I’m a little late on my post today! My husband and I took a 7 hour road trip which had us on the road at 3:30 am this morning. He’s likes driving very early so that we miss a lot of the traffic in the first hours of the trip. It makes sense but I definitely needed a nap when we arrived!
I was unable to attend Convention this year but they had several sessions that were streamed so I was able to watch some of it at home. This was one of the projects presented using a Halloween theme. I decided to change it up and use one of our new papers in the Holiday Catalog, Into the Woods. It is definitely a quick and easy project to whip up.
I used one of our Gusseted Cellophane bags and a piece of DSP that measures 3 3/4″ x 10″ which is scored at 1″, 6″ & 8 1/2″. Slip the DSP inside the cellophane bag, add your treats and a topper and you’re done!
I also covered Hershey Nuggets in the same DSP and added a few using Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I ran through the Decorative Dots embossing folder. I shredded some Whisper White cardstock and placed it in the bottom of the bag.
I’ll try and make a video next week for this project!

It has been one of those weeks where I haven’t had much of a chance to get into my craft room and play. I did get a chance early this morning and I’ll share those projects next week!
My grandson is now five months old. I can’t believe how fast the months are flying by. It feels like he was just born a few weeks ago! He is an absolute sweetheart and has a smile that makes me grin from ear to ear.
My granddaughter spent the night one day this week and it is always enjoyable when she is with us. I found some beads in the closet that I had been saving from my classroom. We pulled them out and Audrey played with them for hours and hours.
Tomorrow is the official end of summer. I wish we were heading into fall weather where I live but the forecast says that it will be in the 90s all next week. My locket today makes me think of summer. Hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend!
There are so many new goodies for the Big Shot in the Holiday Catalog! I always love packaging and the Square Pillow Box Thinlits is so stinkin’ cute! Here’s a quick video showing you how to put the box together!
Quick post today! It has been an extremely busy week. I stamped and colored this flower weeks ago from the stamp set Remarkable You. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it so it sat on my desk. I decided to fussy cut it out and this was the result! I stamped the flower in Memento ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I popped up the petals with Stampin’ Dimensionals and it wasn’t necessary to glue down the stem. I used Wisteria Wonder 1/2″ Seam Binding for my bow. The sentiments comes from Watercolor Wings.
I am off to babysit my grandson. Have a wonderful day!

Would you like to see some of the new DSP that will be available tomorrow? Stampin’ Up! has just released this video and in it they share some of the new DSP and the process that goes into creating their beautiful paper. I found it very interesting!
Today is my friend Kristina’s birthday. We met three years ago at a Stampin’ Up! convention. Last year we went up on the stage together for her 10th Stampin’ Up! anniversary and my 5th. I was very nervous about going up there but it was special because we did it together. The second picture is from several years ago. Happy Birthday, Kristina!
My card today uses the stamp set Garden in Bloom. Although you can use an outline for the flower, I chose to just use the “inside” part (see the picture below of the stamp set).
Garden in Bloom #139433
After stamping, I used the Decorative Dots embossing folder. My sentiment comes from the stamp set Cottage Greetings. I used the Lots of Labels Framelits and sponged each piece with Daffodil Delight. I finished it off with a little bow using Cucumber Crush Dotted Lace Trim.
The Holiday Catalog goes live next Tuesday, September 1st, but today I have a sneak peek of four new products in this gem of a catalog! Can you guess what’s new?
Spider Web Doilies
BLACK Glimmer Paper
A Little Something stamp set
Softly Falling Embossing Folder – It is meant to be used as snow but I think it looks just fine on my Halloween card
I started out with my two favorite color combinations for Halloween – Elegant Eggplant and Pumpkin Pie. To adhere my layers together, I used our Liquid Multipurpose Glue. I’ve started using it more and more because it gives me a little bit of time to make sure that my layers are straight. I wanted my pumpkins orange on the sentiment so I used my Stampin’ Write markers to color it. The Black Glimmer Paper is so pretty and sparkly!! Lately I seem to finish every projects with several rhinestones and this one was no exception!
I can’t add our new products in my list below until they go live on Wednesday but below you will find the products that are available now. For more info or to place an order, click on any picture below.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but in addition to being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I also sell South Hill Designs products. As I was making today’s card, I immediately thought how easy it would be to make a locket to match.
Inside the Silver Tone Crystal locket are our beautiful birthstone Swarovski crystals surrounding a silver crystal butterfly. The chain (my absolute favorite) is called the Multifaceted Link Chain. If you would like to see more SHD products, click here.
Onto my card! The inspiration for this card comes from Donna Mikasa for Hero Arts. I made a Stampin’ Up! version.
I embossed a small section of Whisper White cardstock with the new Elegant Dots embossing folder. After cutting out three butterflies with the Bold Butterfly Framelits, I sponged the upper section of each with a sponge dauber and my stamp pads in Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo. I popped each one up with a piece of Stampin’ Dimensional (the part of the dimensionals that you might throw away, around the perimeter). My sentiment comes from the host set, Best Thoughts.
The supplies I used are listed below. If you would like more information about a product or you’d like to place an order, simply click on a picture below.
