Happy Scenes 3 x 3's

I made some little notecards using the Happy Scenes stamp set. I love little 3 x 3 cards. You know, Stampin' Up! sells the envelopes that fit the mini cards. They are perfect to add to your gift bags or wrapped presents. Or to drop into a Stampin' Up! bag to says thanks!


They all were stamped with Happy Scenes but the "thank you and very merry" came from a retired set, Short and Sweet.
The colored cardstock is cut 3" x 6" and scored (or folded) at 3". The white cardstock is cut 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" for the outside and inside of the card. And that's it!

Spooky from Among the Branches

This was my Friday card for the nursing home last week. It was October and we are going to have a month long Halloween celebration for our card making.  I used the spooky stamp from the Among the Branches stamp set. The ghost DSP is from the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper. The Spider Web Doilies are a must have if you are making Halloween cards this year! Put them all together and you've got a really cute card. The residents loved it!

Cardstock - Tangelo Twist, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Happy Haunting DSP
Ink - Tangelo Twist, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Spider Web Doilies (cut in 1/2), 2 " circle punch, Big Shot, Circles Framelits dies
