A Simply Super September

September has a magical feel and we wanted to enhance that feeling for our Second Thursday Stampers by creating some magic of our own.  Our brand new Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog© is making it easy and oh, so much fun! 

A little bit of reindeer fun from Cookie Cutter Christmas, and a spooky scene created with Spooky Fun will give our stampers some holiday fun.  We don't want to neglect our beautiful new Touches of Texture set from our Inspiration Book, so we created a sunny little "last of the season flower" to give everyone a bit of the feeling of a warm Fall Wisconsin day.

Fancy Fall Flower

A little stamp here and a little stamp there . . . a little bit of shine, burlap, lace, and twine, and we have a fancy little collage card in just a few minutes.  Touches of Texture has so many possibilities.  We pulled out some earthy autumn colors to give us that warm Fall feel and the result is this simply beautiful card.

 Touches of Texture Collage Card

It was fun to find just the right texture elements from the many choices in our set.  We used more than our share of clear block sizes to make this happen, but the results are worth all the mounting and cleaning!  Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake Inks did the heavy lifting, but a splash of Peekaboo Peach and So Saffron Ink helped make this beautiful collage come to life.  What would a collage be without some shabby chic, so we paired a little lace with burlap and twine, then topped things off with shiny Sequins and Gold Wink of Stella.  Chocolate Chip and Peekaboo Peach Card Stocks give a warming backdrop for our Fall flower.  The toughest part of this creation was knowing when to stop.  It is easy to get carried away with all of the possibilities in this set!

A Cookie Cutter Rudolph

Simple, simple, simple and so darn cute!  This quick holiday card is done in a wink.  Our super sweet Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and Builder Punch Bundle from the brand new Stampin’ Up! © Holiday Catalog might just get everyone in the mood!

 Cookie Cutter Rudolph Card

We encourage individuality with our Second Thursday Stampers, so we are letting them have their choice of paper from The Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack.  The Baker's Twine Trio Pack, also from the Holiday Catalog, has both Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green to wrap liberally around this little present!  Rudolph was colored with Basic Black and Real Red Water Color Markers, and stamped on some Crumb Cake Card Stock.  A little punch with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and he's ready to lead the way on a foggy Christmas Night.  The other reindeer are stamped with Basic Black Ink, punched out and adhered to the card front.  Rudolph gets popped up with some Dimensionals to make him the standout that he is!  Our Whisper White Card Stock card base is decorated up on the inside with some leftover DSP pieces and a happy little sentiment from the stamp set.  Doesn't this adorable card make you want to grin?

EEEK!

Ready for Some Spooky Fun?  This card was fast and fun.  It comes together in the wink of an eye with loads of help from our Halloween Scenes Edgelits.  This bundle is sure to be a "go to" design package for our scary Halloween season.  We are pretty sure these edgelits are going to find their way into some other seasons as well.

 Some Spooky Fun Card

Our full moon lighting up the spooky tree was punched from Daffodil Delight Card Stock with the 2" Circle Punch and sponged with Pumpkin Pie Ink.  We started out with a Pumpkin Pie Card Stock base and a Smoky Slate Card Stock card front.  The pumpkins are--what else?--Pumpkin Pie stamped with Basic Black Ink.  The little Smoky Slate splotches are from Timeless Texture.  Once again, Dimensionals are our friends!  They make for some "standout" little bat and pumpkin action.  No tricks, just treats with this one.
