I used Highland Heather card stock and the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. The Stamp set is from one of my favorite greeting stamps, Go To Greeting, stamped in Highland Heather Ink. The Embossing folder is the Distressed Brick 3D embossing folder.
It’s time once again for another Festive Friday Challenge. This challenge is designed by several Demonstrators from all around the world. We are given a list of 10 inspirational items to pick from and we must use at least 3 to create our cards. This week’s challenge is Halloween #FF0145. I decided to make my own Designer Series Paper by doing a One Sheet Wonder using the Nature’s Prints stamp set.
My Inspirational Items were Black, Metallic Thread/Ribbon and Silver
Cutting and Instructions to create this card:
To create a One Sheet Wonder Designer Series Paper I started with half a sheet of Basic White card stock, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.
Stamp the largest leaf image from the Nature’s Prints stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink randomly on the card stock. Continue stamping the different images from the stamp set randomly on the card stock, stamp some of the images off the paper’s edge.
The dotted stamped image is from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set. Stamp the dots on the card stock to fill in the gaps. (see photo 1)
Card base is Basic Black card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ rotate the card stock and score again at 2 1/8″.
Fold the flaps into the center of the card, making it a double door card.
Cut 2 pieces of the Designer Series Paper at 2″ x 5 3/8″, adhere to the card base flaps.
Die cut a black tag using the Countryside Corners dies.
Die cut another Countryside Corner die in Basic White. I trimmed about 1/8″ off the edge and bottom of the die, making it about 1/8″ smaller.
Stamp the large leaf image in Memento Black ink and color lightly with Old Olive and Granny Apple Green Water Colored Pencils. (see photo 2)
Stamp a sentiment from the Nature’s Print stamp set with Versa Mark and heat emboss with Silver Embossing Powder.
Attach the left side only to the left flap with dimensionals.
Tie a bow with the Simply Elegant Silver Trim and attach to the card with a glue dot.
Add some Basic Rhinestones to the card to finish it.
Cut a piece of Basic White card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″ and stamp and color the large leaf on it and adhere to the inside of the card. (see photo 3)

I am so excited to be able to participate in the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop. We are a group of Demonstrators from all around the World, who love to share what we do. Each month we participate and share projects we are working on. Our theme this month is Thoughts and Prayers.
I am using the Hello Irresistible Bundle and the Silver 12 x 12 Foil from the Online Exclusive Products. The Silver Foil comes in a pack of three sheets, Brushed Silver, Matte Charcoal and Mirrored Charcoal. The finish gives it a very different silver tone. The Matte Charcoal has almost a purplish tone which worked well with the Highland Heather card stock and inks.
Cutting and Instructions to create this card:
Card base is Highland Heather card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2 ” scored at 4 1/4″
Cut a piece of Matte Charcoal Silver Foil from the Online Exclusives at 4″ x 5 1/4″
Here’s a little tip, to save some of the silver foil paper, die cut the circle from the Irresistible Blooms dies out of the center before you attach the silver foil layer to the card base
Cut a Basic White card stock layer 3 3/4″ x 5″ and adhere to the sliver layer with Stampin Seal
Place the silver die cut circle to the Basic White layer with liquid glue
Stamp a sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Highland Heather ink, directly on the Basic White layer
On a scrap of Basic White card stock stamp two of the smaller flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamps set in Highland Heather and the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink
Die cut the flowers and leaves out using the matching Irresistible Blooms dies
Place them on the circle with dimensionals
Tie a bow using the Silver and White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and attach to the card with glue dots
Add some Basic Rhinestone to finish the card
Now let’s hop over to see the other Demonstrators and their wonderful creations

It’s time once again for another Festive Friday Challenge. This challenge is designed by several Demonstrators from all around the world. We are given a list of 10 inspirational items to pick from and we must use at least 3 to create out cards. This weeks challenge is World Mental Health Day #FF0144. I decided to use the Beauty by the Sea stamp set.
The Inspirational items I used to create my card was Blue, Green, Sparkle and Frame.
Cutting and Instructions to create this card:
Card base is Basic White card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2 ” scored and folded at 4 1/4″
With Blending Brushes and Pool Party, Coastal Cabanna and Balmy Blue ink , lightly brush the Basic White card stock with the inks creating an under water scene
Cut another piece of Basic White card stock 5 1/4″ x 4″ and lightly blend this layer the same as the card base. I brushed it a little lighter than the card base
Use the 3 1/4″ Deckled Circle die and die cut a circle in the center of the card layer. Brush the edges of the circle opening with Coastal Cabanna ink, darkening the edges a little
Lightly mark the circle opening with a pencil to give yourself an area to create the under water scene
Stamp the coral reel in Versa Mark ink and heat emboss in White Embossing Powder
Stamp the long leafy image on the card base in Old Olive ink and the small leaves in Garden Green ink and do second generation as well
On a scrape of Basic White card stock, stamp the long leafy image in Old Olive and Garden Green ink. Color them with a Blender Pen
Stamp the fish in Memento Black ink and color the fish with light Lemon Lolly Stampin Blends
Stamp the anchor in Gray Granite ink
Die cut these images and add to the card with dimenstionals
Add some Basic Rhinestones and some Loose Silver Sequins to the card for some bling
This card was picked as a Festive Friday Faves. Thank you
It’s hard to believe October is here already and before long we will be getting the dreaded “S” word. I am so excited to be able to participate in this Gallery Challenge. This Gallery Challenge is made up of very talented stampers from all around the world, who create amazing cards. For the October Monthly International Blog Highlights Gallery, I decided to use a stamp set that I haven’t used before. This stamp set is called Sweet Citrus. It is a Hybrid set and that means it has an embossing folder and dies that can cut out and emboss at the same time. In this challenge you can vote for your favorite cards and later on in the month, the Top Ten Winners get to participate in the International Blog Hop. The theme for this challenge is Thank You cards and we can all use a little Thanks.
I would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes and vote for my card. Click on the image below to get the link to vote.

Have you seen the new Deckled Circles in the 2023 Sept – Dec Mini Holiday Catalogue? They are huge circles and there are 14 dies that graduate down from 5 3/4″ to 1″ circles. I saw France Martin of Frenchie Stamps create a flip up card using the large circles and decided to try it. I used the second largest and the third larges to create my card. Complete details can be found here…
