Welcome to the 2014 Fall Holiday Blog Hop, brought to you by the Stampin' Addicts ! I just love fall and everything that comes with it so...

I'm sure it might be so terribly commercial, but I love the change of seasons. I like going to the store and seeing all the cute Halloween and Fall things this time of year. I try not to buy very much, especially that the last few years I haven't even put decorative things out!! However, I did come home from Khol's last week with three Halloween hand towels, and they're washed and waiting another week or so to appear in the bathroom. And I did handle a bag of candy corn, but I had to put it back! I only allow myself to buy ONE bag at the beginning of October and when it's gone, it's gone! Okay, I'm sure you came here to see my scary fun projects! All my cards feature the Holiday Home stamp set and the matching framelits--buy the bundle and save 15%, woohoo! I originally bought this set thinking of Christmas cards and because the tall house looks like the house we're having built. But, can you say "Fall Fest stamp set on backorder?" So I dove on in after a few laps around Pinterest! And WOW! and I am pretty happy with what came out! The colors for all the cards are: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Elegant Eggplant,Early Expresso, Smoky Slate and Basic Gray. I call this one the Halloween Sampler Card. I just love all the little bits of iconic Halloween images. Especially that teeny tiny spider! Here's the Spooky House Card. Isn't it cool how I punched out the moon so you can get the yellow from the whole piece of card stock behind? And just in case you're not into Scary Fun, here is a sweet little card featuring a fall tree and falling leaves. The greeting is from the Good Greetings Hostess Set (FREE with a $300 workshop). Well, I certainly hoped that you enjoyed your visit here at the crafty yogi! For more inspiration, click the links below. For Maria's blog, click here!

Good morning and welcome to Ink a Doodle Creations! Today the design team members over Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration are sharing fun projects made with all new items from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog. Lets just say, you are gonna love this catalog, I already own about one each of everything....my poor checkbook is so mad at me right now!! One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. Next to Christmas, its my favorite one for decorating my home, making cute and fun projects and who doesn't love the yummy chocolate candy you get!! I decided to create with one of the new Halloween stamp sets called, "Freaky Friends" and coordinating DSP pack, Motley Monsters. This set is just full of cute little monsters! The layout of my card is really simple so I'm not gonna explain in detail how its put together, but I will say I used three more new items from the mini on this card. Can you guess what they are?! Ok, times up! #1-ghoulish greetings stamp set, #2-white/tangerine tango two tine trim, #3-lucky stars embossing folder. Now time for this cute little box. Wonna know how I made it? Of course you do! You know that ever so needed, awesome, terrific envelope punch board we have? Well we now have another ever so needed, awesome and terrific box making punch board!!! This box started out as a 8"x8" piece of paper and now its transformed into this cute 2-1/4"x2-1/4"x1-3/4". I stamped the box with the spooky eyes from the same stamp set and wrapped a band around the box with the same matching DSP. I wrapped and tied a bow using again the same twist trim and attached a tag I created. I plan to create another card and box, and fill each with my sons favorite chocolates and their Halloween treats are finished!!! If you would like to get your hands on the new Stampin' Up!

I've held a class these last two days to introduce the Holiday Catalog. During the class my customers created three cards using Holiday Catalog product. This is one of the projects I featured. The projects have been well received. I had 26 people here during the last two days and they all agreed that anything […]

This card with the Seasonally Scattered stamp set, was probably the most work out of all the cards. I hand cut out the "thanks" with an exacto knife and scissors and got the exact look I was going for! I really love the way the Tangelo Twist pops against the Coastal Cabana. The colors on this card are Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Tangelo Twist, Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz.

Hello there! This is one of the cards we made at Club Card Night last night using the Fall Fest/Fun Fall Bundle. I started with a Basic Black base and adhered two designs from Motley Monsters DSP. I made the tag by embossing the single stamp Halloween Street with VersaMark and Crushed Curry Embossing Powder. I added a bit of Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon and attached it with a teeny staple made with the Handheld Stapler. For the ghostest with the mostest, I stamped the image with Whisper White Craft ink onto Sahara Sand and embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I cut him out with the Fun Fall Framelits and adhered with Dimensionals. I added a Crushed Curry moon behind him using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and stamped a trio of bats from Holiday Home with black ink. This was such a fun card to make and the new Holiday Catalog made it easy! I've got lots more cards and projects to share with you over the next week, so make sure to check back tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by:)

I couldn't wait to show you this! I just finished it and normally I would wait until daylight tomorrow to take a good/better picture and post it later. You know, spread out the posts...but instead two in one day?! That's crazy talk. But...I just couldn't wait. You'll know why when I show you what I made following this fabulous tutorial from my friend Ginger: EEK! Isn't that cute?! Ginger's tutorial shows you how to use any framelit to make a die-cut border. It's super easy and once you make one, you won't look at your framelits the same way again. I know I'm looking to see what other shapes I can turn into a border... I showed this technique at stamp club this past week and it was a big hit! After I used Ginger's tutorial to cut my ghosts with the Fun Fall Framelits, I stamped them with the matching ghost from the Fall Fest stamp set and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The grinning faces are from the same set and stamped in Tangerine Tango. I didn't like the unfinished look to the inside where I could see the back edge of the black cardstock. I covered it up with two more die cut ghosts, secured them in place and then gave them a sinister grin with the same faces from Fall Fest. Isn't that paper adorable too? It's called Motely Monsters DSP and you'll find it with the Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits all available in the Holiday Catalog going live on Thursday, August 28th. If you haven't already received a Holiday Catalog from a demonstrator, I would love to send you one! Just leave your name and email in a comment and I will contact you for an address. You're not going to believe all the wonderful products in this Holiday Catalog--it's all fabulous, truly! Thanks for stopping by! edited to add: here's the original video tutorial for this technique from Danielle Flanders Table built using Product Table Builder by The Crafty Owl - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
