Howdy Folks. . .  Happy Wednesday.  I know my posts have
been a little sparatic but don't give up on me.  Let me assure you
that I am working hard.   I have scheduled three to four
craft fairs this fall and I am working hard on getting some
projects down.  I'm sharing one of them with you today.

My frist craft show is October 27th at Francis Howell Central
and I have been working on some Halloween items.  This is just one
of my treat bags.  I'm having to play this by ear I don't want to make
a lot of product and get stuck with it so I'm making just a handfull
of each item.  As I've mentioned before if you see something you
like I do take custom orders.

I used a white paper sack.  It measures approx 3 3/8 x
6 3/4.  You can get them at any of the big box stores.  They
come in brown as well.  Sometimes the white is hard to
get.  I layered it with a piece of Basic Black and matted it
with a piece of designer paper from the Neutral Designer
Series Paper Pack (117157).  Then I cut a strip and used
some decorative scissors on the edges. 

I used our duo, the Extra Large Tag (119866) and its
coordinating Small Tag which is retired.  I extended the
length of my strip by cutting it so fit inside the punch and
inserted it from the top.  This gives you the tag portion and
you can then cut it to any length. A picture is worth a thousands
words so I've attached a picture for you to see what I mean.

My stamp set is the adorable Spooky Bingo Bits (W123944/
C123946) found on pg 29 of your catty.  My Happy Halloween
comes from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes (W115370/C127802).
I used our Word Window Punch (119857) and the Modern
Label punch (119849)

For my treat bag I used one of our large cello bags (not sure
if we sell them anymore) and tied it with some of the retired
1 1/4" Stripped Grosgrain Ribbon.  Love that ribbon I sure
do miss it. 

I would like to dress this up just a little more by putting some
orange and black curly paper strips in it.  That will dress it up
just perfect..

Well that's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by.  If you would
like to make some of these yourself and need supplies please
shop in my ON LINE STORE 24/7.  If you have any questions
about today's post or just want to ask a question, I'm always
here to help.  Have a wonderful day and Happy Stamping!

Howdy Folks. . .  Happy Monday, hope you had a fantastic week
end. 

I've just received our club order for the month and with it I got
some new rubba.  It's called Serene Silhouetts (W127322/
C127324).  It was one of my first picks from the new catalog
but I'm just know getting around to it.

My layout is one you have probably seen before.  I found it
over on Mary Brown's site StamperCamper.  My cardbase
is Whisper White, layered with a piece of Basic Black and
layered again with So Saffron embossed with the Elegant
Bouquet Folder #115964.  Don't you just love it!!!!  My next
layer is Basic Black again but this one is topped with a piece
of designer paper from Summer Smooches #125409.  I inked
the flowers in Basic Black for a silhouett look, added some
small pearls #119247 to make it look a little extra special.
My sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners (W126255/C126257).
I also used the matching die cut Bitty Banners Framelits
#129267 for the perfect cut.  Love it!!!!

TIP:  I left the inside blank.  This way I can use this card in
many ways and I'll have something ready when the need arises.

I hope I have sparked your imagination and will get your
fingers inked up today.  To order Stampin' Up supplies for this
card or any other project please shop in my ON LINE STORE
 24/7 or email me directly.  I love being your demonstrator and
I'm here to help .

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a super duper day.  Until
next time.  Toodles

Hello Folks. . .  today I have something a little different.  The colors
make me smile.  I did make it a birthday card but actually you can
put any kind of sentiment on it and really put a smile on someone's
face. Now for the deets.

First let me give credit.  I was inspired by a card that was done by
Mellisa Phillps.  I love the window look of it.  My cardbase is whisper
White, topped with a piece of designer paper frrom International
Bazaar #126920 in Pacific Point and coordinates with another piece of
Tangerine Tango.  What a great designer pack of paper, just rich
fall colors.  I used my nesties to die cut the square opening.

I used several stamp sets, first my focal point is From My Heart
(W126555/C126557) stamped in Pacific Point ink and the flower
comes from Button Buddies (W122735/C122737) inked with
Tangering Tango.  I stamped it three times and cut each layer out.

For a little something at the top I used our Boho Blossoms Punch
#119858 and added some pearls for the centers.  For my pretties
I added some Calypso Coral Baker's Twine #125573, and Old Olive
5/8" Satin ribbon for the leaves adhered with dimensiionals.

On the inside I made is a birthday card and used or Curly Cute set
(W117014/C120510).

How long as it been since you put a smile on someone's face by
sending them a card.  Do it today!!!

I would love to be your demonstrator.  To order Stampin' Up
supplies please shop at my ON LINE STORE 24/7 or you can

Hello Folks and Happy Monday to ya.  Today I have a very cute
Christmas card to share.  It's funny how these things come together.
This card came together in my sleep.  Do you ever wake up early
in the morning and your mind is just racing with ideas.  Wells that's
how this one came to be.

My card base is Whisper White.  I like using white as a base because
it saves you money in the long run.  White provides a perfect backdrop
for the inside of your card and saves you from adding an addition
piece of paper.  Good idea hey.

I layered my base with a piece of Basic Black, added another layer of
Cherry Cobbler.  On top of that I used some of our new designer paper
called Candlelight Christmas Speciality Desiger Serieis Paper
from the Holiday Mini #126901.  The green is Lucky Limeade, isn't
is just beautiful.  I didn't like the open space of the red so I decided to
give it more depth by using our Square Lactice Embossing Folder
#119976.  I love it!!! 

I used the whimsy stamp set No Peeking (W126290/C126292).  Actually
you could use any one of the four (4) stamp images and it would be
cute.  I thought for a little more pizzazz I would add a canopy look above
him.  This designer paper comes from Be of Good Cheer #126896 and
I also used our Scallop Trim Border Punch #118402.  It really does look
like a canopy.  My sentiment is from our Occasions Alphabet (W117090/
C123598.  Added a red brad and some pretty Certainly Celery Taffeta
Ribbon #119963.

On the inside I used our new word set called Sassy Salutation (W126315/
C126317.

I hope I inspired you with today's card.  To order Stampin' Up supplies
please shop in my ON LINE STORE 24/7  or email me with your order.  I
would love to be your demonstrator.  As always if you have any
questions just drop me a line.  Thanks for stopping by and have a
wonderful day.  Until next time.  Toodles

Hello There. . .  Today I would like to share my third Christmas
Stamp A Stack card.  Isn't it cute as a button.  My first two cards where
on the more serious side of Christmas so I wanted this on to be whimsy.
It turned out to be very traditional in style.  My stack is still a work in
progress.  I need a couple more cards to show my loyal following so
they can choose their favorites. 

My card base is Cherry Cobbler and is matted with one of our new
In Colors Gumball Green.  When the new catty came along I was
not sure I liked Gumball Green.  It seemed to green.  Somewhere
along the way I must have changed my mind because I have used
it all and need to order more.  Goes to show you never say
never.  The designer paper is to sing for.  I love this year's Christmas
paper Be of Good Cheer #126896.  It has some great colors and
patterns.  Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!

My stamp is the whimsical No Peeking set (W126190/C126292) on
pg 23 of the catty.  All four images are just great.  Later I will show
you the tags that I made with them for my craft shows this fall. 
Too cute.  Of course my focal point is the snowman and I inked him
with Early Expresso and punched him out with a 1.5 circle punch non
SU.  For a substitute You can use our Circles #2 Originals Die #114526.
My scallop is from our 2 3/8" Scallop Punch #118874 and I pierced
it with out piercing tool.  For a little shine and glimmer I used our
Brights Glimmer Brads #121006.

I hope you have enjoyed my ramblings today and that I have
inspired you to start thinking about your Christmas Cards.  It's
never too early.  To purchase today's products you can shop
in my Stampin' Up ONLINE STORE 24/7 or email me directly.
I would love to be you go to demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for even more cards and
gift ideas for the holidays.  Have a wonderful day.  Toodles
