Again I used the new Kraft CS and embossed it with the Lucky Stars EF, page 30 of the HC. I love our new 12X12 Under the Tree Specialty DSP, page 5. So elegant and really adds another dimension to this card. I used the Linen Thread and the Cherry Cobbler Linen Ribbon. The tree was cut out of glimmer paper with the Tree Punch found on page 24. The star was punched out with the Itty Bitty Accents punch Pack, page 222 in the Big catalog.

We made this at club last night. We also made 2 3D items, a shaker card and a Christmas Ornament for the tree. Great fun and so many laughs. Belonging to a club is fantastic! You not only get to make neat projects, on a monthly basis, but what really sets it apart is the life time relationships you develop by sharing what you love to do with others. I used the set Festival of Trees, page 24 of the Holiday catalog.
If you came to my camp yesterday you would have made this card along with other projects geared for the Holidays. These trees are embossed with various embossing folders from the gold foil card stock. To save as much card stock as possible the gold layer under the Night of navy with the trees was used to punch out the 3 trees. Then embossed. There was still enough of foil card stock left to slide under the Night of Navy layer. Sentiment if from the hostess set Good Greetings.
This was a card that we made at one of the club meetings. I used the DSP Motley Monsters and the sentiment is from Merry Everything, page 13 with the matching punch. Really easy card, only stampin is the sentiment. I used the sequins, ribbon & linen thread to embellish.
Here is another card using the For All Things set. The inks I used are soft Sky, Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey. In addition, card stock used was Whisper White, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sky. You can find this set on page 41 of the Holiday catalog. The twine is our burlap ribbon shredded. I like using it because it is a little thicker than our linen thread. I used the Note Tag Punch on page 13, to cut out the sentiment.
I sponged the DSP All is calm with Lost Lagoon and cut the tree out with our new Tree punch found on page 24 of the Holiday catalog. In addition I used the embossing folder On Point Textured Impressions for the background. Then I used matching DSP in back of that and our new washi tape that matches everything too. All of that can be found on page 22. The sentiment if from Project Life stamp set Holiday Cheer on page 35.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Another card created with the set Kinda Eclectic. This is turning out to be one of my faves. On this card, I used every image in the set. The colors I used were Garden Green, Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango. O used our punches to cut out the butterflies. Hope you like it. This set can be found on page 164 of the big catalog. If you haven’t received your copy of the catalog yet contact me HERE.
This is one of the cards we made at class on Wednesday. The sentiment is from the set Amazing Birthday found on page 48 of the big catalog. It is so versatile and many of the sentiments are great for masculine cards. All of the sentiments can be cut out with either framelits with the Big Shot or with our punches. Great set. I used our new In color sequin assortment on this card in addition to the glitter paper. The other images are from the set Zoo Babies.
Can you guess what I used for the background on this card? Well, it is from Project life. It is one of the cards in the set Everyday Adventure on page 189. I love the ombre look and the nice thing about these PL cards is that you can use them on greeting cards as well as your memory books. Lots of designs to choose from. I especially love this stamp set and try to use it as much as possible because it is so easy to create with it.
I used crystal effects on the typewriter from Tap Tap Tap and the Geometrical stamp set with it. In addition, I used the triangle punches and matched the colors to our new paper stack Moonlight on page 185 in the catalog.
This set called ‘Amazing Birthday’ is another set that we got FREE at convention. It is so versatile. You can use either punches or framelits with this card. I love the sentiments. If you are one of those crafters that surf the net for ideas, then I am sure you have seen a ton of cards made with this set. The DSP is from All Abloom paper stacks found on page 185.
I wanted to purchase this set right from the beginning but I knew it was one of the sets that SU was giving us FREE at convention so I held off. I have seen so many beautiful cards made with this set. You can find it on page 164 in the big catalog. I used Dazzling Details on the flower and punches on both the butterfly and flower. Great set!
I used crystal effects on this flower after I colored it with the Blendabilites. I really like the way it came out. This is another single stamp called Blended Bloom and can be found on page 167 in the catalog. This is a great stamp for learninghow to use the blendabilities. I also used the new washi tape Beach House found on page 190. So many beautiful things in the catalog. If you don’t have a catalog and want one, contact me here.
This is another card we made at club meeting. The DSP is the specialty paper ‘Typeset’ on page 184 in the catalog and the stamp is another single called Snapshot! We used blendabilities on the camera. This is one of 5 single stamps that were given to all attendees at convention. I already had one so I swapped this out with Mo an I took hers, she had the rocker that said ‘You Rock”.
This was one of the cards we made at the Friday night club. I love the new in-colors Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. The stamp is a single in the catalog called Bloom for You. We have the matching punches for this card.
This is another card I designed for the contest. And yes, I know it’s vintage again but look at all the cards I post that are NOT vintage. You know I have to throw these in every so often, right? Tell me you don’t love the coffee cup on page 37 of the BIG catalog! I think everyone can relate to that even if you are not a coffee lover! The sentiments that come with this image are awesome! In addition, I combined images from the set Clockworks found on page 109.
I love our new burlap ribbon. I frayed the edges on this to give it that distressed look. The stamp set I used is Truly Grateful from the new Holiday catalog.
You can now order this background stamp on page 23. I love Vintage…Really? Anyway, I am sure you will see me using this a lot. Do you agree that this card is perfect for a man?
Don’t throw out those little brad and button cases that you get. Turn them into little gift holders. This one I covered with washi tape and made the rose from our Blossom punch. Just put in a piece of jewelry, candy, or whatever. Too much fun to create.
Can you believe that this DSP I just ordered. What was I thinking? It should have been one of my first. It is so beautiful! The catalog just does not do justice to our beautiful papers. When I saw it used so much at convention I just knew I had to order it as soon as I got home and I did.
I used the Tag It Set for this card and the new Crisp Cantelope paper from Venetian Romance. OOPS! I just realized that my little rhinestone slipped on the You in the sentiment. I apologize for that. Today has been one of those days.LOL
Are you getting tired of Pistachio Pudding? I know this was not one of my favs when the new in-colors came out but I have grown to really like it. Love this set, ‘Wetlands’ too.
Remember I said that you can use the punched out pieces in another card? Well here they are. I used Epic Day This and That DSP also. The sentiment is from Yippee Skippee!
I love this new chevron punch. You can even use the pieces that have been punched out on another card (coming soon). I used a sanding block on the coordintaions midnight muse card stock. Love the effect you get with it.
This is a new embossing folder that will be in the new Holiday mini that will be released on August 1st. You should be getting a copy of this in your snail mailbox by the end of the month. Also, please note the new chevron punch, oh yeah…….totally awesome right?
BTW, Mo an I are leaving for Salt Lake City Today. We will return with lots of cool stuff to share with y’all!
This is a clean and simple card that we did at Hostess club this past week. I removed the gingham image from the wheel and added our Clear Mount Cling foam (pg 197) to create a stamp. Easy Peasy. Used Bermuda Bay for Card base, embellishments and ink.
I used the Venetian Romance DSP and Chalk Talk stamp set and framelits. In addition, I used Washi Tape and our new Chevron Basic Black Ribbon. I created the flower from our Creped Filter paper stamped with Flower Shop & punched with the new pansy punch.
I think it is hard to tell but the card stock that I used for the base is our new Smokey Slate. I also used it in the sentiment and in the flower embellishment. For some reason my camera hasn’t been taking very good pictures lately. Or maybe it’s the photographer (me) that doesn’t know how to use it. LOL
Love this stamp set, it is on page (82) in the new catalog.
I designed this card from a sample by another demonstrator who used the quatrefoil window sheet and DSP on her card in the manner that I cased below. However, I did change what went on the card. I wish I could remember her name so I could give her credit. Thank you for the inspiration.
This stamp is actually an image that I removed from the jumbo wheel (page 11) so that I could use it like a stamp and color the candles with our markers. Very easy to do and SU sells the Clear Mount Cling foam backing (page 197) to convert them. Notice the really cool image that you get by applying our foam to the back of the stamp.
I used our new Candy Dots on this card created with the stamp set “A Dozen Thoughts”. They come in all of our core colors. These are from the Brights and Neutrals. Incredibly well priced. I also used the beautiful Venetian Romance DSP.
