Today’s tutorial is a super easy but seriously cute Halloween card. It was created with a Basic Gray card base and some added layers of Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather cardstock. I used the Frightful Tag Dies as well as the Festive and Bright stamp set.
The Boo! was stamped in Memento Black and is from the Banner Year stamp set, which might be my all time favorite fall stamp set. I also used a few stamps from the Banner Year set on the inside. I hope this inspires you to create some spooky, but fun cards for this Halloween.
I don’t typically send a lot of Halloween cards, but the Frightful Tag dies are so stinkin’ cute! And while I really hate spiders, there is something adorable about this simple black spider web. Join me Wednesday for another Weekly Wednesday video and next week for another Make it Monday!

The weather here in St. Louis is finally starting to cool off and it is beginning to feel like Fall. Soon the trees will be turning a lovely color of yellow, red and orange.
In today’s card I tried to capture a bit of those Fall colors using with one of the tree stamps from the Beauty of Friendship bundle. I used Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. I hope this gets you in the mood for a bond fire and Smores.
I know Thanksgiving is a few months away, but I could not resist using the Happy Thanksgiving Dies from the Word Wishes Dies!

Hey friends, I am back with another Make It Monday tutorial and thrilled to be able to share this Sweet Halloween Treat box with you. It is great for celebrating any holiday with your co-workers, family and friends, but today I am focusing on Halloween.
The Stampin’ Up! star of the show is the very versatile Banner Year stamp set featured on page 95 in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. To create the sweet little tag, I used Tailor Made Tags and added the witches hat from Frightful Tag Dies! Enjoy!
I love the Cutest Halloween Bundle because it really is the cutest and if you pair it with the Frightful Tags Dies, it is a win, win! Here is the card I created for you today. I created the spooky night time look with a blending brush and some Memento Black ink. I just love these little dies. The ghost die is from the Festive and Bright Bundle! Have fun!
And here is a peek inside. I love these adorable owls! I am thinking Anniversary card! What do you think? I guess if you know someone who was married in the Fall, like maybe October 22nd! I may be bias but I do think Fall weddings are the best!

I know, I know, I have used this greeting twice in a row and have totally neglected the images from this bundle. Next week, I plan to showcase a card of two using images in Festive and Bright! Stay tuned…….

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving! On this day it is good to pause and thank the Lord for His abundant graces. We are certainly living in challenging times and no doubt things are very different this year from last and so I pray that you are staying healthy and that your day is filled with peace and happiness. I thought I would take this opportunity to make one more fall card, so here it is…..Happy Thanksgiving!
I started with a Bumblebee card base and added top layer of Very Vanilla. embossed with the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder and a strip of the Plaid Tidings to the bottom, leaving a small gap for the Bumblebee to show through.. The leaves on the wreath are punched from Bumblebee, Sahara Sand and Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the sprig punch.
This card features the Banner Year set and I admit I have not been very good at reaching for this set and I don’t know why because it is so versatile. The squirrel is so cute stamped in the Cinnamon Cider. I added him to the banner and stamped the greeting in Memento Black. I added some few pumpkins in Sahara Sand and Pumpkin Pie and yes, I had to fussy cut them, but it was pretty easy. The stems of the pumpkins are stamped with the new In-Color, Just Jade. I put rhinestones on some of the pumpkins and on the right side of the wreath and to finish is off, I added a small linen bow.
I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. As always as we are counting our blessings let us remember those who are hungry and of’ course those who struggle to find shelter. May God continue to bless and care for us all! Thanks for stopping by and until next time be Blessed! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae
