Suite Seasons Quick & Simple Dry Embossed Handmade Halloween Card in Emerald Envy and a touch of Ghoulish Grunge

Today I have a sneak Peak from the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue that launches next week

Any of you that are Stampin' Up! Guru's will recognise the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) as an item that is now retired, But I just HAD to get this Embossing Folder out of storage and dust off the cobwebs, as everyone begins their Halloween Preparations

Kids would LOVE to make their own Halloween Party Invites, and something simple like this is quick & easy, and a little supervision from an adult.

I decided to go with Emerald Envy Cardstock for the Card Base and dry embossed the card front.
I used a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock, and grunge'd it up using the netting stamp from the Ghoulish Grunge Stamp Set in Basic Grey Ink, and over-Stamped this with the Sentiment from the Suite Seasons Stamp Set in Basic Black Black Ink

The sentiment was Die Cut using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies, and a Scallop Circle, Die Cut from Smokey Slate Cardstock. There were popped up but mounting each layer with Stampin dimensionals between, an then mounting onto the Card Base.
Finally, I added a Whisper White Panel to the inside of the card base for the you (or the Children) to write on,.

Brushstrokes Flourishing phrases & Embellished Ornaments Handmade Christmas Card Stampin' Up! UK

Can you believe it is Saturday again? The weeks are flying past, and I am starting to think on the designs I will be using for this years Christmas Cards ... I Know, I can hear you groaning from here.
And for this card, I need feedback from you, my faithful followers please?

The two cards in the photo, differ, and I want to know if you prefer the design with the leaves? or the one without the leaves?

For this design, I wanted to keep it clean, crisp, and simple

The colour-scheme was kept equally simple, using ink pads from the Brights Colour Collection

Daffodil Delight
Old Olive
& Real Red
With Cherry Cobbler for the Card base

It does mean I have used three stamp sets, but for me it is worth it
The background uses the Brushstrokes Stamp Set
The Flower & leaves are from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set
& the festive sentiment is from the Delicate Ornaments Stamp Set
Embellishment was kept equally simple with Basic Rhinestones for that Festive Twinkle.

Wherever You Go Guy Greeting Masculine Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Today I have a Masking Technique to create the Sky Background to this Masculine Card.

The Wherever You Go Stamp Set, is another of the great collage stamp sets in the new Catalogue. Most (but not all) of the collage stamp sets, including this one, don't have sentiment Stamps in the set.

So I used the Guy Greetings Stamp Set to get the Birthday Sentiment, that was then die cut and popped up on Stampin Dimensionals for added depth. The new Burlap Ribbon is fab, and super for masculine projects.
