Halloween Card idea using Banner Year Stamp Set and Inspiring Canopy Dies

                    

  • Stampin' Up! Banner Year Stamp Set
  • Double Oval Punch
  • Pick a Free Sale-A-Bration selection with $50 order

If you're looking for a quick, easy, fun Halloween card idea, today's card is right up your alley.  I used the Inspiring Canopy Dies to create trees on a background created with the Bark 3D Embossing folder.  I used images from the Banner Year Stamp Set to create a sentiment, and added Rhinestones and Pastel Pearls and a spider web stamp for a little fun.  I used one of the double oval punch shapes for my sentiment.  To add a little more Halloween theme, I fussy cut the image of a tombstone and a Halloween bird from one of the prints from Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper.  Now I can't wait to send these cards during for Halloween.

Halloween greeting card idea using Stampin' Up! Banner Year Stamp Set and Inspiring Canopy Dies


The basecard for this card is Basic Black Cardstock.  Then a layer of Highland Heather dry embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Then I die cut the trees using the Inspiring Canopy Dies and Basic Black Cardstock.  Tip.   I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Basic Black Cardstock before die cutting the tress.  This make adhering the tree branches to the background layer a piece of cake!  I love that the four trees are all a single die.  This made creating this card extra fast.

Then I found images on the Cute Halloween 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper of a small tomb stone and a purple bird that accessorized the card beautifully.  I fussy cut them from one of the 6" X 6" prints.

I completed the card by stamping a scalloped oval, punched using the Double Oval Punch, from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  I used a sentiment from the Banner Year Stamp Set and stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  On the corner of the sentiment, I stamped a spiderweb from the Banner Year Stamp Set. I also scattered 4 Basic Rhinestone Jewels throughout the trees, and added a Pastel Pearls to the edge of the sentiment layer.   sentiment was stamped on a die cut from the Bloom Dies.

I  know I'll be using this card as one of my bulk Halloween cards this year as it is a snap to create.

Playful Deer Christmas Card idea using Peaceful Deer Stamp Set

                   

  • Stampin' Up! Peaceful Deer Stamp Set
  • Coordinating Deer Builder Punch
  • Select Peaceful Prints 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper as a Free Sale-A-Bration selection with $50 order

I still had one of the prints from Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper on my work surface and decided to make another card using the Peaceful Deer Bundle, one of my favorite new sets from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.  I paired it with die cuts from the Stitched Stars Dies, the Wintry 3D embossing Folder, and a Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Bow to create this simple card with a playful deer focal point.  And a quick reminder:   Until 30 September, for each $50 or $100 order you place (less tax and shipping), you'll earn FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.

Christmas Card with a deer focal point using Stampin' Up! Peaceful Deer Bundle


The basecard for this card is Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then Star Die Cuts were created using one of the dies from the Stitched Stars Dies.  Tip:  I backed the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock with Adhesive Sheets before diecutting the swirly stars, which made it very easy to remove the backing from the die cut and adhere to the top and bottom of my card.

The image layer of the center of the card is Basic White Cardstock dry embossed using the Wintry 3D embossing Folder, and matted with a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.  The deer was punched from the Peaceful Prints 12" X 12" specialty Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  It was punched out using the Deer Builder Punch.

The sentiment was stamped on a die cut from the Bloom Dies.  The sentiment is one of several from the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set, and it is tamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.  I also added a bow out of Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, and added three Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels to complete the card. 

I'm sure I'll be making many more cards using the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set and it's coordinating Deer Builder Punch.  And I used some of my Free Sale-A-Bration selections with my recent order to pickup several packages of Peaceful Prints Specialty designer Series Paper, which coordinates with the Peaceful Deer Bundle. 

Last week, we received a heads up that suppliers both in the US and China that supply SU products are running behind, with low inventory on several ink pad colors and a few holiday catalog items already in shot supply. Order now so you aren't disappointed later.
