Very Simply Susan

Here’s another one of the darling Trick or Tweet animals.  This time is is a perfect little cat “disguised” as a mummy!  Complete with a spider hanging from his tail, this ragamuffin little guy is too cute for sure!

The shouts pattern from the Toil & Trouble FSP made the most sense to me to use this this stamp.  And up course, I had to add one of the Spider Trinkets to the card. Its anchored to the card using the so, so beautiful Black Glittered Organdy ribbon from the Toil & Trouble Suite in the holiday Catalog.  This ribbon is so gorgeous. Perfect for “glammin up” your holiday cards, treats and decor.

The characters from Trick or Tweet are just too cute and this little tweety bird is my favorite.  I absolutely had to make him yellow, but he could be any color!  I sat down the other day with this set and had fun making cards with each of the characters in the set. You’ll see them over the next week or so.

What inspired this card is how tiny the bird is and I thought he needed to look “scaredy” so I put him against a dark night sky with a yellow moon and bats flying! The Spooky Sweets set was perfect for this and the Twinkle Builder Punch made a great night sky when punched and layered on the Pineapple Punch.

New Stamparatus Accessories

This is the first card made with the Pleasant Pheasants set. This was my favorite of all the Harvest, Thanksgiving sets this year.  It has a classic simplicity to it. And the set is great for cards, place settings, decor.

I used Festive Farmhouse for the background plaid. But the stripes were not Cajun Craze!  They are actually Cherry Cobbler. But I thought this paper was so  perfect for the design I had in mind that I drew over each Cherry Cobbler line with a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write marker to make the paper fit the color story I wanted!

I stuck to a really simple color story of Cajun Craze, Gray Granite and Basic Gray.  The Pheasants image was stamped on a piece of the Festive Farmhouse DSP so I would have a “wood look’ background.  And the Braided Linen Trim works really well with shades of gray.  All in all, one of my favorite cards this year!

A neat thing about the Pleasant Pheasants Stamp set is that it is available in a”You Can Make It” set.  These are sets which include the stamp set and ALL of the materials to make the cards pictured in the catalog.

Always look for the “You Can Make It Logo” to find these complete kits in the catalog.
