Spooky Night


Today's card is another fun Halloween card using the Spooky Cat stamp set and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.  Warm fall colors always cheer me up.  Living in Houston, its always hot late into the Fall.  Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze make me think of cool weather and finally wearing long pants and long sleeved tops without dying from the heat!  This is another wonderful cat-inspired Halloween card that will cheer up your day.  Looking back at my posts over the past few months, I'm amazed at the variety of projects I've made using this stamp set.  If you want one Halloween stamp set this season, order this one today!       
  
  



The basecard for this card is Pumpkin Pie, then a layer of one of the patterns from the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper pack.  

The center image is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink on Whisper White, using one of the images from the Spooky Cat stamp set.  The sentiment, also from that set, is stamped in Pumpkin Pie.  

The main image is framed in a layer of Basic Black and another wider layer in Pumpkin Pie.      

       





I used the 7/8" Striped Ribbon and bow to add drama to a pretty simple card.  The ball above the cats tail is a Silver Faceted Jewel.  

Take a look at the fun patterns included in the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper pack from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Father Christmas stamp set from Stampin' Up!

  • Christmas Card with Father Christmas stamps set
  • Christmas Card Class - Oct 22
  • October Specials 

Santa Christmas


Today's card comes from one of the Holiday stamps in the main catalog, not the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  Father Christmas stamp set is one of the traditional stamp sets that I've loved since it was released. Paired with the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers, with its deep Old Olive compliments, this just brightens the season.  

Take a look at the designs in the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers below.     
  
  



The basecard for this card is Old Olive, then a layer of Basic Black, and then a layer of Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP).  There is also a stripe of Pick a Pattern Washi Tape along the left edge of the DSP.    

A two inch wide Very Vanilla tag was punched with the Scalloped Tag Punch, and the Santa is stamped in Basic Black Archival.  The tree is the only item I colored on the Santa image.  I used the new Old Olive Blends, new alcohol blender pens being tested by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  The top of the tag includes a 3/8" Gold and Very Vanilla Metallic Edged Ribbon and Mini Gold Sequins.   I also cut a few pine sprigs with Pretty Pines Thinlits, tucked behind the bow.       





I used one of the sentiments from the Hearts come Home set and a banner from Rose Wonder.  I created the banner using White embossing on an Old Olive tag and die cut the tag using the Rose Garden Thinlit.  The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.     

Take a look at the striking olive, black, and white designs included in the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper pack from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.
