Welcoming Fall September Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the SSI September Blog Hop where we are welcoming fall with open arms!  I love fall; the scents, the colors, the holidays, the cooler temperature, and the pumpkin and apple treats!  I have two fall projects for you to check out today.  As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 3 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - (Leanne at Literally My Joy). If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

First up I have some cute candy holders that I will have available at my first ever Vendor Fair.  I am starting small with the Fest O Fall in my township.  I am super excited to meet people and share what I love to do!

I just love the Curvy Keepsakes Die!  I made some apples and pumpkins and filled them with caramels.  I thought the Hello Fall sentiment and a little bit of gold was the perfect touch.  Oh, and wondering about the little leaf?  I used the Bow Builder Punch!  These treat holders were so easy to make and I can't wait to share them with everyone!

Next up is a festive fall card using both new and old supplies.

Don't you love that leaf paper?  Wonder where I got it?  I made it!  That is right, I made my own DSP with those leaves from A Little Something.  Also something to note, is that the Into the Woods DSP (that beautiful cluster of fall flowers) has Whisper White in it.  I had started my card with Very Vanilla.  So I sponged the DSP with Soft Suede to make it look like it was Very Vanilla so it would all work together.

Minion Punch Art Card

I was hoping to get a chance to take my daughter to see the new Minion movie.  But with the hustle and bustle of the summer, that didn't happen.  Fortunately I went to a kids birthday party which had a Minion theme so I had a chance to create some Minion cards.  I made the flip card last week.  And today I have a little punch art card using the owl punch.  Here it is:

This was pretty easy to make.  I liked the idea of the Minion being carried away by a huge balloon.  It seems like something Kevin, Stuart, or Bob would do for sure!  You can find a complete supply list below.  Check out the punch art creations over at SSI!

September Color Challenge

Happy Monday and welcome to this month's color challenge.  We have a great trio of colors for you to focus on, perfect for cards, layouts, or 3-D projects in any theme you would like!  Here are your colors:

I actually needed to make a baby themed card for my mother.  We were out shopping together and she asked me to take her to a card store.  Of course I was flabbergasted and refused!  I knew I could make her a super cute card that would be extra special.  Here it is:

I love the Something for Baby bundle....it is perfect for baby themed cards.  And the extra little ribbon and washi tape were the perfect touch!  Side note, if you don't have the 1/4 inch cotton, ribbon you should totally get some.  We have them in lots of colors bound to match any project you have in mind!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to upload your creation over at SSI.

Spider Web Doilies

I am just loving all the fun products in the new Holiday Catalog!  The stamps, the tools, the paper, it's all so wonderful!  But the coordinating accessories are my favorite for sure.  Today at SSI we are showcasing the Spider Web Doilies.  I know that you can totally use these doilies for a non Halloween project, but I love me some punch art, so I went ahead and took a web and made it a home.  Check out my card:

I love my spider, but let it be known I only like spiders in paper form.  Those real creepy crawly ones can stay outside.  I made mine with some Black Glitter Paper and used the Chevron Border punch for the legs.  I also used some of the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter paper and sponged it with Tangelo Twist.  You can find a complete supply list below.  Did you get a chance to see the other projects focusing on the Spider Web Doilies over at SSI?

Gift Bow Die

I love my Big Shot!  This is not big news.  I also love the Bigz Dies...and I guess that might qualify as Bigz news?  Today at SSI we are spotlighting the Bigz Dies found in the Annual Catalog.  I have three projects for the upcoming season using the Gift Bow Die to share with you today.  First up is using the die as it was meant to be used, to make a gift bow.  Here I dressed up a cute bag of Halloween candy with the Happy Haunting DSP in the new catalog.

This was super easy and a great way to use up that DSP that we are hoard.  Here is a supply list:

Up next I made some home decor, perfect to adorn the Thanksgiving table.  

This took a little bit of time and was inspired by this fabulous tutorial.  I did change things up a little bit.  Here is a supply list:

And my absolute favorite project with the Gift Bow Die is the Angle Christmas Ornament.  These are so easy and so pretty.  Here is one I made super quickly.

I used the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack.  Instead of Whisper White and Very Vanilla, they have Gold and Silver in the pack.  If I had know that I would have bought that pack of paper right away!  These paper stacks are so wonderful, with four great patterns to choose from.  I picked the gold paper for my angel and added other gold accessories.  Here are all my supplies:

Holiday Catalog Countdown - Day 1 New Products

It's here, it's here!  You can now order from this fabulous catalog!  Don't break the internet!  Today I have a stamp set that I actually won at convention.  Actually I have a picture of exact moment that I realized I won, along with the best upline ever!  

Wahoo!  Free stuff is awesome.  Although to be honest I would have bought this set anyways.  I am a sucker for snowflakes.  I have them all since I have become a demonstrator!  Here is the card I created:  

I decided to go with some non traditional Christmas colors.  And of course I had to use the emboss resist technique.  Here is the inside of the card as well.  

I stamped the largest snowflake in Soft Sky and then stamped the sentiment over it in Bermuda Bay.  Here is a complete supply list.

Minion Flip Card

These cards have been floating around Pinterest and I had really wanted to try my hand at them.  So when I saw we were doing a post on Kid's Birthday Cards, I had a great opportunity.  Here is my take:

This card was surprisingly easy to do.  The flip cards are so fun and with the Thinlit, you can make them so quickly!  I don't know how I create with my Big Shot.  Here is a complete supply list below.  Don't forget to check out the other Kid's Birthday cards over at SSI!
