Product used:

the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog. See it here.
I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

CUTE HALLOWEEN 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above. It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front. I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right? I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card. Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video. I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

Over $1800 donated to Minot charities with our big stamping sale Saturday

August 10, 2022
As many of you know we hold a big paper crafting sale in June of each year where my customers can sell their excess or unwanted stamping items. This year we added a second sale that we held on Saturday. Why? Sadly one of my best friends passed away last fall and together with her family we sold her collection of stamping & scrapbooking items.

Here's a picture of some of it!

Save

We did add some items that were generously donated by my customers from the big June sale. 100% of this sale was donated to charities in Minot.

Click on the bold names below to read about them. Feel free to donate to any of these non-profits if you'd like to.
- Matthew 25 – a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost.
- Hairball Haven – non-profit feline rescue. We primarily pull cats and kittens from the Minot, ND
- Project Bee – has provided overnight housing for women at local motels and apartments for chronically homeless women with mental health issues.
The craft items were marked down drastically and people noticed! Not many items were over $3 and the majority was .25 – .50 cents! Our goal was to sell as much as we could to raise money for our charities. It was the biggest success we've ever had at a sale! I am still in awe and shock at how fast the items sold. Over $1800 will be donated to these amazing organizations.

My friend was a nurse and amazingly kind & generous. She would be so happy to know we used her craft items to support others in need in our city.

We had so little left; just 6 small boxes! And the leftovers will go towards another group of ladies that make cards for prison inmates, elderly & others in need. Their group is called Folding Angels.

I apologize to those of you who could not take part due to long distance or poor timing. I know it's a tease and I'm sorry about that. But I did want to share it with you.

Special thanks to my friend Clarisse's daughter, Devin, who helped gather and sort the items to be sold. Also to my faithful and generous helpers that spent hours marking & sorting – Marilyn, Lori, Pat, Becky & Joanne plus the many that helped at the sale. It would not have been a success without the many hours of help and guidance you provided.

Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP

August 9, 2022

I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here.

Save

I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here. I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

Save

I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide. If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up! They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.

Save

The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. I love the unique and playful shape of it.
