Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!


Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

 

 

 

 

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

  • Textured Notes & Botanical Textures fun fold card with video tutorial


    I shared this fun fold card on last week's video. We also made it at my Team meeting in March. 

    The back of the card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the center is an accordion style fold that shows off your designer paper. 

    I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder on the Azure Afternoon layer – it's on the Last Chance list here. 

    The stamp set is the Textured Notes and the DSP is the Botanical Textures.  If you follow me you'll realize I cannot get enough of both of these products!  

    Here's the view with the card opened:

  • New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch


    Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

    I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too!  My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.  

    This layout was inspired by the following sketch.  I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration.  I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly! 

    I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch.  See it here.  

    As you can see I did not follow it exactly.  My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3".  The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.  

    The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set.  One of my new favorite greeting sets.  You're going to love it! 

    I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.

  • Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!


    I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop.  They're filled with wood accents and textures. 

    I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.  

    It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down. 

    Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

    The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April. 

    Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!
