Holiday Home 01

Here’s another Halloween idea using Karen Burniston’s House Pivot die and Stampin Up’s Holiday Home.  The tree and clouds are from Karen’s Garden Bench set.  (The clouds are really suppose to be snow)

The sentiment inside is from Ghoulish Greetings.  Lots of black – making it hard to see the details in the photograph.

Poppy 05

Here’s Poppy hanging out for Karen Burniston’s September Challenge!  He’s sitting on an Oval Accordion die just waiting for the fun to begin!  The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Tee Hee Hee and it says “People call me a witch…..like it’s a bad thing.”  Too funny!  I used Karen’s Cloud Edges die for the edges.

Tee Hee Hee 01

It suddenly turned Fall around here this weekend!  A perfect time for Karen Burniston’s Halloween challenge – and a great time to start creating those spooky creations.  I used the Accordion Circle  die with the solid edge and the new Tee Hee Hee set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini.  On the front, the cauldron, bubbling away. (Those bubbles are some old floral/vase fillers)

Do you think the witch was doing her laundry before the big day?  Or just conjuring up her spooky attire?

Larger Than Life 03

How about a little Halloween Gift box that spells out “Boo” as you turn it?  Easy, easy to make with the new Gift Box punch board and the Larger Than Life stamp set!

Larger Than Life 04

On the 4th side I added the skeleton from Freaky Friends –

Larger Than Life 05

I did the images in White Craft ink – and I think the next time I’ll emboss them so they stand out even more. But it’s a cute, fast idea for small candies and I’m going to need a few of them.  Hugs, Fran

Santa Stache 01

Holiday Mini fun!  When I first saw this set – Santa Stache – I wasn’t sure what I thought! After a bit of playing around with the set and matching mustache die, I think it’s fun!  So here is a case of the catalog sample with a few changes using the set, die and blendabilities.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Santa Stache, Christmas Bliss

Card stock – Whisper White, Under the Tree DSP

Ink – Memento Tux Black, Cherry Cobbler

Etc – Mustache die, Cherry Cobbler and skin tone Blendabilities

This is the reverse of what usually happens to me.  Usually I love a set and then can’t figure out how to use it – so I’m happy!  Hugs, Fran

Wondrous Wreath 01

Here’s a project that I did for the Splitcoast Creative Crew 🙂  The challenge is for the Scrapbook and More Focus: Make a treat and package it. Come play with us!

I used Wondrous Wreath and the new Cafe Bags to make this.  First I ran the bag through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain embossing folder then I stamped the wreath. I punched a tiny hole using the smallest hand held punch to attach the Wooden Essential leaf. All the supplies are listed here.

Wondrous Wreath has a matching die set and markers on the stamps so you can line them up.  It’s very easy to do.  The tag on the bag was made with For All Things which is a beautiful Fall set.  You can play along with all the challenges this month by heading here –

Get Your Santa On 01

Today’s the day you can start ordering from the Holiday Mini!  The Gift Box Punch Board (135863) is my favorite product in the catalog.  Here is a little box made with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper and Get Your Santa on stamp set for the tag.  I used the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color the Santa and Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the “JOY” banner.  Tied up with new Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, you have a sweet package to hold your gift!  Have fun making your Holiday Mini List and checking it twice!  Your package is sure to be nice 🙂  Hugs, Fran

This card is based on the card in the Holiday Mini on page 46.  That card has an envelope behind it but I added the color to the front.  Then I decided to mix it up a bit –

Ornamental Pine 01

Isn’t this a pretty stamp set?  It’s called Ornamental Pine and will be available in two days in the Holiday Mini!  I used Lost Lagoon as the base, stamped the background with the pine several times and then embossed the pine and pinecone in white embossing powder.  To finish it off, I sprayed the entire card with shimmer spray.

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Ornamental Pine

Card stock – Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Brushed Silver

Ink – Versamark, Lost Lagoon, Cherry Cobbler

Etc – white embossing powder, silver ribbon, shimmer spray

I think this will be one of my favorite stamp sets this season.  Hugs, Fran

25 Days 01

Thinking about Christmas?  Or how about a birthday party?  These little Tiny Treat Boxes (135829) are 2 x 2 x 2 and can be used for lots of things.  Here I simply copied the idea on page 12 of the Holiday Mini.  I used the 25 Days stamp set and stacked them into a tree.  But I see lots of ideas for the boxes and stamp set.  This will be a great set for Project Life!  But for this project – it’s a Count Down to Christmas.  Now I have plenty of time to find things to fill it 🙂  Hugs, Fran
