Stamp Off Case the Catty Merry Moose


Hey friends.  Buffy, Susan and I are ready for our first
Stamp Off challenge of September.

This week, we are doing a CASE (Copy And Steal Everything)
the SU catalog challenge.  This image comes from page 83.


For this challenge, I went really simple, with a moose!
When I don't know what to do for a challenge, I say
pull out the Merry Moose Set (August-Dec 2020 catalog)
on page 27, with coordinating Moose Punch.
When in doubt, I recommend the Plaid Tidings DSP on
page 57.   This DSP is like a pair of black pants, it goes
with everything!

I ran the background layer through the 
Winter Snow Embossing Folder on page 37.

I hope that you enjoyed my catalog CASE,
and check out the cards by my friends Buffy and Susan.

Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine



I just wanted to share some exciting details

about our new Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine,

presented on page 170-172 of the annual catalog.

It is NOW available and it cuts "like buttah!"

Hippo Happiness


The Hippo Happiness set (page 49) is so much fun to

play with.  Part of that fun relates to the coordinating

Hippo and Friends Dies (page 176).  There are just so 

many dies in this collection!  I often use the rectangles

with other sets, for framing a sentiment.

Butterfly Gala with Lace 3D Embossing Folder


Sometimes, a white card is the way to go, when you
need something elegant. The butterflies from Butterfly Gala
(page 70) offer several different patterns and lovely
sentiments.   I sponged the whisper white layer with
Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana and then ran it through
the Lace 3D Embossing folder (page 184).   Finally,
I added some Wink of Stella to the butterfly wings, to
make things sparkle.

Way to Goat with Umbrella Builder

When looking at Way to Goat (page 105), I usually
want to put something in that goat hoof.  In my head,
it's either dancing, or using some sort of prop.

In this example, I used the Umbrella Builder punch
(page 167) to create a prop. In hindsight, I could have
added some rain!  I used the sentiment from the 
coordinating Under My Umbrella set on page 20!

Forever Fern with Garden Gateway Die

This card is a combination of the Forever Fern stamp set
(page 110), Forever Flourishing Dies (page 175) and the
sprig from Garden Gateway on page 181.  I really enjoy
using glimmer paper, including this Balmy Blue on page 37
of the August-Dec 2020.

I added a bit of the In Good Taste Designer Series paper
on page 148.  The background layer was run through the
Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder
