Recipe page

On Soul Scrappers we had a challenge to make a recipe page and I thought I would also combine it with the Create with Connie and Mary challenge of anything but a card this week since I have limited time. 

I had posted about these stamped cookies awhile back and thought it would be fun to do the recipe page with them as well.  The page is done with My Digital Studio.

Daisy thank you

I used Mary Jo's sketch for this quick and easy card. 

Supplies:

Upsy Daisy stamp set

Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock

Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive classic ink

dotted scallop ribbon border punch

dimensionals

Jolly Holiday Designer series paper

Wicked Cool Chocolate

I saw these cute little treat boxes  here and had to make one, they are super easy too.  I changed a few things, but not a whole lot.  They fit two small candy bars easily and would make a fun package for the trick or treaters :)

Wicked Cool Specialty paper

Black satin ribbon

silver brads

decorative label punch

Wicked Cool stamp set

dimensionals

sticky strip

Canjun Craze card stock

Letterpress plates

I tried out one of the new letterpress plates on this card and used Basic black ink on it before I ran it through the Big Shot.  For this card, I actually ran it through with less layers so that I only got the ink impression and not the debossing and decided to distress it a little with some sponged black ink.

The mat color is Cherry Cobbler and I used a couple of the vintage tricket brads on the curly label punch.

Treat card

I used a pattern from Pockets of Inspiration for this card, I just love the little box on the side and in Melanie's example, she used caramels or kisses inside which work great too.

and the inside...

I used the Wicked Cool Stamp set and also the Specialty paper and coordinating Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White card stock.

One layer just believe

This card is a CASE of one made by Kathy Baffone and I did it for a featured stamper challenge.  It is also a one layer card and I used our clear blocks to add the color to the background.

Supplies:

Just Believe stamp set

Early Espresso, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake classic ink

Whisper White card stock

Wicked Halloween

Here is another Halloween share that I CASED from our demonstrator Stampin' Success magazine.  I didn't change too much, but I just love the color combination the Wicked Fun Specialty paper gives us - Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Old Olive and Cajun Craze.  The stamp set is Wicked Cool.

Button Birthday

I am combining 3 different challenge in 1 for this card - Create with Connie and Mary had an inspiration challenge, Just Add Ink had a sketch and Funky Friday Craft Challenges was just add buttons!

I used the hostess stamp set Birthday Bakery and the saying comes from Full of Life.  The colors are Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizazz and Peach Parfait.

I came home to this wonderful package of Stampin' Up! goodies on Monday and even though I didn't have time to do more than open it, I was so excited!  It is the free merchandise I received for being one of Sherrill Graff's sample makers - well worth it :)

I am really happy to be able to try out the Simple Alphabet dies, they are definitly something I would not have purchased for myself so they are going to be fantastic for scrapbooking.

I really like this new die box for the Sizzix dies too, they fit inside so nice and help to organize my clutter!

Thanks Sherrill!

thank you

I followed Mary Jo's sketch for this card and used the Elegant Soiree designer series paper.  The stamp set is Because I Care and I used the top note and the dotted scallop ribbon punch.  The colors are Marina Mis, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.

Siblings

This page was another one for a Soul Scrappers Challenge.  It is difficult to see, but I used some of the Vintage Trinkets on this one - the safety pins and brads and I just love these!  I tore the edges of some of the paper for a little more textured effect and the colors are Old Olive, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and the Autumn Spice Specialty Paper.

Distressed sympathy

This is another card using the Autumn Spice Specialty Paper in the Holiday Mini catalog.  I distresses the edges on all of the papers as well and added my favorite Victoria crochet trim.  The stamp set is Thoughts and Prayers.

Cousins

I am so fortunate to have a talented photographer for a brother, although it means my scrapbooks are REALLY big because I can't seem to leave any of the pictures out!

He took this one of my sister's girls and my kids during wheat harvest this fall.

No layer card

This card is my second sample for the Late Night Stampers challenge of no layers this week.  I sponged Daffodil Delight into a spot I masked with what was left after I die cut one of the square scallops in the new Scallop Square Duo die.  on the side I used the edge of card stock I had punched with the scallop border punch as my guide.

I just love Mary Jo's sketch this week and will probably do some more cards with it in the future. 

I used Autumn Spice Designer Series Paper, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, More Mustard and Very Vanilla card stocks.  Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and More Mustard classic inks; Vintage Vogue as the stamp set and lots of basic pearls.  The punches are the 1 3/4 inch circle and the 2 1/2 inch circle.

Final projects

I thought I would share the actual projects we made at last Saturday's stamp camp after giving you some sneak preview's last week. 

The first card is made with the Owl punch and the new Autumn Spice Specialty Paper and highlights several other punches as well.

This is Lisa's card and is made using the Simply Said stamp set,  the Butterfly Embosslit, Top Note Die and basic rhinestones.

I ended up changing the gift card wallet slightly so that this was the front.  The butterflies are layered and the Designer Series paper is also embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Impressions folder.

Next Stamp Camp date for your calendar is the Saturday after Thanksgiving - November 27th.
