Stamp Off Have A Hoot Bundle

Today Buffy, Susan and I are doing a Fall Challenge.

That means anything from leaves, to witches!  

Since we all have different product, I think you will see 

some variety.

 I've done two versions of this card, with different color 

schemes.  The Have A Hoot Bundle (page 62 of 2020 Holiday)

gives you tons of options for layouts.  The images are 

animated, with dies that make layering easy.  It covers both

Halloween and Christmas.   In this example, I colored the owl and spider with Stampin' Blends!

For the colored layers, I used the  Plaid Tidings 6x6

DSP (page 57) and a strip of Black Glitter Paper (page 53).

The Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (page 53)

adds texture to the background layers.

Thank you for swinging by.  Please don't forget to

check out Buffy and Susan's Fall samples.

This is a "gray version" of my Fall challenge card.

Christmas Layers with Peony Garden DSP

 Sometimes you need a quick card for a

difficult situation.  Detailed dies can be your friend,

when it comes to creating the focal image,

by using the negative part of the die cut.

For this card, I used a die from the Christmas Layers

set on page 180.   I feel that these Christmas dies can work for

a variety of situations.  I removed the die cut image and placed

a strip of Peony Garden DSP (page 149) behind.  The 

sentiment comes from the So Sentimental set on page 74.

I added a twine bow and the card was complete.  

To make a quick Christmas card, you can use a different

sentiment and put green cardstock or DSP behind the image.

Flight of Fancy Halloween

This cute set is Flight of Fancy on page 59 of the

2020 Holiday Mini.  I often go for sets that cover 

multiple holidays, so this one fits the bill.  I colored the

focal image with Stampin' Blends and then cut it out

with the Hippy and Friends Die (page 176).

I added some Plaid Tidings DSP (page 57) and

Black Glitter Paper (page 53).

Layering Peony Garden DSP Circles

 Sorry, but I'm just going to have to say it.  

That darn Susan.  She posted a wonderful card here,

and I was compelled to try this layering circles technique.

I will admit that I didn't follow the directions

precisely, but then I never do.

I had just purchased the Peony Garden DSP

(page 149).  I know this looks a bit busy, so that is why

I kept the background plain.  I liked this arrangement

of patterns because it reminded me of looking down into a shell.

I knew that I needed a long sentiment for this technique,

and love the "You've been on my mind" stamp from the

Butterfly Gala set on page 79.

I couldn't tell you what circles I used, but I stuck

with only 4.  Then I just alternated them for the 

matching layers.

Have a Hoot Pumpkin

I've been using the Have a Hoot Bundle (page 62 of 2020 Holiday),

because it is so darn cute.  I realized that I had not used this

image, so needed to get busy.  I colored the image

with Stampin' Blends and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes

Dies on page 183.

I added two circles from the Plaid Tidings DSP pack

(page 57 of the 2020 Holiday).  The background layer,

which is hard to see because it is black, was run through

the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (page 53).

 

Have a Hoot Bundle

 I think that the Have A Hoot Bundle (page 62 of 2020 Holiday)

is just the cutest product grouping.  The images are so

animated, that you can't help but smile.  It covers both

Halloween and Christmas, so you get a lot of bang for your 

buck.  You could also use some of the owls for general

winter cards.  The images are great fun to color with 

Stampin' Blends!

In this example, I used a layer of the Plaid Tidings 6x6

DSP (page 57) and a strip of Black Glitter Paper (page 53).
