Fall Bingo -- Holiday Cards

Last Saturday, I held my second Stampin' Up! Bingo Party. It was so much fun! For this time, I went with a fall theme even though it was over 100 degrees this past weekend. This week, I'll be sharing the projects I prepped and the make n takes from the party. 

Today's post is all about the make n takes I created featuring Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas items from the Holiday Catalog. I gave my ladies a choice for their goody bags. Some went with a combo of two holidays and some stuck with one holiday. From there, I created a few examples. The two designs could be switched to the other holidays by just switching out the paper, sentiments, and accessories. Easy Peasy! The first card is simple but oh so cute! I embossed my layer of Whisper White and layered on some DSP and a cute coffee cup. For the final touch, I added a cute felt shape.

  • Stamps: Merry Cafe
  • Inks: Garden Green; Real Red
  • Cardstock: Quilted Christmas DSP; Garden Green; Whisper White; Crumb Cake
  • Accessories: Stitched Felt Embellishments
  • Tools: Polka Dot Embossing Folder; Coffee Cups Framelits

For my second card, I switched out the theme to Thanksgiving I added some stamped leaves using tone on tone stamping to play off the DSP. From there I created another cute coffee cup and finished off my card with some natural elements.

  • Stamps: Merry Cafe
  • Inks: Cajun Craze
  • Cardstock: Painted Autumn DSP; Cajun Craze; Very Vanilla

And here are all the wonderful cards the ladies created with their supplies. Such different cards here! Love it!
