Wishing You Well

Welcome to the final day in my week long series of sneak peeks at some of the wonderful new products available in Stampin' Up!'s upcoming Fall/Holiday Catalog.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing these products and are looking forward to getting them in your hands to make your own wonderful creations! 

Today's last stop was created by my very talented sister and is a look at the Wishing You Well stamp set.  This one is at the top of my wish list for my next order. 

The image is stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and stamped in Soft Suede.  The greeting is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  The card base is Cajun Craze cardstock.  A split panel from the Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack is adhered to a panel of Basic Black.  The stamped image is bordered by Basic Black and all is mounted to the card base and layers. 

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend and are able to spend at least part of your time crafting!

Bubble, Bubble

It's Day 4 of my week long look at sneak peeks from Stampin' Up!'s upcoming Fall/Holiday Catalog.  Today's card is a Halloween card.  I'm also submitting this card for this week's challenge at The Paper Players.  It's a sketch challenge.

Click the image above to go to The Paper Players and take a look at the other entries.

And here is my card:

I used products from the Toil & Trouble suite to create my card.  And there is very little stamping on this card.  The greeting for my card is from the Cauldron Bubble stamp set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  That's it!  The beautiful paper does the heavy lifting on this card.  The Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper has so many wonderful images that coordinate with the Cauldron Bubble Stamp set!  And, for an even bigger bonus, the Cauldron Framelits Dies fit both the images in the stamp set and in the designer series paper!  Woohoo!!!  

I hope you are enjoying this week's look at products from the new Fall/Holiday Catalog.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow for my final sneak peek - and it's from my very talented sister!

Noel

Welcome back for Day 3 of my week long sneak peek at items from the upcoming Fall/Holiday Catalog.  Today I'm sharing a beautiful Christmas card.  I used products from the Joyous Noel suite to create my card.  Take a look:

The card base is a piece of Merry Merlot card stock.   I added a piece of Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper bordered with strips of Tranquil Tide Glimmer Paper from the Joyous Noel 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper pack.  The greeting is stamped in Merry Merlot ink onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Noel stamp set.  The greeting panel and the framing oval are from the Layering Ovals Framelits and Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I added a final strip of Tranquil Tide Glimmer Paper across the middle of the card.

Grateful Heart

Today is Day 1 of my week-long look at Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Fall and Holiday Catalog  Today's card uses the Falling For Leaves bundle.  There are many great images in this set along with coordinating thinlits that will make beautiful fall cards!

My card was created by adhering 4 equal size pieces of card stock in Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Tranquil Tide on a Crumb Cake mat.  I stamped the main leaf image in Versa Mark.  Using a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock, I stamped the leaf image in the same color, then stamped the greeting in black.  I sponged Tranquil Tide ink along the edges of the leaf.  I added some Metallic Pearls and 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to finish off the card.  The image panel was adhered to a Crumb Cake card base and the leaf was attached with Dimensionals.

Merry Christmas

I know -- it seems so early to be talking Christmas, but have you been to the stores lately?  It's everywhere!  In fact, my local Hobby Lobby had Christmas decorations in store and on display by Memorial Day weekend!

I didn't get started that early!

Anyhow, this card came about from an experiment and some scraps laying on my desk.   There's a new (to me) product coming in the Holiday Catalog -- Shimmer Paint.  Shimmer Paint is offered in 4 shades/colors:  Bright Copper, Champagne Mist, Frost White, and Vegas Gold.  I was intrigued when I saw it and since I never used it, I  opened the bottle of Champagne Mist and the doily stamp from the Very Vintage host set and went to work.  I wish I had photographed the process, but I did not.  I'll make another card soon and take pictures while I work to show you.  But I used a sponge to apply the Glimmer Paint to the stamp and then stamped the cardstock.  When the Shimmer Paint dried, I was very happy with the result.  A couple of days later, I found the layers for this card laying on top of one another and had to make a card.  The key feature for this card is the images on the background layer.  I really like this affect and think it will be beautiful on those fall and Christmas cards!
