For All Things - FMS155

Don't you just LOVE fall???   Watching the leaves change and fall off the trees. . . . .   The weather is almost the perfect temperature; jeans, t-shirt and maybe a light jacket!     

Here is my card for the latest Sketch Challenge posted over at Freshly Made Sketches.   I used the For All Things Stamp set and Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper.   Beautiful Bold colors and patterns for cards or Scrapbooking. 

I really like this card and thinking it may be used in my October classes!!  I'm sure my Stampin Ladies will like it!   

Hope you enjoy my project!

Merry & Bright Snowman Punch Card - Modified Case

I saw this little Punch Art guy on You Tube and HAD to make him!   Loved him so much, I decided to add him to my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack in November.    When I made my sample, my Snowman did not have arms, and I felt something was missing.    So I got our my Bird Builder punch and used the "branch" to make him some arms.   This really finished my card off.    Hope you like him as much as I do!   

I added a Sentiment to my sample as well.   This set is not in the catalog, but is a MUST have for your Holiday Cards!   Christmas Bliss #138897 $15.95

Holiday Home Z-Fold Card MM127

Happy Monday; or should I say Merry Monday!!  

Here is another sample for my upcoming Holiday Stamp-a-Stack.   This fun "Z-Fold" card is so much of fun and can be used for any Occasion! Decided to play along with the Christmas Bingo Game over at Merry Monday blog.     

The Z Fold is super easy, just cut your cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" -- score along the 11" side at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".   Fold to make the "Z".    

Hope you enjoy my project!

Wondrous Wreath Door Card

One of my favorite time of the year is Christmas!   I NEVER get tired of making Christmas/Holiday cards!!!    Here is a sample for my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack coming up in a few months!     

I knew when I saw the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set and Framelit Bundle I HAD to have it!     I was a little concerned about "lining up" the framelit with the stamped wreath, but no worries, Stampin Up! has us covered!!    See my photos below for step-by-step instructions to make your life easier!!  ;) 

Here is the same card in Crumb Cake. Thought I would like this color better (more of a wood door color), but felt it was "too dark" for my card.  
There is a "tab" on both the stamp and the framelit!!!   When stamping the wreath, make sure you have the tab towards the bottom of your cardstock.    This also allows for easier stamping for the other layers!

White Christmas -- MM#125

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!     Here is a sample for my September Classes.   Love the White Christmas Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog, don't you???   So many variations can be made with it, LOVE the versatility.    I am playing along with Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge -- Transportation.  

There are two versions of my card below.   The 2nd sample was my first attempt and I do like it, but decided it was "missing something".   Decided to pull my Top Note Bigz Die and play.   I like both cards, but "favor" the Top Note one. Which is your favorite??   

The "snow" was made by using the Two-Way Glue and sprinkling Dazzling Diamonds over it while it's still "wet".   The sky was created by using my Aqua Painter and the Pool Party Ink Pad.  Carefully "squeeze" the ink pad while it is closed to transfer the ink from the pad to the lid.  When you open just "pick up" the ink with your Aqua Painter and get to work!!

Stamps:  White Christmas
Cardstock:  Island Indigo, Pool Party, Whisper White

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Curvy Keepsake Box

There have been so many amazing ideas when using the New Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit Die from Stampin Up!    I knew I was going to make a cute Halloween box in my September classes but wasn't quiet sure what I was going to make. . . . . thanks to many creative demonstrators, I decided to make my own version of a Pumpkin.    I hope you like it!   

The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit Die is super easy to use and the box is simple to put together.   I actually couldn't stop making other Halloween and Christmas themed boxes (pictures to come shortly).     This thinlit die is completely worth the $33 price tag -- Not only do you get the thinlit to make the box (need to cut 2), but you also get three (3) cute little tag thinlits that are perfect size for the box.  

The Happy Halloween words came from the Good Greetings stamp set.   This is a Hostess Exclusive stamp set.    Now through October 31, 2014 you can earn the set FREE with $300 in class sales and/or personal order.   This set is so versatile and covers Holidays from Halloween to Valentine's Day.
