Stamp It Group Halloween & Fall Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to the Stamp It Group Halloween and Fall Blog Hop!! My name is Mikki and I am super excited to have you all here today!

Please leave a comment below in the comment section to have your name entered into this months giveaway of a Birthday Card Kit!

Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of Halloween 🎃. I would much rather be setting up my Christmas Tree than watching anything spooky. Now my kids and sister LOVE Halloween. I’m not sure where I went wrong with them 😂 

We had a choice of doing Fall theme for this hop but I decided to take myself out of my comfort zone and try to use what I had on hand to create a spooky Halloween Card. I think I succeeded! Boy does this card have a cool feature to it too! 

Lets dive right into it!!

You can see from the photo that we are using 1 retired product. The Wicked Dies from I believe 2020. I only have a handful of Halloween anything and this die just happens to be one I purchased for my sisters Hallowedding. You can easily replace the sentiment “Wicked” with anything you want. 

Paper Dimensions are pretty basic, nothing fancy. 

Basic Black Cardstock base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”

Coastal Cabana Cardstock : 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”

Basic Black Cardstock: 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”

Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4”

You will also need a scrap piece of White Cardstock for the moon.  I do have a full list of products used below with links to them in my store. 

This card has a lot of little details but stay with me. It will be worth it. I promise! Normally I would a printable PDF for you but due to time constraints and family obligations I have not created one yet. I can most definitely get one up later on if you all want it to refer to later!!

Step by Step on how I created this beauty: 

I want to add a quick note here about the ink choices. You have to use a StazOn or alcohol based ink for the black color. If you do not, when you use the regular colors such as the Coastal Cabana, the black will just transfer into the brush and discolor everything!

Cut our the Aspen Tree Die onto the 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” Basic Black piece. Someone forgot to photograph the cutting process, but we’re gonna skip over those facts 🤣 I would also advise cutting 2 of these. You’re gonna need a mask later on. 

For the sentiment, I cut out the Wicked die on the 6” x 6” Glow In the Dark Specialty paper that is in our current Mini Catalog. 

I placed it onto the card front with dimensionals to add a little pop to it. 

For the final reveal!!! Does it glow??

Of course it glows in the dark on a Wicked Spooky Night!!!

Now I went bonkers with the way this turned out and created 3 different cards in 3 different colors because why not make more experiments! **Insert Stitch evil laugh here**

I surprised myself and am very pleased that the experiments where successfully brought to life!!

These were a lot of fun to make!

Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist
Are the sooOOoo Cool or what??!!!!

While editing the photos, my brain went “WAAIIT… Can the moon glow too?” Well, once the idea was in my head of course I had to try it!!

The moon can definitely GLOW bright on a “Wicked” night! Use StazOn for the moon stamp on the Glow in the Dark Paper to prevent smudges!

I hope this crazy adventure of mine has helped inspire you! I have learned that the power of creativity is a beautiful thing! It allows you to take what you have and create something unique and totally different!!

Fall blog hop

Welcome to Stamp It Group Fall Blog Hop!

Thank you for joining me today as we begin to welcome Fall! I am excited to have you here!

My name is Mikki Winebrenner and today I have a fun and simple fall themed card for you using Stampin Up!  Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. These masks will make their big debut September 6th, 2023 in the new Mini Catalog. 

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. When I think fall one thing that comes to mind is our big Sunflower Festival. I love walking through the sunflower fields and seeing them in full bloom. They are just absolutely gorgeous!

In the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks there is a 4 part sunflower that I thought would be perfect not only for the sunflower card but as a way for you to see these masks in action! 

I will cover the process of how I used the masks for this card but the rest of the details on putting the card together can be found in the full printable PDF available for your use at a later date as well as a full product list with links below.

To begin with the card you will need Basic White Cardstock and Daffodil Delight Cardstock.

Cutting & Scoring:

Basic White 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock : 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”

Basic White 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock : 4” x 5-1/4”

Daffodil Delight  8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 4-1/8” x 5-3/8” and 4” x 2”

After cutting out the sentiment and attaching the card front together we are done!

A quick tip on the masks, especially this set of 4 with the sunflowers. There is a notch in the upper left hand corner for you to mark and be able to line up the layers flawlessly. They’re also numbered which was brilliant! Thank You concept artists for that little detail!

The photo above is a sample I did when playing  around to see how the layout worked. The beautiful thing here is you can move those masks around on your paper to create different designs each time. This was how I created that background paper as well as the inside of the card. 

I hope this card inspires you for not only a fall card idea. Below is the full PDF download for you to check out any time.

My name is Mikki Winebrenner and today I have a fun and simple Holiday card for you using Stampin Up Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. 

I love Christmas, it’s by far my favorite time of the year. I must ask one question… Can I put my decorations out now??

For our card today I wanted to keep things as simple as possible. Simple and elegant to offset that sudden realization that Christmas is only 6 months away!

Summer Fun Blog Hop

Welcome to Stamp It Group Summer Fun Blog Hop!

I’m super excited to have you all here on my new blog! Today I have a very fun and very summery card for you using Stampin’ Up!’s Playing in the Rain Stamp Set. 

What says summer more than a delicious piece of ice cold watermelon? This is a hot commodity at my house especially on these hot summer days and definitely popular during our 4th of July festivities! My kids, myself, and even my dogs love to enjoy a piece of this deliciousness all summer long!

This was my inspiration for this card and as we do not technically have any watermelon type sets, I got creative. The seeds you see are actually rain drops from the Playing in the Rain Set!

Let me give you a little more detail on this card. There is a full PDF below for you to download with all the measurements and products used as wall as instructions for this card. 

And there you have it! I simple yet adorable Summer time card to share with your friends and loved ones!
