Sampling Halloween Hello

Hey Everyone! a few weeks back, I hinted that I had made a Halloween sampler with the set Halloween Hello found in the Holiday mini catalog.. Well, I am here to share that with you today.. :)
I simply can not tell you how much I love sitting down and making these samplers. My Mom sat right along beside me and created her own too, and it was so different from mine.. I think that is where my excitement comes from really... ! 
 
 
 and here is a close up, to see some of he details -
 

 
I used some Retired SU Halloween DSP, for the background paper.. I have a so much Halloween DSP, it is RIDICULOUS! (note to self.. get that banner made! *wink*)  The images in  this set really lend themselves to creating a sampler too! I hope you give it a try..:) OK, I am off to get some my chores done so I can maybe start that banner..wish me luck! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Happy Day

Hey Everyone.. :) I have another card to share today made with the Best of Autumn set from SU. This one is made with the little fall tree from the set.. I can not believe that I passed up on original set, Tree for all Seasons, when it was in the catalog.. It's not like I didn't have a chance either, it was available for what seemed like forever.. And why wouldn't be.. it is SO cute. So forgive me if these images are old to you, they are so new and fresh for me. :) I paired my tree with another stamp from another best of set, Best of Greetings.. LOVE! Here is my card -
 
 
So Fun! I just love that little rake leaning up against the tree.. I made my leaves for the tree in different colors, Cherry Cobbler, Tangerine tango, and Crushed Curry. My sentiment was stamped in Versamark onto Crushed Curry card stock, then heat embossed with white EP, then cut out. I paired it with a few punched "clouds" made with the XL builder cupcake punch. I really like the outcome, and hopefully you do too! :) OK, Off to get the kiddos packed for a weekend of Camping.. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Piece(ful) Thanks


Hey Everyone... I had some time yesterday afternoon to sit and play with some paper and ink, and thought I would share.. I used one of the Best of 25 sets.. the Best of Autumn. I knew this was a must have set considering I missed all of these images when they were released within their original sets. Here is my card -
 
 
I simply stamped the harvested pumpkin image onto several different colored scraps in black ink, cut out a portion, then pieced them onto the stamped image on the Summer Starfruit panel. Added a little Linen thread and a button for detail, and sentiment. LOVE! OK, off to get some chores done before the kiddos are home from school. :) Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Birthday Fishes


Hey Everyone.... I have a quick post this evening... thought I would sneak in here before dinner is done on the stove.. :) I have a Birthday card to share today. My beautiful step-daughter, Cassidy, is going to be 18 next week, so I needed a special card that is "her". She has an amazing sense of humor, so why not make her a punny card -
 
 
I started with the single stamp Fishin' Around from the main catalog, added a cupcake from the Best of Birthdays set, and pieced together a sentiment from Remembering your Birthday, and the Designer Typeset photo polymer set. It took a while to get it all colored and make the little birthday hats from Strawberry slush DSP... totally worth it cause.. I know she is going to love it! OK, got to get back to getting dinner ready.. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! :)
 
Heather
 
P.S. - I have to apologize for those little oily gray marks on the whisper white panel.. They are not on the card IRL, but show up on the photo... Weird??

A Batty hello


Hello Everyone... I hope everyone is staying cool today.. Here in Chicagoland it's supposed to reach 100 degrees... Phew! If that isn't a reason to stay inside and get a little crafty, I don't know what is! *wink* Well,....I took my own advice, and got creative with the set Halloween Hello from the current holiday catalog. I kept things real simple again -
 
 
Just paper, ink, and some black glitter too. I put some black glitter on my little bat, just can't see it real well in the picture.. Sorry. My moon was made by reverse masking. I punched a circle out of a scrap, and then placed it where I wanted it, then sponged Gumball Green ink in the circle. LOVE! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Grateful, Paper and Ink


Hey Everyone,.. I am working late tonight, and decided to take a break and share another one of our club cards for this month. I like to give the ladies a variety of styles during our club meetings. Here is our second card for this months gathering -
 

 
This card is almost one layer except for the sentiment. This is probably my most favorite style of stamping, clean and simple..But if I kept it to just paper and ink, WHAT would  I do with everything I am always saying I "absolutely need"... *wink* OK, that's it for me, back to work.. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
