Seeing Stars

I finally got back into my craft cave! Before I dive into my newest products, I had to make a quick baby card. Punches can be a lifesaver when your time is limited. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment. I just love Stampin’ Up! Star punches. If you like them, buy them both because you’ll have regrets if you don’t. Also, don’t forget about the Stampin Up Seeing Stars stamp set that coordinates beautifully with these punches too. I’m always attracted to coordinating stamps and punches because it makes it easy!

Our house guests left on Sunday and I’ve been busy catching up on housework and taking down Christmas decorations. I've been bringing out my Valentines Day decorations to add some more color back to my house as I put away the Christmas stuff.

We’ve had more snow than you can imagine and the only one happy about that is my son Brandon. He could play in the snow all day if you let him. He gets to sled ride at my sitters house. She has a nice hill in her backyard. The other morning as we were arriving at her house Brandon asks me “do you get to sled ride at work?” Ha! I wish I could go sled riding at work. Gotta love the questions of a 4 yr old!

Have a wonderful day & happy stamping!

Craft Cave Invasion

You are probably wondering where I've been? Well, my craft room - aka Craft Cave -has been invaded! A little over a week ago, my husband's best friend son-in-law passed away unexpectedly at age 24. They live out of town and have camped out in our guest room which is also my craft room. I believe they are leaving this weekend, so I should be back full force next week.
Before they arrived, I managed to whip together, a sympathy card. The perfect stamp set for sympathy cards is Stampin' Up! Close As A Memory. I just love it. Let's face it, we typically don't sit down to make sympathy cards on a regular basis. It's usually last minute, in a rush. This set is designed for that. It's so easy to throw together a card with this set. The sentiments that come in the set are really beautiful too.

Ok, all my new supplies from the Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration are calling me. I hope to be a bit more on my regular schedule next week, so get excited to see some new products!

If you live in the Erie area, I will have a Stampin' Up! table set up at the Scrapbooking Crop located at Erie First Assembly of God on January 16th. I will be demonstrating new products and have a make-n-take table. It will be a lot of fun. For more details, drop me an e-mail!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy stamping!

I'm Batty for You! Halloween Card

So who are you Batty for this Halloween? I'm Batty over this awesome Stampin' Up! set "Batty for You" on page 28 of your new catalog. I actually bought it last year when it was in the mini catalog and used it a little last year. I couldn't wait to pull it out this year and combine it with one of the new Cuttlebug embossing folders called "Boo to You". It's a perfect match, isn't it?

This Halloween card was actually so simple to make. After I embossed on SU! Elegant Eggplant cardstock with the Cuttlebug folder, I layered it on a black card and paper pierced completely around the edge with the help of Stampin' Up! Mat Pack. I added black/white grosgrain ribbon to the center and used my Stampin' Up! Scallop Circle and 1 3/8" circle punches to stamp on. I also paper pierced on each scallop and used a white uni-ball Signo Gel Pen to outline the piercing. Cute and easy - that's how we like it!

More fall and Halloween themed cards to come! Stay tuned!
