Festive Flower Punch by Stampin’ Up!

Festive Flower - Poinsettia

Just loved making this Poinsettia with the Festive Flower Punch from the 2015 Holiday Catalog.
You can purchase it as a bundle with the Reason for the Season stamp set and save 15%.  Not only can you make Poinsettia's, but can make many different flowers and colors with it.

Jack O' Lantern Gift Bag

This is a gift bag I made with the Gift Bag Punch Board.   I also used the Sparkling Season stamp set and the Seasonal Frame Thinlets Die that can be purchased as a bundle.  I used the Happy Haunting DSP.  The Baker's Twine is the Very Vanilla. I used the Precision Base Plate to cut out the "spooky" and put it on the bag with 2-way Glue Pen.  The color is Tangelo Twist.  I punched out a circle of Tangelo Twist cardstock using the Big Shot. I inked up the chevron circle in the set with Tangelo Twist and stamped off and then onto the circle.  I stamped the jack-o-lantern face with Memento Black.  I thought it turned out really cute and plan to fill it with candy for Halloween for someone special.

Wonderland Window

This is a card I made using the Wonderland stamp set and the Happy Scenes stamp set. The base of my card is Mossy Meadow and the second layer is Pear Pizzazz which I inserted into the Softly Falling TIEF and ran it through the Big Shot.   I stamped the tree images with Mossy Meadow and then used Versamark ink pad.  I then sprinkled Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder over it and heat set it with the Heat Tool.  TheNight of Navy window frame was made from the Hearth & Home Thinlet Dies.  The verse "All is calm, all is bright" is also from the Wonderland stamp set.

Happy Scenes - Halloween

This is card that I was inspired by Charlene Harreveld, but I put my own little twist into it.
The colors are Tangelo Twist, Basic Black, Black Glimmer Paper, Happy Haunting DSP for the background and I cut out a little ghost to put in the lower window pane.  I cut a Spider Web doily in half to glue on one side.  I stamped the "Wishing you a Happy Halloween" on Whisper White cardstock about 2 1/2" in length.  I used the Word Window Punch by cutting the cardstock approximately 6/16" of an inch in width and inserted in the punch to round the end. I attached it with glue dots.

Peaceful Pines

This is similar to a card (Season's Sketches) I cased years ago.  I think I still have the stamp set, but it retired in 2007.

The new set is called Peaceful Pines in the 2015 Holiday Catalog.

The technique is bleaching!  Be sure to wear old clothes when using the bleach to make this card.
