Here we go again with more Turnovers! I told you this set was just too much fun! You can find this set here I stamped the ornament in red , and this time did not turn it over , just colored it with my markers. And added the bow that I colored with my wink of stella. The "wink" picked up just enough of the ink to shade the bow and give it some sparkle. 

 

I am working a "how to" video.. to be posted soon.. so be sure to check back in a few days!  TaTa for now, Barb

Here is another card I made using the Turnovers stamp set! I used the bat, stamped with smokey slate on the smooth side of the stamp, then turned it over and stamped  on the "bumpy side"in versamark and embossed with black embossing powder. For the pumpkins I stamped with cajun craze in on the "bumpy side" then turned it over and stamped pumpkin pie on the smooth side. I used the Life is beautiful stamp set for the tree and leaves , found here  video coming soon on how to use this very versatile stamp set! I just love that little bat! I think he has personality plus! He is a happy little bat!  

I hope you are enjoying this very nice fall weather.. at least its still nice here in Michigan... ;I am afraid colder weather is due soon.. right now our trees still have a lot of green and most all their leaves... we are just starting to get fall colors.. Til Next time.. take some time to do something nice for yourself.. and stay safe! TaTa for now, Barb
 

How fun is this Happy Haunting card?? I started out with my least fav color Sahara Sand. Then I took a piece of card stock and punched out a 2 inch circle to use as a mask... then daubed white craft ink in the circle, then used some pumkin pie and mango melody ink on a dauber to make my moon. I did use a heat gun to heat set the white ink before using the other colors.  The next step I used Basic Patterns decorative masks and embossing paste to make my trees. When it was dry I took a light black blends  pen and carefully colored the trees when the paste was dry... the paste dries really fast . The card was cute, but missing something.. so I got out my most overlooked and underused stamp set, Turnovers. its on page 60 of the Aug- Dec catalog. found here  .  I have had so much fun with this set... this is where I found the adorable bat... yes bats can be cute! The Happy Haunting is from page 65 in the same book, called Banner Year. 

I hope you like todays card... it felt good to just sit and stamp for the fun of it. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life we forget to do something for ourselves! I hope you can take the time and do some stamping for YOU!   Thats it for today Folks, Ta Ta for Now..Barb

 

 Summer has left us , but she goes hesitantly! Today and tomorrow it will go up to 81* so we have opted to keep the pool open this weekend and will close it soon.. I kind of hate to see it go, but I do love fall , the colors, the cooler day, sweatshirts and jeans.. and of course pumpkin everything! 

I made this card a while back. I just love the colors in the plaid piece ! I used a variety of stamp sets and dies! Stampin Up! makes the co-ordination of colors and products soo easy! You can see the list of supplies here...( well apparently the link is not working, try  this)

 

we will be making a variation of this in Hostess club this month! I can't wait to see how my ladies embellish their wreathes!

Speaking of Hostess club.. I am always looking for more ladies to join our club. Here is how it works... You commit to 6 months of club, and spend 25.00 ( before shipping and handling) ( of course you can spend even more!! ) and once during that 6 months you receive the hostess benefits! The very LEAST you will get free is 15.00 but that is rare, most of the time its lots more! As a club member you receive other special benefits! 1.  first to get the new catalogs.2.  first to have a crack at my retired goodies sales.  3. If you cannot attend in person  I will have a host code and you can order on line and your order will come right to you! On line orders ALWAYS get a hand made card from me as well as a small thankyou gift for ordering on line.... and I will send you the finished products and instructions for you make your own. 4. Order of 40.00 or more gets you one reward point.. when you collect 10 reward points you get a 40.00 gift certificate from me usable in my store. 5. When Covid is not disturbing our daily lives, I host a stamp with me night,,, you come and use your consumables.. i.e. cardstock, but use my ink , my stamps and my dies... and get TONS of ideas!    If you are interested in joining my club drop me an email at this email . And as always the  giggles are always FREE!                                  I have gone on long enough! Have a great day ! Happy Crafting and Ta Ta for now...................Barb
