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!

Musical Season Christmas Card 2

I originally saw this card on Dawn Olchefske's web site here.  I used the mini tinsel trim to make the bow.  I didn't have the metallic foil doilies but I thought the bow worked just fine.  Also I used the negative space from the drummer boy to place the cut out drummer boy up on dimensionals.  You can see the red mat peeking out from behind. 

Thanks for stopping it today.

Stampin Up Musical Season

The Little Drummer Boy has always been a holiday favorite.  And that's the first thing that came to mind when I purchased the Musical Season stamp set.  This is what I came up with to share today.  Most supplies are Stampin Up.  Music notes are from an old stamp from my stash that I stamped and fussy cut.  The "rum pum pum pum...." was done on the computer and printed onto the small banner from the retired Bitty Banners framelits.  The red frame was made with the Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangles framelits.  And the drummer boy was stamped off twice and then stamped again and cut with my Scan N Cut and popped up on dimensionals.  I like the way this card came out.  I hope you do too.

Stampin UP Supplies:

Stamps:  Musical Season, Night In Bethlehem (for the stars)
Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Real Red
Dsp:  Merry Music

Correction:  the designer paper was from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper
