Just a quick post today as we have last minute things to get ready Trick or Treaters tonight. I just wanted to post some of the cards I made for Halloween that were from a class given by my dear friend Cathy! We had a lot of fun! Here they are…
Love me some Tim Holtz! Happy Halloween everybody! Now on to Christmas getting ready for the 10th of November and my Sampler class.
Be kind to everybody and make time for Creating With Paper!
Greetings All!
I have just fallen in love with the Stamp Set Peaceful Boughs and it's coordinating die set. Sooo pretty! I wanted to share 3 cards I made from it. The gray one we will be making at my Sunday Craftin' Gals Gathering this coming Sunday! It looks difficult, but it isn't and comes out very pretty.
Here are the three cards I recently made with it (and the inside pictures too):
Here are the supplies I used to make them!

I encourage you all to get the bundle and save 10%! Page 15 of the Holiday catalog.
I have had a chance to use the new Paper Trimmer that Stampin' Up! is coming out with. It is similar to the old one, yet very different. Several demonstrators have given their "opinions" on YouTube, so if you are curious, go check those out. I love it! My only concern is the opening and closing of the cutting blade/scorer "handle". I am so afraid that I will warp it by pulling it up. Probably fretting for nothing, but I had an old trimmer that had a warped arm and it ended up going in the trash because it wouldn't score and wouldn't cut good. But that is the only concern I have. It cuts extremely smooth – even on the whisper white card stock that was always the issue paper – scores wonderfully you don't even know it scores it is so smooth. So all in all I think it is well worth it! The blades are unique too! I can see how these blades will last a lot longer than the old blades. I will still take my old trimmer to classes and use it on jobs. Keeping that fandangled new one all to myself! Ha!
Well, that is all for today. Be kind to one another and always make time for Creating With Paper!
Boo! Be Grateful! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Wow! Here they come! I am very excited this year about all of these Holidays and more! But first lets see what my Sunday Craftin' Gals Gathering did on September 22nd! We made a tea light Halloween lantern of sorts and two Fall cards that came from the August Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! I fixed Beef Stroganoff to try and get us in the Autumn Chill mood. But low and behold it was like 78 that day! Oh well, we still had fun crafting and filling our tummys.
(You may have to click on the photos to see all of each one. For some reason, my blog isn't capturing the full photo…eek!) We always have so much fun at these gatherings. I wish I could hold them more than once a month, but because I pretty much provide everything for them, it is just too exhausting. The ladies love it just as much as I do though.
October 1st is bringing on some new things at Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will get to Pre-Order the BRAND SPANKING NEW Paper Trimmer! We are all so used to calling it the Stampin' Trimmer, but it is no longer referred to as that! I am going to order it and a pack of 4 extra blades to try it out! It still will score in addition to cut, so I am thrilled about that! Plus! It is only $25.00!!! Cheaper than our last one. Bargain, Bargain, Bargain!!! Here is a sneak peak at it:
Here is a cute video showing the new Trimmer
They do not have a release date for customers yet, depending on how it goes over with Demonstrators. Another great reason to ask me about becoming a Demonstrator!

Okay! One more announcement and I will show you a card I have been working on! October 1st once again, Stampin' Up! is offering the Pre-Order for Demonstrators the Christmastime Is Here Suite.
