One of the best kits in recent months is the Haunted House kit. This kit makes an adorable 3D haunted house. Here's a picture of the kit from the Stampin Up website. The kit looks great assembled just as the directions indicate. But... what if you did something a bit different with it? What could I transform this cute, simple house into? I made a base out of foam board and then covered it with air dry clay. Once the clay was dry, I used … [Read more...] about Make It Your Own

Pumpkin Spice
The More Than Autumn bundle is a great set for the entire Holiday Season. It has options for cider, pumpkin spice, and cocoa. I went with the Pumpkin Spice option this time.

Click the Shop button on the right and it will take you to my online store which is open 24/7. … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Spice
Hello, Fall
It's getting closer and closer to Halloween and pumpkins are everywhere. It's finally cooling down a bit and no longer over 90'. It definitely feels like Fall. Today's card using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set to make my own patch. This is a bit similar to the card from Wednesday using the large tag and smaller circle over the top. Here's another look at that card. If you hadn't already heard, Stampin Up acquired the rights to … [Read more...] about Hello, Fall

Scenic Pumpkin Patch
Happy Monday! I'm sharing another card using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set. But this time, I didn't use any of the pumpkin stamps.

Be sure to come back Wednesday to see the latest round of our "New at SU" blog hop. This time we're sharing products and projects … [Read more...] about Scenic Pumpkin Patch
At The Patch
One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting a pumpkin patch. I love checking out the pumpkins and corn mazes. And many of our local patches have a farmers market too with fresh produce. I can't resist taking home some pumpkins to add to my porch. The Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set has a bunch of individual stamps for you to design your own pumpkin patch. For example, the stems are a separate stamp from the pumpkins, and the fence is a … [Read more...] about At The Patch
Those Gold Leaves
Hello, Fall! I'm in love with this Fall paper. I have a tough time with gorgeous papers because I really want the paper to shine. But I also want to use it because it is so pretty. Something this pretty really needs to be shared with a friend. Add in those gold leaves.. and it really steps up the look of the card. Those gorgeous gold leaves come in two sizes. They are a perfect addition to any Fall project. Today is the last day of the … [Read more...] about Those Gold Leaves
Crisp Autumn Days
Sometimes your paper is so pretty it really doesn't need much to enhance it. I added the stamped sentiment to the top right corner and a couple embellishments. The sentiment almost looks printed onto the paper. Many of our pattern papers are hand painted by Stampin Up's art team and then reprinted for our use. The pattern papers are so pretty, I have a hard time using them. But, I've decided it's better to use and share the beautiful … [Read more...] about Crisp Autumn Days
