The elements on this card we received at convention this year for a make and take that I did not complete so I thought I would use them on this card. The DSP is from the paper stack for in-colors 2016 and the large pennant background is from the Bigz Die Party Pennants. The sentiment is from the hostess set, Good Greetings, available with a $300 workshop order. Ask me how you can get this set FREE.
Don’t the colors in this DSP remind you of Fall? The DSP is called Color Me Autumn and can be found in the Holiday catalog page 41. I used washi tape, buttons, and the sentiment from For All Things, all found on same page. That stamp set reminds me a lot of the set “Work of Art”. How about you?
I originally purchased this set to use at Christmas but then I thought it was great for Halloween. Just changing out a spooky sky surrounding the houses and adding the ghost an bats (also in the set) did the trick. Don’t you agree? This set is so versatile. Not only does it have wonderful images but it has all the sentiments too. In addition, you can get 15% off by purchasing this set along with the matching framelits, which I used to cut out the houses. See page 16 in the Holiday catalog for all the details.
I created this card using the stamp set Holiday Invitation found on page 49 of the Holiday catalog. This is a fantastic set if you are thinking of hosting parties through out the Holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, using Celebrate you can even include birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Christenings, etc. I used the DSP from Color me Autumn (page 41) and the new lace trim found in the big catalog.
I love this stamp set (page 45). It is so cool. I love using it with the stamp set Tee-Hee-Hee (page 47). Both sets have some incredible images and the sentiments are hilarious! Perfect sets if you are into Halloween!

I love this stamp set. It is so easy to color and has beautiful sentiments. This set is in the Holiday catalog on page 26. I used the aqua painter with our classic ink in real red and crumb cake, so easy. This was one of the cards we made at our Christmas in August class.
I made this with the stamp set Mingle all the way (page 17) and Fall Fest (page 46) in the Holiday catalog. In addition, I used the Fun Fall framelits (page 46) to cut out the pumkins and the ghost. You can save 15% by purchasing both the stamp set and framelits together #135856, $24.95. You can really have some fun with this and it isn’t only for Halloween but the leaves can be used through out the fall. I used the set Tee-Hee-Hee (page 47) for the bat and EEK! I cut the legs on the bottom of the card using the punch Decorative label found on page 220 of the big catalog.
I absolutely love this stamp set found on page 18 of the Holiday catalog. It is called Santa Stache. It coordinates with the mustache framelit die found in the Big catalog, page 230. This time I used the gold marker and gold foil card stock. I used the Noel framelit from the set Wonderful Wreath for the sentiment, even thou the stamp set itself has some great sentiments. In my opinion, I think the Holiday catalog is the best ever that SU has come out with. So many framelits to match stamps, and so many great sentiments with our stamps.
I made this card with the DSP paper stack, Trim the Tree found on page 7. In addition, I used some of the stitched stars from a previous paper pumpkin. I thought it went well with the paper and the focal point which is cut out with the framelit Star dies in the Big catalog page 231. If you surf the internet you will find so many creative items made with these framelits. I used the embossing folder, Lucky Stars page 30.
The nice thing about paper pumpkin is that you always have left overs after you make the projects to use on something else.
I brayered the sky on this card and used the set Fall Fest with matching framelits found on page 46 of the Holiday Catalog. The sentiment is from the set For All Things, page 41. I also used the White and tangerine tango two-toned trim found on page 45.
This single stamp has been really popular on the internet. If you remember the last time I posted it I did it in non-traditional Christmas colors. Well this time I used the traditional colors and used the beautiful DSP found on page 22. In addition I used the Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta ribbon, although my camera doesn’t do it justice, it does truly match the card in real life. Blaming it on the camera again. The sentiment is from Endless Wishes found on page 32.
I did use our aqua painters with our classic pads on Watercolor paper and our white gel pen for accent.
I love that this set (page 42) comes with matching framelits. You can get the bundle at a 15% discount. I used the washi tape on page 22 and 41 on this card.
The sentiment is from Good Greetings and with a $300 workshop or party you can get this set FREE. Contact me and I will send you out a flyer with all the details. I hand drew the outline with one of our Project Life Journaling pens.

I know this is the time of the year that we (demonstrators) should be showing fall stuff but I hate to see the summer go. It is my favorite time of the year. Posting all these Halloween cards and Thanksgiving cards tells me it time to let it go. Boohoo! Well, as long as the weather stays nice and warm here in SC, I guess I am ok with it! LOL
This uses the set Seasonally Scattered on page 43 of the Holiday catalog and the leaves (For all Things, page 41) are canvas that I sponged with Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, and Rich Razzelberry. I fussy cut with the leaves and added some shredded burlap ribbon. The DSP is Color me Autumn on page 41.
These little guys were created with the new Fall Fun Framelits found on page 46 of the Holiday catalog. By now you have all rec’d that wonderful collection of stamps and accessories. The eyes of the ghosts are stamped with the set Freaky Friends on page 45 and the sentiment is from Mingle all the Way on page 17. The bat is from a retired punch that was on the clearance rack.
OOPS! just noticed that the date on my watermark is 2104. Hah! I should live so long! LOL
I know you have been wondering where have the daily posts been these last couple of days…..right? Well, Patti has been trying to get over an infection that was resistant to two different antibiotics and finally by yesterday morning, the doctor prescribed something that finally started to kick in. I ran a low grade fever for about 5 days and was in severe pain that totally put me out of the picture. But thanks to a new drug, I am starting to feel a little back to normal.
I will be posting some new cards as soon as I can take pictures of them. Maybe this afternoon I can at least post one. Thanks for being so patient with me and hang in there friends! You know the older we get, the longer it takes to recover.
I stamped this card with the set Endless Wishes and I used the new Washi tape, All is Calm, found on page 22 of the holiday catalog. The sentiment was cut out with the big shot and new framelits Wonderful Wreath (found on page 9) on silver Foil card stock.
I love using our new sequins with the cards I create. It adds another dimension, don’t you agree? You can find the sequins on page 208 in the Big catalog. I used the end piece from the burlap ribbon for the rope. In addition, I used the DSP Confetti Celebration found on page 186.
I sure used a lot of Glam on this card. Gold embossing, gold sequin trim along with the gold Fancy Foil DSP Vellum, gold foil card stock and metallic Gold card stock for the base card. WOW that’s a lot of GOLD!
The Stamp set is Cheerful Christmas found on page 15 of the Holiday catalog and the sentiment is from Endless Wishes on page 32. Do you remember last Christmas that Endless Wishes sold out in a matter of days. Well it was so popular that SU decided to bring it back and I am so glad they did. It is an awesome stamp set with beautiful fonts and images.

I rec’d this card as a swap from Laura Fernsler and I just loved it. I do not own the stamp that she used for the back ground which was Flowering Flourishes so I substituted Everything Eleanor for my background. We made this card at my hostess appreciation party and everyone loved it. Thanks to Laura for her inspiration!
Ok you are wondering “How come Melon Mambo for Christmas” right? Well, I just wanted to switch it up a bit and also remind those of you that have not signed up for my class this Saturday, you still have time. Deadline is Thursday!
I water colored this with aqua painters using Melon Mambo, and Old Olive on water color paper. In addition, I used the white gel pen for effects. The sentiment is from the Project Life set, Holiday Cheer, found on page 35 of the Holiday catalog.
One of the perks of using Stampin’Up!© products is that our catalogs are loaded with ideas. For example, I cased this directly from page 47 in the Holiday Catalog. So easy and so much fun. A real no brainer! You can start ordering from this catalog on the 28th and I have heard from y’all that you have already rec’d yours in the mail. Don’t you agree it is the best Holiday catty yet?
I love this photopolymer stamp set, Tee-Hee-Hee, found on page 47 of the Holiday catalog. You can create all different cards from this one set because it has so many images. One of my faves for Halloween! I used the DSP Typeset for the background and that can be found in the Big catalog.
This is another card I created from the Yee-Haw stamp set. This is a great masculine card but it can also be used for a little boy. I am having a ball playing with this set.
I love this new Photpolymer stamp set that was just released by SU. It is so awesome! It contains 25 stamps. I will be posting a few of these in the next week or so that I designed. This one is great for a little girl. The face is from another Photopolymer set call Sweetie Pie. Hope you like it!
Most of you have rec’d your new Holiday catalog and I am sure you are loving it! This card was created with the set White Christmas. I used both the white gel pen and the chalk marker on Night of Navy card stock. I colored the card and tree after I applied the white chalk. No embossing was used on this card.
It is really hard to tell by this picture, because I couldn’t get the camera to cooperate, but the colors are Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky. I colored the Glimmer paper with Pear Pizzazz but it looks darker in the picture that it really is. I also used the new beautiful Lost Lagoon silky taffeta ribbon. This is one of those cards you need to see in person. I used the sentiment from Endless Wishes and cut out the tree with our new Tree punch.

Are you thinking that you want to beat the rush this Holiday season, get your cards done early and out of the way so all you have to do is put the stamp on the envelope and shoot it in the mail box? Well, you can if you attend my Class on Sunday, the 30th of August. We will be making 5 different cards to get you started. We have the most beautiful stamps in this year’s Holiday catalog. If you are a regular you will be receiving one in the mail very shortly. If not, contact me here to get one. Registration required and seating is limited.
I will be posting some Christmas cards, in the following 2 weeks, before the class, so you can get an idea of some of the stamps we will be using (not necessarily the cards we will be making, but definitely some of the stamps).
You will be able to purchase this stamp set on August 28th, the first day that you can order from the new Holiday catalog. Wait till you see that catalog. It just blew me away and you will be receiving yours soon.
I had all I could do NOT to order everything in it during the pre-order period for demos. Of course, I did purchase some of them available at convention so I really had a head start to get used to them. If you like the set “Work of Art”, you will love this. I cased this card and envelope, directly from the magazine called “Stamping Success” that is for Demonstrators only.
I love this new DSP Flashback. It goes great with our single stamp found on pg 167 of the big catalog. I used Crystal Effects on the lens and our new blendabilities, Cherry Cobbler and Smokie Slate, to color the camera. The sentiment is from Hip Notes. So Cool!
This is one of the cards we will be making at the hostess appreciation party. That is a fun event that I have for all the wonderful Hostesses that have held parties at their homes, did a book party, were a regular member of one of my clubs, or is an active Paper Pumpkin subscriber for the last year (current year starts all over in August this year).
This is a blast and we have the best time. Free prizes, food & beverages, make & takes and everyone going home with something fun. If you would like to be included next year, you can host a workshop in your home, or qualify for any of the ways above to earn an invitation. We would love to have you.
