Hey there! It's the first Sunday of October and time for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

First, a often-overlooked  but lovely set from the Holiday Catalog, Pleasant Pheasants, was the choice of Carol Slack for her swap. She used the Buffalo Check to create her background, which gives it so much warmth with the Early Espresso ink on Cajun Craze!

Carol stamped the pheasants with Cajun Craze ink, then used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move the color over them while at the same time adding shimmer!

 The inside features a lovely sentiment that is included in the set:

Cards created by Mary Lang never disappoint! Mary also used Pleasant Pheasants, but she focused on the wheelbarrow, bucket, and foliage for her autumnal creation. She embossed the Cajun Craze background with the Swirls and Curls Textured Impressions folder for more interest.

Mary's creation is an easel-fold Thanksgiving card!

Finally, Linda Pagel also used the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions folder to emboss the Night of Navy background of this clean-and-simple Winter Woods card.

Linda used Silver Embossing Powder to give the trees dimension and shine. This card could be used for any occasion!

Hey there! It's time for another Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!

Our September theme is "anything BUT Christmas from the Holiday Catalog". I've been working on a Country Home October Class, so today I'm sharing one of those cards:

 I colored the bouquet with Cajun Craze, Old Olive, and Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends, cut them out by hand, then added Clear Wink of Stella to the Blackberry Bliss bloom and the cattails. I sponged the Basket Weave-embossed background with Crumb Cake ink.

 I stamped the milk can with Jet Black StazOn on the Galvanized Metallic Paper before cutting out with Paper Snips.

 I accented the greeting with a strip of Copper Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper and Artisan Pearls.

 I sponged just about everything for a softer, country look!

9-11. What was I doing that morning 17 years ago? I was getting ready to go to work in an insurance office. This morning I'm taking grandbabies to Tuesday School! I'm forever thankful that my job as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator gives me flexibility to help my family whenever they need me!

Today's swaps were both created with the Cauldron Bubble Bundle!

 Laura Milligan's creation used Cauldron Bubble with  the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions folder:

Cauldron Framelits cut out both stamped images and Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper ones! The Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon adds magical sparkle!

Jenna Roby also used Cauldron Bubble for a fun diorama card:

She used  Cauldron Framelits to cut out images stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends.

Sassy little kitty!

The cauldron and ghostie are "floating" on Window Sheet strips:

The spider web is Silver Foil and Basic Black cut with a Cauldron Framelit. A bow of Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy and a Spider Trinket complete the card.

Supplies:

Cauldron Bubble Clear-Mount Bundle [149931]	Toil & Trouble 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [147531]	Black 5/8" (1.6 Cm) Glittered Organdy Ribbon [147897]	Silver Foil Sheets [132178]

Hey there! September 10th is the 41st anniversary of our wedding day! I can hardly believe it's been that long!

Time sure does fly, so today I'm sharing some Halloween swaps before it gets too late!

Mary Lang's card with the Still Night Bundle is Halloween-themed, but leave off the bat and add a Christmas Greeting and you'd have a Christmas card!

Mary superbly colored the owl with Stampin' Blends Markers, added a Winter Woods Bundle evergreen.  She sponged the tree with white craft ink for a snowy, moonlit look!

Two sets of branches, Early Espresso and Whisper White, were layered for the snow-covered look. A Smoky Slate inkpad with lightly brushed over the white "moon". The bat punched with the Spooky Bats Punch were also sponged with white ink.

A custom-sentiment was created with the Labeler Alphabet:

 Janace Charbonneau used the Spooky Sweets Bundle, Rhinestones, and a bit of Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon  to create a fun card:

Simply easy-peasy!

Tomorrow I will share swaps created with the Cauldron Bubble Bundle!

Today's supply list:

Still Night Clear-Mount Bundle [149978]	Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [139673]	Winter Woods Clear-Mount Bundle [149992]	Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad [101731]

The two box pieces are cut from  8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Granny Apple Green. Create two boxes from one 8 1/2" x 11" sheet!

I cut tags embellishments from Gorgeous Grape, Silver Foil, and Toil & Trouble Designer Paper using a Takeout Thinlet.

I heat-embossed the Trick or Tweet ghostie with white powder on Basic Black; cutting with a Takeout Thinlet. The Classic Label-punched greeting is added to the tags using a dental floss threader to pull the Linen Thread through the punched holes.

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning before all of the crazy starts. We are having our family Thanksgiving today, so I have a turkey breast and a honey ham cooking! Alisa was here yesterday to make pumpkin & pecan pies, and the rest of the dishes will be made in a little while. We are also taking our annual family picture today, so lots to do!

I received these two cards in my last swap, and since the Thanksgiving weekend isn't over yet I decided to wasn't too late to share!

First, Jan Rodrian stamped, watercolored with Stampin' Blends, and then cut out the Vintage Leaves oak leaf with the coordinating Leaflets Framelit Dies. She layered onto a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, then adhered it as a flap to a design from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.

Just lovely!

Lift the flap t find a greeting from Best Birds and acorns stamped with the Painted Harvest set. This card would be perfect for the outdoorsman in your life!

My second card to share to day is by Jenna Raby and also features the Vintage Leaves and Leaflets Framelits. Jenna used a technique called "Distressed Direct to Paper" to achieve the splotchy-coppery look on the leaves. She embossed her Chocolate Chip background with the Woodland Textured Impressions Folder. She also heat-embossed a copper edge to the Chocolate Chip layer!

Her greeting starts with a label frame from Labels to Love, heat-embossed with Copper powder on Cajun Craze card stock. She added a greeting from Gourd Goodness with Early Espresso ink.

Hey there! We are having our family Thanksgiving on Saturday, but whenever you are or are going to celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating and giving thanks with your family and friends!

Today I have just one  super-special card to share with you, a punch-art  swap I received from Mary Lang. This card is a true work of art!

 Isn't this gorgeous? Mary perfectly combined four current punches to create  her fall scene: Starburst (sun), Pretty Label (clouds), Tree Builder (autumn trees) and Classic Label (greeting).

Mary started with a card base of Soft Suede, followed by a layer of Pumpkin Pie embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. She sponged the Whipser White layer with Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz, then layered on all of the punched pieces to create a masterpiece! She wrapped a bit of Crushed Curry 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and a bow tied from Crushed Curry Solid Baker's Twine for the perfect finishing touch!

 Everything on this card has been sponged, either with Soft Sued ink or the coordinating color that matches the card stock piece. Mary added shine with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, and stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes with Soft Suede ink before punching with the Classic Label Punch.

 Mary kept the inside pretty clean-and-simple with just a sentiment from Count My Blessings and a single apple punched with the Tree Builder Punch.

Hey there! Later today the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop will start hopping with a Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper theme. While working on my creation for the hop, I made these two cards with the Hearth & Home Thinlets, Cat Punch, and Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper. Even though these weren't my first pick, I LOVE how they turned out!

Starting with a Crumb Cake card base, I added Early Espresso embossed with the Brick Wall Folder, followed by a Crumb Cake window cut with the Hearth & Home Thinlets. Behind the windowpanes I added a rectangle of Painted Autumn Designer Paper.

My favorite part of the card is the kitty punched from the dotted Pumpkin Pie design in the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack.  After adding a collar around the kitty's neck with a Burlap Trim thread, I finished with a greeting from Sitting Here, punched with the Classic Label punch and adhered with dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is also from Sitting Here.

My second card has a bit more fall-ish with the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper behind the window.

Each kitty you punch will be a little different because of the watercolored look of the design.

The Sitting Here phrase actually is a bit longer, but I punched exactly what I needed with the Classic Label Punch!

I inked the kitty from Sitting Here with Peekaboo Peach, then rock-n-rolled one edge with Pumpkin Pie. I used a Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends around the kitty. (Currently Stampin' Blends are only available for demonstrators to pre-order or add to their Demonstrator Starter Kit, but sometime in the next couple of months will be available for you to order too!)

How do you like my runner-up cards? Come back later today or tomorrow to see the first-place winners and take the hop!

Hey there! I love techniques! I love learning new ones and re-discovering old ones. I've been a demonstrator for almost 15 years, so I've learned a lot of them! Today's card used a sort-of-new-sort-of-old technique, Faux Shaving Cream!

The real Shaving Cream technique involves real shaving cream and ink refills, which while loads of fun, is quite messy and time consuming. Stampin' Up! gave us a new background stamp in the Annual Catalog called "Marbled", that looks so much like the end result of the shaving cream technique I just had to use it with Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango ink pads to create this:

After inking the Marbled Background all over with Crushed Curry, I then used the edge and corner of the Tangerine Tango pad to swipe color on top of the first for the swirled look. After laying the Very Vanilla card stock on top of the inked image and gently rubbing to transfer the ink, I then stamped the acorn image from Count My Blessings with Early Espresso. I filled in the gaps with tiny little leaves, also from Count My Blessings. Sponging the edges with Early Espresso ink added warmth and depth.

After stamping "thinking of you", also from Count My Blessings, with Early Espresso, I cut it out with a Layering Oval Framelit, sponged the edges with Early Espresso ink, and then adhered it over an Early Espresso mat cut with an Eastern Medallions Thinlet. I sponged a Touches of Nature Element with Early Espresso, then adhered with a glue dot. I added a pearl, colored with a new product that will be available sometime in the next few months, a Stampin' Blend! (new and improved alcohol markers!)

For the inside layer I huffed on the leftover ink on the Marbled image, then laid the layer on it to get a lighter look. I finished the inside with the remaining Count My Blessings phrase, repeating the acorns, leaves, and sponging.
