Happy Halloween - Something Good To Eat

Happy Halloween! I have two cards for you today. I used elements from the Something Good To Eat Kit Paper Pumpkin kit on both of them. This kit is still available for purchase.

Supplies:

Stamps: Something Good To Eat; Jar of Love; Label Me Pretty

Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White 

DSP: Color Theory

Tools:  Everyday Jars Framelits, Pretty Label Punch

Accessories: Black Rhinestones, Baker's Twine (it was on the Clearance Rack when I made this card, but it appears to be gone now; you could substitute Thick Black Baker's Twine or a color of your choice)

This fall card features the stamp set Colorful Seasons. The leaves are done with the Rock and Roll technique. The banners are made with leftovers from the Something Good To Eat Paper Pumpkin kit and a strip of retired Close to Cocoa, which seemed to match the stripes. Other colors on this card are Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, and Whisper White. I can't tell from the picture, but I think the sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso (or I could have used my retired Close to Cocoa ink pad - either would work).

If you ever need cardstock in retired colors, such as the Close to Cocoa used on this card, please let me know. I probably have some since I have just about every color since I became a demo in 2009. I also have some retired inks available, but the supply is more limited.

Jar of Love Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!

We made this card in Stamp Club. The jar and stamped hearts are from the wonderful set Jar of Love and cut out with the Big Shot and Everyday Jars Framelits. The Love is stamped with Smoky Slate and embossed with clear embossing powder so it's raised a little like the words on canning jars. The big hearts are from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits.

 Sorry about the washed out color. It's really much more vibrant in person and the DSP actually looks Real Red and the same color the whole way across. I have a hard time getting good shots at night but I wanted to get this posted on the actual holiday.

Inside the card says, "You fill me with happiness," which is in the Jar of Love set. The happy Valentine's day is from the retired set Good Greetings.

September Club

My loyal blog followers - thank you so much for sticking with me as I had some family medical issues to deal with. I know I didn't give you a lot of info, but that's because it's not my information to share. But I'm thankful to say that things have turned around and are looking up. Hopefully I'll have more time to stamp and to post now. I've really missed stamping and being creative! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the NC Demos Halloween/Fall Blog Hop. There should be lots of great ideas to spark your creativity.

Today was the first of two September club meetings. Saturday is always a little smaller,  but because of vacations, our group was smaller than usual. We still had a great time. If you'd like to have fun stamping, socializing, and being creative, contact me for details on how you can join us.

Here's one of the three Christmas cards we made. Hope you enjoy it. I'll share the other two in later posts.
