Nuts about Squirrels fun card

 Welcome to my blog. I know I haven’t been consistent lately and apologize for that. I’ve been working on several projects but I find that although I love Stampin Up I also have other companies I like to use. I’m continuing as a Stampin Up demonstrator and you can order product from me. I will do 2 days Stampin Up as primary and the other days using other or combination of companies products. I love making dog cards and Stampin Up doesn’t give me enough variety so incorporate my dog products with Stampin Up products. 

For the above card I used Nuts About Squirrels stamps. This is a 2 step stamp set. I first stamped using Early Espresso then for the second step I used Cinnamon Cider.  I then fuzzy cut out the image.The card base is white cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. The layering piece is retired DSP 4 x 5-1/4. The ribbon an glitter are from my stash. The sentiment is from the Festive and Bright stamp set.

Pencil holders using retired Halloween DSP

 

Welcome to my blog. Here is another craft fair item that is simple. This one is Halloween related but I’ll be making some Christmas ones as well. I’m using retired DSP because I didn’t buy the new Halloween paper. I don’t make a lot of Halloween cards and items so I could not see buying the new one. If you need Halloween paper or other related items you can find them on page 50 of the mini catalog. You then can purchase them from my website.

Materials and Directions 

- You’ll need a piece of DSP 10-3/4 x 1-1/2 score at 6 and 6-1/4

- After scoring I place tear and tape on the inside of the long side. Then I adhere the pencils.

- Then I close the holder and tie it shut with ribbon.
