Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home — I love this saying and everyone's "home" is different.
Today's "home" is a coffin filled with Halloween treats.
It's a sneak peek from the Holiday Catalog — that means brand new product.
I saw this cutie on a display table at a demonstrator event this past weekend.
I can't wait to make one of my very own.

Home Sweet Home
I can't wait to make one of my very own.
It uses a brand new thinlit — Home Sweet Home.
Oh, the fun you can make with this framelit set.
This coffin can be a gingerbread house, a Halloween house
or even just a plain neighborhood house.
For our coffin she used Black cardstock to cut out the house pieces — no windows cut out.
She didn't seal the house shut — that gives the top of the coffin.
She added a piece of window sheet to cover the candy inside.
She then used another new item — the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set to
stamp Dracula and color in with markers.
There is even a punch to punch him out — so awesome.

I just loved how this looks and can't wait for you to
design so many of your own houses.

I can't share my online store for these items yet — you can start ordering them on Thursday, Sept. 1st!!!

Serene Thoughtful Branches

Have you ordered your Thoughtful Branches bundle yet?
You only have today and tomorrow to place that order.
This beautiful bundle won't be available on Thursday.
I have a class tomorrow night and we are going to
make a wonderful four season 11" x 14" framed art piece.
You have to have the bundle to recreate it (I'm a couple other stamp sets too).
Wait until you see it — I'll post that on Thursday but the bundle will no longer be available.

Today I'm sharing a gorgeous card made using the Thoughtful Branches bundle and the
Serene Scenery designer paper stack.  This paper is fabulous — it looks like a photo.
I swear you could put some of the papers in a frame by itself — it is that wonderful.
Any — here is the card.
Scenic Branches
Very sweet & simple to make.
Stamp the "ground" several times right on the designer paper.
Ink the leaf stamp with Old Olive and stamp — clean — ink again with Crushed Curry.
Cut out two tree with the framelit — both from Tip Top Taupe cardstock — sponge edges.
Cut out tree top from Crushed Curry cardstock — sponge edge.
Assemble card.

See I told you it was sweet & simple.

Peace on Earth

I know it’s still August but I am preparing for the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.
We can start ordering from it on Thursday — woohoo!!!
To get you ready I thought I would share a card with you that uses supplies
that are in the Annual Catalog — yes you can start preparing for the holidays with stamp sets that you may already have.  This card is clean and simple.  It was a swap card from an event I attended this past weekend.  I didn’t find a name on the swap so I’m sorry I can’t give credit to the designer. 
Peace on Earth
She used the Softly Falling embossing folder for the background.
The stamping is done with the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and Night of Navy ink.
She cut out Peace using the Christmas Greetings Thinlits.
Don’t you love the “On Earth” banner?  That was cut out using the Bunch of Banners framelits.  And don’t forget the finishing touch — Rhinestones — one in the center of the snowflake and a couple scattered on the card front.
