In the UK we don't celebrate Halloween to the same extremes as places like America, so a Halloween card is not something we would usually make. With lots of Halloween parties now being arranged, I think my project today would be perfect for a Halloween party invitation.
It was really difficult to get a sharp photograph of this card and I think its because of all the white space, these pictures were my third attempt so, they are what they are and hopefully so you see what I was trying to achieve.
To make this card I sponged the background using Tangerine Tango ink. I used sticky notes to mask the area which allowed me to have perfect straight lines.
I die cut the tree using the Halloween Scenes Edgelit Dies twice, once in Basic Black and once in Whisper White. I layered the Whisper White underneath, slightly to the side - I think this gives it a striking look over the sponged background and I am really pleased with how it turned out. I then added some Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the tree so it added some dimension to the card.
Using the Spooky Fun stamp set I stamped 3 bats around the tree, it was important that the tree was in place before I did this as I wanted the bats to really stand out. I then stamped the sentiment "have some spooky fun" onto Whisper White and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch. I wasn't sure about this punch but I have certainly warmed to it and think I will be using it a lot more now.
There are lots of great Halloween themed products in our catalogue this year. Here are a few sneeky peeks from the new catalogue (click on the picture to enlarge it for a closer a look).
Crafting is all about having fun and letting people know you care with lovely handmade things. Why don't you see how you can incorporate something Halloween themed into your life this year. Last year I made 17 Halloween treat bags for my team at work. You could make Halloween invitations, Halloween games, Halloween decorations, the possibilities are endless!

Welcome to my blog! I hope you find some ideas here today to inspire you to get crafty and make something lovely. Wasn't Anna's project fabulous?
If there's one thing that's on everyone's wish list from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue, its got to be the new Baby Bear stamp set.
If I am honest with you, I wasn't going to buy it as I didn't think I would like it. So I challenged myself to buy it, stamp with it and make a card that was true to my personal style.
This stamp set is a triple step stamp set and as its photopolymer, you can see exactly where you are stamping to ensure the 3 layers are positioned exactly right. It's so easy and I love the detail and variety of looks achieved by using the 3 stamps and different colour ink.
I made my card base from Kraft cardstock and added a layer of patterned pattern from the new Serene Scenery DSP stack.
I then cut and separated the new Burlap Ribbon into individual threads and tied a bow for the front of the card.
For the inside of the card I added a panel of the same DSP to the bottom of the card and stamped the sentiment Welcome to the world! in Mint Macaron ink.

Welcome to my blog! I hope you find some inspiration here today to go to your craft stash and make something beautiful. Wasn't Sarah's project lovely? I am so excited to see all of the other projects the Pinkies have made!
My project features four new products from the forthcoming Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Can you spot them all?
The main feature of this card is the stunning new Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Copper is so in right now, its everywhere I look from home furnishings to kitchenware to jewellery.
Did you know we will be having Copper Metallic Thread in the new catalogue? I literally cannot wait to get my hands on it (and a billion other things!)
Next up we have a brand new stamp set called Layering Love. Check out page 71 of the new catalogue, it's in a set with 5 other clear mount stamps. I've used the stamp with the sentiment "Enjoy the little things" for the card front and the stamp that says "Sometimes the (smallest) things take up the most room in your heart" for the inside. I love both of these stamps, the fonts are pretty cool aren't they?
This project features one of the new In Colours (2016 - 2018) called Flirty Flamingo, I've used the Flirty Flamingo cardstock in-between a layer of Basic Black and Basic Gray. I thought I wouldn't like this colour but when I started combining it with existing colours I found that I really loved it!
And finally, I used Flirty Flamingo ink to create the watercolour effect. I've used the Shimmery White cardstock as my base as it works really well when watercolouring with Aqua Painters.
Flamingos are EVERYWHERE at the moment. Some fellows demos have started to use the hashtag #ifoundaflamingo. on Facebook and Twitter each time they come across a Flamingo somewhere. Just you wait, you will be seeing them EVERYWHERE now. In fact, we have a flamingo stamp in the new catalogue!
It's now less than a week until the new catalogue goes live! I need to grab 5 minutes (okay, probably an hour or two) to go through the catalogue again and finalise my wish list, I cannot wait to place an order on Wednesday. I'm especially looking forward to working with some of the new DSP and of course the new stamp sets & dies!

If you have arrived here from Jan's blog, thanks for stopping by! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
For today's project I've used the Botanicals For You stamp set that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration for every £45 you spend. This large sentiment is perfect for embossing and featuring as the centre piece of the card. I made a similar version of this card a few weeks ago and I promised a stepped up version of this card - and here it is!
To step it up, I added an additional layer using a Silver Foil and also added a background using the Watercolour Wash Stamp Set and Soft Sky ink.
I also stamped the flowers onto Vellum using Versamark Ink and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder before punching them out with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch.
As in my previous version, I added a Rhinestone to the centre of each flower but to step it up, you can just about see either side of the flowers are some silver embosssed leaves.
I made another version of this card and used Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder instead of Silver, Sahara Sand Ink instead of Soft Sky and Pearls instead of Rhinestones inside the flowers.
Which is your favourite?
I decorated the inside of these cards using the sentiment On Your Special Day, perfect for many different occasions - engagements, marriages, anniversaries, special birthdays and more.
I stamped the sentiment and leaves using Versamark Ink and Emboss Powder onto Shimmery White Cardstock. I then added 3 more flowers, to match the front of the card. I layered this onto a Foil Sheet and adhered it to the centre of the inside using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
I love Sale-a-Bration! Did you know that Stampin' Up! run Sale-a-Bration every year from the beginning of January until the end of March. During this time you can choose one product from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for every £45 you spend. And if you spend over £200, you can choose £20 of products in addition to the 10% of Stampin' Rewards you would receive. There are 7 stamp sets, 3 paper packs and a Project Life card collection to choose from.
Its also the best time of year to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator as you will receive an extra £30 of products in your starter kit. You still pay £99 but instead of choosing £130 products, you can choose £160 - how great is that? If you don't want to be a demonstrator, that's okay, you can still sign up to receive discount on all of the products you purchase, be one of the first to see new catalogues and attend exclusive events. Want to find out more, let me know!
I hope you've enjoyed today's Blog Hop! Have you chosen which free product you are going to choose when you next order?

If you have arrived here from Sarah's blog, thanks for stopping by! Isn't Sarah's card so cute! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
Today's project is a stationery tin and set of notebooks I've made using the new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. Isn't it just gorgeous?
I made two sets as Christmas presents - one using Blushing Bride cardstock and the other using Pool Party cardstock. Both of these colours match this paper perfectly.
The Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper pack contains 12 sheets of 12" by 12" cardstock and each piece has a design on both sides (6 designs in total). The 6 different designed papers contain one or more of the following colours: Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Watermelon Wonder and Whisper White.
I think you could quite easily use Old Olive or Watermelon Wonder cardstock alongside this paper, or even Mint Macaron.
If you've been following my blog, you may have seen me using this tin before in my Typeset Specialty Series. Its a great tin for this sort of project as it can fit a number of items inside - this stationery set includes a shopping list, notepad (including post it notes), a mini notebook and a gold sparkly glitter nail file.
I've used my all-time favourite centre piece for the front of the tin and notepads which consists of a die cut butterfly from cardstock and vellum. I've used the medium sized die from the Butterflies Thinlits Dies for the front of the tin and the notebook and the small butterfly die from the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies for the shopping list and mini notebook. I LOVE these dies, which is why you will find them in lots of my projects! The new Big Shot Die Brush on page 19 of the catalogue is perfect for popping out all of the little pieces from the butterflies! Its my new best friend.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my project today - make sure you leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!

Welcome to another Pinkies Blog Hop! As it's World Card Making Day today, we hope everyone will get some time to craft, and we've created some lovely projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful card. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!
If you have arrived from Clare's blog, welcome! I am so happy to be sharing my Sparkling Watercolor Wings Butterfly card that I've created for you.
I made a similar card a few weeks ago but I decided to step up the design by adding more details to the background and adding some much needed sparkle.
To make the background I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I started by stamping the splatter effect using Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum & Wisteria Wonder ink. Using the same stamps I then used Versa Mark ink to stamp more splatter effects.
Next I sprinkled Heat & Stick powder over the Versa Mark ink, tapped off the excess, then used the Heat Tool to make the powder tacky. I then sprinkled Silver Stampin' Glitter over the spots (again, tapping off the excess) and used the Heat Tool to set the glitter in place.
You can buy this stamp set as part of a bundle including the Bold Butterflies Framelit Dies. When you buy a bundle you save 15% of the combined price.
For this project I used the both the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies and Butterflies Thinlit Dies to die cut the small and large butterflies. It was so simple and quick and by using these dies, its gives my finished card a more professional look.
For the inside of the card I used the the stamp set included within the Watercolor Wishes kit. I stamped the sentiment Happiest Birthday Wishes using Elegant Eggplant ink. I chose this stamp as I love the font but you can use any stamp set and sentiment of your choice.
Initially I couldn't decide whether to use Heat & Stick Powder & Stampin' Glitter or just Stampin' Emboss Powder. This version has been made using Island Indigo, Pool Party & Soft Sky ink and Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The effect is not as glittery as my featured project but still has a beautiful shine when you catch it in the light.

I really love this card (okay, so you might have guessed that I'm not a fan of crafting with traditional Christmas colours) however I did wonder what it would look like with a different colour range, with white being the more prominent colour.
To achieve the same look I used the gold diagonal striped paper from the Neutrals Colour Collection DSP and the Gold Snowflake vellum from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack (with Whisper White cardstock underneath). I then die cut the reindeer scene and stamped Jingle All The Way underneath.
I hope you liked the cards I've featured today showcasing the awesome Jingle All The Way Bundle from the new Stampin' Up! Autumn Winter Catalogue. Included in the bundle is the Jingle All the Way Clear Mount Stamp Set and the Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies - don't forget that when you buy a bundle you save an amazing 15%!
