Mocha Gently Falling Leaves

We made this card at my Stamp a Stack last weekend.  We heat embossed the leaves in gold EP.  I love the elegance of the Mocha Moring DSP.  Thanks for looking.

Gently Falling circle card

Here is one of the cards we made at my Stamp a Stack last weekend.   The card on the left is what it looks like opened.  It would make a cute wall hanging.  

Framed Spice Cake

These beautiful flowers were made by fussy cutting the floral paper in the Spice Cake DSP pack.  I love the look of the oval frame cut from the frame embossing folder by Stampin Up!  I CASEd this idea from Ann Schach over at www.stampichic.com.  She has a great blog.  You should check it out.

More accordian fold medallions

I created this Thanksgiving table decoration with medallions using the Spice Cake DSP and coordinating buttons.  I used an empty nut can.  Thanks for looking! I also posted on youhadmeatcraft.com

Medallion leaf card

I had been wanting to try out the new DSP medallions that I have been seeing everywhere so I designed this card for my Stamp a Stack.  The green DSP is also from the Spice Cake DSP pack.  That is my all time favorite Designer Series Paper!!

Pumpkin goodie box

Here is a cute little pumpkin treat box we made at my Stamp a Stack on Saturday.  So simple and so cute!

I don't have anything new to show since I have been away from stamping for the past week.  But I did find this cute owl birthday card awhile back made by Kymberli Zwahlen that I wanted to share with you.  It is an easel card.  I can't belieive how versatile that owl punch is!

Happy Owl

At first I didn't really like the owl punch but he is really growing on me!  I loved adding the little wings.  Makes him (her?) look happy.  :-)  Thanks for looking!!

I used the Owl Builder Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Word Window Punch, Nursery Nest DSP,  Whisper White Cardstock,  Marina Mist satin ribbon, Pear Pizazz ink, Sentiment is from Delightful Dozen stamp set.

Holiday Mini Catalog!

The Stampin' Up! holiday mini catalog is online!  Start planning your holiday projects now!  There are some beautiful stamp sets to choose from.  And the Designer Series Paper is way cool.  There is a Very Vanilla velvet ribbon that I can't wait to get my hands on.  And some quilted ribbon in Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso that I just love!  And the stocking die is very fun too.   Go to www.stampinup.com to take a look.

Owl Wedding Card

I made this owl card for my friend who is getting married.  I used the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP.  I just love the elegance of this paper!  The black is actually flocked like velvet.  Very pretty.  And I think that  owl punch is so adorable!

It is hard to see but I used Crystal Effects on the eyes to give them a nice shine (and to keep the little black dot from falling off!)  I put tiny pearls on the dress and tiara and on his vest.  His bow tie is made with two hearts from the owl punch.  Her tiara is made with the Boho Blossoms punch.  On the brad I punched a circle from the owl punch and adhered it to the top of the brad and punched a little heart to attach to the top.

I like this card so much I decided we will be making it as one of the cards at my next Stamp a Stack coming up on Saturday September 24 at 10 am.  I only have 5 spots left so email me to RSVP.  The cost is $25 for 10 cards, lunch, door prizes, fun!!  Bring a friend who I did not invite and you BOTH get $5 off your class fee.  If you can't come but would like to order a card pack the cost of the pack is $25 plus $5 shipping if you need me to mail it to you.    Class fees are due September 17.

Candy Corn Door Prize

I made this candy corn jar for one of the door prizes at the Rubba Sistas Annual Fall Festival coming up on October 22.  I hope you are all making plans to attend.  Our spots are filling up so you should get your registration in soon!!  Contact me if you need more information on how to register!

I bought the candy jar at the Dollar Store and filled it with Candy Corn.  I dyed the Stampin Up black stripe grosgrain ribbon with Pumpkin Pie ink refill.  To make the candy corn embellishment I used the Owl Punch (see picture) and DSP.  I sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink.  I attached the candy corn embellishment to the bow with a little Vintage Trinkets safety pin.
