Hello and Happy Halloween! Today’s card features the Festive Post stamp set. This is a versatile set because it has images for Halloween, Christmas and Valentines Day and they can be punched out with either the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch or other punches and dies you might have in your collection. Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut piece of Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and crease with a bone folder.
Cut piece of Cajun Craze cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
Select two different pieces of Magic in the Night Designer Series Paper. Cut one piece at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and another at 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere both pieces to the Cajun Craze piece.
Cut three pieces of Whisper White cardstock at 1 1/4″ x 1 7/8″. Stamp the three images from the Festive Post stamp set. Stamp the October 31 image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Stamp the brooms with Cajun Craze ink. Stamp the greeting with Blackberry Bliss ink. Stamp the small spider from the Hallows Night Magic stamp set under the greeting.
Punch three of the Rectangular Postage Stamps from scrap pieces of Basic Black cardstock. Adhere to the stamped images.
Wrap a piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon twice around the Cajun Craze/DSP piece and tape on the back. Adhere this piece to the card front. Use Tear and Tape or Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the postage stamp pieces to the card front so that they stick well to the ribbon
Adhere five rhinestone basic jewels all around the card for some extra bling.
Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and stamp a greeting from the Hallows Night Magic stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Stamp large and small spider images from the set with Blackberry Bliss ink. Adhere to inside of card.
Hello! Here’s another card I created with the Hallows Night Magic Bundle. It was fun and easy to put it together. Here is how I made the card.

Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 5″.

Color the flowers with Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends and color the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Stamp greeting with black ink.

Hello! Today I’m sharing a fun fold Christmas card that features the Arrange a Wreath bundle. This is one of my favorite bundles in the annual catalog. It is so versatile because there are endless possibilities for you to make seasonal as well as all-occasion cards. This is one of the projects we made in my August class to go.
Here is how I made the card:
Card base – cut piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 2 ¾” and 8 ¼”, fold and crease sharply with bone folder. This is a fun fold so the sharper the crease the better the folds will lay flat.
Cut four pieces of one of the lighter wood image papers from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper at 2 1/2″ x 4″. Run all four pieces of the DSP through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. Adhere to front and inside card flaps.
Stamp leaf wreath from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink on 3 5/8” x 3 7/8” piece of Very Vanilla.
Cut piece of gold metallic brushed foil at 3 3/4″ square and die cut with the leaf wreath from the Wreath Builder dies. Adhere over the stamped wreath image.
Cut piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 4″. Adhere the wreath image to this piece.
Stamp pheasant with Soft Suede ink and three pears with Crushed Curry ink on scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. You will notice that there are two pear images on both the one stamp and coordinating die. It makes stamping and cutting the same pieces multiple times faster. Die cut images, arrange around wreath and adhere to card. For added dimension you can use Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Die cut the full bow and bow loops from a scrap piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Adhere the centers together with small dot of liquid glue and adhere to top of wreath.
Stamp greeting with Cherry Cobbler ink on scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Die cut with smallest oval in the Stitched Shapes dies set. Adhere to wreath with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the wreath piece to the left front flap. Be sure to only apply adhesive to the left side of the piece, leaving the right side unattached so that the can card open.
Stamp pheasant with Soft Suede ink in bottom left corner of the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Stamp a greeting if you choose. I used a greeting from the Toile Christmas stamp set and stamped it with Cherry Cobbler ink.
Today’s card features products from the Magic in this Night suite. When I saw this suite in the August-December 2020 mini catalog I knew right away that I would purchase some of the products because as much as I enjoy the more traditional Halloween stamps and papers, the ones this year are more sophisticated or elegant and it is a nice change of pace! I decided to showcase the die cut labels by making a gatefold card. It is one of the cards we made in my stamping club this month.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut piece of Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Score at 2 1/8″ on both ends, fold and crease sharply with a bone folder.
Cut four strips of Magic in the Night Designer Series Paper at 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere two of the strips to the front flaps and the remaining two strips to the inside flaps.
Stamp “Happy Halloween” greeting from the Hallows Night Magic stamp set with Cajun Craze ink on scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Run through die cutting machine with the smaller label die from the Halloween Magic dies.
Cut piece of Black Glitter paper with the larger die from the Halloween Magic dies. Adhere the stamped greeting to this piece with either Tear and Tape or Stampin’ Seal+. Adhere entire label piece to the left flap on the card front. Make sure that you only apply glue to the left part of the label so that the card can be opened!
From the sheet of Magic in the Night DSP with the bats, cut out both the large and small bats with the coordinating die from the Halloween Magic dies. Both shapes are included on the one die. Adhere bats to label.
Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp another greeting from the Hallows Night Magic stamp set with Cajun Craze ink. Stamp small bat images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink in opposite corners. Adhere to inside of card.
Cut length of Metallic Mesh ribbon, tie into a bow and adhere to corner of label with a glue dot.

Stamp three of the large leaves with Just Jade ink on scrap piece of Just Jade cardstock. Die cut with coordinating leaf die.
Cut a 12″ length of Just Jade ribbon and make a loop. Adhere on angle to the DSP. Adhere leaves and then adhere sunflower.
Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″, stamp greeting and adhere to inside of card. I used one of the greetings from the So Sentimental stamp set.
Hello! Today’s card features the Gathered Together bundle in the August-December Mini Catalog. I was so happy to see that this bundle, which was in the 2019 holiday catalog, was brought back as a returning favorite! I went back to a card I created last year for Kylie Bertucci’s monthly blog hop because I love the layout. I changed up this year’s card by using the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper; one of the dies from the Autumn Essentials Dies, a new set in the Mini Catalog; and Cinnamon Cider cardstock, which is one of the new InColors. You can see my original card in this blog post.
I recently participated in a group of 82 Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world that contributed amazing projects to a MEGA tutorial bundle using autumn-themed products from the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog and decided to make this card for the tutorial. These projects are exclusive and will not be publicly posted online. Each project includes full color photos, step-by-step instructions, measurements in both metric and imperial, and supply lists. There are three ways to get this awesome tutorial bundle:
If you placed an order with me from January through August you should have received it from me for FREE in a separate message I sent out recently.
If you place an order with me from September until the end of December 2020 either in my online store or by having me place an order for you, you will receive it for FREE once the order has been placed.
If you’d like to purchase the tutorial it is available for $21. Please contact me at rhondastamps@verizon.net and I will send you an invoice for payment.
Since I’m unable to post a picture of the card in the tutorial I made another card and changed up the paper and some of the colors.
Here is how I made the card:
Card base: Cajun Craze cardstock cut at 4 1/2″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card base.
Emboss a piece of Copper Foil with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder and then die cut using largest circle in the Layering Circles Dies. Adhere to card.
Stamp large leaf image from the Gathered Leaves stamp set on scrap pieces of Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze cardstock with Versamark ink. Sprinkle gold embossing powder over each leaf and heat emboss. Use the largest leaf in the Gathered Leaves Dies to cut the embossed leaves.
Use the next-to largest and smallest leaf dies in the Gathered Leaves Dies to cut one Crushed Curry and One Cajun Craze leaf in each size.
Accent the veins in the leaves by adding touches of Early Espresso ink on the Cajun Craze leaves and Soft Suede ink on the Crushed Curry leaves with sponge daubers.
Add some glimmer by spritzing some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint over the leaves. Add a few drops of the paint into a Stampin’ Spritzer and then fill the spritzer with 70% Rubbing Alcohol and shake to mix it together before spritzing. Let dry before adding to card.
Die cut one each of the long, curved leaf dies from the Autumn Essentials Dies from scrap piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock.
Start building the collage. First, adhere the long Cinnamon Cider leaves leaves as pictured. Use multipurpose liquid glue on the stems but keep the leaves free of glue to give a bit of dimension at the top of the card. Next, adhere the large Cajun Craze leaf. This serves as the base for adding the rest of the leaves.
Adhere the smaller Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry leaves, overlapping them, to the right side of the large Cajun Craze leaf. Adhere the larger Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry leaves on the left side, again overlapping them.
Adhere the large Cinnamon Cider leaf with Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the collage. Cut a length of Braided Linen Trim and tie in a small bow. Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
For inside of card cut piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp sentiment with Cajun Craze ink. Stamp wheat sheaf image in lower left corner with Cinnamon Cider ink.
