This was my first try at our new Mini Muslin Bags (#132180) in the Holiday Catalog! In all honesty, I wanted my dots to be darker so I’ll be trying something different next time although I think it is pretty darn cute!
My stamp set is Halloween Bash which I stamped in Pumpkin Pie and Black StazOn. I popped the bat up with dimensionals, punched a hole and used Linen thread to attach it to the Basic Black Tafetta Ribbon. What a fun treat this would be to receive!
Thanks for stopping by!

For a limited time you can purchase the Bitty Butterfly punch and the stamp set, Papillion Potpurri together and save 15%. Several weeks ago I showed this card which uses Papillion Potpurri! I didn’t use the Bitty punch but the Elegant Butterfly punch. The Bitty Punch was used on the inside of the card. If you would like to see the flyer enlarged, just click on it.
The Best of 25 Stamp set for September is now available! Click on the flyer to see it enlarged.

Today I have a card that I made using our Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape. It is so easy to make a cute and quick card with this embellishment! I stamped a flower from the set Flower Shop and punched it out with our matching Pansy Punch. I added several rhinestones to the middle to bling it up. My sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts, a set that I am in love with.

I found the idea for this card on Sam Donald’s website. She is also a Stampin’ Up! demo but she is located in the UK. This card makes me smile because it is so bright and cheery. It is somewhat hard to see in my photos, but can you tell the difference between the two cards, besides the sentiment?
The base of one card is Whisper White and the other one is Melon Mambo. It is a little bit easier to see the difference in the picture of them side by side.
The pretty polka dot paper is from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. It is 12×12 paper in all 10 colors in the Brights collection. My flower comes from the set Polka Dot Pieces. I stamped the large flower image once and punched it out with the 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle punch. The smaller flower was stamped twice. The center of one was punched out with the 3/4″ Circle punch and then I used the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle punch for the entire flower. A rhinestone in the center gives it just a touch of bling. My sentiments are from the Hostess set, Banner Greetings.

Yesterday was my son-in-laws 30th birthday and I made this check/money holder for him. It was a bit of challenge for me to make a masculine card. I had another Designer Series Paper in mind but then decided that it was too girlie. I think this paper works from the Epic Day This and That DSP pack. I knew that I wanted to have the number thirty on the card so I used my Big Shot and the Typeset Alphabet Bigz die. They were cut out with the same paper as the holder. I wrapped a belly band around it to to keep the contents nice and secure. I hope he liked it!

Did you see my post HERE about My Paper Pumpkin? I mentioned that I signed up for a My Paper Pumpkin subscription a few weeks ago. Yesterday my first shipment arrived! Here’s all of the fun goodies that were in my red box!
Everyone receives the same first shipment which comes with a “D” block for your stamp – all other shipments will not have a block. I have enough materials to make four cute cards! I am especially excited about the “hey there friend” stamp. I’ve seen it on cards and really wanted one of my very own!
If you sign up before August 31st, you will receive the first two months at a discounted rate of $10 each. After that, the price will go up to $19.95. You can skip a payment or cancel at anytime if you decide it isn’t for you. The block itself in the first kit is valued at $8.50 plus you will receive all of the other materials. This will be your first kit and from then on, it will always be a surprise. Surprises are fun, don’t you think? Here’s how to sign up and to get the discount:
1. Sign up at mypaperpumpkin.com before August 31, 2013
2. Use the promo code PUMPKINDEAL
3. Don’t forget to choose me as your demonstrator
Your first kit will go out after the 10th of next month so if you decide at a later date to sign up, just be sure to do it before the 10th so that you’ll receive the shipment for that month. If you have any questions at all, please just email me!
Take Care,
Tracy

Hi Friends,
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend! My husband, Mark, was out of town so I worked in my stamp room and that was fun. He is an airline pilot for Delta Airlines so he is gone quite a bit. His schedule varies from month to month and when he isn’t home I spend a lot of time stamping.
I made this card last week and used the new Label Card Thinlits. Not only do you get the shape for the actual card but there are many more pieces to use. I used one of the shapes in the Thinlets set for my sentiment which is from the set Six-Sided Sampler. I stamped my butterfly with Staz-On (you really get a nice vivid black) onto Coastal Cabana and then punched it out with my Elegant Butterfly punch (#127526). I used the set Polka Dot Pieces and stamped the “flowers” with my Coastal Cabana ink pad. I felt it needed some bling so I added rhinestones. I love that sparkly look!
If you would like to order any of the products to make this card, use the Hostess Code that I mentioned last week. The code is good until Friday and if you place an order using the code below, you will have a chance to win the Hostess Benefits, which will be at least $25 if the combined orders reach $150.
