Flourishing Phrases and Comfort & Healing

I used the stamp set, Flourishing Phrases, and coordinating dies, Flourish Thinlits, to make this card.  I also combined Dapper Denim with Pool Party for, what I think, is a "I can be anything you want me to be" card.
This is one of the cards I am offering in all of my September 6, September 8, and September 10, 2016 classes.  
Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Dapper Denim scored at 4 1/4.
• The next layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Basic Black.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Pool Party. 
• The Basic Black piece under the layer with the words is 3 3/4 x 1 3/4.  The Pool Party layer (with the words) is 3 3/4 x 1 5/8.
• I cut out the flowers with the Flourish Thinlits Dies and Basic Black cardstock, and glued them to my card with a Fine Tip Glue Pen.
• The words were stamped with Archival Black Ink.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Spooky Fun, Halloween Scares, and Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies

I offered this "scary" Halloween card in all of my August 2016 card classes, and it was a big hit, and quite popular.  
The Halloween sets in SU's 2016-17 Holiday Mini are so darn cute, and my demonstrator pre-order included everything "Halloweeny".  
This Holiday catalog, to me, is the best Stampin' Up! has had in a long time.  If you do not have a SU demonstrator, and would like a copy of the new Holiday Mini, please let me know.  I'd be more than happy to send one to you.
Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black scored at 4 1/4.
• The next layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Pumpkin Pie, embossed with the Woodland embossing folder.
• Next is a 1 7/8 x 3 3/4 piece of Halloween Night DSP, with a 2 x 3 7/8 piece of Basic Gray base. 
• The Smokey Slate circle is cut from the Circle Framelits. (the retired ones).
• I stamped the house from Halloween Scares (before embossing the Pumpkin Pie piece), and the witch and words from Spooky Fun with Archival Black ink.
• The fence, tree and bats were cut out with the Big Shot and the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies using Black Glimmer paper. 
• I colored the windows of the house with a Crushed Curry marker, (part of the Regals Collection).
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

August 2016 Hostess Club Project-Pillow Top Technique with Thoughts & Prayers and Rose Wonder

Each month when my Hostess Club meets, and I like to offer fun and unique projects or techniques.  This is one of the two cards we made at my August 25, 2016 meeting.  To get the pillow-top look, sponge on the edge of a window sheet, or a piece of acetate, to get the look of a, you guessed it, a mattress pillow-top.  If you would see a fantastic video to make a card like this one, visit Gina K Designs and see her video Here.  

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Tip Top Taupe scored at 4 1/4.
• The next layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Rose Red.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White.
• The oval base is Tip Top Taupe, and the words are stamped on Whisper White with Early Espresso ink.
• The leaves from Thoughts & Prayers are stamped with Tip Top Taupe ink.
• The baby butterflies are punched from a non-SU punch (say it isn't so, right?), with Rose Red.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

Cookie Cutter Christmas Shutter-Card, for my August, 2016 Hostess Club

Each month when my Hostess Club meets, I like to offer two fun projects and/or a technique.  This cute interactive Christmas Shutter Card is one everyone will make at my August 25, 2016 meeting. 
The stamp sets and DSP I used are from the Stampin' Up! 2016-17 Holiday Mini. If you do not have a demonstrator, and would like a complimentary catalog, please let me know.  I will be more than happy to mail one to you.
You can find lots of Shutter Card instruction videos on YouTube, and my favorite was from Christi Beck at StampinTx, and you can see Christi's video Here.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Real Red scored at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8.
• I covered the front two flaps with two pieces of 2 x 5 3/8 of Whisper White.  On top of the White, I glued two pieces of 1 7/8 x 5 1/8 of Candy Cane Lane DSP (page 5, item #141981).  I also added two 2 x 5 3/8 pieces of Whisper White to the inside flaps.  I felt there needed to be somewhere to write something, like Hi, Hello, or maybe Merry Christmas.
• The Gingerbread man is from Cookie Cutter Christmas, page 6, item #142043.
• The little candy cane and star on the inside is from Candy Cane Christmas, page 5, item #142040. 
• The words on the belly band is from Christmas Magic, page 22, item #142119.  
• I used all the measurements for the rest of card, just as Christi did, and she is so easy to follow.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?

• The next layer is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Old Olive.

• I stamped the leaves from the In the Meadow trees and grass on a 1 3/4 x 4 1/2 piece of Whisper White and backed it with a 1 7/8 x 4 5/8 piece of Old Olive.
• The swing was stamped in Soft Suede on a piece of 3 x 2 7/8 piece of Whisper White, and backed with a 3 1/8 x 3 piece of Old Olive.  I colored the swing slats with a Soft Suede marker.  The words were stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink.
