August Paper Pumpkin - Pedal Praise

And here it is... Pedal Praise!

This first card was made following the sample included with the kit and then I switched things up...

Don't you love the Bicycle and Pennant 'thank you' stamps? The colors in this kit are Burmuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar and Raspberry Ripple. Yummy!

I cut one card base in half and attached the two pieces to Raspberry Ripple and Baked Brown Sugar cardstock card bases and used one other card base to make the two candy holders.

Aren't they cute? They are not my original idea. Becky Roberts had those who were able to attend her downline meeting make a Halloween version and Penny Smiley went home and made the Pedal Praise one.

Expression Thinlits Dies

The Expression Thinlits Dies are a new addition to the Big Shot lineup and are available in the Holiday Catalog. The set comes with the words thankful, merry and love. We used a 2-way glue pen to attach thankful to this card in class this week. 

A little cardstock, Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper, Baker's Twine and Candy Dots are all you need to create this card.

Here is a video showing all 3 Expression Thinlits and some very useful tips on running them through the Big Shot.

8 NEW Single Stamps for Christmas

I have to admit my brain is beginning to think Christmas Cards. I know, we are having the best warm, dry summer in many years and I am enjoying the sunshine - but...

Click here to see the new Holiday Stamp Collection available now through January from Stampin' Up! These are 3 of my favorites.

These are single, clear-mount stamps priced $4.95 - $9.95 and will come to you packaged in cello bags. I love that most of this collection coordinates with a framelit or punch making them so easy to use as tags or layers on a card.

Not quite ready for Christmas? Here is one of the cards we made in class yesterday. It was inspired by a card I saw online by Demonstrator Terry Bolender and uses the new Circle Card Thinlits.

Stamps: Magnificent Maple, Gorgeous Grundge, Seasonal Sayings
Ink: Gold Metallic Encore Pad, Chocolate Chip & Crushed Curry Classic Pads
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Gold Foil Sheets and Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper

Label Card Thinlits #133479

Circle Card Thinlits #133480

Just look at all the thinlits you get in these sets! It is so much fun to make cards that flip and surprise. You can see more details and watch a video here.

Happy Stamping!
