ICS BLOG HOP-MY FAVORITE PUNCH-SCOTTIE DOG!

Happy fall! Here on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop this month we are looking at our favorite punches! They can be quick and easy, and there are a ton of great ones from which to choose! So much fun to choose!

Here's my card:

So the punch I'm featuring this month is the Scottie Punch! This one is near & dear to my heart as my son's name is Scott, and as his mom I've always called him Scottie! We aren't scottie collectors per se, but this one is so darn cute!!! lol It coordinates with the Christmas Scottie stamp set-yup-it'll be my Christmas card set this year!! lol And even best it comes as a bundle in the                               July-December 2022 Mini Catalog so you save 10%! A bit early for Christmas I know, but I just couldn't wait to play with him!!! lol

So here I did a simple book bind fun fold card!  Now the DSP we need to discuss!!! So it's from the Celebrate Everything DSP pack that is available only to our hostesses!!! This one is in the same catalog as the Scotties!! On your way towards this Hostess set!  There are 48 sheets of amazing different designs!!! We sometimes forget about these with all the excitement of the new seasonal DSP packs! But I love the idea of red/white/black!!! And the print is not overwhelming for this card!

It's also a peek-a-boo card-at least that's what I call it! lol The                   Layering Circle Dies work perfectly for this little guy! He "peeks" out when the card is closed & when opened he's still there! lol

Other materials used on the car are the Deckled Rectangles, Gingham Ribbon & the oh-so-fun-and-fabulous Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (don't overlook these!!! Praying for so many more colors in the future!!!)

Happy Stampin'!

PLUNGING-ROUND AND ROUND SHE GOES!!!!!

So I am lucky enough to be a part of an AMAZING design team over at 

The Paper Plunge!! 

This is a challenge site where you all can participate!!! Just simply create a project that goes with the challenge & upload your picture!!! Last week was our first week, and what an FANTASTIC response we had!!!! 

We have designers from all over the US & Canada-and these girls are GOOD!!! Great ideas & inspiration! Please be sure to join us & check it out!!!  I'm so excited to post for the first time as a designer! I missed last week as I was still in Germany!! But I'm back & ready to go!!!!!

So this week's challenge is using circles!!! We see them everywhere! We use them all the time! Here's what I came up with:

Ok, so I'm still in Germany Oktoberfest mode!!! lol  When I thought circles I thought bubbles, and after drinking the 1 liter mugs of Oktoberfest beer this is what kept coming to mind! It's just a fun, simple little treat for someone!

There's not a lot of stamping on this card! Just fun!  The Gold Glitter Paper works great for the mug! I just cut a rectangle & rounded the bottom with an Oval Framelit!.  The handle is 2 Circle Framelits! Easy peasy!!! 

Kinda tough to tell in the pic, but I scored the Glitter Paper to look like the "spines" in a beer mug. It adds a little depth to the card!

The bubbles are all Circle Punches with our amazing Vellum cardstock! 

Add a little Dazzling Details for that extra "bling" & it's some fun suds!!!!

The sentiment is simply A Round Array!  Owning up to some retired ribbon! It was the only Real Red I had hanging around! lol

So hope you enjoyed this little touch of Oktoberfest!  Be sure to stop over at The Paper Plunge & check it out! Maybe even upload your photo!!! Come on! Get circlin'!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!
