Wow! Check out the Magic in This Night Samplers! Remember Punch Art Wednesday?


If you've followed me for awhile you may remember I used to do a Punch Art Wednesday post almost every week!  I loved creating things with punches.  But I've gotten away from that since my business has grown. But I think you'll find some great punch art in these projects!

My Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Halloween sampler swap for a home decor piece.  We chose to use the Magic in This Night designer paper as our theme & colors.  I had enough pieces to create 2 of them. Look at these!  

Isn't it incredible?  Each so unique and all together create a fabulous home decor piece! 

These 3" squares are adhered to a full 12" sheet of the Magic in This Night designer paper. I'll try to give some details on these squares. 

I created the banners from the Word Wishes dies in White card stock.  I sponged the upper and lower areas with Pretty Peacock & Cajun Craze inks.  I stamped spider webs from the Banner Year stamp set on the White strip. 

A mummy made from sponged White CS strips, a sponged night sky & masked moon with fussy cut bats from the Designer Paper and a punched cat on a Metallic Mesh ribbon background.

An owl from the Have a Hoot bundle, a punched pumpkin with the Playful Alphabet BOO and another owl on a Cobweb textured background with Black Glimmer branches.

Below is an entirely different sampler!   

These sampler squares are adhered to a 12 X 12" sheet of Pretty Peacock card stock. 

From left to right; the first one is made with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, second is from the Banner Year and far right are bats fussy cut from the Designer Paper. 

Left is a tag made with the Banner Year stamp set, the cat is on a die-cut from the Sweet Silhouettes dies & a textured brick 'wall' and last on the right is a punched ghost made with the Tulip punch!  The eyes are from the 0's in the Playful Alphabet dies and the greeting from Hallows Night Magic set.

I LOVE seeing what my talented Team members create for our swaps.  If you'd like to join my Team we'd love to have you; whether you like to swap or not!  Click here to purchase the starter kit!  The Get & Go Promotion is a fabulous deal and it ends in just 6 days!!  Read about it here.

  • Sweetest Time Christmas card


    I thought I'd share a few Christmas cards I've received lately. 

    Jean sent me this pretty Christmas card using the Sweetest Time bundle seen here. 

    The Sweetest Border dies are so neat!  I love how you get a solid edge but the detailed candy canes all in one.  

    She used Real Red with Pear Pizzazz here along with the Wonderful Gems.  

    Here's another card shared by Stampin' Up!

    And look at these projects!  They're showcased with the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!      


    I just received mine and I LOVE IT!  It's adorable, small and lightweight.  It's the perfect size for both travel and to fit right on my workspace.  It's available to demonstrators this month but will be released to everyone on January 5th!  It's just $60 and you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice when you purchase it in January. 

    If you're in a hurry to get yours, you can add it to your Starter kit in December and join as a Demonstrator.  What a great gift to yourself!  Join the Stampin' Up! family and enjoy the fun and perks of being part of something awesome! Go here to join my Flowerbug's Team.

  • What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket


    Sad news!  Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

    We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

    We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

    Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

    Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

    • Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
    • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
    • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
    • Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
    • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
    • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
    • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

    If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP.  Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

    Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  I think I could play with this for the next few months!  Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April. 

    For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals.  The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.  

    This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here.  It's 30% off while supplies last.  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton! 

    Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go.  It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards.  That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28.  Go here to get yours.    Or get the tutorial here. 

    Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:

    • Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
    • Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark.  Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
    • Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
    • Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4)  and adhere across the lower middle. 
    • Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
    • Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink.  Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
    • Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop.  Tighten carefully, one end at a time.

  • Paper Bag Snowflakes; an easy wow for Home Decor


    I changed things up a bit for this week's Stamp with Me Live FB video and made these big beautiful Snowflakes!  Guess what they're made from?  Paper bags!


    I found some white glossy ones at a party store.  They measure 3" X 6 1/2" and 5" X 9" in size.  You need 8 of them.

    Depending on the size of your paper bag your finished snowflake can be anywhere from 13" to 18" across!  Watch the FB Live replay video below to catch the tips on making them. 

    Supplies:

    • 8 paper bags
    • Hot glue
    • Scissors (or punches)
    • Ribbon or cord for hanging
