Autumn Leaves Bundle, Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper with video!
I am loving the Autumn Leaves Bundle, either just the dies or the stamp set, or the bundle! The "THANK YOU" sentiment is from the Phrases for All stamp set from page 55 of the annual catalog. The Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper is also from the annual catalog, pages 70, 71, and 130. The Autumn Leaves Bundle is from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog, pages 42-44. The All About Autumn 6 x 6 paper is so gorgeous but is unavailable until the week of October 9th. So I just wanted to show that IF you have the other paper, your cards can turn out beautiful, too! What are you thankful for? I love the sentiments in the Autumn Leaves stamp set, and the "I'm thankful" card says on the inside, "to have you as a friend". Make a card and let your friend know you are thankful for that friendship! Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Just click to order. Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I cut my angle. I am a work in progress but it may help you to cut this angle.

Card base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored @ 4.25
DSP: 4 x 3.75, then cut at an angle and pull apart to fit your card front. Stamp in the open space.

National Pepperoni Pizza Day with Supremely Awesome Stamp Set!
I think this pizza card turned out great! I did use the retired Stamparatus to line up the slim checkered stamp, stamping it several times for the width of my cardstock. You could use some designer series paper from your stash if you have some black and white checkered. I did fussy cut around my chef, easy fussy cutting. I am thinking you could cut off the pizza and add a stuffed turkey or birthday cake, too. Those are not in the stamp set, though. Supplies are below. Just click to order. This stamp set is on page 80 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.

Autumn Leaves Bundle with the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper!
Check out the Autumn Leaves Bundle on pages 42-44, and page 67 of the Stampin'Up! 2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog! This is an awesome leaf set with dies! My previous card was made with the stamp set, but not the dies. You save 10% if bought together! All of the leaves on this card were die cut from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper. Notice that I die cut the label twice, cutting the Wild Wheat one in half and "stretching" it a bit to show on the top and bottom of the sentiment. Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Just click to order.

Video! Pick of the Patch Bundle and the Patchwork Pieces Dies!
Maybe I am silly, but I decided to combine the "PATCHwork Pieces Dies, and the Pick of the PATCH Bundle to make this card! I think it turned out great! I am still using the Them Bones Designer Series Paper. This may be a club card project this month! I adhered my die cut pieces to a 3-1/8" x 4-9/16" Very Vanilla card stock piece, and alternated the designer series paper and the Early Espresso die cuts. Then I adhered this rectangle of die cuts to another Very Vanilla card stock that was 3-1/4" x 4-3/4". This 2nd piece of card stock is what adds the border around my die cut pieces! Add this to a card stock base, add the pumpkins, leaves, and sentiment and you are done! Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Just click to order! Happy stamping!
Card measurements:
Card base: 8.5 x 5.5, scored @ 4.25

Video, Autumn Leaves Stamp Set with sponging a "stencil"!
Fall is coming! I love Autumn with the crisp, cool weather! I made a stencil with a window sheet and 3 circle dies from the Deckled Circles Dies. Then I laid that "stencil" over my Very Vanilla card stock, and sponged with the Blending Brushes and Crushed Curry ink. Love this new stamp set, which is part of a bundle. Check it out on pages 42-44 of the 2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog. Supplies are below. Just click to order. Happy stamping!

More Halloween Candy Favors! Bag of Bones Bundle!
My skeleton images were all die cut from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper! The candy bar skeleton was an edge piece so tucked that partial die cut behind the mausoleum. The same with the full body skeleton. It didn't have a complete arm because it was also an edge, but I want to use every bit that I can. I did cut several full body skeletons, and the cats and dogs from one sheet of 12 x 12! I put a fruit snack in the one, and the other holds a full size Hershey Bar. Fun, fun! Happy stamping! You can order from the Stampin'Up! September-December Mini Catalog September 6th! These products are on pages 48 and 49, and 67!

Moving skeleton Treat Bag!
The Bag of Bones Bundle is packed with 31 dies, and coordinates with the Bag of Bones Stamp Set, 23 stamps! The limbs and torso have tiny holes for brads. I secured my brad "wings" with a mini glue dot. Since this was my first time playing with this bundle, I did make my skeleton, so that both arms and both legs are movable. I think future "bodies" will have less limbs that are movable! I heat embossed by stamping with Versamark on black cardstock, and embossing with white embossing powder. My bag is made with the die from the Tricks & Treats Bundle, which has a video assembling it here. These new products are from the 2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog, pages 48-50. You can order them starting September 6th! I will add a supply list then so you can click to order! My background is from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper, same pages. Happy stamping!
Video! Tricks or Treats Bundle, Halloween bags, Stampin'Up!
I love making treat favors, and this die set has a treat bag that you can use with ribbon or just a decorative top! Change out your papers and stamps, and you can use this year round! Watch the video to see how easy it is! New product can be ordered September 6th! I used the Them Bones and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Papers. Watch on Youtube, and subscribe to my channel to see any new videos! I am sorry I have been awol. Hubby was hospitalized 15 days in August, 3 admissions, and sadly September is not looking better with family issues!

Wanted to Say Dies with Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper!
This really is a very quick card. The words and flower are die cut pieces from the Wanted to Say Dies, page 167 of the 2023-2024 Stampin'Up! Annual catalog. I feel like these dies are overlooked since they are not bundled with a stamp set. It die cuts the words and a solid background layer for behind the words if you want. The words are: you're too kind, Happy Birthday, Feel Better Soon, and Celebrate. There are also flowers, hearts, stars, and gift box and bow. You could use a full 4 x 5.25 designer series paper layer, but I did two 2 x 4 pieces to get more cuts from my sheets. Supplies are below. Just click to order. Remember with every $50 subtotal, you earn a $5 Bonus Day Coupon to be redeemed in August! Happy stamping!
