This may be one of the most underestimated bundles offered in the Holiday Catalog.  It is very simple at first glance but the hidden bonus is that it coordinates with the Painted Glass Bundle from the Annual Catalog.    When I first saw this set,  I couldn’t help but imagine in my mind’s eye,  a great cathedral rose window of brilliant glass as the background with beams of golden light streaming down.  Since the Graceful Glass vellum was offered as part of this suite  —  I couldn’t resist putting together what I think is a classic Christmas card.

I started by taking some very neutral colors (Night of Navy, Smoky Slate) as a background for the stained glass effect I wanted to achieve.   Using the GRACEFUL GLASS Vellum and colored with the Stampin’ Blends markers to create a “stained glass” effect.  I cut a “window” with the Layering Squares framelits.  The structures that hold stained glass are called “cames” and are made of lead or copper.  On the DSP the cames are the black outlines.  The FRAMELITS used frame the DSP is cut out of Basic Black card stock.   Gold thread and a star from the Star of Light framelits in Gold FOIL make the perfect embellishments.

Here are some Batty TREAT projects that I put together for my October Workshop.

The card below was CASed from the talented Mary Fish; I loved the fresh take on the batty images with the vibrant colors using the SPOOKY SWEET Bundle.  The card is easy to make and with the help of the BAT PUNCH to make colorful bats; you can’t help but have extras to make a few coordinating tags.  Embellish with Black Rhinestones (use CLEAR Rhinestones and color with BLACK Stampin’ Blend marker).

But I couldn’t stop there!

So I punched a piece of WINDOW SHEET with the BAT PUNCH to create a stencil that I used with White SHIMMER Embossing Paste to stencil BATs on Black card stock layered on Batty DSP and Pumpkin Pie Card Stock. So easy to make.

It isn’t hard to love the same bright colors from the Toil and Trouble DSP to pull out your GIFT BAG PUNCH BOARD and make some TREAT BAGS that look just GORGEOUS with the GLITTERED Organza Ribbon.  I am going to have to stock up on this ribbon because it is so pretty!

These projects were a pleasure to put together and I hope to inspire my workshop and get everyone’s creative “Halloween” mojo flowing!!!

The Many Blessings Stamp Set has become a favorite.  Yes, I may live in Florida, but the fall season has always been a favorite time of year.  Having spent my middle school and high school years in the mid-west, and then living a year in the northeast while I was in the Navy; it doesn’t take much to remind me of the colors, textures, aromas, and flavors.   To that,  I love the images created by SU and inspired by Ruth Snyder (Million Dollar Sales Achiever).  You know this set will be around for a while and is a great value since it offers so many options over the year.  Since my favorite fall image has always been a pumpkin patch or cornucopia brimming with the fall harvest; I had to stamp and color the Pumpkin image!

This is an easy project; especially if you enjoy coloring.  Needless to say, I just love to “zone out” and color for hours.  Coloring with Stamping Blends has become a stress reducer after a long day at the office!   With the light/dark pens….you really can’t go wrong!  So, besides demonstrating how easy it is to color these great images; I want to introduce you the joys of a BROTHER Scan N Cut machine.  It is an investment…I have owned mine for nearly 3 years and I use it instead of fussy cutting images that don’t come with framelits.  I also like to produce enough to create plenty of cards and tags.   Certainly, let me know if you are interested in learning more and I can provide some tips.

Here are all the products and dimensions used to make three projects and a LINK to the Video Tutorial.  Please leave a comment!  Thanks for stopping by!
