Today's cardmaking project is definitely for these birds on a branch colored with the beautiful alcohol markers from Stampin' Up!...our Stampin' Blends.

These little sweeties are from the Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set [149468] in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and it's so much fun coloring these little feathered friends in different colors.

Here's the quick video that will show the coloring process.  It won't take much of your time so give it a whirl!

Lisa's Inklings:

• The card base is Smoky Slate 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [131202] cut at 5-1/2 x 8-1/2.  You will also need the backing layer for the birds cut at 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 and a little piece for the sentiment cut at 1/2 x 1.
• The Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100730] for the stamped image is cut at 4 x 5-1/4.
• The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper [149592] is cut at 4 x 5-1/4.  (Notice the buds on this print are blue but I used pink for coloring the buds since I wanted the little birds to have a bit of blue.)

This type of coloring is so relaxing.  I hope you will give it a try.  If you'd like to know which colors to begin your collection, I have my suggestions HERE.

Thanks for tuning in for Week 2 of the 12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Halloween projects and I'll see you in the next post!

We took a fun "ride" yesterday afternoon on Facebook Live with the Stampin' Up! Ride With Me Bundle [151106].

This great bundle and it's versatile, too!  It's not only great for birthdays but also fall-themed and Christmas cards!  Here's a Christmas card sample from my Christmas in July series.

The birthday card above was simply stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends. You'll have to watch the video to see my reason for choosing this particular color.

The gift bag above shows an alternative use of the truck die and was inspired by a project in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

In the Facebook Live recording below, I mention a special guest that teams up with me in a recorded video of the making the 3D truck.  You will have to tune back in tomorrow to see that! 

Here's the recording for these two projects.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

 Let's start of the 12 Weeks of Halloween Projects for 2019 with this home décor banner made with Stampin' Up! supplies!

I love using this simple style banner for Halloween but I have made kinds of styles!  Here is a look at two from past years HERE and HERE!

This one comes to you early in the season so you can have it ready when it's time to decorate.

Let's take a look at the first in a series of Halloween projects for 2019.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Banner pieces are cut from Crumb cs and measure 4" x 5-1/2".  The banner end is hand-cut with Paper Snips as seen in the video.  You'll need about 1/2 sheet of cc to die cut the letters.
• Cajun Craze cs is cut 1" x 4" for strips along the top of the banner.  You'll need about 1/2 sheet of Cc to punch the Starbursts.
• You'll need about 1/2 sheet of Bb to punch the 2" circles.

Thanks for tuning in for Week 1 of the 12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Halloween projects and I'll see you in the next post!

Kids of all ages appreciate notes of encouragement and affirmation and this Stampin' Up! card idea made with the lovable Dino Days Bundle [151139].

In yesterday's post, I shared some ideas that are perfect for the littles.  Kids are so much fun to craft for and they love to craft, too!  With some help from you, they could assemble a card such as this one for someone special.

Here's a quick video with the how-to.  Take a look!

Lisa's Inklings:
