Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Halloween.  I have to be honest, I procrastinated hard on this project. I procrastinated so much, I forgot to order a Halloween Set! I had to stretch my creativity in order to figure out how I was going to still participate in the hop this month. I thought about all things Halloweenie and looked at the sets I do have and decided on a spooky house! The phrase "Welcome Back," kept creeping into my head and that's when I was 100% certain I could create a spooky house. I luckily had just ordered the "Warm Welcome," Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! for a different project I'm working on, which was perfect.  The first thing I noticed on the set was the sleeve on the person holding the flowers. Who else could this be, besides Freddy Krueger? It was so perfect! And of course he is holding blood red flowers to welcome you home!  In sticking with this theme, of course I also had to reach out to my sister to tell me the house address for "Nightmare on Elm Street." I thought it was even spookier if it looked like one of the numbers was falling off the house. Can you hear it moving in the wind? The Metallic Mesh Ribbon was a perfect material to resemble spider webs.

 Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects.

Happy crafting! This month’s theme is New Catalog.  This month I decided to step-out of my comfort zone and create a project using the flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP . I don't usually create with many flowers, but I completely fell in-love with this paper. I loved all the colors on each page. I knew I wanted to create a rainbow card using the flowers. I tried creating a standard card size, but it was too small. Thankfully I had slimline cards, which were the perfect size. I really wanted each flower to pop, so I popped each one up with dimensionals. Steps to Create:
  
As you may know, I live in NM. We have not had much rain this year so we have not seen as many flowers blossoming yet. Hopefully we receive less wind and more rain soon! Until then, here is a beautiful spring card to enjoy!
Materials Needed:
-Pale Papaya Card Base (8-1/2"x11" scored at 4-1/4")
-Very Vanilla Card Front (5-3/8"x4-1/8") -Very Vanilla Insert (5-1/4"x4") -Envelope Stamped -Flower DSP x3 (3-1/2"x1-1/4") -Pale Papaya Gingham (4"x2") -Envelope Flap (5-3/4"x2-1/4") -Flower DSP (3-1/2" x 1") -Pale Papaya Gingham (2"x1") -Very Vanilla Label stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink -Die cut flower -Pale Papaya & White 1/2" Woven Ribbon -In Color Jewels

This month's theme is so meaningful for me as a teacher. I absolutely love when I receive a special card from a student and/or family. I have received the sweetest notes from previous students over the years. I took inspiration from letter boards that are still used as decor in classrooms. I used a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and scored it every 1/8" to create the letter board effect.
Materials Needed:
-Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
-Basic Black Card Base (8-1/2"x11") -Bloom Where You're Planted Brick Layer (5-3/8"x4-1/8") -Simply Elegant Layer (4-7/8"x3-5/8") -Basic White Insert (5-1/4"x4") -Insert Decor (5-1/4"x3/4") -Envelope Decor (5-3/4"x2-1/4") -Bloom Where You're Planted Fussy Cut Plant -Playful Alphabet Dies Letters (YOU ARE THE BEST) -Stitched Rectangle Frame (3"x4-1/4") -Basic Black Letter Board (3"x4-1/4" scored at every 1/8") -Resin Stars Embellishments

I am still working on my goal of using up as much product as I can before it retires. I am in a black and white mood still so I designed this cute card with just a pop of color on this cute puffin and on the birthday cake. This playful puffin is just so adorable!
Materials Needed:
-Party Puffin Stamp Set
-Tuxedo Black Memento Ink -Tasteful Labels Dies -Pattern Party DSP -Black Cardstock Card base (8-1/2"x11" scored at 4-1/4") -DSP Strips (5-3/8"x1") -White Cardstock Card Insert (5-1/4"x4") -DSP Insert Decor (1"x1-2/8") -Basic Black Label -Basic White Label stamped -Party Puffin & Cake stamped, colored, and fussy cut -Basic White Envelope Stamped -Envelope Flap (5-3/4"x2-1/4") -Blends -Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack
This card was a total accident. I placed all my retiring products on a long table and the vellum, DSP, and gold leaves were next to each other. I loved how the vellum layered on the black and white pieces and had to try and design with them. I didn't like it as much on the line pattern pages, but the flower one (shown here) looked amazing! I loved the colors together but wanted a little more pop, so I decided to add a layer of gold behind the DSP.
Materials Needed:

Who doesn't love cookies? They are a perfect sweet treat after a long day or week of adulting! Of course, we also need a cup (or bowl) of milk for dipping. I used the glass from the Whiskey Business stamp set. I used a Stampin' Write marker around the edges to create a milk filled glass.

Looking for an old fashioned birthday card? Look no further, the Neutral 6"x6" DSP was the perfect match to the Whiskey Business Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! Originally I used a plain Basic White Label, but decided I wanted to make it look worn down like it had aged. I used a blending brush and Soft Suede to make it match the theme of the card. I love how it turned out.
