New (photo video): Howl-o-ween Treat card

So here is my first attempt at making a video and I have found some mistakes that will be rectified. The first correction is the blog address, which is www.creativemeasuresbytiffany.blogspot.com.

Stampin' Up Howl-o-ween card

Today's project started in one direction and changed course pretty quickly. I love this set from the Holiday catalog and the best part is that there's a framelit for all of the images except the sentiment. Colors used on the sentiment are Blackberry Bliss and Tangelo Twist and the spider was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The Happy Hauntings DSP was cut and adhered to the bottom of the Basic Black card stock and then the owl was stamped in Early Espresso and die cut with the matching framelit and popped up with dimensionals. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog Additional supplies: ATG tape runner. A photo video tutorial will be posted for this card tomorrow on this blog. I hope you have enjoyed today's post and will check back often for more inspiration.

Time to chill using Stampin' Up's Snow Place

In just a few short hours, Summer will be over and fall will be moving in. Today's project will help with the change of season and help you just take time to chill. The color scheme is very clean starting with the Whisper White card base that was run through the Decorative Dots embossing folder. The feel of chill is Pool party ink, which was used to match the DSP. The pop of color on the Penguin's beak and feet is Tangelo Twist.

Crafting Saturday

Today was a great day of stamping and creating. My sister-in-law and I got together to come up with a Christmas card for this year and she did a bang up job creating a sample.

Mary's sample card First up is Mary's version of what we created today. I love the colors used and the pretty bow above the mantel. Now take a look at the card I created.

Holiday Home

Saw a similar card on Crafter's Companion UK site and just had to make a version of my own. I didn't put a sentiment as yet because I think it will take away from the design of the card.

Stampin' Up- Reason for the Season

This series will be posted on Wednesday but not sure how long it will run. Today I have a Christmas card project using some of the products from the New Holiday catalog that went live yesterday. Take a look at the projects below and let me know what you think. For the first card I started with stamping the image on a piece of Whisper White card stock using Mossy Meadow ink and then I colored the image using a water brush and the ink colors Cucumber Crush and Real Red. I stamped the sentiment in stamped-off Mossy Meadow ink to the right of the image. Next, I adhered a piece of DSP to the bottom portion of the Whisper White panel and inked the edges in Mossy Meadow. What do you think? Now take a look at the Stepped Up version. On this card I heat-embossed the image wit
