Merry Cafe Hello Fall Card - September Card Club

Happy Friday everyone!  Here is one of the Card Club projects we are making this month featuring the Merry Cafe Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog.  It is absolutely gorgeous!!! 

I paired it up with the new Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.  This DSP pack is so pretty and I had a hard time selecting which patterns to use:-) 

This layout is great to mix and match different patterns of paper.  I'm not sure which pattern I like the most:)  How about you? 

Paper Measurements:

Tangerine Tango Card Stock (card base) - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
Very Vanilla Card Stock - 4" x 5-1/4"
DSP Pattern 1 (green leaves) - 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (1 piece)
DSP Pattern 2 (pumpkins/multi-color squares) - 2" x 2" (2 pieces)
DSP Pattern 3 (orange w/white dots-multi-color leaves) - 2" x 2" (1 piece)
DSP Pattern 4 (Early Espresso) - 1" x 4" (1 piece)
Copper Foil Sheet (leaf die cut) - 2" x 2"

To embellish my card I added a Copper Foil leaf die-cut and a Copper Trim bow.  The leaf die cut is from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.  The Copper Trim is amazing and is loose-weave with zigzag stitching.  You can actually stretch it out and make it like a mesh/net kind look. No wonder it's so popular!!!

Oh So Eclectic Embossing Paste Card

Happy Monday everyone!  Today's card is a step-up version of my Big Shot class card we did last month.  My Embossing Paste Basic Class is coming up soon and wanted to try more techniques to use the Embossing Paste. 

For this card I added a few drops of Tranquil Tide Ink Refill and Dazzling Diamonds to Embossing Paste on my Silicone Craft Sheet.  I used one of my Palette Knives to mix them well and then applied the mixture to a 4" x 5-1/4" Shimmery White Card Stock using one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. 

I love these bright colors together - Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist!   How about you???

My Embossing Paste Basic Class is scheduled this coming Sunday, September 17th.  Can't wait to show how cool this product is!  There are some spots still available.  If you are local and would like to attend, you can register HERE.  Click HERE to learn more about this class.

Spooky Cat Halloween Scrapbook Pages

Hello Stampers!  Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!  I got to spend all weekend in my studio alone and let me tell you I had so much fun creating these adorable pages for my this month's Scrapbook Club.

Speaking of my Scrapbook Club this month, it is coming up this week and there are a few spots available.  If you are local and would like to join us, please contact me (megumih4stamps@hotmail.com) to reserve your spot.  Non-members are welcome! 

September Scrapbook Club Workshop

• Date - September 7th (Thursday)
• Time - 6:30 pm
• Location - Dynasty Chinese Restaurant (Sequim, WA)
• Fees - FREE with a minimum order of $25 or more (before shipping and tax).  Or pay $25 for your project. 
• What to bring - Basic tools and adhesive

Here is the first page.  This page holds one 4" x 5" (Very Vanilla) and three 3" x 4" photos (Pumpkin Pie).

Aren't those pumpkins adorable???  I used the Pick a Pumpkin Stamp Set to stamp one pumpkin (the second from right) and four pumpkins are from the Spooky Night DSP.  I used the coordinating Patterned Pumpkin Thinlits to die cut all these pumpkins.  For the largest pumpkin I used Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper.  So pretty!!!

Where do you get your inspirations for your creations?  My next page was created by an inspiration I got from a broken spool of my Silver Mini Sequin Trim that I received in a recent shipment.  I think it got tossed a lot in a box and some how one side of the spool got loose:-).  While I was putting it back together, I got an idea to make a big loop on a page!  Crazy, right?  I am not good at using sequins on my projects but I really liked this idea! 

To secure the sequin trim, I used Mini Glue Dots and Dimensionals under the paper and embellishments.

I am loving the Spooky Night DSP!  The patterns are fun and pretty, and the fact you can use the framelits to die cut some designs in a snap.  So clever!  The medium size pumpkin is a die-cut using Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper and the Patterned Pumpkin Thinlits.  Make sure to save those tiny stars for the black pennant (see below).

My owl is stamped on a 3" x 3" patterned paper from the Spooky Night DSP and I added a hat from the DSP too. 

I stamped one cat using the Spooky Cat Stamp Set and then punched it out with the new Cat Punch.  My black cat is a punch-out of Basic Black Card Stock and I tied a bow to dress him up.  The black pennant is a die-cut from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits and I added some left over tiny stars from the pumpkin that I die cut earlier.

Spooky Cat Trick or Treat Card

Here is another Halloween card I made using the Spooky Cat Stamp Set.  For my card I punched out a black cat from the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper with the new Cat Punch. 

How about this cute hat???  I added a small Black Rhinestone Jewel (144639) to dress it up a little bit.  I felt the cat needed something as well so added a bow around his neck.  Too cute!!!

Spooky Cat Happy OWLoween Card

Here is a cute Halloween card featuring some of the products from the Spooky Night Suite in the Holiday Catalog.  Isn't it adorable?

My owl is stamped on one of the pattern piece from the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.  I cut one of pretty hats from the DSP with my Paper Snips and embellished it with the new Black Rhinestone Jewels (144639). 

I am so impressed with the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper!  Potions, pumpkins, witches' hats, cats, and eerie treats...this Halloween-themed paper has it all!  Plus, you can use the new Cat Punch to punch out cats, and the new Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies to die cut pumpkins.  So clever!!!
