SSS-Trick or Treat Shadow Box
October 31, 2017Happy Halloween! I’ve been so in love with the Lawn Fawn shadow boxes lately that I wanted to make one featuring these adorable Trick or Treat critters, but the images were too large so I had to get creative and make my own.
I created the shadow box by trimming 2 pieces of Royal Purple cardstock to 3.5″ x 6.75″. Then I scored both of those at 4.5″ & 6.5″. I used one of the Stitched Rectangle dies to create the window opening and the Stitched Slopes & Hills to add some hills inside the shadow box.
For the images I used a combination of the Trick or Treat & Ghostly Greetings stamp sets. I stamped them with Memento ink & colored them with Copics. How fun is this? I think I wanna make a shadow box for everything now:)
Wishing you a safe & happy Halloween! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I also have a winner to announce from my Spellbinders blog hop post.
Congrats Marjorie Dumontier!
SSS-Kind Flower Card Kit
October 28, 2017
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project I created using some of the fun goodies included in the latest November Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.
I just had to create a layered project becasue there are so many beautiful papers in this kit. I started with a cream card base and added a layer using the gorgeous silver embossed paper. Next I stitched a strip of the soft pink pattern paper from the Pebbles paper pack.
Then I used my Silhouette machine to cut a few flowers of green cardstock & vellum using this 3D Flower file by Lori Whitlock. I topped the flowers with one of the beautiful accents stickers included in the kit and then embossed a sentiment from the Kind Flowers stamp set onto slate cardstock.
I finished the card off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins. I don’t normally create such layered projects like this, but I love how the textures & colors work so well together. You can see many more gorgeous projects featuring the November Card kit in the gallery. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! I’m super excited to introduce to you the amazing STAMPtember® Limited Edition Special Card Kit called Hooray! Oh my goodness, this kit is amazing!!! So much fun, color, stickers, rainbows and more! I’ve created a couple of projects to share with you.
My first card features the Dream Come True stamp set included in the kit and sold separately. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored them with Copics.
For the background I masked off some rays using post-it tape and blended distress inks onto distress cardstock.
For my next card I used one of the Carousel Puffy Words stickers for the sentiment on a panel of Royal Purple & Khaki cardstock.
I added few Glitter Girl Stickers by Shimelle that are included in the kit and sold separately.
I embossed a coordinating sentiment from the Dream Come True set and finished it off with a few Nuvo Drops & Sparkling Clear Sequins.

STAMPtember®-CZ Designs
September 18, 2017
Hi there! I’m back with a couple of fantastic new STAMPtember® exclusives designed by Cathy Zielske. I love, love, love Cathy’s style & especially her humor and her new sets certainly do not disappoint!
This first project features the Hollaween set. To create the background I used the ghost die from the coordinating Hollaween die set and die cut an entire panel of Fog cardstock repeatedly. Then I played the die cut Fog panel over top of a white card base and stamped the ghost images inside each die cut opening using Simon Says Stamp inks.
I stamped the “holla” and embossed the other coordinating sentiments and popped everything up with foam tape. To finish it off I added a few Nuvo Jewel drops in coordinating colors.
Next up is the Coolest Yulest set & the Hos dies. I used the smaller of the Hos dies with the White Glittered cardstock. I stacked up several die cuts for dimension.
I adhered several strips of red & green cardstock together to created a colorful, striped panel to contrast the glittered die cuts and then added an embossed coordinating sentiment from Coolest Yulest. To finish off I added a few Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals.

I also created a couple of festive favors using some of the Tim Holtz Halloween Kraft Papers included in the kit with the Lawn Fawn Pillow Box die.

September 12, 2017
Hello! Are you ready for the next STAMPtember® exclusive? It’s adorably awesome!!! The next collaboration set is designed by Mama Elephant for Simon Says Stamp called Rain or Shine and I’m in love.
I am giddy over how fantastic the Mama Elephant images work with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-up die. It was like they were meant to be together!
I also used the hills dies from the Shadow Box Card die to add some grassy hills for my critters to stand on. The box is made out of Lemon Chiffon cardstock and then hill out of Green Apple.

STAMPtember® Tim Holtz

I’ve created two cards using the diamond border stamp to create embossed backgrounds. I embossed one in clear and blended distress inks for a colorful, festive look and I embossed the other in gold onto kraft cardstock for a classic, elegant look.
I stamped and fussy cut the deer images and added bows to their necks with silk ribbon and red baker’s twine.
I embossed the sentiments in white and adhered some Studio Katia crystals to finish it off.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
