Not only are stitches a classic trend, they illustrate the quality, precision, and extra care taken when creating a piece.  With Stitched Shapes Framelits you can make paper stitches in seconds, turning any project into one that is stitched from the heart.  And there’s more great news…although the 25% off stamps sets ends November 30, you'll still be able to get the Stitched Shapes Framelits after that.

Halloween Scenes For PPA323


Today I played along with the  Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 323. This week’s Color Challenge is a fun combination you can use for Fall, Thanksgiving and even an alternative Halloween combination. Tangerine Tango, Emerald Envy and Tip Top Taupe can be used as vividly or muted as you like. I had such fun using the Spooky Fun Stamp Set and coordinating Halloween Scenes Edgelits dies. If you are a Halloween lover, this is the bundle for you!

This week’s challenge was designed by
Shawn de Oliveira. Shawn likes to explore texture and color with clean and simple layouts. Make sure to check out the card he made with this week’s color combination:

Pretty Kitty Christmas for PPA322!

When I first got the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog in May, the Pretty Kitty stamp set was one of the first things that caught my attention.  I have two cats and these pretty kitties were just so darn cute!  So why not have a Pretty Kitty Christmas?  The Candy Cane Lane DS Paper gave me a great color combo for this fun card.  I embossed the kitty cat with my heat tool, versamark ink pad and white embossing powder.  This week I played along with the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 322.
 
This week’s sketch challenge comes from Susan Itell.  Make sure to check out her wonderful project and head over to play along or just to see all of the cool projects:

Layering Love & Relaxation for GDP056

For this card I played along with the CASE The Designer challenge from the Global Design Project 056.  See Bibi's card below to be inspired by this week's challenge. Remember that CASEing with the GDP means Copy And Selectively Edit - so you might see the layout, the stamp set, the colors or anything that inspires you from this card.  Head over to the Global Design Project Challenge and see all of the wonderful projects or play along.
http://www.global-design-project.com/2016/10/global-design-project-056-case-designer.html
I was inspired by the relaxing theme of this card.  It reminds me of sitting outside on the porch swing watching the fall breeze push all of the fall leaves across the front yard.  So for my project I used the leaflets framelits in a variety of fall colors along with the warmth and cheer ds paper stack for that nice relaxing feeling.  The sentiment comes from the Layering Love Stamp Set and is punched out using the Best Badge Punch.  I trimmed the top off the punched sentiment and then punched out an additional best badge in always artichoke and cajun craze for added dimension.
Here are all the Stampin' Up! supplies I used for this card.  Thanks for stopping by today!  Click HERE to place your order and make sure you enter your OCTOBER HOST CODE: FKK4VQ7A
