Among the Branches - WWYS Challenge #34

This week the (WWYS) What Will You Stamp Design team was challenged to use the Among the Branches stamp set. This is a great set especially when paired with the Woodland Embossing Folder. I am excited to see what the rest of the team creates with this set! You can play along too, create your project and then post your sample to the (WWYS) blog for all to see.

This color combination has different spin and is something a little less traditional for fall. I gave the branches a little pop of pink by mixing a little Watermelon Wonder ink to Craft Whisper white ink. I used a sponge dauber to apply the mixed ink. If I try this technique again I think I'll use a paint brush for a little more control. It was hard to color in the lines of the trees.

I hope you enjoyed my project this week, thanks for looking. Head on over to the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and check out the rest of the Design Team's amazing projects using the Among the Branches stamp set. Happy stamping!

Holiday Mini Ink Bug Swaps

I received some happy mail this week! You may recall the Spooky card I made for Julie's Ink Bugs swap. Below is a quick phone snap of the cards I received in return. Most Swaps used products from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Holiday mini catalog. I love swapping by mail.

Sweet Hauntings - WWYS Challenge #33

Another week and another fun stamp set to inspire with (WWYS) What Will You Stamp Design team. I found all of the projects from last weeks challenge super inspiring. Remember, every Monday, our Design team posts projects using a single featured stamp set. This week we were challenged to use the Sweet Hauntings stamp set. This set has a matching note tag punch!!!

I decided create treat packaging instead of a card this week. Candy bar wrappers are so fun and easy to create. You can make them as simple or as complex as you'd like. The simple route: cut designer paper to the size of the candy bar and wrap. Instantly better. Step it up a bit more with a few layers. Sometimes when I struggle with a layout for a certain project I will first stamp all of the elements, cut them out and just start arranging pieces like a puzzle until I get a look I like. I find that process super fun!

BOO! More Howl-o-ween Treat samples

Yep, I have more samples to share using the Howl-o-ween treats stamp set, framelits and a traditional orange and black color combination.  

The spiderweb doilies are so versatile. Flip and use the back side for a totally different look. Tip with a black card: use a white gel pen or chalk pen to write a visable message on the inside.
