Halloween Characters!

It's been a while since I played with my Owl Punch but after seeing these characters while surfing our Demo Web site, it was time to play! I used the Scallop Border Punch on the fence and Watercolor Pencils to create the individual boards. The moon is sponged in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Ink. The owls were made with a variety of our punches.

Holiday Frame Christmas Card

Once again the idea for this card came from our Stampin'Up! Demonstrator Gallery. I spend way too much time browsing!!

I had so much fun  sanding the cardstock to make the embossed design using the new Core'dinations Cardstock in Gumball Green and the  Holiday Frame Embossing Folder. The cute stamped images are from the new Joyous Celebrations stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue. The cardfront is then attached to a Cherry Cobbler card. I love this simple card. I think it is stunning!

I think the folks at Stampin'Up! might actually be losing it!? Check out this really cute video spoof to see what you can embellish!

Ornament Christmas Card

Isn't this card wonderfully elegant? My picture really doesn't do it justice. In real life it shimmers and sparkles,  thanks in part to the ornament that has been cut from Silver Shimmer paper using one of the Holiday Ornaments Framelits and is mounted behind the Cherry Cobbler ornament. The Cherry Cobbler ornament has been accented with Dazzling Details and Jewels, and really sparkles! Adding to the sparkle also is one  of the new Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons on top of the Organza Bow. The beautiful embossing on the white layer is done using the  Holiday Frame Embossing Folder and it all is mounted on a Cherry Cobbler card. The complete look is just stunning!

Thanksgiving Card

Here is another card that I received in our small Demo Swap for the Holiday Catalogue. There is no name on the back so I can't give the designer credit, but I love this card. What a great way to use the new single stamp called Tweet Leaves. She has used markers to ink the stamp and then cut it with Autumn Accents BigZ Die. The background leaves have all been put through the BigShot with different embossing folders and then cut with the same Die. I also love the way she has used the Background Woodgrain stamp together with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.
