Pick a Pack of Paper Promotion

Boy ... say that 3 times fast! LOL!

There's no better time to "love what you do" and "share what you love" than the month of October! For a limited time, you can enjoy six months of FREE Designer Series Paper when you sign up to be a demonstrator.

You'll receive one FREE package of Designer Series Paper, every month for the next six months, when you join in October! And the cool part is, I get it, too, just for the privilege of being the demonstrator who you signed up under. We both win!

Ready for the deal to get even better? Not only will you earn one free package of Designer Series Paper for joining,  you can also earn MORE paper for up to five recruits of your own! That means you have the potential to earn five free packages of Designer Series Paper, EVERY MONTH, for six months. WOW!

Ready for details? Here's the fine print:

• You must sign up at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/scrapnstamp during the month of October 2014. The papers are redeemable beginning November 2014 and ending April 2015.

Trick or Treat Muslin Bag

Today's project is a SUPER cute Mini Muslin Bag all ready to fill with candy for Halloween.

Isn't it adorable?  This was really fun to make!  I think some of my co-workers will be getting these for Halloween.

I started out by using a Mini Muslin Bag (BTW you get 8 of these for only $9.95!), the Dots & Stripes Decorative Mask, a Sponge Dauber and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink.  You can see a photo of the Decorative Masks below.

I simply laid the Dots Decorative Mask over the Muslin Bag, inked up the sponge Dauber with the Tangerine Tango ink and "colored" in the circles.  Super easy!

Here's the picture from the catalog showing the Dots & Stripes Decorative masks.  These are great for making a quick background for any project!

Here's a close-up of the tag.  The foundation of the tag starts with Basic Black Card Stock cut with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.  Next is a layer of Tangerine Tango Card Stock cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits and pierced around the edges with the Occasions Paper Piercing Pack.  On top of that is the cute candy corn from Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.  It has been cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  Finally, the sentiment is from the Good Greeting Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  It's finished off with a Tangerine Tango Candy Dot and a couple of Frosted Sequins.

Fall Fest & Fun Fall Framelits

Fall is my favorite time of year.  While it seems to be here a little early this year, I'm loving this weather!  Today's card is a super cute one featuring the Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits Dies Bundle from the Holiday Catalog.  Gotta love saving money with those bundles!!

I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) this card from Stampin' Up! demonstrator Kristi Gray.  It's just so stinkin' cute!  You'll find a list of all of the supplies I used at the end of this post.

The card base is Basic Black cut at 4 1/4' x 11" and scored  at 5 1/2".  I then cut 2″ off of the front panel up to my score line at 5 1/2".  So the card opens like this:  

The front panel is layered with a 5 3/8" x 2 1/8" piece of Crushed Curry card stock and a 5 1/8" x 1 7/8" piece of Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. 

The pumpkins are stamped on Whisper White card stock in Tangerine Tango and then the faces were added with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The leaves were cut out of Crushed Curry and Basic Black card stock and adhered using Glue Dots.  I topped them off with some tiny bows made from Tangerine Tango Baker's Twine -- also adhered with Glue Dots.  The front two are popped up with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals.  Here's a close up:

The inside of my card has a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White card stock.  It is stamped with a sentiment from the new Good Greeting hostess set.  This set is just full of fabulous sentiments!

Wow ... Stampin' Up has outdone themselves with their new videos posted on  their Stampin' Up! YouTube Channel.  Today I'm going to share some of my favorites with you.

Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer Bundle

Stampin' Up! has created this bundle with new alignment tabs!  You have to watch the video to see how amazing this is.  This bundle will be featured in my November Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Series!

 

Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies

These are so stinkin' cute ... and easy, too!  We will be making these at my September Stamp Club meeting.  Would you like to make one these?  The Stamp Club is open to anyone who would like to attend.  You can attend for either a $15 fee or attend for FREE with a minimum $25 order.  Email me today to RSVP.

Gift Box Punch Board

Want to make your own gift boxes this year?  Here's the product to do it!  For those of you familiar with the Envelope Punch Board this is very similar.  It's a great way to make just the right size -- up to 4" square.

And don't forget the paper ... Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper.

  

Last, but not least is the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies.  I have to admit I was pretty confused when I got this die.  I just couldn't figure out how to get the snowflake cut all of the way out.  Watch this video and you'll see how!  We will be using this in my October Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Series!

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did.  Be sure to check out th 2014 Holiday Catalog PDF and you browse all of the Holiday items Online.
