HALLOWEEN WEB

The new Simply Scored by Stampin' Up! is amazing!  I love it!  I made my first rosette with it yesterday and it came out perfect on my first try.  I decided to use the rosette on this halloween card and added the spider from the Batty for You stamp set. I also used the textured impression Spider Web on the Whisper White card stock.

CHRISTMAS SHADOW BOX

I made this Christmas configuration-shadow box using little odds and ends that I've probably have had for years in my stamping room and never had a need for until now. I love how it turned out, and I think I might try making one for Halloween.

PUMPKIN CANDY BOXES

These pumpkin boxes are made using the mini pizza box template.  These are perfect for holding little bags of candy corn or other treats for Halloween.  

THIS IS AUTUMN SPLENDOR

 I cased this beautiful card from ..........?........, I'm sorry I forgot who you are, but if anyone can let me know I will give her full credit for this amazing creation.  I absolutely love the Gently Falling stamp set and I can't quit making cards using it.  I made this card to give to my sister for her October birthday this friday. 

FRUITS & FLOWERS

 This is a set of cards I made at Stampcation using the new Fruits & Flowers stamp set and the Berry Blossoms designer series paper.  These can both be seen on page 99 of the Stampin' Up! catalog.  Two of the cards were made using the new Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die.  These were fun cards to make and simple and easy to do.

GENTLY FALLING AUTUMN CARD

The Gently Falling stamp set from the new Holiday Mini catalog could quite possibly be my very favorite stamp set out of the entire catalog.  I love this set as there are so many possibilities for it.  On this card I stamped the leaves with Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Pear Pizzazz ink. The designer paper is from the Spice Cake DSP.  I added a piece of the new Quilted Satin Ribbon, and tied the embossed leaves with Baker's Twine.  A perfect and easy card for the upcoming holidays.

JACK OF ALL TRADES

Jack of All Trades is a new halloween stamp set in the 2011-2012 catalog.  Page 26.  The line of pumpkins at the top are from the new Scaredy Cat stamp set on page 23.  This is such a fun set because everything is interchangeable.  The pumpkins can also be used for Thanksgiving by leaving the Jack-o-lantern face off.

STAMPCATION

Stampcation was so much fun!!  Here are a few pictures I took of some of the fabulous and creative displays that were set up through out the room.  Most everything was made using Stampin' Up! products.

JUST BELIEVE

Last weekend I attended Stampcation, a two day stamping event hosted by Linda Heller and this is just one of the many cards we made.  I used the Just Believe stamp set, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake card stock.  The Boho Blossom punch made the little additional flowers.
