I have had a few of you ask about doing a Ribbon Share. What is that, you ask? In short, several people participate and split a few rolls of ribbon. This is great for those who may want a variety of ribbon but do not need or want to invest in, 10 yards of each kind. I thought we might start with a Holiday Ribbon Share that would give us a variety of ribbons for fall and Christmas projects! If you would like to participate, let me know as soon as possible. If you live locally, I will deliver  to you or you can pick up your share at stamp camp. If you would like to participate by mail, there will be an additional postage fee.  Each share requires 5 participants and I have rounded everything off so that each person will pay $20 (for 2 or 3 rolls). That means you will be receiving 2 yards of each of the following ribbons below. That is 30 yards of ribbon or cord for $20. The variety consists of all the new ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog and several additional ribbons from the catalog that will enhance your fall, holiday and winter cards. Call or email me at Belinda@stampinpad.com to participate!

 I love this set! The weather this week really has me thinking fall. I am traveling with my darling husband this weekend, and there are festivals going on in all the little town’s around us, we plan to enjoy a couple and I thought this card was perfect for the occasion. 

This was one of our stamp camp cards this month. The image is stamped on our watercolor paper in Black Staz On Ink and colored using ink refills and the aqua painter.

The sentiment is stamped on our twill tape in Staz On Ink.

This is another card we made for stamp camp this month. These are hostess level one sets from the new catalog. They are both great silhouette sets. I love the artwork and the versatility. I fell in love with this card design when I saw it in the new catalog, so  I tweaked it a little for our camp card. The flower images have been bleached.

Another great reason for owning the catalog, hundreds of great projects to copy or draw inspiration from. That’s why we call it the Catalog and Idea Book!

Here is another sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog. This is a really fun set called Sweet Centers. All of the stamps are designed to work with our Sweet Treat Cups. These little treat cups with adhesive liners can be filled with candies or any other fun treats.

I copied the design for this stamp camp card, straight from the Mini Catalog with just a couple of little changes. Since I filled the cups with Good and Plenty candies, I thought this saying from the Smarty Pants set was perfect!

Thanks for stopping by!

I have to begin this post by saying that this card is much prettier in person than shown here! The leaves have been embossed using the cracked glass technique. They are very shiny and dimensional, but it is hard to get a picture that does them justice, especially with my limited photography skills.

Does the design layout look familiar? I used the same design layout as the previous From the Crypt card.  Designing from a sketch can help you out of a creative slump or help you throw together a card in just a few minutes time. In theory, anyway; that is until you get the brilliant idea to stamp and cut out individual leaves and emboss each 3-4 times, but I digress. It was worth it though, no? I think it is a card worthy enough for a fabulous friend.

Speaking of FABULOUS! How about this gorgeous paper and new set from the upcoming Holiday Mini? The paper is called Autumn Meadow and it is yummy. I love every single design from this offering. I can’t wait for you to see the new mini coming your way in just a couple of weeks. It is 40 pages full of amazing new stuff!

Well my big plans to stamp all week were interupted by an icky cold that has had everyone at my house sick. It seems like that happens every time I announce that I am going to stamp all week! It is a little difficult to be creative when you feel like poo, but yesterday I started feeling better and managed to put this together.

I just love this set! I love anything spooky anyway, but the artwork on this set is so nice.

The spiders are sitting on black sewing thread and the orange pearls are from the pretties kit and are colored with Crystal effects and classic ink. The spiders and main image are embossed with black detail embossing powder.
