Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poppy Poinsettia for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 11, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a sketch week challenge and I know you’ll see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop.

I might have gotten a little bit jiggy with the sketch, but…squint yer eyes, okay!? I pulled out the lovely Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set and bundled Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits, borrowed some ideas from the Holiday Catalog and…take a look-see:

And…here’s the sketch!

I started with a piece of Soft Sea Foam card stock and, using the two corner dies from the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits and cut out all four corners. Then I used – quite a few!! – Stampin’ Dimensionals (in Regular AND Mini!) to pop that panel onto a Soft Sea Foam mat to create the card front.

I cut a strip of Sparkle Glimmer Paper and used the Banner Triple Punch on both ends, then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

On Whisper White card stock, I stamped the pretty Peaceful Poinsettia image twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut them out with the matching die. Then I colored them both with my Light and Dark Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.

I popped both images onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Peaceful Poinsettia sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink on Soft Sea Foam and cut it with an oval Stitched Shapes Framelits die. Then I used Liquid Glue and a couple more Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card front.

I added some gold Metallic Pearls to the centers of my Poinesttias and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Peaceful Poinsettia in Shaded Spruce on a Whisper White panel. I also added the large flower image in Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Shaded Spruce, Poppy Parade and Dark Mango Melody Blends.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and into my Poppy Parade card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another large flower on the front…

…and on the envelope flap!

Et Voila! Gotta love the Peaceful Poinsettia bundle, huh? And Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam is a wonderful color combination! I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Special and Snowflake Showcase Sneak Peek

Posted on October 10, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Happy Hawwmp Day!

I made it safely to Colorado – even with the thick ice-fog (yes, that’s a thing and I feel certain that’s what it was. Regular ole fog couldn’t possibly have been that thick. Do not try to change my mind on this!) between the airport and my Mom’s house up in the mountains! But – I did it and I’m here, so…yeah!! 🙂

I’ve got a few hip-pocket pics of the Man to share in this next couple of weeks while I’m aways from home.

But – today – meet….Clara!

Clara is my mom’s Basset Hound.

She’s a girl of a certain age who knows what she likes.

And sleeping in her bolster-bed is high on her list.

She’s quite the accomplished bolster-bed-sleeper.

Finn hasn’t met her yet – but I suspect he’ll want to offer some gentle, constructive suggestions on her technique.

“Clara – you need to hone your positioning skills”

“…get a bigger bolster…”

“…and always air your belly while you sleep.”

Stampin’ Up! Wishing You Many Blessings for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2018 by stampsnlingers

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 it’s all about Giving Thanks! 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!

I saw a card a while back by Sue Mohr that created a wreath using punched and die cut leaves. So, for today’s project, I decided to do one of my own. I used the wreath from the Wishing You Well stamp set and added leaves created with the Leaf Punch and the Painted Harvest stamp set. Take a look-see:

This was one of two cards I made that were inspired by this week’s theme challenge at The Paper Players.

I started with a piece of designer paper from the Country Lane DSP pack and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat with Liquid Glue for the card front.

On a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the wreath from the new Wishing You Well set in Early Espresso and again in Crushed Curry. Then I cut it out with a Stitched Shapes Framelits circle die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Many Blessings set in Cajun Craze in the middle of the stamped wreath.

I created the wreath by punching multiple leaves with the Leaf Punch. I made five Early Espresso leaves by first stamping the leaf image from the Painted Harvest set in Early Espresso ON Early Espresso card stock and punching them out. Then I punched four leaves from Copper Foil. I creased the copper leaves with my fingers.

I arranged all the leaves around the die cut circle and adhered them – just their stems! – with Liquid Glue.

I wanted some “greenery” filler, so I went to the new Night Owl Thinlits and cut a whole slew of the little pine boughs (handily – there are four of the dies in the set, so cutting a slew goes pretty quick!) – I cut them in Blackberry Bliss Country Lane DSP and in Mossy Meadow card stock. Then I stuck them here and there and hither and yon in amongst the leaves, using Liquid Glue to get them stuck.

Last week, when I was playing with the Blackberry Bliss Nature’s Twine, I made a fat double-loop bow that was too large and fluffy for that card. Recall these were made by un-twisting the twine and using the thinner strands. It was perfect for this card! So – I adhered it to the bottom of the wreath with a Glue Dot. Over that, I adhered a regular bow tied with some 1/4″ Copper Trim.

And that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I added some of the little flourishes from the Many Blessings stamp set in Cajun Craze in the corners of a Very Vanilla panel. With my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Marker – I added little dots around the flourishes.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Early Espresso mat and into my Blackberry Bliss card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another couple of Mossy Meadow dots and Cajun Craze flourishes on the front…

…and a bit more of the Country Lane DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Love this happy harvest wreath – created with leaves from the Painted Harvest stamp set and brought home with the Many Blessings set. Of course, the Country Lane DSP is pretty much perfect for this time of year – and this kind of card! 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 Shirley’s page or the Next Blog button to see what Sue’s been up to!

Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods and a Snow is Glistening Sneak Peek

Posted on October 8, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all! If you’ve got the day off – hope you enjoy the down-time! If not – get to work! You’re going to be late! I do NOT have the day off. And so I’ll be working and going to the dentist and packing to head to Colorado tomorrow. Long day, indeed!

If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you taking the time! Especially given the fact that I dropped you like…5 times? Sheesh! I truly don’t know what the issue was – but…the bottom line is that all but the very last 10 min or so was lost in the ether. Maybe Al Gore has it – I don’t know. But – there was really nothing worth posting on YouTube. I’m so sorry! 🙁

Waaaahhhhh!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁

But – it’s a GREAT card. And a GREAT technique – so…I’ll do another one for y’all soon, I promise!

So – I’ll try to ‘splain it to you in this post, okay?

I used the soon-to-be-available Snow Is Glistening stamp set (get it on 1 Nov!) and the wonderful Winter Woods to create a fun modified Joseph’s Coat card. Take a look-see:

Cool, huh? I think it looks like the Northern Lights glowing on winter-bare trees, don’t you?

The color scheme is courtesy of this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.

I also decided to enter in the “tree” portion of this week’s The Paper Players theme challenge! I’ve got a “leaves” entry for tomorrow! 🙂

I wanted the snow at the top and bottom (both courtesy of the Snow is Glistening stamp set – avail 1 Nov) to be truly white, so I stamped the images across the top and bottom of a Whisper White panel in Versamark (using the hinge-step with the Stamparatus), then heat embossed them in Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. To be clear – stamp, sprinkle and heat one end at a time. 😉

Then I used wedges of Stampin’ Sponge to color the panel – the top third-ish is in Blueberry Bushel, the center in Lemon Lime Twist and the bottom in Shaded Spruce. I wiped the embossed images off with a paper towel – and they come back nice and white! This is called an emboss-resist.

Once the sponged panel was good and dry – help it along with the low setting on your Heat Tool – or leave it for a while. You want it very dry! Once it was dry, I stamped the trees from the Winter Woods stamp set in Versamark and then heat embossed them with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

I made the “Joseph’s Coat” part by then sponging over the middle section of the panel with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I didn’t extend the black all the way up into the blue or down into the green portions – I wanted those colors to shine thru! A final wipe with a paper towel finished it off!

I adhered the panel to a Shaded Spruce mat with Liquid Glue, then I wrapped a length of Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon around it, securing it in the back with Glue Dots.

The sentiment, also from the Snow If Glistening set, is heat embossed in Clear on a strip of Whisper White, then sponged with Tuxedo Black. I snipped a banner end and adhered it to the ribbon with a couple of Glue Dots.

I used a Glue Dot to add a new Snowflake Trinket (coming on 1 Nov with the Snowflake Showcase goodies) and a little bow tied from the Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added the Winter Woods image onto a Whisper White panel. I used my Stamparatus and sponged the stamp directly with Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Shaded Spruce. Then I added the sentiment from the Snow Is Glistening set in Tuxedo Black.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Shaded Spruce mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

I repeated the sponged rubber stamp technique with the Winter Woods trees on the front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope…

…and then I used the hinge-step again with the Stamparatus to add the Snow Is Glistening image in Blueberry Bushel across the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love how this turned out – those Winter Woods trees are one of my favorite images in the new 2018 Holiday Catalog. And the greens just shine, don’t they?? I can’t wait for y’all to be able to snag the Snowflake Showcase goodies – be watching for a blog post all about them, okay? Hope you like – and…SO sorry for the technical difficulties we had last night! Thanks for your patience!

Now look. I know you guys love my dog.

I got it.

And I don’t want what I’m going to tell you to change your opinion at all.

Ready?

Okay. Brace yourself.

Finn. Is. Weird.

I’m not kidding.

That’s “Sit Pretty”. Ears – paw up – lips (when I can get it).

And he’s offering it on his own here.

Now – you might think he’s trying to persuade me to give him a peppermint.

Or a piece of filet mignon.

Or bacon.

Nope.

He’s trying to get me to give him a piece of Honeydew melon.

Which I did.

And then he returned for more. Four more times.

Like I said.

Weird. 😉

Saturday was a rough day here at the Deatherage house.

Our sweet Leo went to the Rainbow Bridge. He’ll be in good company – too many of our fur children have preceded him.

I made it as easy for him as I could. I hope it was easier for him than it was for me.

He’s the all-black fellow in the back – the one with the big yellow eyes. Those eyes saved his and his sister 15 years ago.

Rest in Peace, sweet boy.

I’ve got a sweet and simple card for you today – made with a set of goodies that you’ll be able to partake of in November (and ONLY November!). It’s the limited time Snowflake Showcase! I combined one of the cool die cuts with a sentiment from the Farmhouse Elements. Take a look-see:

Check. Out. That. Die. Cut!

Is that the coolest thing ever?!? I’ll do a whole post about the Snowflake Showcase in a few days – including a video showing you all the goodness! But…here’s a quick peek….

On this card, I used the Snow Is Glistening stamp set, Snowfall Thinlits dies and….new White Velvet Sheets! Yep – you read that right. Velvet. Sheets.

My layout for this clean-and-simple card is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches.

I started by embossing a panel of Merry Merlot card stock in the Subtle Dynamic TIEF and matting it on a piece of Whisper White for the card front.

I used one of the gorgeous dies in the Snowfall Thinlits to cut the shape from a new White Velvet Sheet, then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I took a Festive Farmhouse Element and colored it by squishing it on top of my Whisper White Craft Pad. I did that a few times to get a good solid coverage. When it was dry, I painted it with my Frost White Shimmer Paint. Then I adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I finished it off by sticking a few of the new Snowflake Trinkets to the die cut with Glue Dots!

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Snow is Glistening stamp set in Merry Merlot on a Whisper White panel. Across the bottom, I added a few snowflakes in Merry Merlot. I LOVE that there are so many different snowflakes in the one stamp set!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Whisper White mat and into my Merry Merlot card base, and used Liquid Glue to adhere the card front, too – and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the Snow is Glistening snowflakes across the front…

…and on the envelope flap!

Et Voila! Clean and simple isn’t really my wheelhouse – but…that snowflake die cut just demanded that it take centerstage and not have to fight for attention! As I mentioned, I’ll be showing more samples in the weeks to come – and giving you all the details about the Snowflake Showcase! Hope you like!

Do y’all remember the great Blue Tarp incident of 2017?

Wherein a blue tarp showed up on the driveway?

Well – the other day, there was another interloper.

Equally dangerous.

DO YOU SEE THIS?!?!

Get it, Dad!!! KILL IT!

Not to worry, y’all. Thanks to the alertness of our guard dog, it’s been dispatched back to whence it came.

Phew!

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Cross-Stitched Christmas!

Posted on October 5, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope you’ve had a great week!

I pulled the new Cross-Stitched Christmas stamp set and made y’all a card with it – and I think I broke the code on the big Christmas tree. I set it atop more of the pretty All Is Bright DSP. Take a look-see:

I played along with this week’s The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe challenge (love Tic-Tac-Toe Challenges!!).

I started out by adhering a piece of the All Is Bright DSP on some Cherry Cobbler card stock for the card front. Then I added another piece, also matted on Cherry Cobbler, adhering it with Liquid Glue.

Next up – the Cross-Stitched Christmas tree.

Here’s my tips for this sorta persnickety three-step image. Ready?

First – use your Stamparatus. Really. You can actually place all three images on the plates (remember plates have TWO sides!). It will help you line the images up, I promise.

Second? I want you to deliberately stain your photopolymer stamps.

Oh yes – I said that. I finally figured out that what makes it hard is SEEING the little cross-stitches. So…I inked my stamps with Jet Black Stazon and when it had dried – cleaned any excess off. But you and I both know that my stamps are now lightly colored BLACK. Makes it MUCH easier to see and align the stitches!

Finally – don’t be afraid to practice on some printer paper or something. Get it all lined up BEFORE you try to stamp your card stock! 🙂

Okay. Onward! 🙂

I stamped the Cherry Cobbler stitches first – that’s the image with the least number of stitches on it – on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. The second image is in Old Olive and then I finished up with Mossy Meadow.

Then I cut the image with an oval Stitched Shapes Framelits die. I used Liquid Glue on the left side and a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side and adhered it to the card front.

I made a banner from a strip of Gold Glimmer Paper and my Banner Triple Punch and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I decided some greenery was appropriate, so I cut some boughs from Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow with my Pretty Pines Thinlits. I also cut a few berries from a Gold Foil Sheet. These I adhered in a couple of sprays with Liquid Glue!

I made the sentiment by heat embossing the Cross-Stitched Christmas sentiment in White on a piece of Mossy Meadow. I added faux stitches with my Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Marker and popped the banner on with Stampin’ Dimensioanls.

I finished off the card front with a tiny Linen Bow atop the tree!

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on a Crumb Cake panel. I added a few White heat embossed snowflakes around the sentiment and added more of the Mossy Meadow faux stitches.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and into my Mossy Meadow card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got some Cross-Stitched Christmas snowflakes heat embossed in white on the front…

…and the envelope flap got more of the All Is Bright DSP. I’m sure you’re shocked! 😉

Et Voila! I love this Cross-Stitched Christmas set and think it’s definitely worth spending a minute making sure you get a good image! And I hope my tips will help you do that! Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Falling Leaves and Santa’s Bags for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 4, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a color week challenge and I know you’ll see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop.

I took a little inspiration from a sample project in the 2018 Holiday Catalog for some of the elements I used on my card today – specifically the muslin Santa’s Bags. I used them along with the cool Falling Leaves bundle. Take a look-see:

And here’s the color scheme we were working with this week.

I used the sketch from this week’s Fusion Challenge to inspire my layout.

I started with a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and stamping the little fern-y image from the Falling Leaves stamp set in Old Olive all over the panel. I stamped the image twice each time, without re-inking. Then I adhered it onto a Cajun Craze mat with Liquid Glue.

The next two elements come from a Santa’s Bag that I cut up – then frayed the edges (just pull the threads out until you get the fringe you want!). On the natural piece (cut into a banner), I stamped another leaf image from Falling Leaves in Old Olive. I stamped the BACK of the muslin – then when I adhered it “upside down” – the image was faint. Like stamping off once – but easier! 🙂

The second piece of the Santa’s Bag was colored with my Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend, then stamped in Old Olive with another Falling Leaves leaf.

Both panels were adhered with Glue Dots.

I cut a solid leaf from a piece of Blackberry Bliss Country Lane DSP and a detailed leaf from some Sahara Sand card stock, using the Detailed Leaves Thinlits. I lightly sponged the edge of the detailed leaf with Sahara Sand and adhered them both to the card front with Liquid Glue.

With Blackberry Bliss ink, I inked up just the final word on a sentiment image in the Falling Leaves set and stamped it on a small piece of Sahara Sand. I flicked the edges with a sponge inked with Sahara Sand and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I made my double-loop Billie Bow by first untwisting a length of Blackberry Bliss Nature’s Twine. I used about 5 strands to make the bow and adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Falling Leaves in Blackberry Bliss on a Sahara Sand panel. Over that, I stamped a leaf in stamped-off-once Old Olive.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Sahara Sand card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another leaf – stamped twice without re-inking – in Old Olive on the front…

…and I added a little more of the Blackberry Bliss Country Lane DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love how cool the Santa’s Bag looks cut into different shaped elements – they provide a very organic look, don’t you think? And the Falling Leaves bundle plays off the muslin perfectly. I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Bring on the Bright Presents for Christmas!

Posted on October 3, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy happy HAWWWMP day!! I hope that you’re taking advantage of the Stampin’ Up! World Card Making Day (WEEK!) and stocking up on all the goodies! And then I hope you’re making cards – and SENDING them! – in celebration!

I pulled out a pretty bundle to play with for today’s card – and it’s just in time for Christmas! It’s the Bring on the Presents bundle – and I put it atop some All Is Bright DSP! Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was rather loosely based on the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge this week!

I started by matting some pretty greenery from the All Is Bright DSP on a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock for the card front. Then I matted a second design from the pack on another, smaller piece of card stock.

I cut two pieces of “ribbon” using the die in the All The Presents Thinlits (which are available with the Bring On The Presents as a money-saving bundle!). I cut them from Gold Foil and then adhered them to the smaller matted panel with Liquid Glue.

I trimmed the excess and then adhered the entire panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the big bow twice in Shaded Spruce. I colored the bows with my Light and Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. Then I fussy cut one bow – I didn’t want a white border (like I’d have gotten using the die in the Thinlits) – and fussy cut the middle of the second bow.

I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the full bow and used them to wind some Gold Metallic Thread in several loops. Then I popped it over the “ribbons”.

I put some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the smaller middle section that I’d cut out and placed it over the top of the larger bow.

I stamped the tag outline from Bring On The Presents in Shaded Spruce on a piece of Whisper White. Then I added the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler and cut it with the matching die in the All The Presents Thinlits. I used some Liquid Glue to adhere the tag – tucked under the bow.

I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the middle of the bow and around on the card front and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the smaller bow image from Bring On The Presents in Shaded Spruce on a Whisper White panel. I also stamped the bow on a sticky note and fussy cut it to create a mask. I masked off the bow and stamped the ribbon image in Shaded Spruce. Then I colored the ribbons and bow with the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. Finally, I stamped a second sentiment from Bring On The Presents in Cherry Cobbler.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then into my Shaded Spruce card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the bows and ribbons on the front…

…and then I added some more of the All Is Bright DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Tell me this doesn’t look just like a Christmas present up against the tree! Nope – that’s what I thought. You can’t. Cuz it totally does! The Bring On The Presents is a wonderful set that will let you make fun and pretty holiday cards throughout the season! I hope you like!

Sometimes waiting for mom to…jump on the trampoline…make a card…work on a telecom…make dinner (not for you!)…pet the cats…do the laundry…

Well…you get it.

It. Just. Gets. Old.

And really – all a kid can do is just find a spot and rest.

And wait.

Fortunately, there’s a chin-shelf handy all the way around the living room…

Stampin’ Up! Takeout Treats and Cauldrons

Posted on October 2, 2018 by stampsnlingers

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:

I played along with this week’s Just Us Girls theme challenge!

I started with some Gorgeous Grape paper from the Toil & Trouble DSP and matted it on Lemon Lime Twist for the card front.

Next up, I cut a circle from Mango Melody paper in the Brights DSP pack and matted it on a Scalloped Circle in Lemon Lime Twist. Then I sliced it in half and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

With a second piece of the Brights DSP, I cut a banner with the Triple Banner Punch and adhered it just under the half-moon with Liquid Glue.

I cut three equal-sized lengths of new Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon and adhered them with a few Glue Dots.

My sentiment, from the Takeout Treats stamp set, is heat embossed in White on Gorgeous Grape card stock, then cut with the die from the Takeout Thinlits.

I stuck some Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the sentiment and used them to wind loops of Silver Metallic Thread, then to pop it all onto the card front. I finished off by removing the little loop from the end of a Spider Trinket (it just opens up and slides right off) and used a Glue Dot to adhere it to the sentiment. And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Cauldron Bubble stamp set in Gorgeous Grape on a Whisper White panel. Next to it, I added the little hearts and stars from Takeout Treats in Lemon Lime Twist. Then I colored the stars with my Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Marker.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat and then into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

…then I added a little more Mango Melody paper from the Brights DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Super quick and easy for Halloween thanks to the fun Takeout Treats bundle and Cauldron Bubble! Of course, the Toil & Trouble DSP, with its fun – and oh-so-spookilicious colors – helps take it over the top! Hope you like!
