I saved the best for last! This card was my favorite card we made that day. It is a Halloween shaker card. To make the circle area that holds the halloween shaker pieces, we used a product I had no idea that was out there! Normally I would use tiny pieces of pop dots placed very close together around the open area. We used a pop dot product but they are in long thin strips. I searched online to find where I could buy them and found some at Amazon. Unfortunately they are out of stock. The ones I found come in a package of 132 pieces that are 1/8 inch x 4 3/8 inch long. Definitely be on the lookout where to get some either online or in stores. The one important thing to remember when you make a shaker card, is that you glue the acetate piece behind the circle cut out area before you start putting the whole card together. I did not buy the tree die but the more I think about it, the more I want it. I can see it being something easily used even for Christmas cards. Thank you for checking in today. Have a great day and hope you get some crafting in! Manetta

Good morning and a very Happy Monday to you. How was your weekend? I hosted my monthly card class on Saturday which was lovely as always. I always enjoy catching up with my regular ladies and welcoming new crafters to the class. We celebrated Christmas Craft season with spiced biscuits and mince pies over a cuppa during our crafty break. But before we go full Christmas every month I wanted to give the Autumn Winter catalogue Halloween products a bit of an outing. You'd be forgiven for thinking the catalogue only contained Christmas items as these are my favourites but there are also lovely other seasonal stamps and accessories too. I created this Halloween/Autumn card using the Happy Scenes bundle. I created the window scene using the Framelits and matching tree scene stamp set. I stamped my image in Soft Suede and coloured with my markers. I added a bit of colour to the sky and grass with Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky- coloured with a Blender Pen. I cut the cat using the Framelit from Festive Fireplace bundle. I cut him from Basic Black cardstock to reflect the Halloween theme. Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door. I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn lots of lovely freebies and you all get to make a fun crafty project too (no crafting experience necessary!) -XXX- Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

I have for you a sunset scene featuring the Stampin' Up! Happy Scenes Stamp Set. I used the sponging technique to create my "Happy Scene".

I had so much fun creating this Stampin' Up Seas the Day Underwater Scene. The pattern paper for the frame looks like bubbles in the water.

I'm excited to share today's project for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Not only is Jen Brum hosting a super-fun sketch this week, but the challenge provides a perfect platform for me to showcase some new and wonderful products I picked up at Stampin' Up!'s Convention last week. Here's

I didn't have to drive into town today so I had some time to craft. I saw the current challenge for CAS(E) this Sketch come across my feed and decided to play along. When I originally set out to make a card for this challenge I had Christmas in mind. However, when I executed the vision I had in my head it just didn't appeal to me and I started all over. I glanced out the window and decided to go with a fall theme. Here in Alaska signs of autumn are appearing everywhere...fireweed has gone to seed, the air has a certain crispness to it and leaves are starting to change. I used a new set from SU called Happy Scenes that I recently got in my preorder. I stamped the image twice across the front and then colored it with copics. The sentiment is also from a new set coming out, that one is called Sparkly Seasons. I really love how it came out, it's a nice and simple card that can easily be reproduced if need be. Thanks for stopping by! Stamps: Happy Scenes, Sparkly Seasons Paper: Whisper White CS(Thick) Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tangelo Twist Copics:YG03, YG25, G07, E13, Y13, Y18, R05, R08, R46, YR09, YR07

Did you see the trick-or-treat bag I made with the Stampin' Up! Spooky Fun Stamp Set and Halloween Scenes

Good Morning! Happy First Day of Fall! I've got a fun Halloween slider card to show you today using the Spooky Fun stamp set, Halloween Scenes Edgelits and Sliding Star Framelits from Stampin Up! How To Make It: Score the Basic Gray card base at 4 1/4" and fold. Use Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp two sets of tombstones on Smoky Slate cardstock and one moon on Crushed Curry cardstock. Use the Halloween Scenes Edgelits to diecut the Smoky Slate tombstones, the spooky tree from the largest Basic Black piece, the fence from the middle sized piece and the witch from the smallest. Use Paper Snips to trim the moon and then pick up Pumpkin Pie ink with a Stamping Sponge and sponge around the edges of the moon. Use the Clear Wink of Stella and splatter the Basic Gray mat to create a star effect. Allow to fully dry Then use a die from the Sliding Star Framelits to diecut the trail across the sky about 1/2” from the top. Use SNAIL adhesive to attach the tombstones behind the ground. Cut the fence section and glue behind the tree and tombstones and then glue everything to the Basic Gray mat. Use SNAIL Adhesive to attach the Silver Foil mat onto the card base and then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the art piece to the Silver Foil. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional and attach 2 pennies or 2 washers together. Carefully insert the penny/washer into the slot -1 penny/washer on top of slot and 1 penny/washer under the slot. Glue the witch onto the moon and then use a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach the moon to the penny/washer. You will have a flying witch! Measurements: Basic Gray: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 5” x 3 3/4" Silver Foil: 5 1/4" x 4” Crushed Curry: 2” x 2” Basic Black: 3” x 3 3/4" 1 1/4" x 4” 2” x 2” Smoky Slate: 1 1/4" x 3” Stamps: Spooky Fun (142236) Spooky Fun Bundle (144437) Paper: Basic Black (121045); Basic Gray (121044); Crushed Curry (131199); Silver Foil Sheets (132178); Smoky Slate (131202) Ink: Pumpkin Pie (126945); Memento Tuxedo Black (132708) Other: Sliding Star Framelits (141820); Halloween Scenes Edgelits (141842); Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (141897); Stamping Sponges (141337); Paper Snips (103579); Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); SNAIL adhesive (104332); 2 Pennies or Washers I hope you enjoyed today's project!

Hiya friends! The crafty owl herself, Joanne, has a great sketch for us this week at The Paper Players: I delved further into my box of pre-order Holiday catalog goodies and put the Spider Web doilies to good use...as did several DT members too! I took a liberal approach to the sketch using several elements that harkened back to the circles in the sketch. The spider web doily, the offset circle and the silver cording trim all echo the double circle of the sketch. The new Woodlands embossing folder is fabulous and looks equally as beautifully on cardstock or vellum as I've used here. To line up the embossed images perfectly, I simply laid the vellum on top of my cardstock when I ran it through the Big Shot. I heat embossed the "spooky" image from the Among the Branches stamp set in black on Crushed Curry cardstock. I offset the circle framelit when I cut out the image which gave the illusion of a harvest moon. If you look closely you will see that the Spider Web doily has a glossy finish. I covered the front of the doily with Versamark ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. The result is a shiny spider web to coordinate with the embossed sentiment. Besides being totally clear and super clingy, photopolymer stamps have the added bonus of being two-sided. To create the Crushed Curry moon, I stamped the back side of the stamp I used on the front. That is, I turned it over on my clear block and used the back of it--which is a solid circle--as my stamp. This gave me a nice full moon! One stamp = two images! The branch and owl silhouette are also from Among the Branches while the sentiment is from another fabulous new set called Happy Scenes! I hope you've enjoyed my card and the sneak peeks at Holiday Catalog goodies it brings you. Be sure to pop over and check out the rest of the Design Team at The Paper Players. We would love for you to join us before our challenge ends on Friday, August 28th at Noon (PST). Thanks for stopping by!
