HALLOWEEN CARD WITH SU! NEW HAPPY SCENES STAMP SET AND HAPPY HAUNTING DESIGNER PAPER

I'm thrilled with this new HAPPY SCENES STAMP SET  which I purchased together with the HEARTH AND HOME THINLITS dies at 15% off.  There is also a great stamp set that coordinates with the thinlits you may have purchased already called FESTIVE FIREPLACE.  That set also comes as a bundle you can get for 15% off when purchased with the coordinating thinlits.  Don't need any of the thinlets?  Well, guess what, all this week STAMPS in the regular and holiday catalog are 15% off.  While this doesn't include clearance or bundles, it's a great way to purchase your stamps and save.That sale starts tomorrow - Monday 10/19 and will run until Friday only.  Locals, I'll have an order going in at the end of the week to give everyone time to look at the catalogs.

I love the gold SU! glimmer paper behind the scene.  I added a silver SU! glimmer ghost to the top. This card went off in the mail to my parents yesterday.  It could very well be an Autumn card as well.

The stamps on the envelope are retired Halloween SU! stamps except for the postmark stamp which is non SU!  Also the inside of the card below has retired SU! and Non SU! (the trick or treaters).

And here are the cards using the THINLETS that coordinate with this stamp set.  I featured them on the REMARKABLE BLOG TOUR last week. Click HERE if you want to see the tour!

I made my own curtains using the SU! DESIGNER PAPER.  Below is the inside of the card.

The background stamp above is DOTTY ANGLES by SU! which I absolutely love.  I can't wait to do some holiday and snow scenes with this set.

STAMPING WITH NEW SU! WOODLANDS EMBOSSING FOLDER

I really love this new Woodlands embossing folder by Stampin Up!

 Being able to stamp with it so that the images are behind trees is just amazing. Here's my first take on this technique.

SPOOKY CARD FROM MY SU! UPLINE JANET W.

I received this cool card in the mail with a few gifts thanking me for being a downline.  Janet Wakeland my SU! upline sent this card and the gifts. She's amazing.  I absolutely love Halloween cards.  Note that this card uses NEW SU! products, thinlets, web doilies, rhinestones, embossing folder, and black glimmer paper.  I love how this card sparkles. I love the silver foil specialty paper doily, too.  Check out the eyes in the spooky script word. Thanks Janet.  You're an awesome upline.

REMARKABLE STAMPERS HOLIDAY BUNDLE UP! BLOG TOUR

It's time for another great  

REMARKABLE STAMPERS BLOG TOUR.  

We are featuring bundles from the SU! Holiday Catalog.

My Bundle is the  HAPPY SCENES BUNDLE.  I can think of so many cool things to make with this bundle.  And...the neat thing is that the window framelit can also double as a fireplace and you can bundle it with another bundle FESTIVE FIREPLACE.

I absolutely love this card.  I made the curtains from SU! designer paper and I used the holiday doilies in the background.

Note:  the above card background was stamped using the SU! stamp DOTTY ANGLES. I love how this looks.

If you love these samples, see this info below for more about the bundles I've used. Go further and you will come across the link for the next member of the tour.

MORE HELLO DECEMBER PROJECT LIFE

As promised, here are some more pages from my HELLO DECEMBER SU! PROJECT LIFE Memory Book.  I'm really enjoying this collaboration of SU! with PROJECT LIFE with Becky Higgins, LLC.  Scrapbooking has never been easier and I love how easy it is.  I can embellish if I want or just add cards and photos.  This kit was made especially for SU!

There's so much in the kit, including stickers and embellishments and washi tape. You can alter any of the cards or photos. There's even alphabet stickers (see JP above) and no. stickers.

I added the mint macaron tree epoxy stickers to both of these cards and I love the dimension they bring.

I love the photo of Luigi and I below.  Also, the wreath below was altered by adding the epoxy stars and I also centered a photo of JP inside the wreath.

The red star card below was just printed in red and white.  The accessory kit came with the gold overlay and I really thought it added a lot to the page.  The gold outlined banner stickers on the photo below and the one up further above come with the accessory kit.  Some have sentiments on them and some are blank for you to write your own.

More SU! and PROJECT LIFE HELLO DECEMBER coming soon.  

Tomorrow 10/8 we have a blog tour at 8 pm Eastern.  Return here for more exciting ideas by the REMARKABLE STAMPERS.

CARD FOR MY SISTER TERESA FOR HER BIRTHDAY AND A HOLIDAY BLOG TOUR COMING

Yesterday was my sister Teresa's birthday.  This is the card I made for her.  I used some of my AG stash and some SU!  After the cards notice the ad for the SU! REMARKABLE BLOG TOUR.  It's THIS THURSDAY evening at 8 pm eastern.

 

 

 Hope your day was great Teresa.  I enjoyed sharing it with you in Charleston and Kiawah.

HELLO DECEMBER - PROJECT LIFE - HOLIDAY EDITION

I am ecstatic.  I've actually started my HELLO DECEMBER SU! project life book for this year.  I used mostly all SU! supplies and I even used the NEW FESTIVE FLOWER punch (which comes as a BUNDLE and SAVE - see below) that creates a poinsettia.  I am in love with this punch and stamp set.  If you want to see more, make sure you return here THURSDAY NIGHT for the REMARKABLE STAMPERS HOLIDAY BUNDLE BLOG TOUR.

Below is the first page.  I enhanced the PL 4 x 6 card by adding SU! rhinestones.  I love the photo of Santa with all of his Santa suits in the upper right hand corner.  Also, notice the gifts in the upper left hand corner photo.  I have a dog paw mug that I just love, and some gifts ready to go.

Our tree is all lit up and ready for Santa's arrival. The PL card in the upper right hand corner has a no. 1 for the First Day of December.  This year my tree will be up and lit on day 1 (hopefully).  More ideas on how to use PL cards and kits coming, and more from this book coming as well, possibly in the next few days.
