CTS #290 Cauldron Bubble Stampin UP

 I'm on a Halloween card making kick this year.  Perhaps because the stamp sets are so adorable.   I used the Stampin up Cauldron Bubble set with matching DSP for the horizontal stripes.   I brushed on some wink of stella to the green bubbling over in the cauldron to make it sparkle a bit.

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

SSC188 TIME TO GET SKETCHY~Thoughtful Branches Stampin Up

OH boy~~  I forgot what mess glitter can be.  haha.  I'm laughing because ladies and gentlemen I'm completely sparkly now.  YIKES.. My little desk is too. Dazzling diamonds are everywhere.  I just wanted a little shimmer to the card and well I shook a tiny dab out and the whole kit and caboodle dumped on the card, lovely (sigh)  so then began the clean up process, which apparently just made it a bit more worse and scattered the loveliness everywhere.   

Any ways no harm is done.  Won't the person receiving this card love the glitter too?   I used my new fabulous stampin up set called thoughtful branches.  It's retired, but I can't seem to get enough of this one the past couple days.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

So I began stamping autumn leaves in a variety of shades.. and found a fabulous piece of ribbon that worked well to tie it all together.   

The stamp sets featured in today's card are:

Stampin Up: Layering Love

Stamping Up: Blended Seasons

Stampin Up:  Thoughtful Branches (one of my new favorites, although it's retired).

Color Dare #310 Thoughtful Branches. Stampin Up

 Today I made a card to be submitted to the challenge at:

 Color My Heart Color Dare

I tried to stick as close as possible to all the colors, the peacock color was actually the hardest one for me to match up.  I had a few different inks and stamped off to create a lighter look, I then asked my hubby which he thought most looked like the peacock color and so the decision was made.  and I stamped my tree leaves, grass and the sentiment with that ink.  I then used the trunk of the tree for the kraft color and also background paper. and the ruby worked well for the apples.   Over all not to shabby. I even tried to tie in the gold with a strand of sequins and couple lose ones at the top.  

The stamp set featured in today's card is:

Stampin Up:  Thoughtful Branches.  My new favorite. 

Thank you for stopping by for visit.

FMS355 Thoughtful Branches Stampin Up

  Another card for today.  I really only packed one box for the home project here, because my hubby was busy taking out insulation in the basement logs and putting it up in the attic.   So I decided to stay out of his way and make cards.  

This one I will submit to the challenge at: 

Freshly Made Sketches

This is a thank you card I made for the woman I bought this set from.  It is Stampin Up, Thoughtful Branches.  What a super lovely set, so many possibilities.  I plan on playing with it some more tomorrow.  I'm really liking that new burlap ribbon I got at Michael's.  Brings the whole card together nicely.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Challenge #290 - Colour~For Being You Stampin Up

 Well folks I tried and tried to take a nice picture of my card so that you could see it truly is a fresh fig purple background instead of looking like blue.  UGH❕ The frustration so I finally just chose the best one possible of all the images.   I really did try to stick with the colors in the challenge I will be submitting this card to:

CAS Colours and Sketches 

I used my Sale-A-Bration For being you stampin up set that I just purchased, and as a thank you to the seller, I made this card for her.   I stamped the giant thanks multiple times in the suggested colors, and also the hearts.  I colored the center one in and layered it on a piece of deep purple paper.  It still didn't pop the way I had intended so I used the glossy accents on the letters and hearts to make them shine.  I like it much better that way. 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit.

TMS #471~Spirited Snowmen Stampin UP

So many things to do today.  We are going to try and pack up a couple rooms in the house, so the flooring can get ripped out to the logs, and then the rebuilding of a floor begins.  Hopefully by next week,  my dear man took off today to help me out with packing and such.    SO I worked quickly to make this card to enter it in the challenge at: 

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I used my Spirited Snowmen from Stampin up.  What a cute little set.  I love the edges of the images.  I think it's artsy looking.   I must admit that the inside snowman was suppose to be for the outside of the card, but he was so small next to the holly berry and leaves, that I chose to then stamp the bigger fella.  Looks much better that way.   Plus the little guy got to be included too.  

I added some wink of stella to the berries, and then covered them with glossy accents.   The snowflakes on the top corner were punched in white, and I added a little pearl to each one, however it was hard to see them, so I punched them out again with the blue cardstock, and that gave them the pop I was looking for.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
