These owls are sooo cute!  I love the variety of stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, and how well all of our products work together across the product line.  For this card, I combined elements from three stamp sets:  from the Have a Hoot Stamp Set, the Gather together Stamp Set and from the Forever Fern Stamp Set.  The Black grid was created using one of the dies from the Best Plaid Builder Dies. All of these elements create such a fun Halloween card.  You'll have so much fun coming up with your own scenes with the cute owls from the Have a Hoot stamp set.  You'll find yourself reaching for this cute set for Halloween, Christmas, and Fall Birthdays or Celebrations.      

Halloween card idea using Have a Hoot Stamp Set


The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White Cardstock.  Then one of the dies from the Best Plaid Builder Dies created the Basic Black grid.  It did need to be cut to fit the card front.  Then I stamped all of the remaining elements on Whisper White.

I used three different stamp sets to create all of the elements.  I used Mossy Meadow Ink and stamped several sets of leaves from the Forever Fen Stamp Set.  I used the Forever Flourishing Dies to die cut these elements.  The I stamp pumpkins from the Gather Together Stamp set, colored them with Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends, and used the Gathered Leaves Dies to die cut the pumpkins at the bottom of the page.

The owl elements were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink using the Have A Hoot Stamp Set.  Then I used the Peek-A-Hoot Dies to die cut the owls, with some additional fussy cutting to some of the branch elements.  The owls were colored with a variety of  Stampin' Blends Colors listed in the recipe below.

  • Posted For You Stamp Set
  • Coordinating Rectangular Postage Punch
  • August Paper Pumpkin Kit Delay

I love how this card turned out!  When I first saw the Posted For You Bundle in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog, I couldn't wait to find a way to use it.  But it sat on my work surface, taunting me for a couple of months before I finally sat down to create with it.  I'm so glad I did.  I'm so happy with the way this card turned out.  Soft Suede and the In Color, Misty Moonlight, are a delicious color combination.   I used the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder, the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and Tasteful Labels Dies to create the elements on this card.    

Floral Birthday card using Stampin' Up! Posted For You Stamp Set


The basecard for this card is Soft Suede cardstock dry embossed with the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder.  I ran it through my new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, which will be available to customers beginning in September..  Then, I layered Misty Moonlight Cardstock, Brass Foil Sheets, and one of the Misty Moonlight prints from the 2020-2022 In Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Papers.        


Misty Moonlight Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Posted For You Stamp Set

For images, I selected a stamp from the Posted For You Stamp Set.  I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to Punch 3 Whisper White Rectangles.  Then I stamped the image from the Posted For You Stamp Set onto each rectangle.  I used Light Blends in Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake to color the images.  I used the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter to lighten the flowers.

I selected a sentiment from the Posted For You Stamp Set, die cut a stitched label for my sentiment using the Tasteful Labels Dies, and stamped the sentiment onto the Whisper White label using Misty Moonlight ink.

The three images and the sentiment were all popped up on Dimensionals before adding them to the card front.
