September Stampin Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

                              

I share my passion for stamps, ink & paper with a special flock of ladies called the "Stampin' Stray Ducklings". Whenever we're together, feathers fly because of all the fun we have! Today, my feathered (or notsomuch! LOL) friends & I are featuring Fall or Halloween projects. I chose Fall. I love the pumpkins in the Pretty Pumpkins bundle and when they're paired with our Brushed Metallic and Gold Specialty paper, it makes them even prettier! 
Nancy Legate is the one who came up with measurements for this fun card. There are lots of tutorials out there for this fun fold, but none that make an actual A2 card. Nancy did it! You can find her tutorial through pictures and written instructions HERE. She led our whole group via zoom. She has the patience of a saint! LOL
It's such a fun surprise when you pull the tab and a panel comes out both sides! :) 

I placed the top pumpkin stamp on an acrylic block and tapped it on a Pale Papaya ink pad. Then I took my Stampin' Write markers and colored the bigger leaves on it in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Crumb Cake. I colored right over the top of the Pale Papaya ink before I laid the stamp down on the cardstock. I love the subtle look of the different colors.
The big pumpkin & one leaf are die cut from the copper paper in the Brushed Metallic paper pack. The other pumpkin & leaf were die cut from the Gold Specialty paper. So pretty! 
And see that black & white paper in the back? It's from the Pattern Party Host Pack. 
So.Much.Detail. on this fun card. 


And there you have it! Please make sure to check in with the rest of my duckling friends. We'd love to hear from you too, so don't be shy. Your supportive comments are welcomed and encouraged :) 

 Next up is Sheryl Diemer or you're welcome to waddle back to visit Sue Boerner


HAPPY WADDLING!!!

Fun on Thanksgiving & A Beautiful Double-Slider Poinsettia Card

 Hello Stampers! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had 2 days of celebrating. We drove to the QC with the Littles. We stopped at my dad's for a bit then went to hubby's sister's on Thursday. We ate too much delicious food and had fun playing games. Yesterday, their whole family came here and we went hiking then came back to our house and played more games. It's been a wonderful two days of fun and family! 

We are extremely blessed to have a gorgeous park so close to us- Starved Rock. It has an amazing history and beautiful rock formations. We are mostly blessed to have family that will make the drive to enjoy time with us. The kids grow up way too fast! I'm so happy that we get to be a big part of their lives 💖 


  Great memories that I'll cherish for the rest of my life 💖

Now onto the double slider card. The star of this show is not only the fun fold, but that felt poinsettia from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. The paper comes in a full 12x12 sheet. I just cut the poinsettia out to use on this card.  And look at that beautiful Balmy Blue Glimmer paper behind it. So pretty!

Pull the tab and there's a surprise message inside! Cool huh?! 
This card is so much fun to make. 
I learned the fold from Julie Davison and hope to make a video of it sometime in the future :) 
And of course it needed a panel on the back for writing. 

I hope you all are having a fun & festive holiday weekend and I hope you are able to get crafty! 

HAPPY STAMPING!
