Longmont Senior Center - October 2025

The Creative Card Making stampers will gather again on October 20, 2025. October brings both a Christmas card and a Halloween card! Here are the cards the stampers will be making at my table:

The Halloween card has a card base of basic black (Neenah) with a layer of Orange Zest (Papertrey). The image on the front is from a digital collection of haunted house journal pages that I found on Etsy. The inside features either "Happy Halloween" or "Trick or Treat" depending on which the stamper selects.

The Christmas cardbase is Pine Feather (Papertrey) with a layer of Pure Poppy (Papertrey) along with a print from a digital collection of Christmas papers that I got from Etsy. The snowflake is from the Delicate Pine dies from Stampin' Up! There will be a choice of sentiments both for the front and for the inside.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!

Ongoing Play with new toys

I have continued to play with new toys that came into the Craft Cave! Here are some examples:

The dies, stencils and stamps are from Waffle Flower and I have really been enjoying my time playing with these! The top card utilzes the stencil and stamp set along with the dies and uses a die from Spellbinders called Sunflower Serenade as an embellishment. The next two are just a reverse color scheme utilizing the die sets and some designer series paper from Stampin' Up! called Florals in Bloom. Card stock is Fresh Freesia from Stampin' Up! and Pine Feather from Papertrey. I really like these stamps/dies/stencils from Waffle Flower and am thinking of how they might get used at an upcoming camp!

Stamp Camp North - October 2025

Stamp Camp North is coming right up and in addition, we have a craft sale! There will be lots of fun things to shop for including designer series paper, stamps and lots of fun crafy things! See flyer below for details!

This is the card the campers will be making at my table:

The card base is Dark Chocolate (Papertrey) along with a layer of Old Olive (Stampin' Up!). There are two pieces of dsp from the Autumn Toile designer series paper pack. These are pieced with a strip of Dark Chocolate and then topped by layers cut using the Color & Countour dies from Stampin' Up! in Old Olive (SU) and Vintage Cream (Papertrey) cardstock.The computer generated top die cut features a stamp from the Amber Autumn stamp set and the sentiment is computer generated. I scanned/colored/ rescanned then printed the graphics onto Vintage Cream cardstock (Papertrey) and cut them out using the dies. The inside contains the message "The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go" along with a graphic from my collection. The reverse side contains only the graphic so the campers can add their own sentiment.

Here is some more details about how you can join in the fun:

This is a very fun activity and I promise you will have a great deal of fun (and maybe pick up some crafty items to boot.)
