Today's project is a fall-themed slim line card idea using the beautiful Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (English) [154065] from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.

It's paired with the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper [153520] from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. Don't you just love Cajun Craze for fall projects?  It's such a rich color and one that's used in my fall projects every year!

This slimline card is a bit different than others.  The length is a shorter than others that you may have seen.  You will get all the details after watching the video. And, there will be another video here on the blog this week for a coordinating envelope so be sure to check back.

Let's take a look at the how-to that was originally posted for my Craft and Chat session on Facebook.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Base is Cajun Craze 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119684] cut at 7-1/2 x 7 and scored at 3-1/2.
• Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [101650]: Two pieces are cut 3-1/4 x 7-1/4.  You will also need scrap for stamping and fussy cutting.
• Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper [153520] is cut 3 x 7 for outside layer and 1 x 3 for inside of card.
• You will need a small piece (approx 2 x 4) of Copper Foil Sheets [142020] to die cut the stems.

Today's fun fold/diamond fold card was inspired by this Toy Story themed dress that I made for our granddaughter, Mia.  The photo above is from her trip to Disney in March 2020...pre-pandemic.  With wanting to mimic the cow-hide print of the dress, I decided to make my own patterned paper as shown below.

Basic Black Combo Pack Stampin' Blends [147942]were used to create the abstract pattern for the cow-hide pieces. 

Three pieces of the Whisper White  Cardstock [100730] were created with this pattern.  Measurements for all cuts and scores are listed below.

Here's the finished card.  The horse (which I hope somewhat resembles Woody's horse, Bullseye) was stamped and die cut using the Hippo Happiness Bundle (English) [154080].

Here are the details for this card so you can make your own. Any Toy Story fans out there?

• Bumblebee 8-1/2X11 Cardstock [153077] is cut 10-1/2 x 5-1/2 and scored on the long side 2 ,4, 4-1/4, 6-1/4, 8-1/4, and 8-1/2.
• Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100730] is cut 1-3/4 x 5-1/4...you will need 4 pieces with 3 pieces with the cow-hide print.  The 4th piece is to write your message and sign the card.
• Pacific Point 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [111350] is cut 1-7/8 x 5-3/8 (4 pieces) to back your Whisper White panel pieces.
• Whale Of A Time 6" X 6"  Designer Series Paper [152460] is cut 3 x 3 in the Pacific Point print to die cut the smaller label.
• 2020–2022 In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [153070] is cut 4 x 4 in a Bumblebee print to die cut the larger label.

You can see a video for another card with this diamond fold HERE.

- Cut another piece of the same print to 3-1/4 x 8-1/2.  Score at 2" and 6-1/2".
- You will need another small piece of Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper [153517] and Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100730] for punching.

Create some beautiful projects for the 2020 Christmas season with the For Unto Us stamp set!

Let your faith be bigger than your fear...a statement so fitting for these times. 

This sentiment is one from the Ridiculously Awesome Cling Stamp Set [152512] from Stampin' Up! and is highlighted by the beautiful Rainbow Glimmer Paper [153056].  And, who remembers this technique?  It's so much fun and super easy!  The scrappy scrip technique is a great way to get a very "stand out" background. See more samples and the video tutorial HERE.

Here are the measurements for this card:

• Basic Black Cardstock [121045] is cut 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 for base and 4 x 5-1/4 to adhere the strips.  You will need another piece to die cut the piece for the sentiment (approximately 4 x 4)
• Rainbow Glimmer Paper [153056] is cut 4 x 5-1/4 and cut into strips as seen in this video.
• Tie the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon [151326] around the strip layer.

Give this technique a try with this beautiful glimmer paper.  Here are the supplies you will need.

It's Week 9 of my 2020 Stampin' Up! Halloween Projects and this time we are continuing this cute cup project.  (In case you missed the projects and video from earlier, you can see it here!)

In this video, you will see me cover the entire cup with some beautiful designer paper to make a fun Halloween treat holder.   Fill with candy, a gift card, or maybe even a little pair of socks!

Here's the video how-to so that you can make your own.

Lisa's Inkings:

• In the video, I recommended a 6 x 12 piece of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper [153520].  To be safe, I would go at least 8 x 12.
• Save your template. You know you'll want to make a holiday version!
• Be sure to use your Bone Folder [102300] to curve your paper pieces before adhering them.
• Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] worked best for this project.

Today's project and video tutorial is a DIY gift idea using the Warm Hugs Bundle (English) [155145] from Stampin' Up!  The video is a recording of a recent Facebook Live  and you'll see how my mindset went from shying away from this bundle to "I gotta have it!"

Let's take a look at the video and you'll see!

It's this Saturday... World Card Making Day!

Celebrate with me on Ink and Inspirations with Lisa Brown on Facebook!

There will be a LIVE event beginning at 10 AM Eastern, 9 AM Central, 8 AM Mountain, 7 AM Pacific Time HERE  with card making demonstrations and a chance to win door prizes!

***And, it's my 14th Stampin' Up! Anniversary this month and I am having a special giveaway drawing for those with qualifying orders! 

Each year, I enjoy making some fun Halloween decor for my crafting studio and home. 

For 2020, the banner above was made with the Have A Hoot Bundle (English) [155208].

The Halloween decor hat above was a fun kit!  This one sits on a little table to greet visitors to my studio.

The vertical banner above was made with the Spooky Bingo Bits set from years ago.  Do you remember that Stampin' Up! set from 2012?

This fun wreath made from a kit is missing a few elements but I still enjoy displaying it with the sparkly web and beaded spider.

Here's a another completed kit that was a favorite.  The sectioned frame is awesome and it sits on a vintage sewing machine along with other fun, spooky elements just inside the front door of the cabin.

The black covering is just a piece of fabric that's folded and draped over top of the sewing machine to add to the Halloween ambiance.

The framed piece above was created in our former digital program, My Digital Studio, circa 2013. I still love it and that frame is just perfect.

Here's another framed piece that was a panel in some Halloween themed designer paper one year in the past. A black frame from Wal-Mart was just the right fit.  The designer paper medallion was strategically hot glued to cover a phrase that was too ghoulish for my taste!

Here's another circle banner made with some stamped images, medallions, and fussy cut images from designer series paper.

The SPOOKY banner above is one of my favorites!  Love the color combo and those big die cut letters!

Do you create any home decor pieces with your paper crafting supplies?  I hope you enjoyed this look at some of my creations of Stampin' Up! Halloween Decor through the years!
