It’s Friday the 13th and so I couldn’t resist sharing some more Halloween cards with you today using the Wonderfully Wicked Bundle from the Holiday Catalog. This bundle includes some simple images that will assure you can create some great projects so that you can have a wonderfully wicked time this year with your family and friends. LOL!
Here are some projects using this set for you today – This first card uses a simple technique of turning down the corner of the card front allowing you a peek of what is inside.
And how about a little sparkle? This die was cut out using our Red Glimmer Paper (150427).
And of course here are some treat items, since what’s Halloween without some treats?
Halloween is one of those fun days where you can let your imagination carry you away. And Stampin’ Up! has created a wonderful option for creating lots of Halloween goodies.
You’ll want to be sure to check out the Monster Bash Suite – it’s filled with tons of coordinating products including a wonderfully versatile Ornate Frame Die set, Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder, and Basic Black 3/8″ Scalloped Edge Ribbon that ties beautifully!
Check out these wonderful cards created using the Spectacular Bash Stamp set
Aren’t the Ornate Frames simply wonderful? The Ornate Frames Dies set has 11 frames – and these cards show just a few of them!
And how about the lovely background on these next two cards created with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder?
And these last two cards used the Black Foil Sheets (147898) to punch out the little bats. The cute little bat punch can be found in the Every Season Punch Pack (150670) which contains 4 punches – one for each season. A great value and perfect to add those little touches to your projects.
This last card also uses our Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) which is currently on back order since it’s been sooooo popular – No worries, it will be available to order again towards the end of September.
Item not available message in my Online Store – Did you know that this year Stampin’ Up! has begun a policy of “turning off” an item when the back order volume has reached a certain number? I’m here to help – If you would like an item that is currently not available to order in my Online Store and it doesn’t give you the email message option shown above, I’m happy to put you on my list and notify you when the item is available to order again. Simply email me ([email protected]) and I’ll send you an email when the item is available again.

Ahh… the nip is in the air. Not – at least not for a while yet here in North Georgia. We’re having the hottest September in years. So it is kind of odd to watch all the leaves blowing across my yard when it’s in the 90s. I think mother nature is a bit confused this year.
The start of the school year and football season always makes me think of the fall color and cooler days, so I reached for the Gather Together Bundle to create this month’s birthday card.
What do you think? I used the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper for this card since I thought the texture was a great fit AND I love the fact it is part of our Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Promotion this month.
While this set has some lovely sentiments and images,
it didn’t contain a birthday sentiment which I wanted for this project so I reached for the Seaside Notions set since I thought the font was perfect for this card. What do you think? Of course you could use the “Wishing you well” sentiment also.
Check out my video tutorial to see how I made this card.
Want to make some too? Here is a PDF tutorial for you.

I’m loving these Gift of Fall Add-On Note Cards – the colors are great and the fact that you get 24 cards and envelopes for just $10 is a great deal.
Today’s cards were created with the left overs from my Paper Pumpkin Kit and stamp set.
But I know I can use these with our other products too for more great fall cards when I’ve finished up using my supplies from the kit – And there are a ton of things left, even after these cards.
Here are close ups of each card.
For this first one I stamped the sentiment and then scored the banner twice on each side to create a pop up effect – sooo easy to do!
Did you know that you can still join Paper Pumpkin and get your September kit? Yep, just one more day, so you’ll want to be sure to sign up before the end of the day September 10th. Click HERE to join

This month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit comes with a great stamp set and Merry Merlot Ink Spot – perfect for coloring with. And since I think monochromatic cards are always striking that’s where I started. So today’s card is one that I created simply by adding our Very Vanilla Note Cards, some card stock, and our Blender Pens! It is definitely what I consider #simplestamping which is always a great thing!
This card highlights one of our simple coloring techniques – and Blender Pens are a great tool to add to your supplies. Not only is it versatile it also gives you a lot of bang for your buck, since you’ll get 3 of them in your package. The options are endless, simply reach for your favorite color ink pad! This makes them great for a newer stamper just building their supplies or even a seasoned stamper like me.
Want to see how I created this card? I have shared this easy coloring technique in my video.

And of course here is a complete supply list and measurements all in a handy PDF just for you!

Want A Splash of Color?
Love color? Here are some more cards I made using the same layout idea. They play with a bit of color from past Paper Pumpkin Ink Spots.
This first card still stamps the branches and sentiment in Merry Merlot but uses the Pretty Peacock and Merry Merlot ink spots to color the berries. And how about this one? This time I used Early Espresso to stamp the branches and added Crushed Curry to the mix along.
What do you think? Monochromatic or color? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like?
Then stop back by when I’ll be sharing what I made with the left over pieces and the Paper Pumpkin Gift of Fall Add On Bundle.
Can you believe I’ve got all of this left over to create with?

Today’s card is one that I designed for my Team Retreat Shoe Box Swap and it was inspired by the card in the Holiday Catalog. Just goes to show, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you can just change it up a bit. This is what we call a CASE, or copy and share everything! lol
Inspiration can come from all places it doesn’t have to be just another card – color and patterns are all around us in our everyday lives. My daughter is always rolling her eyes at me when we are out shopping and I say “look there are flowers done in Terracotta Tile or like her dress years ago Calypso Coral! I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! keeps up with our color trends.
Here is the card – I just love cardinals so this was a set I just HAD to have!
I wanted a bold cardinal so for this project I used our Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends after paying around with the Watercolor Pencils and the Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink. The Disinktive stamp make this so easy to color since the shading is already there for you. You can see just how fast this card was to color with the Blends in my video.

Holiday Catalog Organizational Items
As you know before I really get crafting I find a few organizational items helpful. I’ve been doing these now for years and everyone seems to find them helpful, so I hope you will find them useful too. (You can click on the Organization link in the side bar to find past Organizational items)
This first item is a index for the new catalog. So you can flip and find the items easily. Let me know how you like it by leaving a comment below. And of course if you find a mistake, please let me know I’m happy to correct the file for everyone.
And of course a quick and easy color reference for all of the Designer
Series Paper that are new! Great to keep with your papers so you can
easily find what you need.
And so that you can get those Dies on the shelf with your other cases, here is my Case Inserts for the new Dies. If you haven’t used these before you’ll find the ones for the 2019 Annual Catalog HERE. (And if you need others you can find them under Organization. I’ve been doing these organizational items for years now! and the packaging matches our other labeling)
10/6/2019 Links have been updated so they should be working. As always thank you for letting me know when something isn’t working correctly.
Have a larger set of Dies? Simply add a second magnetic sheet to the inside and you’ll have lots of room for those larger sets of dies.
Love my organizational idea? What now? Simply print the PDF onto Whisper White Card stock (100730) and trim on lines. Then insert into one of our Standard Stamp Cases (119105). And add a magnetic sheet (I use vent covers I find at the hardware store) to the inside using our Tear & Tape (138995). Yes it’s that easy.
Enjoy! And then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll have a special tutorial for my Shoe Box Swap card from my Team Getaway from last month.

I’m
currently running a very special challenge – a VIP 10 for 250 Challenge.
If your Wishlist
has been growing since the Annual Catalog came out in June, now is the time to
get some of those items, because now until September 16th I’m
offering a bunch of extra freebies to the first 10 people who place $250 orders
in product!
Once 10
people place their $250 orders using the Host code, 3 of them will get to
choose a half price item for a current product found in the Holiday or Annual
Catalog, 7 of them will get to choose $45 in FREE product, and once all the
orders and Stampin’ Rewards are claimed, all 10 names will be entered into a
$250 Stampin’ Up! shopping spree!!! Yes, that right! Another $250 to spend on
your favorite Stampin’ Up! products.
Here are the
details:
When ordering Online you must be sure
to use Host Code EFXCZ934.
Failure to use the Host Code means
your order will not count in the 10 and you will receive just the $25 Stampin’
Rewards instead of the $45 or ½ price items.
Can you imagine what you could get with a $250 shopping spree?
Reward products can be chosen from
the current Annual and Holiday Catalogs.
When you
shop online, I will receive an email with your order total and you’ll get one
of the 10 spots. As soon as the 10 for 250 challenge is full, I will pick a
winner!
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Every year
Stampin’ Up! offers an amazing all expenses paid Incentive Trip to it’s Demonstrators
and their partners. This year it is to Maui. We earn the trip by earning Flex
Points. We earn these points by doing certain things all year including our
product sales, recruiting new team members, leading our teams, and participating
in promotions that Stampin’ Up! runs.
My long-term
goal has been to earn one of the Incentive trips for my husband and I. I’ve
been working so hard to try and achieve it over the past 5 years. I’m getting
closer by the day and wayyy ahead of where I was last year. I would truly love it
and it would make it extra special to achieve this trip during my 10th
Anniversary year with Stampin’ Up! and every single order you place counts.
That’s why I want to reward you in return for helping me!
Don’t forget,
what happens when 10 people place $250 orders with me?
3 people will receive ½ price items
7 people will receive an extra $45 in product for FREE
1 will receive an additional $250 Shopping Spree!
Update: 9/17 – promotion has been extended to September 30th
