Halloween time!

My daughter Audrey and I love our owl punch!  I made this card for club last year, and pulled it out for her and a friend to make... she did everything free hand except the actual owls... i think she did great!
With 3 daughters, life is pretty busy, so stampin' time is not happening as much as I like... but I do find that when I scrapbook or make cards, my kids want to, too!
Here's what we made:

 And then for club this month, we did a smorgasbord of projects, but this card was new:

We used the mosaic stamp set, and matching punch and embossing folder.... I love the elegance in this card, and yet it was super simple!

Now we will be heading full force into Christmas Card season... come back soon for sneak peaks on my Christmas Stamp a Stack cards!

Papaya Easel

For club in September, we made this card with the Easel technique .  It was simple, and fun... and I love all of the layers.

Stamp sets: Papaya Collage,Vintage Vogue wheel and Sweetly Framed (hostess set)

Colors: Always Artichoke, Primrose Petals, Soft Sky, Early Espresso and So Saffron

here's a close up of the main images:

We stamped off the bird, and cut out the butterfly and rose. Simple and fun!

And as a second simple project, we made this little gift tag to go on gift bags (although one of my club members mentioned it would make an adorable bookmark, too!

it's much smaller than it looks, but super cute and fun and easy! 

Here's the fold on the inside:

Just make sure to fold or score the top of the coffee to make it double, and then cut around both without cutting the top!  And then stamp a lid separately and cut it out, and pop it on with 3D dimensionals, and voila!
