The first tile uses the Medallion, Embrace Life, French Filigree and Charming Stamp set.  I used Tempting Turquoise Craft ink and Soft Suede classic ink for the tag.  The Fall tile uses the Autumn Splendor and En Francias stamp set.  I used Really Rust, Ruby Red and More Mustard Craft ink for this tile.  So pretty.  For the tag, I used the sentiment from the Season of Friendship stamp set.  I also used the Leaf Sizzix Die Cut.  I love this die cut during the Fall.  Makes beautiful leaves.  The next tile uses a stamp set we all love, Inspired by Nature.  Great Set!  Perfect for Tiles.  This uses Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip,  Rose Red and Regal Rose Craft inks.  The tag uses the sentiment from the stamp set and a Chocolate Chip corduroy button.  The small flower comes from the die cut Blossom Party, a Stampin' Up! exclusive.  So cute!  The last tile is my Winter tile.  I used the Beautiful Serene Snowflakes stamp set using Night of Navy, Brocade Blue craft ink and Silver Encore pad.  Loved these colors together.  The Night of Navy almost looks black.  Very striking.  Are you ready to make your Season of Tiles?  All you need to get started are a few tiles, Glassy Glaze Enamel (100477) and Craft ink.  Place your order today and I will send you a step by step tutorial on how to make these tiles.  Just click on the Order Now button to your right.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Each of the cards have a similar layout with just a few changes to them.  All the pumpkins were stamped using Craft ink.  I used More Mustard, Pumpkin, Old Olive Chocolate Chip and Really Rust. All the pumpkins were stamped onto Kraft cardstock.  Truly a Kimberly favorite.   Each of the cards were stamped on the bottom using the Jumbo Wheel Bright Blessings (115626) using Really Rust ink on Really Rust cardstock.  I used a few buttons and different sentiments from Grateful Greetings stamp set.  I also used my favorite tool -the Color Spritzer Tool.  Such a fun tool.  

I loved making these cards.  

I have a NEW Stamps/Scraps in the Mail program starting in November.  You can check out all the details along the top of my blog or click the links below.  These are my two favorite programs.  This is the 10th Round of Stamps in the Mail.  VERY exciting!!!!  Lots of surprises and bonus projects during this round.

Time for me to turn up the heat.  I am seriously FREEZING!  Have you seen all the snow that Colorado has?  I know my Denver friends have much more white stuff than we got.  Sorry ladies.  Have a GREAT Friday.  I have to get the halloweenie costumers ready for our Trick or Treat fun!  Can’t wait.

There you can see all my creations.  For the graveyard box you see above, you can find the template HERE.  These are super cute and fun to make.  I will post supplies later tonight.  It’s dinner time and the kids are acting as if they have never eaten a day in their little lives.  Stamping must take a back seat for a couple of hours.  Jeesh!  <smile>

I’ve been on my toes for a few friends that have been here for classes.   Here is one that was so easy to pull together and I loved the results. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Magnetic Gift Box (116796) and imagine my surprise when I opened the package of the boxes and there were TWO of them per package.  I was so excited.  I didn’t know that about these cute things. These little beauties are so easy to put together.  I just wrapped a pretty piece of ribbon and added a tag. 

To make the tag I ran my Kraft cardstock through the Big Shot and used my Two Tags Die Cut (115954)  which is exclusive to Stampin’ Up!  Seriously, a must have die cut.  You can use this die cut anytime of year.  I stamped lightly onto the tag with the En Francais stamp set (109521) and then stamped that beautiful Medallion stamp set (115223)in Tempting Turquoise at the bottom of the tag.  So stinkin’ pretty.  The Birthday Bliss stamp set (115442) was used for the sentiment.  I used my two favorite colors (today that is) Soft Suede and Tempting Turquoise.  Super fun little gift.

Here is another birthday card sitting on my desk waiting to go in the mail.  I just need to look at it one more day and then it will be off to the belated birthday girl.  Thank goodness she knows I love her dearly despite my crazed birthday card madness. 

This card uses Kraft cardstock and Blush Blossom.  Kinda yummy together.  The stamp set I used is Everything Nice (113818).  Fun stamp set to play with. 

Well, I need to put another layer of clothing on.  I am freezing today.  Looks like tomorrow is not going to be any better.  Again, great days to sit inside and stamp away!

Anyways, I wanted to share a fun card with you this morning.  The stamp set Pumpkin Patch (116499) for 22.95 is a great set to add to your collection.  The beauty of this stamp set is you can use it for more than just pumpkins.  This set is very versatile.  I see balloons, Christmas lights, Eggs and much much more with it.  I love a stamp set that I can see WAY outside the box with. 

I typically use Classic ink on 98% of my paper crafting projects.  For this I used Craft ink for my little pumpkins.  I really do like how Craft ink gives a muted effect when stamping on paper.  You just need to give a little time to dry.  I used the gorgeous Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper and mounted it to Chocolate Chip cardstock squares.  I’m not quite sure where I was going with this card, but here it is.  I just like the pumpkins.  I am working on a few more pumpkin cards today. 

Make sure you are checking the NEW deal of the week on the right side of my side bar.  Stampin’ Up! has really provided some great deals this month.  I love these specials.  Check them out and don’t miss out!  Order on line from me and I will send you a little hand stamped gift as a "Thank You". 

Time to get back to stamping.  It’s soooooooooooooooooooooo quiet in the house.  I love it.

This chubby cute Santa comes from the set Just Beclause (116640).  He is super cute and has loads of possibilities, except my brain was not working the way it should have the other night.  I also used the stamp set Four the Holidays (116921) for the sentiment at the bottom.  GREAT sentiment stamp set.  To create this card I used Black Craft ink to stamp the Santa and then clear embossed him on Kraft cardstock.  I colored him using a blender pen and inks.  I used my White Gel pen for the white on his beard and coat.  You will notice I used the Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder (116824) on the side of the card along with my favorite Taffeta ribbon…Kraft!  Lastly I added some buttons from the Playground Designer Buttons (116313).  I love BUTTONS!!  It’s another fun kick I am on! 

I hope your Sunday brings a little sunshine to your day.  It’s not looking very sunshiney here in Colorado but I have hope!

Don’t ask what I was doing!  I’m never sure of that.  <smile>  Just know that I felt like getting my silly’s out. 

Have a great day.  I’m watching the snow fall here.  Makes for a great day to get some stamping done. 

Today I wanted to share a fun project that you can do for any holiday!  Since Halloween is just around the corner I chose to make some really cute Halloween Gum Wrappers.

Enjoy making these!  They are addicting! 

I can’t tell you how much I love Halloween stuff!  I just think there are so many fun things you can stamp for Halloween.  I know not everyone digs it as much as me, but one of my classes I did the end of September and beginning of October was my all time FAVORITE!  This class was not only fun, but has the most unique box.  My friend Christy and I get together monthly to work on a class series that we named "A Trip to…"  Each month we have researched our project and come up with what we think is fun and unique.  Christy is my box guru.  I can give the girl a sketch and she just goes a mile further than I could ever think.  This box is my all time favorite.  This class to go is one I think you will love making and has more possibilities than just a Tombstone!

This tombstone holds 4 cards and 4 envelopes.  It’s a fun gift for anyone.  It uses the Graveyard Gala and From the Crypt stamp set.  Two of my favorites this year in our catalog. 

Class to Go Kit:  $8.95

 This class has a 14 page PDF of instructions to make the box and 4 cards inside the box for $8.95.  If you would like to purchase this class to go, click the Buy Now button below!  I think you will enjoy this fun class!

Once you have purchased the class please allow up to 24 hours for me to send the PDF.  Most of the time I am very quick to get your PDF to you.
