poppystamps Whittle Napping Cat Hello Fall Card…

Hello with a cat going postal today!  I love the Memory Box double sided plaid papers so I started there with this card die cutting the poppystamps Large Stitched Envelope and Postage.  Kinda unusual colors for Fall  but I tried! lol

This piece of plaid is from the Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad.

I die cut the Leafy Vine Corner die by poppystamps from kraft and light green cardstock.  I just clipped the kraft apart with a scissors at the corner for the stems coming out of the envelope and cut the leaves off the light green die cut and glued them to the kraft cardstock stems.

The Whittle Napping Cat is die cut in kraft and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool. I glued a little square of black cardstock behind the nose.

It’s a top folding A2 size cardbase using TE cardstock.  A rectangle panel glued on, kraft color cord tied around and knotted.

I mounted the envelope with the thin foam mounting tape I love so well.  I use the scissors linked below to cut it.  It’s sticky but so great for adhering and mailing!

I die cut the two postage stamps from the TE cardstock also.  Scribble a little black on them…

That’s pretty much it!  I can see this envelope used in so many ways!  I almost started over but thought, I’ll use it again later for another occasion!

Oh… I used the outline part of the Hello Moonlight Script die set for the sentiment.  Die cut in gold foil cardstock.  Love that stuff!

Thanks for coming over to see what I’ve been up to!  Well, I didn’t post that I rearranged my kitchen counter this morning! lol  Do you do this too when you get a new appliance?  My thoughts are what can I get rid of! haha  Big old house but small kitchen, which I’m glad it’s small until all the family is home for Christmas! lol  We manage!

talk to you again soon!  Lots of NEW coming!  Suspense!  It’s good!!!!

Spellbinders Sealed Christmas Sprigs Card…

Hi everyone!  The dies I used on my card today are part of the NEW Spellbinders Sealed For Christmas Release.   I don’t have the wax seals but I was able to use this fun foliage and floral die set anyway and used one of the Make it Merry Sentiment Banner dies. Three banners in the set, Jingle All the Way, Make It Merry and the one I used, ‘Tis the Season.

I foiled the Plaid Tidings Hot Foil Plate on a white panel for the background and edged it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

I die cut the twigs a few times and placed them where I liked the arrangement, picked them up with Press n Seal, put mounting foam on the back (the thin stuff I like), turned it over and hovered over my front panel and then stuck it where I liked it!

Added the sentiment, Layered on red cardstock and then teal cardstock.

This is closer to an A7 size card than an A2.  The plaid foiled panel is A2 size.  It will fit in an A7 envelope and mail for one stamp!

I like it a lot!  I love these colors together.  Next time I would make the panel smaller and keep it to an A2 size card.  They’re easier to take pictures of! lol

Half way through September….I know I’m always saying this but I can’t believe it!  We’ll just keep making and hope we’re ready for the holidays, right?!  After all it’s people that are the most important!

I’ll be back with the cutest little ornaments I’m making soon!

Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box for STAMPtember!

It’s reveal time for the Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box Exclusive Collaboration in honor of STAMPtember!

Here’s my card…


Memory Box signature Magnolia images for this exclusive stamp and die set today!

I went with an easy to color method for this stamp set…then an easy to make cardbase too!

Memory Box 6×6 Magnolia Grove and Magnolia Plaid paper pads.  It’s hard to see the design in the base panel but it’s there and so pretty in real life!

I used a narrow strip of Gold Foil cardstock to accent the foiling in the paper.

It’s a mini slimline size, 3 x 6 inches this time.  It’s such a fun size… it feels feminine in my hand. lol

I stamped, cut the images out and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Seven sentiments in this set!  I love the font too!

I’m thinking you’ll recognize the Magnolia flowers from the Memory Box Magnolia Dies, Embossing Folders and paper pads release earlier this Summer.  This set is going to coordinate beautifully with them.

This stamp set is a one time offer just for STAMPtember!  So head to SSS and grab it before they sell out!

Shopping links below…Free shipping with the code FRSHP and a $25 order!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog for this special exclusive collaboration!

Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Blog Party! Cue the Confetti!

Happy Day!  It’s that time of the year when Simon Says Stamp has a BIG release, STAMPTEMBER!

I’m participating in the blog party that starts on the Simon Says Stamp blog, HERE.

I received the stamp set  ‘Cue the Confetti‘!  Super fun to stamp a one layer card and use a lot of the stamps in the set!

I stamped in black, masked using the reverse of the positive image to fill in the balloons with ink blending.  I used the positive mask of the balloon to stamp the confetti in the background.

Very fun, festive, cute sentiments in this set!  I found them very usable and I love the Big Happy Birthday for the inside! I also stamped it in color on the envelope.

I can also see these balloons and even some of the sentiments used for other occasions like retirement.  It’s all about you today.  There’s no such thing as too much happy! YAY!  And even Make it Epic!

It was fun to do stamping!  I do so much die cutting and gluing.

I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments and a clear block to stamp the balloons, confetti and sparkles.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have a banner to share with your for a great giveaway when you order today or tomorrow from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you enjoyed my celebratory card!

It’s Slim size and fits in a business size envelope.

Talk to you again soon and enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions.  I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys!  I’m glad they aren’t really scary.  (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time.  I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents.  I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows.  I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock.  Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set.  I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!
