A Little Witchcraft

I know Halloween is still months away, but with the release of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog in just a few days, I couldn't help but have a little play:


I had such fun pulling together a little of this and a little of that!  First let's look at the stamps:


I used stamps from two sets:  Banner Year and Festive Post.  And using Festive Post reminded me that I can use my Postage Stamp punch.  So it was fun to find small stamps to fit.

I stamped, punched and then layered them on a black die-cut using the Ornate Layers dies.  (I love the little circles all the way around, allowing my Pumpkin Pie layer to show through).

And look at that spider-webby ribbon behind the punches:


That's the new Metallic Mesh ribbon!  Perfect for Halloween, with its silvery sheen and open mesh.


The Plaid Tidings patterned paper set the Halloween mood, and I mounted the greeting over a Stitched Triangle - does it look like a witches hat?

Are you getting a little spooked?

Whiskey Business

Need a masculine card?  Check out Whiskey Business in the Annual Catalog.  This is the perfect set for the discerning male (or woman who likes a little "hydration" now and then 😁).


The decanter and hi-ball glass are the perfect images along with some really cute greetings!  I realize that I need a better coloring technique for these, and will get a-practicing!  But I still like how the card came out.


The card base is Gray Granite, with a Basic Gray panel (layered on Shaded Spruce).  The panel was embossed with one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders, for a nice, masculine background.  The "table" is from Pallet Thoughts - the wood image was stamped and cut into strips, with some sponging along all the edges.


Who wouldn't love a little "Five O'clock Somewhere" card?

Be Jolly

The other day I showed you a sketch challenge that one of my fellow Ink Masters sent to our team:


I shared a card that I made using the sketch, and today I have one more, for my Merry Monday:


I know it's still early for Christmas cards, but with the August - December 2020 Mini Catalog (AKA Holiday Mini) making its debut in just a few more days (August 4th!), I thought maybe you'd like to see a little inspiration.  Why not get a head start?

I love the Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper!  I mixed two patterns, in Mossy Meadow and Real Red to create this card.  Then I added a Whisper White panel and a greeting from Christmas Gleaming.  This is a returning suite from last year - it was so popular it actually sold out!  So Stampin' UP brought it back for another go-round, and I'm SO happy they did!  


The holly was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, then cut with my Scan-n-Cut.  And check out that Mossy Meadow greeting:


Using the Stamparatus, I stamped it first in Mossy Meadow then stamped it again with Versamark, and heat embossed the greeting with Clear embossing powder.  Such a neat trick to make your greetings pop!  


A Mossy Meadow Striped bow and some Gold Glitter Enamel dots finish off my holiday card.  



Just a few more days to earn your Bonus Days coupons:
