How funny! Check out the rhinestones in the center of these ornaments! Some of them have moved 
And I didn’t even notice it until now. Well – I’d suggest you put the rhinestones in the center of the ornaments instead of willy nilly all over the card!

A Fall Pop N Cuts card! For the front of this card I used pieces from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit in the Holiday Mini and some Sweater Weather Designer Series paper.
The inside is a Thanksgiving/friendship scene featuring my favorite Dress Form insert.
The banner was made in MDS 2 and the mirror is Label Love with the matching punch and a little bit of silver foil paper for the inside. Her tablecloth is a Doily.
The turkey is a small oval punch with Build a Blossom legs. It sits on a circle punch serving platter. The bowls of cranberries and green beans are also the small oval punch with scallop punches for the cranberries.
The rug is a Sizzix embossing folder designed by Karen Burniston – works great here!

The coffee cups are paper pieced – so easy to do with this stamp! The gift card is tucked inside a little envelope – closed with a Flower Shop flower. The Label insert is perfect for so many things. It’s easy to dress up with just about any stamp set – and there are sets designed to fit it exactly.

Pop N Cuts! My favorite Here’s a Christmas card using the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base die and Label insert. I decorated the outside with Calm Christmas – the dove embossed in silver embossing powder.
On the inside I used Christmas Collectibles and a single stamp – Prince of Peace. This set goes with the Deco Label Framelits so it works perfectly with the Label insert.
To get the different colors on the stamp, I inked it up in Pool Party and then went over the selected words with an Island Indigo Stampin Write Marker. The ornaments were stamped twice – once in Versamark and embossed in silver and once in Bermuda Bay to punch for the centers. The ornament lines and accents on the card were cut from the new Silver Foil card stock – so pretty! The sentiment on the Whisper White piece is half of the sentiment from Calm Christmas – embossed in silver.

Spooky, spooky! These little treat bags are made from the Mini Muslin bags in the Holiday Mini (132180) I used the Banner Simply Created Kit (132699) dotted stencil, Classic ink and a sponge dauber to make the polka dots.
On this one I applied a very retired rub on – and that worked great! Fun way to use up some these left over pieces
For this one I used the retired bat punch and punched it out 8 times. I glued a tiny piece of ribbon between the pieces so it can hand from the tie.
The bag on the left uses Basic Black and Tangerine Tango. For the one on the right I switched to Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black. Here’s a hint for working with the stencils – spray the backs with spray adhesive. Then I store them on window sheets. This really helps keep them down while working. I have tried spritzers, daubers and sponges to apply the color – and my preference is daubers.
Can you tell I’m cleaning out my craft room? We’re having a stamping garage sale September 13 and 14 and I’m trying to clear things out – and find myself ending up creating with the stuff I’m uncovering!! Hugs, Fran
This little 4 x 4 tag has Rudolph throwing snowballs. I stamped the image twice and punch a Window punch between his hands on one image. Then I layered an embossed circle on a penny and made a spinner. It slides between his two hands

Here’s an easy Flip card with Santa staring as the main guy for the season. I used the Santa from Color Me Christmas, colored him with Stampin Write Markers and punched him out for the circle center of this Thinlit set. The HO 3 is from A Banner Christmas. But the Chevrons are the chevron punch – there are chevrons in the set; I just wanted to see the difference using the punch. They are much bigger!
The sentiment is a single stamp that coordinates with the photo cards in the Holiday Mini. And since I didn’t mention it last time – the chevrons have a piece of Real Red behind them. (Thanks, Leeca!)

While I still had Color Me Christmas out on my desk, I thought I’d try something different with the present stamp and the new Thinlit Label die. (133479) It didn’t turn out exactly has I saw it in my mind – but you get the idea! I love the greeting and sentiment from Christmas Messages ( 131790/ 131793). Using the Stamp a Ma Jig, I stamped presents across the bottom. Did you know that the label framelit in the Thinlit set works with the Label Framelit set in the big catalog? It is perfect for layering!
Next time I’ll try to line it up so that I don’t have a half package showing when the card is folded – but for now, this is it

Team meeting today and I can’t wait to stamp with friends! Hugs, Fran
I need a card to go with my Halloween suite of projects – don’t you agree? I had to use my exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert because it’s my favorite! I love the closure on the base – and I love how it shows just a peek of the paper inside. This paper from Witches’ Brew is the easiest paper in the world to create a card. I didn’t have to do a thing! The design on the paper made a perfect base for what I had in mind.
I just punched out this “warning” and adhered it to the funny witches’ menu style paper, added a strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock and that was that.
So here she is – making potions! She has her spell book, hat, candle, wand, broom and cauldron. She is ready to cast some spells!
I added googlie eyes across the top the card. There are weird little dots on the paper – I just filled them with eyes. I also added some glitter stars so she’d have a bit more sparkle. One of the papers in Witches’ Brew looks like book paper so it made a perfect spell book. The witches hat has an Orange Stampin Glitter band.
To make her dress, I cut off the top of a Dress Form Framelit with the Full Heart punch and added the ears from the Owl Builder to the shoulders. Then I covered the entire piece with Two Way glue and Black Stampin Glitter. I had one star left so I adorned her top with that. Her necklace is pearls colored with a Sharpie Marker. For the skirt, I traced the skirt and made it longer then free-hand cut the edge. The cauldron is a 1 1/2″ circle punch cut straight across the top. The feet on the cauldron are another Dress Form Framelit bottom – just snipped to fit behind the cauldron.
Then I embossed across the top using the Delicate Design embossing folder. I covered it with Dazzling Details. The foam in the cauldron is vellum card stock brayered in Pear Pizazz and accented with pearls and more Dazzling Details.
