What's Up My Witches!


Oh my gosh you guys! I almost forgot to share the cutest card I made for a local swap group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This card is so cute. I'm in love with the Toil & Trouble designer series paper. I used up all the stars one on these cards, and I kinda want more!

This is the only photo I have. I totally forgot to get one before I sent them off. So I had to ask the swap coordinator to get a pic for me. Isn't it the sweetest? 


I had the funnest time coloring the witches. It got to practice with my Stampin' Blends, and I love them. They are so much easier than I thought they would be to blend with.

Pssst.....I cheated a bit. That cauldron and cat? Well I didn't color those. I cut them out of the DSP with the framelits from the designer series paper! Yes, there are stamps, but it was so convenient for me to just cut the ones from the dsp because I was making 12 of these cards. I wanted to color the witch. That was fun. But coloring all of that would have been difficult. I was on a time crunch. Because, hello do you know me? Ha ha. I always wait til the last minute. I think I am more motivated when I do that lol.

For this card, I used a fun gate fold and the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store:

Paper: Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper, Basic Black Cardstock, Crushed Curry Cardstock, Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
Stamp Sets: Cauldron Bubble

You Are Wonderful Rooted in Nature Card

I feel like I am always apologizing for not being here lol. Life is so annoying ;) How dare it get in the way of my crafty time?!

Today I'm sharing a card I made as a thank you to a customer for her order. This is my first real play with the Rooted in Nature stamp set from Stampin' Up!, and I'm loving it! Those skeleton leaves are gorgeous. And the font for the sentiments in this set makes me swoon. Love, love, love this set. But now I'm pretty sorry I didn't just get the bundle with the dies. Now I need them after searching Pinterest for ideas. *Shakes fist in the air*, "Gah! Pinterest!" It's like a black hole. LMAO. But I adore Pinterest so much.
