Unfrogettable Stamping!

Halloween Mom & Me projects

The Mom & Me class earlier this month focused on the Halloween stamp set House of Haunts.  The 3 class projects all included this awesome set!  Attendees used their own sets, which were preordered, and took them home in time to make a lot more Halloween projects.

Here are the 3 projects:  a card, favor treat box and scrapbook page.  The card features the Big Shot exclusive Top Note die (I LOVE it!!) as well as the Arachnophobia wheel.  I used a scallop circle punch to form the clouds with a stampin' sponge.  The colors sponged on were bordering blue, not quite navy and basic black.  The faux stitching on the top note die was done with the white uni-ball signo gel pen.  The owl's eyes were colored in with a pumpkin pie stampin' write marker to match the pumpkin pie background of the card.  The Frankenstien box was created with green galore cardstock and lovely lilac for his hair.  It took a lot of different punches to make him:  circle punches were used to create his eyes & eyelids (1-3/8", 1-1/4", 1"), nose (small oval) and neck bolts (round tab).  The mouth was drawn in and the hair was created with the paper snips.  The 12" x 12" scrapbook layout featured the new Ghostly Greetings DSP and I pulled the colors from that paper:  basic gray, pumpkin pie, kiwi kiss and basic black.  I love the new jumbo wheel Haunting that was also used for the layout.  Thanks for looking!

   

Christmas Card stamp-a-stack

I held my second Christmas card stamp-a-stack this past Sunday and here are the cards that the ladies got to make - 4 each of the 4 designs.

The card on the left features the Snow Swirled stamp set in creamy caramel and ruby red.  It is a CASE of a card I received at Founder's Circle last month that was created by Carol Payne.  It also features the Big Shot exclusive Top Note die.

Card #2 is a very simply layered card using just two colors - Very Vanilla and Bravo Burgundy.  I love the simplicity - it really highlights the amazing image!  Holy Triptych is the stamp set used for this main image and the sentiment is from the hostess level 1 set Best Yet.  The card is embellished with some paper piercing in the corners using the mat pack.

Card #3 features the Season of Joy stamp set.  The tree and sentiment are stamped with Handsome Hunter and is matted on Real Red.  The swirls and flowers are stamped with Certainly Celery on Certainly Celery cardstock.  The tree is embellished with Dazzling Diamonds.

Here is the last card.  It features the Big on Christmas stamp set and pulls the colors from the strip of Ski Slope DSP across the bottom of the card.  The image and sentiment from Short & Sweet is stamped in Chocolate Chip and the image is colored with a blender pen and Baja Breeze ink pulled from the lid of the ink pad.  The snowman was colored using stampin' write markers in Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and More Mustard.  The small snowflakes from Short & Sweet are stamped in Baja Breeze ink to match the bottom strip of Baja Breeze cardstock.

Thanks for looking!

I'm a blogger!

Hello, my name is Debbie Naylor and I am now a blogger!!  Wooooo hoooooo!!!! 

I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator of 3-1/2 years and love all papercrafts including card-making, scrapbooking and gift-making.  I dabble in beading as well and whenever I can mix my two crafts I'm even happier.  After many months of wanting to start a blog, I finally am ready to take the plunge!  I've enjoyed gaining inspiration from so many others and hope to provide some inspiration of my own here.

I have been going non-stop since returning home from Founder's Circle last month and just got through my World Card Making Day open house on Saturday.  Here is a picture of the free make-n-takes everyone got to make - fun!!  The birthday card is in celebration of Stampin' Up!'s 20th birthday this month and uses the new In Color Pacific Point (which I just love) with the Certainly Celery.  The featured Party Hearty stamp set is on sale for 20% off with a qualifying $20 order (see details here).  The owl topper was one I had seen posted by Beth Redding on a yahoo group that I belong to.  I tweaked her owl just a bit and made mine using the Big Shot Top Note exclusive die from Stampin' Up! as well as the 1-1/4" circle and 1/2" circle punches.  It features the new In Color Tangerine Tango as well as Chocolate Chip.  Chocolate Chip is just one of those colors that makes every color you pair it with look better, don't you think?!  I plan to make a lot of these to give to my children's teachers for Halloween later this month. 

If you're interested in purchasing the supplies for either of these projects please contact me and I'll be happy to assist you!
