Fall-i-Days Halloween Blog Hop

Yes we are hopping again! We officially start today at 7 pm Mountain.  I missed out on our last hop because I was still working at Scout camp, so I am happy I can hop this time!  If while hopping we have any broken links you can find us here

You may have come from my friend Buffy's blog she is amazing person and a little intimidating to follow.

My first card is an Autumn triple layer card using French Foliage, Layered Labels and Apothecary Arts Framelits. This was stamped and layered the same way as this post. The colors are, Riding Hood Red, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Crumb Cake and Pool Party,

I don't send many Halloween cards but I never can resist making some every year, I posted one earlier. This card uses Bootiful Occasions and Labels Collection Framelits  and DSP from Polka Dot Parade and In Color Stack. Colors Used Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant.

I designed Frankie for my upcoming Halloween class, I think he is cute!  I used Fancy Favors Bigz Die and Old Olive and Basic Black CS. See the cute bolt on the side? 1" circle popped up on two Dimensionals with the sides colored with a silver sharpie!

I hope you enjoyed my projects and continue hopping to Jackie's Blog.

Bring on the Cake

I am sure you have seen many cards with the DSP candles on them here is my version.

• The card base is Midnight Muse,
• I cut a piece of Old Olive CS using the Big Shot and the largest of the Apothecary Accents Framelits, I the stamped the phrase from Bring on the cake near the bottom using Stazon. I added it to the base.
• I rolled tubes of DSP using every color(two of them twice) in the Polka Dot Parade pack, The wick is a piece of Bakers Twine, I added these to the card.

That is it pretty fast and easy and a fun way to add some dimension to a card.

Another Summer Afternoon

I used another stamp from Summer Afternoon. I also used new Framelits.

• The card base is Naturals White.
• I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits on a piece of Island Indigo I then ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.
• I cut a piece of Calypso Coral with the Label Framelit. (yes I love the Big Shot and the Framelits and Embossing Folders, I got the three new folders this week while I was up at camp I'm hoping to get to play with them after church today). The Calypso Coral piece is layered behind the Island Indigo piece and added to the card base.
• I stamped the image from Summer Afternoon onto Watercolor paper with Stazon Ink. I colored the image with Ink and an Aqua Painter> I cut the image with the Label Framelits and then popped it up with Dimensionals on the card.

Do you love Summer Afternoon as much as I do?

Update on the first week at Scout camp. This week is called Do or Die, we spend the week setting up, repairing, and cleaning camp(160 acres) getting it ready for a summer with Scouts. It is a lot of hard work a we are in a dry year and had more dead fall this winter then we did last year so hauling wood and general clean up seemed to be more then last year.  We had some difficulties to work with, someone on the Council level made the mistake of scheduling a Webelos Woods and a Timerline Course at the same time we needed to set up camp, so we were trying to work around people who were in the way.  We we able to leave camp at about 6pm last night pretty much ready for Scout Troops to start arriving tomorrow, we head back up again tonight at 6pm.  We have a pretty good group of Staff members this year and I think this year will be better then last year.  I am really please with the Staff I have in the Trading Post, they are great workers!

So until next Saturday or Sunday when I can post again I hope you find plenty of time to stamp and enjoy yourselves.
