Radiant Sunflowers, Sunflower Fields, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you.  Were you surprised it wasn't a Halloween card?  There's just a little over 3 weeks until Halloween and I still have Halloween Designer Series Paper (DSP) left to use and maybe I can get it done by the end of the month. I could if I make duplicate cards (now there's a thought!).  Pleas read on to see how today's card was made.

On the 8th I made a card using the "Sunflower Fields" DSP and I had messed up the orientation of the pieces and ended up with those pieces sitting on my worktable. I decided to put them together and make a card. I get the pieces safely off my worktable and a card gets created.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Early Espresso card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measures 4" x 5-1/4". I taped one to the outside. 

On the other piece I taped the DSP that was precut. The pieces measure 3" on the longest side (the top), the right edge measures 4" and the bottom measures 1". On the left piece the top is 3", the side is 4" and the bottom is 1".  I overlapped the right floral piece over the left piece.

This left me a white opening on the bottom area that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with.

I decided to cut a circle from the "Spotlight on Nature" piece and then taped it to a Early Espresso piece that I cut from the same die set. 

The flowers are from the "Radiant Sunflowers" bundle. I cut one using Crushed Curry and the other from Cajun Craze. The centers are cut using Early Espresso card stock and the leaves and stem are from Mossy Meadow card stock. I glued the center to the two flowers.

I glued the stem and then the Crushed Curry flower.  The other flower was set in place using a dimensional. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the circle piece and I laid it on top of the card so I could see where the words would go.

The words are from the "Radiant Sunflowers" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink. After stamping the words I removed the backing from the circle piece and set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a quick and easy card to make. And it did help that pieces were already made. The best part was that the pieces that were mistakes became a card that I am happy to send!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Frightfully Fun, Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun Times, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today's card has absolutely no stamping on it. It's rare but kind of fun to not have stamping. Nothing much to clean up either! Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside of the card.

On the front I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card.

I die cut the tree and bats from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black card stock that I had added a double-sided sticky sheet to (before cutting). I set them aside.

When looking at the dies in the "Oh My Fright" bundle I noticed the cloud dies. Why didn't I see them before? I guess I was just looking at the bats and tree, not giving the other dies a second look.  I cut out one of each and set them aside. 

The moon and words are from the "Frightfully Fun Times" sticker package. I set the moon in place. I trimmed the small cloud to fit around the moon's shape. Then I added the other moon. I used glue to set them in place.

The tree was set in place next and then the bats. I took my Cherry Cobbler marker and gave the bats deep red eyes.

The "spooky" is from the sticker set. I added Dimensionals to the back and then took some baby powder on a brush and covered the exposed sticky on the piece. I removed the backing on the Dimensionals and set the piece in place at the base of the trunk. I opted to put it there because the tree looked like it was just floating in air and looked so out of place. It still looks like it's floating but not as much, it's not so noticeable but it is now because I pointed it out to you.

This was a fun card to make and it was so uncommon for me to make one without using any ink.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Frightfully Fun, Frightfully Fun Times, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. It's pretty quick and easy to make and with a layout I rarely use. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

On the front I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front.

Next I cut a piece of Basic Black card stock using the 5th die in the "Party Banners" set. 

The DSP strip on top is from the same package and was cut at 4-3/4" x 1-3/4". I used the same banner die at the bottom so I could get that nice "V" look. There was no die in the set that would fit the width of the piece I cut. I didn't think about it before I cut the strip. I had no idea where I was going with the card or I would have cut it to fit that die to get the rounded tip. It is what it is and it still looks okay.  I centered the strip on the Basic Black piece. I turned it over and added dimensionals. 

The "Happy Halloween" is from the "Frightfully Fun Times" sticker sheet. I affixed it to the banner/strip piece. The bottom of the word piece is about 3/4" from the tip of the Basic Black piece. The word piece stuck over the edges of the Basic Black piece. I used some baby powder to stop those edges from being sticky. 

I removed the backing from the back of the layered piece and centered it on the front of the card.

There are some cute little ghosts on the sticky sheet and I thought one would look nice on the card. 

Using the ghosts and white dots from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package, I added a few to the card and the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. It was a different layout for me to use but it was fun.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Frightfully Fun Times, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4". I taped one to the inside and the other will go on the front.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I cut it at 4" x 5-1/4". I marked the center at 2-5/8".  I marked 1-3/4" from the center mark and cut from the center mark to the 1-3/4" mark. I scored from the center cut mark to the tip of each corner on the right side. I taped those folded pieces down. I like to cheat when I find center. I take scrap copier paper and cut it to the length of the piece I'm working on. Here I needed to cut the piece at 5-1/4". Mine measured about 3/4" wide. I folded it in half and that gave me the perfect center. I do that for almost all of the cards where I need to find center. It's a super easy and accurate way to find center.

The DSP was then taped to the other piece of cut Basic White card stock. 

I stamped the words from the "Oh My Fright" bundle and were stamped using Basic Black ink on the exposed white area.

The larger ghosts are from the "Frightfully Fun Times" sticker sheet. I forgot I had that sheet. It's pretty full. I need to use more so I can not feel bad about buying it. I used three of the ghosts on the front of the card. I also added some cute little ghosts from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package. I added 5 of them to the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I'm in need of quick and easy this week. I'm getting ready for an upcoming craft fair and it's crunch time. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. When I picked up my package of "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DPS), it felt lighter but it still has a lot of sheets in it. So I thought I need to make more Halloween cards. Plus there's a few weeks to Halloween and after that I won't be posting anymore of them, so I need to work on some now. Please read on to see how this card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside. 

On the front I cut a piece of DSP that measured 5-1/4" x 4". On the bottom of that piece I had taped a 4" x 1-1/2" piece of DSP from the same package. That piece was leftover from cutting a 4" x 12" strip and then cutting that strip to 5-1/4". I kept the scrap because it was wide enough. 

Once the strip was taped I hunted in my ribbon stash for something that would look good with this. In a clear plastic baggie I found a piece of this black gingham ribbon so I thought I'd use it. One less piece of ribbon in that package!  YAY! I ran my tape runner across the ribbon and laid it on the line of the orange piece of DSP. I used scotch tape on the back to hold the ends down.  A knot was tied and glued to the ribbon band. I should have waited to glue it because I think I would have liked the tree on the other side but it's okay, it worked out.

Next I taped the DSP to the front of the card. Then the fun began. I die cut the tree and bats. I had a sheet of Basic Black card stock that has a double sided sticky sheet on it, so I could make these into stickers. Gluing tree branches is not fun at all. They are from the "Oh My Fright" bundle.

The ghosts were cut from vellum. I cut three of them and then I cut an extra one that I had a double sided sticky sheet on it. I'll discuss that fiasco in a bit.

I lightly set the tree on top of the card and placed it where I thought it looked the best. Then I slipped two ghosts behind the branches and pressed down lightly on the part of the branch that touches the ghosts. I removed the tree with the ghosts on it and added glue to the back of the ghost where the branches were. The tree was then pressed in place. I used my heat tool to warm up the tree a bit so the tree would stick better. 

Now for the upper left ghost. I set one in place that had the double sided tape on it. It almost disappeared on to the DSP but it was blotchy. SO I took the other ghost I had cut and glued it in place. Vellum and glue do not go well together. I recall years ago I had used vellum tape. I know I don't have any and if I still had some it probably would be dried up because it was that long ago.  Anyway, the ghost looks blotchy because of the glue and the ghost under it. I wasn't able to remove the first ghost or I would have. So it is what it is.  

The bats were added next. I took my Cherry Cobbler marker and colored the eyes in. I like bats to have deep red eyes. Kind of creepy. They do show up red but you have to look closely. You won't see it in this pic. 

The words are from the "Oh My Fright" bundle and were stamped using Basic Black ink on Basic White card stock. I fussy cut them and set them in place using dimensionals.

I thought the card could use some of those cute little ghost embellishments. They are from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" adhesive backed package. They're so cute. These I didn't cover with glow in the dark paint, thought I think it would be fun. I just ran out of time.

This was a very fun, quick and easy Halloween card to make.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Radiant Sunflower, Scalloped Blooms, Sunflower Field, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you.  I found a fun one sheet wonder post with several layouts on the internet. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Crushed Curry. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

Next I cut my Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Field" 12" x 12" package.  The two pieces of DSP were cut at 4" x 4". They were cut along the diagonal at 1" from the opposite sides. When I cut the second piece I cut the diagonal in the opposite direction.  To clarify, I marked the right side down 1" from the top and on the opposite side, the left side, I marked it 1" from the bottom. And for the other sheet I marked the upper left and bottom right. Once cut at the 1" mark, I taped the top piece to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. Then I stamped the flower from the "Radiant Sunflowers" bundle using Crushed Curry ink.

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Scalloped Blooms" and were stamped using Early Espresso ink. I didn't have the same wording as on the original card. That one was done using hot foiling. I don't have that machine (it's on my Christmas wish list. With my fingers crossed. And maybe birthday too! For the rest of my life! LOL).  I just made do with whaat I have. 

Once the words were stamped I taped the bottom piece of DSP in place.

The flowers are from the "Radiant Sunflowers" bundle and were cut using Cajun Craze for the carnation looking flower. On the sunflower shaped one I used Crushed Curry and Early Espresso for the center. The fun thing about the die for the sunflower is that you get to cut two at a time. So I cut two centers at the same time too and I have an extra flower for later.  The leaf in the bundle was stamped using Mossy Meadow ink on Mossy Meadow card stock. It was cut out using the matching die. When cutting the leaf out I also cut some leaves on stems because I needed a couple of tiny leaves and my scrap piece of card stock had room to add them, so why not? 

The carnation looking piece was set in place using a dimensional. The sunflower was added with another dimensional. I added glue to the leaves and tucked them under the sunflower.

I didn't have the green gingham ribbon but I did have a brown in my stash, so I used that and I thought it worked out well.

I had some little glass raindrops that I colored using a Blends pen. I don't like coloring them with my blends pen because I find it ruins the tips. I did save my Blends pens with the ruined tips for two reasons. One is so I could color things such as this and the other is that if it's replacement dries out I might be able to switch the barrels inside and have a working pen. I haven't had to do that yet but I do have a number of ruined pens on hand. It seems that it's the brush side of the pen that gets ruined and the other writing end is still good. So that's another reason not to toss them.

Anyway, this was a fun, quick and easy card to make. I love this layout. Next time I do it, I'm just going to use 4" x 4" pieces of DSP. I tend to cut my sheets at 4" x 12" when I need a piece for the front of a card, so I'm 1/3rd the way there. No need to cut the 6" x 6" piece for me! I'm sure I will be making cards with the other parts of the One Sheet Wonder.  

I have some Christmas sets and pieces stamped that I want to work on but I need to play with Halloween and fall a bit more before I move on to Christmas. My plan is to use up as much of the DSP as I can so I don't have it sitting around here. I have SO much in my stash. I'd love to say that I will be using it up soon but we all know that's not going to happen. LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Fun For Fall, Fern & Flora, Sunflower Fields, Thanksgiving Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall thankful/Thanksgiving/friendship card to share with you. Most of this card was already done and sitting on my worktable. I am not sure where I was going with it but today this is how it ended up. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

The Crushed Curry piece measures 4" x 5-1/4" and was textured using the "Sunflower" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card base.

A piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. It measures 2-3/4" x 4" and was taped to a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of Cajun Craze card stock. Dimenisonals were added to the back and it was set in place on the center of the card.  Now that was as far as the card went before I had abandoned it. 

I thought of who I needed to send cards to and I will be needing a thankful for you card for a friend in November so I will actually be ahead of the game. That doesn't happen very often. I hope I can find it when November rolls around. Now not being able to find cards happens often! LOL

The words are from the "Fun For Fall" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the die in the "Fern & Flora" bundle. Using the same die I cut a piece from Early Cajun Craze card stock. I cut that piece in half and taped each half to the top and bottom edges of the word piece.  I added tape to the back and two small dimensionals to the right side and set the piece in place about 1" up from the bottom of the card. And the card was done.

It was nice to get this card off my worktable and create a card before it got ruined. I think my friend will like it. I love these fall colors and this DSP is SO pretty.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Thanksgiving card,

Spooktacular, Oh My Fright, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have some quick and easy Halloween cards to share with you. I found the card on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut 1" off the front right side. 

The Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Spooktacular" 6" x 6" stack. I cut 1-3/8" off each side and 1/2" off the bottom. I taped it to the front of the card. 

The strip that I cut off was trimmed to measure 1-1/4" and it was taped to the inside of the crd on the right side.

I did stamp on the inside. I used the "Happy Halloween" from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black ink. And surprisingly so, the card was done.

So super quick and easy.  There are 4 images in that stack and I was going to make a card using each design but the Frankenstein one just didn't work. I would have to cut off the bolts on the neck and it just didn't look right so because I had cut for card bases I decided to make two Dracula ones.

These were very fun to make and so super quick too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween cards,

Merriest Tags, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you that I had seen in an email. I clicked on the link in the email and was taken to the original page. You can see that card by clicking here. There was a link to get the instructions to see how it was made but the link wasn't working so I just winged it. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock that measures 3-3/4" x 5". On top of that is a piece of Basic White measuring 3-5/8" x 4-7/8". I textured it with a snowflake die that I had. 

Using the 3rd smallest die in the "Party Banners" set I cut it from the center of the Granny Apple Green piece. Then I taped the textured piece to the Granny Apple Green large layer.

Then I took the 6th largest die and cut a piece from the "A Stitched Season" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DPS). I taped the Granny Apple Green banner piece to the bottom of the DSP piece. Then that was taped to the Basic White piece. I added the ribbon. I cut a piece about 4-1/2"long and taped the ends to the back of the piece. I tied a bow and set it aside. Once everything was taped down I taped all of it on the front of the card base.

The Basic White circle was cut next. I used the bulb die in the "Merriest Tags" bundle. I textured it using the "Softly Woven" embossing folder after it had been cut. I cut a 2-3/8" circle using Real Red card stock. I glued the two circles together.

Next came the stamped items. The candy canes were stamped using Real Red ink, the stockings and greenery were stamped using Basic Black ink. I colored the stockings with my Real Red marker (yup, I kept my markers). The berries were colored in Real Red and the leaves were colored using Garden Green. 

I glued one candy cane to the loop of the bulb so it wouldn't show. Then arranged the rest of the pieces as much as I could to look like the ones on the original card and I glued them in place.  Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The bow was then glued on and some red rhinestones were added.  And the card was done.

When I had a play date with a friend I had stamped these images to use later.  Well, when I saw this card in my email, it was now "later". So I got out the pieces and colored them and then proceeded to get the other supplies I had in my stash to put the card together. I have lots of pieces from various sets to play with at a later date!  It's fun when we share what we have so we don't have to buy our own sets but can still play with lots of sets! Gotta love play dates!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Oh My Fright, Spooktacular, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I found a card on Pinterst that I thought would be fun to make. It allows me to use Designer Series Paper (DSP) from two packages (which is a good thing because they are seasonal and I need to use them up). You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White was cut for the inside. I stamped the "Happy Halloween" from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black ink. I taped it to the inside of the card.

On the outside I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock for the largest layer. On top of that layer is a piece of DSP from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the Pumpkin Pie layer and then that was taped to the front of the card.

The skeleton face is from the "Spooktacular" 6" x 6" package. To get the face centered I cut 1/2" off on each side. And for the top I cut off 1" and then cut the remainder of the piece to measure 4". I taped it to a 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock.  And then that was taped to a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock. Dimenisonals were added to the back.

A 1-1/4" x 4" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock was cut for the strip on top of the large layers.  It's about 1-3/4" up from the bottom of the card base. After it was taped in place I added the skeleton face and the card was done.

This was such a fun, quick and easy card to make. I don't usually stamp on the inside of cards but there was no room to stamp on the outside without taking away from the cuteness of the face.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Happiest Season Tags, A Stitched Season, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card made using some ephemera pieces. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "A Stitched  Season" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.

The ephemera pieces are from the "Happiest Season Tags" package. I removed the backing and affixed them to the arched tag piece. 

In the package I round the cute dotted red ribbon piece and affixed it to the upper part of the tag. I took some baker's twine and tied a bow to the upper part of the arched tag piece and the dotted red ribbon piece.

The tag piece wasn't a sticker so I had to add tape to it and set the piece in place on the front of the card. I allowed room under the piece for the "Merry Christmas" wording. I'm not sure what set those are from. They were sitting on my worktable and I thought I'd use them. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. 

The three red embellishment dots are from the "Christmas Berries" package.  There's some cute leaves with it but they got lost in the background so I used them on the little pink flower.  I can't wait to play with them all together on a card!

This was a fun card to make. It's a quick and easy card to make. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Radiant Sunflowers, Banner Sayings, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you. I ran across the card front with the left layered panel already taped to it. I must have had plans for it and changed my mind. But I thought I would make a card with it so it didn't get ruined. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Crushed Curry card stock and textured it using the "Sunflower" embossing folder. I had glued it to the front of the card.

Both panels measure the same. The Cajun Craze layers were cut at 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". On the left panel a 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. It was taped to the Cajun Craze layer. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the upper left side of the card about 1/4" from the fold and the top edge. 

On the right panel I cut a piece of Basic White at 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" and I scrubbed on some Cajun Craze ink using my blending brush.  

Using the "Radiant Sunflowers" bundle I cut the vase using Early Espresso, the leaves were cut using Mossy Meadow, the sunflower was cut using Crushed curry and the flower center was cut using Cajun Craze card stock. I added tape to the back of the vase and added the stem and then the flower was taped on. These pieces won't stay together well because there's not enough surface to make them stick but I didn't need them to hold well. I just put them together so I could lay it on the Basic White piece to see where the words would go. 

The words are from the "Banner Sayings" and were stamped using Basic Black ink. They are about 1/4" from the bottom edge of the Basic White edge. 

I added glue to the assembled flower pieces, I set it all in place on the center of the Basic White piece. Dimensionals were added to the upper right and lower bottom area of the panel and tape on the upper left where it touches the DSP panel.  And the card was done.

It's fun to find cards partially done and whip up one in no time! Plus it was great to get it off my worktable without it getting ruined. A win/win!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

Spooktacular, Halloween Tissue, Weekend Project, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I thought I'd create a fun project to share. I love to have tissue in my car and you can find the round tissue container that fit nicely in the cup holder in the car. I got mine at The Dollar Tree. I didn't want to buy them online because I only needed one container and other places that sell them have them in multi-packages. I only wanted one. Please read on to see how I decorated my container.

I cut two strips of Basic Black card stock that measured 9" x 1".  I taped one to the top and one to the bottom of the container. To get the edges even, I taped the strips on the container having the edge of the card stock against my table so it laid evenly around the container. I flipped the container over and added the second strip the same way. I used super sticky tape because regular double sided tape wasn't strong enough. Glue will work well here too. 

My cute pumpkin face is from the "Spooktacular" 6" x 6" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I had to use two sheets because one wouldn't go all the way around the container. So this meant that I needed to trim the sides of the DSP at 3/4" on each side of both pieces. 

I marked the center of the container and I marked the center of the DSP. The center of the container was marked too. Center didn't have to be exact, just close. As long as it's close to where the Basic Black strips were in the back. I used very sticky tape to the back of both pieces of DSP. Leave about 3/8" of the Basic Black showing on the top. And begin your first piece of DSP on the back. Then tape the other piece of DSP to the front and you're done!

What a fun way to decorate your car a bit for Halloween and that's the extent of decorating in my car! LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween project,

Season's of Celebration, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you using ephemera pieces. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of "Irresistible Designs" Designer Series Paper (DPS). Using a Blending Brush and Hydrangea Hue ink, I scrubbed on some color to the DPS. I taped this piece to the card base.

The word piece from the "Season's of Celebration" was added first. I removed the backing from the piece and added Dimensionals. I took my paint brush and added some baby powder to make the sticky part not sticky anymore. I removed the backing from the Dimensionals and set the piece in place at the bottom of the card about 1/2" from the bottom edge of the card.

I did the same with the back of the adorable truck and I set it in place about 1/4" from the bottom of the tire to the top of the word piece. 

There were stars in the package so I added them to the card too. I gave them a bit of sparkle using my Wink of Stella pen and the card was done.

This was an unbelievably quick, easy and fun card to make. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
