framelits.  Also made some hershey kiss candy holders as ice cream cones but for some reason I can't get Blogger to load that photo.  Frustrating!

Thanks for visiting today!
