Fitting Florets

10/31/2022

To say I'm excited about this new suite would be an understatement.  The Framed Florets Bundle will be in the upcoming Jan-June mini but the other items are only while supplies last through the end of the year. The paper in particular is stunning and one you do not want to miss out on. 

I'm excited to offer a few class options with these great products.  If you are local check out the in person class I'm holding on November 16th.  If you are not local, or can't make that date, check out these options.  

Here is the first card I made with the set.  It's such a simple design but I love it and can't wait to recreate in other colors.

Here's a look at the suite.  You can click on the PDF below to see a full showing of each product and the bundles available.

I'll be sharing more projects with it this week so check back or be sure to follow my Facebook and Instagram pages.

It's been a crazy busy few weeks! How did October become the busiest month? I finally had a little time to craft yesterday and tried out this fun technique that I had been seeing all over. I've done "one sheet wonders" before but this one is different. You stamp in a cross or plus size on the sheet (scroll down to see a messy photo). 

I chose the Christmas Season set along with the Framed & Festive (that you can order next month...or add to a Starter Kit now!) to use on this batch. Grab a bunch of colors and you are set. Here's a photo showing the pieces after I cut down my card stock sheet.

I decided to try to layering them in different ways.

Here's a look at the colors I chose.  I added the Coastal Cabana to give it a little brightness.

If you wanted a visual of what this looks like before it's cut here you go! It's a messy photo but shows the fun. I really enjoyed this process and think it will work with so many stamp sets. 

I did decide that trimming my white base to 8 x 10.5 before I stamped made it easier to complete the cards quickly.  It meant that I could simply cut in 1/2 both directions and not need to do additional trimming.

After making all the holiday cards I decided I needed to try it with a different set so here is my alternative. I love the bright colors.

Have you tried this before?  What stamp sets did you use? 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll continue on with our blog hop. Click next for Julie's amazing fun and back for Elizabeth's great work!

September Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

10/10/2022

I had a lot of fun with this kit! I loved the boxes it was designed to create but it was easy to use the pieces for cards as well.  

For this first card I paired it with the Scary Cute stamp set from the July-December mini catalog. The line of trick or treaters makes such a cute background. 
Picture
When I cut apart one of the lids to use it had score marks already so I added more to create a fun background.  A little splatter with a marker and some of the various elements from the kit makes a simple but festive card. 
Picture
Here I cut the web section from the box lid and then layered it on another piece of the white lid. A few web stamps and it's a quick and easy card!
Picture
The plaid design in all the fun colors might be my favorite part of the kit.  This is another very simple card layout that is easy to recreate. 
Picture
When I cut apart the lids I ended up with the flap pieces leftover but I didn't want to throw them away.  I decided to try layering them and thought it turned out pretty cute! The Glitter Washi tape has quickly become a favorite. Anything that adds sparkle without mess!
Picture
I had this piece of Designer Series Paper from the Host paper pack Celebrate Everything sitting on my desk and thought it was perfect to pair with the purples! 
Picture
Which is your favorite?  Do you send Halloween cards? 

If you enjoy seeing my alternatives each month consider subscribing to get your own kit! I love them, both for the projects as intended and for the fun alternatives I manage to create.
