Freshly Brewed Blog Hop – I’ve been framed!!

I’m joining the lovely ladies from Australia again this week for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop!

This week’s theme is frames, and I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this in their project. I decided to share a project I’ll be teaching in a Halloween Décor class this Saturday. We’ll be using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set, along with a few things from the Magic In This Night Suite.

The frame is 9 x 9. Our artwork is 8 x 8 (Cajun Craze) layered onto the white mat that came with the frame. I remove the glass from the frame and place it behind the mat to add stability, and if I want to use the frame for something else later, I don’t have to look for the glass!

The black cat’s eyes, nose and collar are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a small clear rhinestone tag on his collar.

The bats are cut from black cardstock and painted with Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

A small square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and the spider is colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends. The silver cord is a vintage product.

I’m excited to have this class and let everyone add a little spookiness to their homes this Halloween.

Gilded Autumn Stampin’ Surprise

I miss my stamping friends!! Between the Covid restrictions and building a new house, I’ve been trying to do more events online.

One of the things we’ve been doing is Stampin’ Surprise. I post a list of the materials needed (with a picture of what I’ll be using), and everyone who participates prepares their own packet. Then, we get together on Zoom and I TELL them how to make their card. They don’t get to see a sample or picture of the card they’re making. They make their card just following the verbal instructions I give them. Some of my friends are really visual (as am I), so it’s outside the box for them. But, I’ve had a good time with it, and they seem to enjoy it, too.

This was one of our Stampin’ Surprise cards. I used the beautiful Gilded Autumn Suite, which is my current favorite. We followed a sketch design from Mojo Monday.

I just love the little leaf and acorn stamps and punches. They are quick and easy, and add such a pretty embellishment.

They also are the perfect addition to the inside of the card.

I hope you like this suite as much as I do! In my next post, I’ll show you all the beautiful cards made by my stampin’ friends!

Stampin’ Surprise!

I recently offered a FREE Zoom event to my group of stampers. I gave them a list of pieces they would need (with measurements), so they could have everything cut in advance. Then, we got together on Zoom and I gave them verbal directions to stamp and assemble their cards. They didn’t get to see a sample of what they were making, so it was a mystery card until they were finished. I was very impressed with the cards they made!!

If you missed the card I made, you can view it here.

These are the cards made by my talented stamping friends!
