Take a Halloween Class....and get a free stamp set!

Here are a few of the items that we will be making at my Halloween class on Sunday October 5th. We will also be making a bag topper and a tag (each with a bag of CANDY!) This class is absolutely adorable and you don't want to miss out on it!

Now to the "free stamp set" part of the class. Take the class and you get to choose any stamp set from my "used stash" I have some great sets leftover from the last catalogue as well as past hostess and Sale-a-Bration stamp sets. I need to get this stuff out of my stamp room and this is a great way to give them all new homes. Sign up now...space is limited!

Thoroughly Thankful

I love pumpkins...especially in my garden. We didn't grow any this year since we were away all summer so the best I can do is stamp them. The main image is from the "Thoroughly Thankful" stamp set, stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with my aquapainter and classic inks. The image is actually double this size but I only used half of it for this card. The patterned paper in the background is from the Kiwi Kiss Designer Prints paper, just beautiful! The "kindness" stamp is from the "Heard from the Heart" stamp set

Pretty Upsy Daisy...

I have been doing so much with Autumn and darker colours lately it was so nice to work with pink again. This is one of the cards from my Upsy Daisy class this past weekend and I just love the Regal Rose, Rose Red and Barely Banana colours. I used the Wide Oval Punch on the sentiment and used the Coluzzle to cut the larger Rose Red oval to layer it. I think the Scallop Edge Punch gives this card the perfect "pretty" touch! The Upsy Daisy set is so easy to work with and comed with some great sentiments. It's on sale until September 30th for $19.51!

Sunflower

I had an urge to make a sunflower card since I have a bunch of sunflowers growing outside my craft room but I have NO sunflower stamps. Then I came up with the idea of dying a flower from the Pretties kit yellow (with Summer Sun ink refills) and punched a q 1/4 circle from Close to Cocoa. I then stamped it with the Sanded background stamp in Chocolate Chip ink. I also used the Sanded stamp in Chocolate Chip on the Summer Sun background. The Thank You stamp is from the Wow Flowers Stamp set.

From Owl of Us...

Now this is just the cutest stamp set and I am having so much fun with it. Being a "floral" stamper I am finding that I am starting to love some of the cute stamp sets like this "Owl Together" stamp set and Crab and Company (on sale next month!) For this card I stamped the owls and branch on watercolour paper and used the aqua painter (also on sale next month!) and re-inkers to colour. The colours I used were Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red and Close to Cocoa.

Simple Thanks

Here is a super quick and super easy thank you card I made. I used the stem from the stamp set Eastern Blooms and stamped it once in Chocolate Chip and once in Baja Breeze on white cardstock. The cardstock I used was Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze and the striped paper is from the Designer Series Print in Baja Breeze. The card is finished off with a chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and the "A Note of Thanks" from the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set stamped in Chocolate Chip.

Autumn Harvest

I made this card over a year ago using the Autumn Harvest stamp set on watercolor paper. The "thank you" stamp is from the Short and Sweet stamp set (and all the sayings in that set are perfect for the oval punches!) I stamped all the images in classic ink and used an aqua painter and classic ink refills to colour them in!

Eastern Blooms Thanks

This is one of the cards we made at my new catalogue party two weeks ago using the Eastern Blooms stamp set and the Thank You Kindly stamp sets. We also used the new "In-Colours" Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss as well as the "new black" Chocolate Chip.

Exciting news, starting later today, you can now place your orders online through my Stampin Up demonstrator webiste at:

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stephanied/

Of course you can also place your orders through me but if you feel the urge to order something at 2am and don't think it would be right to call me at that time (it really wouldn't be allright!) now you have another option.

Eastern Blooms

I made this card last night using the new Eastern Blooms set and the Thank You Kindly stamp sets. The patterned paper is from the Washington Apple Designer Paper. All the colours look kind of different in the picture but all the reds are Riding Hood Red. and they look exactly the same in real life.

I have been having a lot of fun playing with some new stamp sets and will be posting more on my blog in the next couple of days. I will also be posting some blog only give-aways over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
