Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!


I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below. 

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  • Pretty Detailed Dogwood card swaps


    Today I'm sharing a few swaps I received featuring the new Detailed Dogwood stamp set – one of the choices in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Trayce Bauer made this stunning card using Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.

    She fussy cut the flowers out and added them to the Bubble Bath layer that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – also from our Sale-a-Bration selection.

    I love how she added the dotted image to create a background on both the white layer and the greeting! The greeting die is from the Thoughtful Expressions dies.  

    Below is a photo of the stamp set.  See it here online.

    It's free with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February 29th when Sale-a-Bration ends.  

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Angie Leach. 

    She used a beautiful set of neutral colors – Pebbled Path, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay. The large white die is from the Postage dies. Wow!

    I love the layout. Adding a few strips below your main focal point adds balance and interest and ties the colors together too.

    This last card is also a swap I received but I cannot give credit to the creator as there wasn't a name on it. 

    Her colors of Black, Real Red and White are stunning! Note the simple stamped background on the large White layer, mimicking the main floral image.  That dragonfly is such a neat image. It does not coordinate with our Dragonfly punch unfortunately.

  • 2 card ideas with Cradled in Love – a sweet set that’s free during Sale-a-Bration


    One of the free stamp set choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog is the Cradled in Love set.  A sweet group of stamps perfect for baby cards.  See this stamp set here. 

    Here's a quick card I created for my Open House boards: 

    My colors include Flirty Flamingo, White & Smoky Slate.  That large die-cut is from our new Perennial Postage dies seen here. 


    I paired it with the new Most Adored specialty designer paper – another free option during Sale-a-Bration this year. I added a 2" wide strip under the main element diagonally. 

    Both the stamp set and paper are available through February or while supplies last.  See this pretty paper here.  It's filled with gold foil designs on one side and Flirty Flamingo & Real Red on the other. 

    This photo does not show it well at all.  The colors are rich and gorgeous!

    Below is a super cute swap card I received from my friend Amy Storrie.  

    She used the Lighter Than Air designer paper, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Gray and White. That adorable scalloped border from the Basic Borders dies adds so much!  I just love it!
