Out on a Limb

out on a limb

I made these fun little cello toppers for our new 1×8 cello bags from the Holiday mini catalog.  I am going to make more of these for the holidays. They are easy and adorable and I know they will appeal to the kiddos, because I have had to rescue them from Aubrey several times. Before I got to take pictures. I tried to offer her some treats in one of the little bags, but she insisted on having one with the topper!

You could make them a little simpler, by just stamping on a white card stock and skip all the cutting. I am thinking we’ll make these for stamp camp next week.

Another Haunted Forest

haunted forest

Here is another card that I made using the Haunted Forest image. Another demonstrator dared me to use up some of the “extra” pieces on my desk from the previous days creative session ( thanks Judy!). I end up with a lot of those. Pieces that are created when what is going on in my head doesn’t translate to paper in the way that I thought it would.

I played with this piece originally without the sponging, but the image got a little lost in the DSP.  It really was a different creative process for me, to start with a piece that I had to use and then build the rest of the card around that. It was fun though, and I may revisit this card design because I have already come up with a couple of touches that I wish I would have added!

Thanks for looking!

Haunted Forest

haunted forest

I absolutely adore this image. It’s so spooky and sweet.  It hints of cooler weather, a plethora of pumpkin goodies and little munchkins in sweet costumes. It makes me want to put in my Sleepy Hollow DVD and gaze at Johnny Depp for while. I can’t wait for fall!
When I saw this Haunted Forest stamp in the Holiday mini, I knew I wanted to mask  a moon and sponge in a spooky sky.  I embossed the image with Iridescent Ice to give it some sparkle. I started out with a matted image, but then decided to really glitz it up with a glittered chipboard piece. I have to admit that I really had fun creating this card!

Warmest of Wishes

warmest of wishes

This is a fun little treat that we made at stamp camp this month. Remember when we used to have to print a box pattern onto card stock, cut it out, score it with a stylus and then glue or tape it together to assemble? I do. I must admit that I am hopelessly spoiled by my Big Shot with all the adorable little box dies we have to choose from. It’s so easy to roll a piece of card stock through the Big shot and then just fold the box together. Those neat little treats for the holidays are so much quicker and easier to make now!

I used several sets for this little goody. The adorable little owl is from a hostess set being offered in the new Holiday Mini catalog. The limb is from a darling new set called out on a limb. You are going to want this one, it has several scene elements that can be used for many other things (clouds, moon, limb, sweet witch, broom and more). The little candies have belly bands that have been stamped with It’s a Wrap Holidays, also from the new mini. Four little Hershey Treasures fit perfectly in this little match box.

Thanks for looking!

Gently Falling

gently falling

Good Morning! Storms last week left me without power for a couple of days, which threw me behind on everything. I did manage to get a little stamping by flashlight done, but that was out of absolute necessity! Even with the power outages, we were thrilled to see the rain here. The cooler temperatures, though still in the 90’s, were a boost to our spirits. With everyone longing for fall weather, I thought this would be the perfect card to share today.

I haven’t stamped with a two set stamp set in a while and I have to say after using this one, I may be hooked again! I stamped the outline image, and then filled in with the background stamp. Instant coloring!  Two step stamping suits a leaf set so well, because you can add additional colors to the stamp using a sponge dauber. Love the quick and easy stamping.

I think this spice cake paper is my favorite from the new Holiday mini. The touch of blue adds a beautiful pop to the fall colors. I noticed this color combination all over the place when I was shopping the other day. I bought a shirt that matches beautifully. I feel a scrapbook page coming on…

Happy Stampin!

More My Digital Studio

I have a couple more My Digital Studio pages to share today. These were just fun to do. I used some of my favorite digital downloads to create this layout, Simple stitches and corners, Cast a Spell DSP,  and the Vintage Overlay Stamp Brush Sets.

Here is a close up view of the individual pages. Love these precious little photos, and I like how this simple layout lets them take center stage

Harvest or Thanksgiving Blessing Mix


This is another project we did for stamp camp this month. We used the little brown paper bags from the Holiday mini catalog to present a gift of Harvest Blessing Mix. We have done this with a cello bag and topper in the past, but the harvest mix was the first thing I thought of when I saw these little bags! This is also called Thanksgiving Blessing Mix.
Harvest Blessing Mix
We stamped a quick tag using the new Decorative Label punch and sponged a couple of leaves from the Autumn Splendor set. The blessing mix ingredient list was printed off on the computer and attached to the back of the bag. You can find the printout with the recipe for the mix and the ingredient label here.

Enjoy!

Season of Friendship

Season of Friendship

This was one of the fall cards that we made at Stamp Camp last week. I love the little owl from the new Aviary set and thought he would be too cute with this set! The Top Note die atop a simple layer or two is a great go to design for a quick and easy card. Just simple stamping on this one, but the colors are so rich it really grabs your attention. Love the new Cajun Craze!

Thanks for stopping by!
