Mornin’, y’all! Happy Hawwmp Day!! I hope you had fun with the 30th Birthday sale yesterday. It was a good ‘un, huh?
My Ordering Bonus is still going on – so there’s time to gather up some supplies to help with the upcoming Holiday season! Read on down for the all the details and get in on it before it goes away on the 28th!
I thought it made sense to do another – maybe the last one? – Halloween card, since it’s right around the corner. I used some fun Toil & Trouble DSP and images from the Cauldron Bubble and Trick or Tweet stamp sets (love this cute set!). Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! I hope your week is going well and that you’re stocking up with the World Card Making Day special savings! And…are checking out the Stamp-N-Storage special also going on.
It’s just a…special kind of week, eh?? 🙂
My card today is quick and easy-peasy for Halloween! It started with some Toil & Trouble DSP and then pulled some elements from the Takeout Treats bundle. Take a look-see:
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! This is another installment of the Joint Blog Hop between the Happy Inkin’ Thursday and Happy Stampers Blog Hop ladies! I hope you really enjoy all the inspiration you can get from our talented folks!
As usual – we have both a sketch and a color challenge and we can use either or both. I went with both and used one of the new Host-exclusive stamp sets in the 2018 Holiday Catalog called Warm Hearted. Take a look-see!
Hope y’all took advantage of the new goodies in the Clearance Rack – not least of which is a short-supply of Fast Fuse Adhesive (and refills!). If you did NOT – I suggest you head over and take a look-see at the new items before your faves are gone! Here’s a handy-dandy link.
I’m a helper that way! You’re welcome. 😉
So – you guys probably know me by my Stampin’ Up! name: the Queen of Clean.
ROFL!!! HA HA HA!
CAS is SO not my thing!
Except for today.
TODAY – it’s my thang.
Do whatcha gotta do…
Sorry…
I pulled out the cute little Making Every Day Bright stamp set which, OBTW – just so happens to coordinate with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch that you can get bundled with the Making Christmas Bright stamp set. So – buy that bundle. Buy this set. And make this! Take a look-see:
Okay – to be fair, to make this you’ll also need a sentiment stamp set – I picked Itty Bitty Greetings!
This one is quick so…buckle-up, Buttercup!
I started with a panel of Whisper White card stock and, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamped the “cord” image from Making Every Day Bright twice.
I pulled out my Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie ink pads and stamped the solid lightbulb image in alternating colors. I also stamped a Mango Melody bulb on a separate piece of Whisper White.
Going back for my Tuxedo Black, I stamped the sweetly-spooky little spider and web on that Mango Melody bulb and cut it out with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch.
Also with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch, I cut out “bulb tops” from some Black Foil, which I stuck onto the top of each bulb with little dabs of Liquid Glue. I trimmed the excess off the edges and matted the panel on Mango Melody.
I popped my spider-stamped bulb on top to the “cord” with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Then I tied a bow from the Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon and adhered it to the top of my spider-bulb with a Glue Dot.
I stamped the Itty Bitty Greetings sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, added a clear Epoxy Droplet and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a little more of the Making Every Day Bright light strand across a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to mat the panel on Mango Melody and then into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
The front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Making Every Day Bright lights…
….and I added a few more onto the envelope flap. Cuz why WOULDN’T I?!? 🙂
Et Voila! I TOLD you it was quick and easy. And even I – the so-not-the-Queen-of-Clean, love this card! The simple color scheme is very appealing, don’t you think? I love this Making Every Day Bright stamp set – it’s got so many possibilities! I hope you like!

CLEARANCE RACK REFRESH
New items have been added to the Clearance Rack in the online store. Supplies are limited, and with discounts up to 60%, products will go quickly. Shop now and stock up.
FAST FUSE ADDED TO CLEARANCE RACK (WHILE SUPPLIES LAST)
If you’re like us, you thought the days of Fast Fuse were done at Stampin’ Up! (You know . . . because we had already retired the product and everything!) However, our vendor reached out to us because they manufactured a surplus of Fast Fuse applicators and refills, and they offered to sell their excess Fast Fuse inventory to us. We took them up on their offer and purchased 2,500 Fast Fuse applicators and 72,000 Fast Fuse refills.
One of the reasons SU! decided to buy this product was because of feedback they received letting them know that some of you still wanted to purchase Fast Fuse applicators and refills, and this was the perfect opportunity to make it available once again through the Clearance Rack. Fast Fuse refills will be available to you for more than 50% off their original price! Because supplies are limited, you should go right to the online store to place your order instead of waiting to place a workshop order. These’ll go fast, y’all!

Finn Fan Fix
A week or so ago, I made a fun Halloween card using what I think is one of the cutest images ever!
I really just LOVE that little ghost!
Well – when I was done with the card and went to tidy up…the little ghost had ghosted me!
He was flat gone!
I looked high.
I looked low,
I scoured the waste bins at my desk.
I got on my hands and knees.
I looked suspiciously over at The Man.
Yes – I truly thought he’d absconded with my little ghost.
After a day or two went by, I resigned myself to having an incomplete stamp set.
And I was seriously bummed. I hate losing stuff – and I hate incomplete sets of stamps. Or dies.
I mean – do you buy another set? Oh the decisions.
A couple days ago, I was making another card and needed my Watercolor Pencils.
The box came off the shelf and…
I feel sorta bad for doubting the Man.
Oh wait – no I don’t. We all know it’s more a matter of “when” not “If” he really DOES do some absconding!
What a downer-way to start a blog post, huh? Sorry! 🙁
Let me give you a more-fun bit of news! Stampin’ Up! let us know there’s been a big refresh in the Clearance Rack – so be sure to check it out. AND – Fast Fuse is AVAILABLE while supplies last at a huge DISCOUNT!! Don’t wait if you need Fast Fuse – check it out below and get it while it lasts!
So – if you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video – thanks. I hope you had a good time – it was sort of fun designing on the fly as a group, wasn’t it? If you didn’t get to watch, but would like to see the fun after-the-fact, here’s the Memorex on YouTube!
The sneak peek I gave you yesterday was a Baker’s Box that I’d colored using Stampin’ Spritzers and Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink Refills. The video shows how I did that!
For the sample box, I used the cool Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF and the new Country Home bundle to decorate it after I was thru coloring it. Take a look-see:
On last night’s video, we decorated our colored box using elements from the Cauldron Bubble Bundle!
The video explains the coloring process – so take a quick gander at that!
Decorating the sides of the boxes was the same for each design. In both cases, I matted either an embossed card stock panel or a piece of the Toil & Trouble DSP on a color coordinating mat and then adhered them to the sides with Liquid Glue. On the front panel, I punched a half-circle with my 3/4″ Circle Punch.
From there, it was a matter of “frosting the cake”! Each box started with some Chicken Wire Elements, snipped down and adhered with Liquid Glue.
I cut several images from the Toil & Trouble DSP using their dies in the Cauldron Framelits to decorate the Halloween Box – as well as two spider webs from Black Foil. I also punched a Black Foil bat with the Spooky Bats punch!
The sides of the Fall box are Crumb Cake card stock, embossed in the Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF, then lightly sponged with Soft Suede ink. The sentiment banner is an image from the Country Home stamp set, stamped on Crumb Cake in Early Espresso. I colored the cotton balls with my White Watercolor Pencil and snipped a banner end.
I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on a thinner strip of Crumb Cake and bannerized it, too. Then I adhered it to the larger banner with a little Liquid Glue and slid a Galvanized Clip on the left end.
I wrapped some 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim around the box and tied a knot on the top. Then I added a Linen Thread Billie-bow and a second “regular” bow with the Braided Trim. Then I slid the sentiment banner under the bow and secured it in place with a Glue Dot under the Galvanzied Clip.
And that was it, folks! These new Baker’s Boxes are perfectly sized for a deluxe donut or a few gourmet cookies. Or…candy! Or…whatever! And you can just decorate them to your heart’s content! Fall – with the Country Home Bundle – would be perfect! And Halloween is almost here! Cauldron Bubble and a little Toil & Trouble make super fun treat boxes! Hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
On Sunday, I was walking from the bedroom back to the kitchen.
And I noticed Finn.
Sleeping.
Finn sleeping is not unusual.
This, though.
THIS…
These are just things that make you scratch your head and think…wait…what?!?
Good mornin’, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month we’re doing Halloween Fun! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
Before I get going – let’s just acknowledge the historical import of this day in the history of our Country. I know I will always remember that day – where I was, what we were doing, what I felt as I raced to work – hoping my boss/friend hadn’t already gotten on an airplane and that the folks I knew were in D.C weren’t at the Pentagon. I know y’all remember it as well. As we must. We must never – ever – forget.
So – okay. On with the card.
I pulled out the Cauldron Bubble stamp set and bundled Cauldron Framelits – paired them with some Toil & Trouble DSP and some Spooky Bats Punch shapes. Take a look-see at the Double Easel Fun Fold that I created with them!
What I love about Double-Easels is that – with just an extra piece or two of card stock and a few extra score-and-folds, you’ve got a WOW card!
I started with the Double Easel in Basic Black. I cut a piece at 4″ x 10 1/4″ and scored and folded it at 5 1/4″ x 7 3/4″. Then I matted three pieces of new Toil & Trouble DSP on Granny Apple Green and adhered them to the easel.
I cut a piece of Copper Glimmer Paper from the Joyous Noel 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper Pack with my Circle Layering Framelits and adhered it to the front “mountain” fold with Liquid Glue on just the bottom portion.
I stamped the sweet little witch from Cauldron Bubble in Tuxedo Black on a piece of Whisper White and colored her with my Light and Dark Smoky Slate, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends. Then I cut her out with the matching die in the Cauldron Framelits. I also cut a cauldron and a kitty from one of the pieces of Toil & Trouble DSP (how cool is that?!).
I scooped up a little Shimmery White Embossing Paste and colored it with a drop of Granny Apple Green Ink Refill – then I sort of piled it onto the “stuff” pouring out the top of the cauldron – I used a toothpick to build it up!
From some Black Foil, I cut a spider web from a Cauldron Thinlit and a few Spooky Bats punched shapes.
I used Liquid Glue to build the little “scene”. Yep – no dimensionals….yet! 😉
I removed the “hangar” from a Spider Trinket and adhered him with a Glue Dot to the Black Foil spider web. The sentiment, from Cauldron Bubble is stamped in Highland Heather on Whisper White and snipped out. I used a Glue Dot to adhere two of the words to the bubbly stuff.
Across the large panel, I adhered a length of new Black 5/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon, using a couple of Glue Dots to adhere it to the back of the panel. Then I added a new Snowflakes & Stars Wire Element with a Glue Dot and another Spooky Bat with some Liquid Glue. A bow, adhered with a Glue Dot, finished it off.
On the inside, I stamped the cauldron from Cauldron Bubble in Tuxedo Black on a Whisper White panel, then I colored it with my Light and Dark Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends. I added the rest of the fussy cut sentiment words with Liquid Glue and stamped the second Cauldron Bubble sentiment underneath in Tuxedo Black.
I matted the panel on Granny Apple Green and Basic Black with Liquid Glue and then adhered the panel into my Highland Heather card base, popped the double-easel card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Cauldron on the front….
…and some more star-strewn Toil & Trouble DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Now – it appears there are a lot of steps here – and there sort of are. But – those are “cake decorating” steps. The “cake” itself (the actual double-easel) is easy peasy. I just sort of got carried away with all the fun goodies in the Cauldron Bubble bundle and the spooky-cool Toil & Trouble DSP! You can make your double-easel as simple or complex as you like. Just….MAKE a double-easel! Hope you like!
Now that you’ve seen my card, I hope you’ll take a little time to jump thru all the other projects we have to share. Click any name below, or you can use the Previous Blog button to jump to Julie’s page or the Next Blog button to see what Karen’s been up to!

Hope you had a great weekend and are ready for the week.
Don’t suppose it really matters if you’re NOT ready, cuz…
Yep. It’s gonna happen!
If you were able to join me last night for my FB live video – thanks for spending part of your weekend with me! We had a good time, I think! If you weren’t able to be with us, but would like to see how to make today’s Fun Fold, here’s the link to the Memorex version on YouTube!
The Peekaboo fun fold is kind of all over Pinterest and YouTube right now – lots of videos to watch. Which I did! And then I made my own!
I’ve actually made two now, both with the new Cauldron Bubble stamp set and some fun DSP from the Toil & Trouble DSP in the 2018 Holiday Catalog. Take a look-see.
This is the one I gave you the sneak peek of yesterday morning – all Black and Highland Heather and Smoky Slate!
Then I changed up the DSP and the color scheme in the video.
For both of them – I did some tone-on-tone stamping on the front with the cat or ghost image from Cauldron Bubble – Pumpkin Pie on Pumpkin Pie or Highland Heather on Highland Heather!
This kind of card is a lot easier to ‘splain in a video (which I do!) – so I’ll just share a few more pictures – and the card cuts are all down below!
I used the new and oh-so-cool Black 5/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon and some Black Foil on both cards, as well as the adorable (and not even a little bit scary!) Spider Trinkets!
You can see that the layout is the same…
…as is the technique to make the mechanism work!
As usual, I decorated my Whisper White Medium Envelopes with images that coordinate with my cards…
…and I added the matching Toil & Trouble DSP to the envelope flaps!
Et Voila! So – this is SUCH a fun card – with a surprise for your recipient when they open it up! And – since it’s really pretty easy to make – you NEED to do one for yourself! The video shows you how to “make the cake” – and I’ve used Halloween themed images from Cauldron Bubble and the Toil & Trouble DSP to “decorate the cake”. But – you can make your cake and decorate it however you like – Thanksgiving! Christmas! Just-cuz-it’s Tuesday!! Have fun with it. Hope you like!

We cut and chopped shares this weekend!
The men in my life (well…two of the four men in my life!) dealt with the work quite…differently.
Guess which one is going to Greece with me next year?!?
We did some share chopping yesterday – got most of the paper shares in the mail. Today is ribbon winding and chopping – and, when we get done, maybe a trip to Costco? Time will tell!
Tonight we’ll be making a card together – at least, I HOPE all y’all will be able to join me – on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. It’s a Fun Fun-fold (which I suppose would be an F3Card?). And it may or may not be THIS exact card – the fun fold will be the same, but…we may do Thanksgiving. Or…Christmas! Take a Sneaky Peek!
It’ll all depend on my mood as we approach 8pm eastern!

I’m not really going to say much about today’s picture.
Other than to, perhaps, wax eloquent on the extraordinary sweetness of this face.
Yes – he’s got his feet up on my lap. He’s got his collar in his mouth – because…why NOT hold your collar? And he’s giving me “the eyes.”
He can have pretty much whatever he wants from me. And he totally knows it.
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a sketch challenge – and I suspect you’re going to see a lot of 2018 Holiday Catalog sneak peeks. So…I hope you’ll check out everyone’s projects when you’re done here!
I pulled out a cute little stamp set I just HAD to order when I was in California and then never opened and inked! It’s the adorable Trick or Tweet set and it’s a fun take on Halloween. I love it with some new Toil & Trouble DSP and a little boost from the Spooky Sweets set. Take a look-see:
And here’s the sketch!
I started with some Granny Apple Green (is this not just the BEST green!?!) paper from the new Toil & Trouble DSP, matted on Basci Black for the card front.
Then I took a smaller panel of Basic Black and cut the edge with the wonderful Delicate Lace Edgelits.
I cut a smaller piece of Whisper White and, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamped the so-cute elephant from the Trick or Tweet set. And she needed to be holding a jack-o-lantern snack bucket, too. So I added that as well!
I used my new Light and Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends (these are in the 2018 Holiday Catalog) to color her. I also used both of my Pumpkin Pie Blends for the snack bucket. And she’s rocking Granny Apple Green wings, a mask and…in a surfeit of accessorizing coordination – Granny Apple Green toenails! 🙂 I just love that we’re getting more and more fun colors in the Stampin’ Blends, don’t you?? 🙂
I pulled out the Spooky Sweets stamp set (also in the new Holiday Catalog – coming live to you next week!) and added some spooky Granny Apple Green “mist” with the splatter stamp. I inked the stamp and stamped-if-off-once before I stamped the panel each time.
Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the die cut Basic Black panel and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment, from Trick or Tweet, is stamped in Tuxedo Black on Granny Apple Green card stock and punched with the Classic Label Punch. It’s adhered with Liquid Glue.
I used my Bow Easy to tie a double-loop bow from the new Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Then I colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with my Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend and added them to finish off the card front!
On the inside, I added a second sentiment – this one from the Spooky Sweets set – in Tuxedo Black to a Whisper White panel. Around the edges, I added stamped-off-once “mist” in Granny Apple Green. Then I added some full-strength “mist”, too.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat and into my Pumpkin Pie card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Spooky Sweets mist in both stamped-off-once and full-strength Granny Apple Green on the front…
…and on the back, I added a veritable miasma of mist – and some more of the Toil & Trouble DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Look at that face! Pretty hard to be too awfully scared of her – or any of her friends in the Trick or Tweet stamp set, isn’t it? And the Spooky Sweets bundle – with it’s scary Spooky Bats Punch – is a lot of fun, too! I hope you like!
