Best Witches & More

Posted on by

With the days shortening and the leaves beginning to turn Halloween isn’t far behind. So today I thought I would share some cute cards with you for the upcoming holiday. Did you know that Halloween is one of the biggest chocolate holidays of the year? Yep, and my hubby knows it since he was always checking those treats before our children could eat them to make sure they were safe. lol

This first card uses the fun Best Witches stamp set (159860).

Done in bold colors this card is sure to make someone smile. And this next card uses a fun technique with our Parakeet Party In Color Designer Series Paper (159253) called the Twisted Ribbon technique.

The Bewitching Bundle (159857) has a fun little Witch Hat Builder Punch (159856) that is part of it. I don’t know about you but when I see this punch I think of the Sorting Hat. Is it just me or have I watched Harry Potter too much?

Which either set you like, you’ll enjoy treating others with fun little projects this Halloween.

North Pole Mischief & More

Posted on by

Today’s cards are for the holidays and the products can be found in our July – December Mini Catalog. I’m starting with the North Pole Mischief stamp set (159770) as it is a wonderful set for the dog and cat lovers in our life, and well it’s just too cute!

See what I mean? Check out this fun fold card using the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913).

Did you notice the Host set in our Mini Catalog? The Caroling Mice stamp set (Host 159912) can be earned for free with a qualifying order or party.

Colored with our Watercolor Pencils aren’t they adorable? And for a non traditional holiday color palet check out this next card using the Spruced Up Bundle (159694) and Snowman Magic (159816).

This sentiment is so pretty on its own. Here it has been teamed up with the snowflake frame die from the Bundle (159818).

Speaking of snowflakes, this next card uses the Christmas Lights Bundle (159961) and teams it up with the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (159542).

Want a little bit of jingle to your holiday card making? This next card uses the fun Jingle, Jingle, Jingle stamp set (153438).

And for a bit of 3d fun check out this card and treat made with the Santa Express Suite of products (159597).

Love gnomes? How about this card created with the Kindest Gnomes Bundle (159616).

Don’t you love that our dies will cut out the images from the coordinating Designer Series Paper? Makes projects so quick and simple. And finally a lovely card made using the Christmas Scottie Bundle (159740)

Sunkissed & More

Posted on by

Today I’ve got some more cards for you from Back Stage’s Sweets & Swaps event and I thought I’d start with a lovely tropical all occasions set from the July – December Mini Catalog, Sunkissed (159908).

This set is filled with lovely sketched images that can be used with all kinds of coloring techniques and can be teamed up with our Paradise Palms stamp set (157716) and coordinating Palms dies (157718) for even more options. Check out this card that uses our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) to add color to the stamped image.

This next card uses those same Palm Dies to create this lovely silhouette image that has been teamed up with the sentiment from Sunkissed.

Texture has been added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder (156505) and a bit more with the stitched edges on the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183). And take a look at this striking card that uses our Blending Brushes (153611) to create a wonderful back drop for the sentiment.

The Heron Habitat Bundle (158897) is quite striking done in the Starry Night , Bermuda Bay, and Granny Apple Green Combination. And can you see the texture behind the Deckled Rectangle Die (159173) and Stitched Rectangle Die (151820) frame that has been created with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317)?

If you haven’t noticed the Season of Chic stamp set (158810) in our Annual Catalog you might want to check it out since this Suite of products (158819) covers all four seasons in one stamp set and with it’s gold foiling it is quick striking.

These next 5 cards all use the Nature’s Prints Bundle (158801) that is one of my favorite Suites (158805) in the Annual Catalog. Not only are the sentiments done in a lovely font, but its an all occasion set with lovely images too that are perfect for all kinds of cards. This first card is soft and sweet and done in shades of Gray Granite and Blushing Bride.

This next card has an autumnal feel to it due to the color choice.

And this next one highlights 2 of our 2021-2023 In Colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.

Want a bold look how about this one done in Sahara Sand and Blackberry Bliss?

Or a bold color block look?

Isn’t it wonderful just how you can change the feel and look simply by changing up the colors you choose? It’s one of the things I love about stamping!

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some of the holiday cards I received.

Hello Harvest & Back Stage Swapping Fun!

Posted on by

Today’s cards are all swaps that I received during the New Orleans Back Stage event last month. What fun I had swapping during the event. I cant wait to share them with you this week, so stop back by to see more fun swaps!

This first group of cards is made with the Hello Harvest Bundle (159644) and the Rustic Harvest Suite (159648) of products. The colors are rich and will be found in our landscape over the next few weeks as the days shorten. The yellows have already started popping up here in North Georgia.

And if you haven’t already seen the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (159847) you’ll want to be sure to check it out. I almost missed it in the Mini (page 53).

It’s been used to add texture to these first three cards.

And this next card is made with the Soft Seedlings stamp set (159905).

It’s got a fun soft look to it – water drops have been added after the leaves have been stamped using our Water Painter (151298). And this final fall card uses the die cut image from the Perched in a Tree Bundle (159799). While it is currently on back order it will be available to order again around the 26th of September, in plenty of time to start creating for the holiday season!

How about a little Halloween fun? Here are two cards made with the Best Witches (159860) and Bewitching stamp sets (159855).

The Witch Hat Builder Punch (159856) is so much fun.

Stop back by again tomorrow when I’ll be sharing more fun swaps with you!
