What a fabulous stamp set… and I LOVE the Designer Series paper "Ski Slope" (which is the background ‘stars’ as well as the 1 1/2 inch decorated stripe that I cut off of an elaborate stripe pattern paper.

paper saving trick:

paper saving trick to a layered cardI learned this trick working in a stamp store years ago. The stamp companies sell you samples for display, and one day (to figure out how they were made), I pulled a few apart and saw that no paper was wasted where it wasn’t seen.  Not a bad idea I thought!

I love the DSP stripe paper (left)  the *most* in that pack so I saved it using two 1 1/2 inch long strips, instead of one 5 1/4 inch strip (which would waste a lot of 12 x 12 paper).

Okay, am I the master of cheap or what?!!!  Feel free to be honest!

Isn’t the candy in this bag awesome?!  I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)!  The Top Note Sizzix die has a ‘stitched’ border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer  a ‘matted’ look.

Harvest Home Thanksgiving Card

By Amy · Comments (3)
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Love that "Top Note" die cut for my new Sizzix machine!!! The ‘stitching’ look is on the die cut… it comes out that way.

The pumpkin image was stamped in StazOn black and colored in with Earth Elements watercolor crayons and an Aquapainter. The fabulous Designer Series plaid paper in the background is from the ‘Manchester’ collection (awesome plaids!).

This is the original "House of Haunts" card meant for my last month’s Stamp-a-Stack of Stuff… but the previous post ended up being the card we did.

It uses the same supplies but the haunted house is stamped on the Eggplant cardstock.

House of Haunts…

This spooky card’s ‘moon’ was made by using a 1 1/4 inch circle punched bond paper ‘mask’ and sponging first More Mustard and then Elegant Eggplant.  The ‘tombstones’ are the tag punch and then I used the corner rounder on one to make the old fashioned ’rounded top’ with corners.

Upsy Daisy Embossed Card

How awesome is this set and the new Designer Series paper "Urban Garden"!

My color inspiration is from the Urban Garden DSP, mixing Night of Navy with the new Kiwi Kiss.   The flowers were embossed in white on the leafy DSP and then gently sponged with Kiwi Kiss to make them pop…  this was a quick card that we did at my August Stamp a Stack of Stuff!

A Rose is a Rose… is a beautiful set!

The moment I saw this set on cruise, I have been waiting to get my hands on it!!!  At this point, this is going to be my founder’s circle swap (although my hand hurts just thinking about cutting out all those flowers).  This a 4pm the night before my monthly Stamp-A-Stack inspiration card.

A Rose is a Rose, Stampin' Up! Set

The background is the new Bella Toile stamped in "Pretty in Pink", the flowers are Pretty in Pink & Regal Rose, the leaves are Certainly Celery and Always Artichoke and the accent flower is in the new Baja Blue… doesn’t that last color really set it all off.  I popped up the center flower and added a wide grosgain rose color knot!

I know, I know, the minute that I finished it, I realized that I should have used the new Pink Pirouette (but old habits die hard)!
