Spooky Cat

Yesterday I received the few new items I ordered from the new Holiday Catalog.  I used the new Spooky Night DSP and the cat punch for today's card.  I did not order the coordinating stamp set as I knew I could punch a cat from one of the DSP patterns in the Spooky Night DSP collection.  I used the Layering Square framelits to frame the cat and the spider (the retired Howl-o-ween stamp set).  The sentiment is also from a retired set, Good Greetings.  Cute paper and a very cute punch!  And there are more cute things and pretty things in the Holiday catalog.  If you are a client of mine, I ordered a copy of the Holiday catalog to be mailed to you from Stampin' Up.  Have a great day and weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Tickled Pink

I created today's card using Stampin' Up's Fabulous Flamingo stamp set and the retired Botanical Builders Framelits.  After stamping the flamingo with Pink Pirouette ink on Pink Pirouette cardstock, I adhered that to a Regal Rose card base.  Some palm fronds, sequins and a sentiment from the same stamp set completed the card.  Have a great day!

Orange You Sweet

I decided to see if the Cricut pens I purchased a few years ago still worked. I only tried the black one, but it did work.  I wanted to use the Cricut to add a sentiment to a card I created.  I used a piece of pattern paper from the Whole Lot of Lovely paper collection and fussy-cut some of the fruit.  After fussy-cutting the fruit, I wrote "You're A Peach" on a piece of cardstock using the writing feature on the Cricut.  Then I looked at the fruit and decided these aren't peaches, they are oranges.  So I changed the writing to "Orange You Sweet".  Before adhering the sentiment to the card, I asked John what he thought the fruit was~~peaches or oranges?  He agreed with me that they were oranges.  So I now have a cute thank you card when needed.  Have a great day!

Fab Flowers

Today's card was created using Lawn Fawn's Fab Flower stamp set and coordinating dies.  The flowers are all two-step stamps.  Having the colors of ink that Stampin' Up offers made it quite easy to decide which colors to use together.  I stamped all the leaves directly onto the white cardstock even though there are coordinating dies.  I will save die cutting leaves for when I make a box card similar to those on Pinterest created using this stamp set. 

Today I was able to place a demonstrator order for items from the new Holiday catalog.  There were a couple of things that caught my attention, so I am in a hurry to get those~~like the Halloween DSP and the coordinating cat punch~~so cute!  There is a large selection of Christmas items in the catalog.  I just can't get into all of the Christmas things yet.  I am still in summer mode!  Have a great day!
