Welcome to the Pals October 2017 Blog Hop featuring some very “Wicked Folds”. Thank you so much for joining us today. Sit back and enjoy the view while the Stampin’ Pretty Pals treat you with their wickedly folded projects. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
I am thrilled to join this blog hop. And I adore different folds. So this was a perfect match. I used, what I call, a standing Z fold. Normally the Z is to the left, but with today’s version, it is at the top. However, the focal point is my blinged out cat! Isn’t she just the cutest? Even a cat needs her bling.
Spooky Cat Bundle, 146014
Everything I used is in the Spooky Cat Suite of products. The stamp set is so cute and covers a variety of card and gift needs. The cat punch is one I have wanted forever. I really hope it stays around after the catalog ends!! The DSP is the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, and the ribbon is Vintage Crochet Trim. It is so easy to work with.
I started with a Smoky Slate base card, folded in a Z fold, as my neutral instead of Very Vanilla. To emphasize the Cat’s eyes I heat embossed with Smoky Slate Embossing Powder. I used my super duper Paper Snips to cut out one of the hats from the DSP. And of course the hat needed bling to match the collar.
The supplies I used to day are all listed at the bottom of the post. You can click any item and be taken directly to my online store.

The card I designed for today is my first one with this super cute set from the Holiday Catalog called Hug In A Mug! Who would not love a Hug In A Mug? I adore that name. The set seems to be a little bit of a sleeper set possibly due to the Coffee Cafe in the Annual and then the seasonal coffee in the Holiday Catalogs. But this one is just really cute. I hope you will give it a look.
Hug In A Mug, 144933
This card is a CASE from one of the Make ‘n Takes we did at World Card Making Day. I loved the mug of steaming cocoa with the sentiment. I added the hearts to the Pool Party layer to go along with the sentiment also. Because of the quilt and the sentiment, I believe this card could be used for so many occasions. A hug and a quilt are just year round love!
I have paired the stamp set with the Quilted Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. This quilt pattern just emphasizes the Hug! At least that is what I think of when I see a hand quilted quilt. Also it brings back wonderful memories of my childhood!
These are the unlikely trio of colors I used for this card. I would have never added the Lemon Lime Twist to these other two. I did pull all three colors from the DSP. And since it works in the DSP, it must work here. I thought it would make the sentiment POP. I hope you agree…..otherwise you are probably thinking I have lost my mind ! LOL…
Remember that today is the last day for the World Card Making Day Sale!! It is also the last day to sign up for the October Paper Pumpkin….remember that October and November are coordinating this year. I cannot wait to see what they are!

Today I have a quick and easy Christmas card for you. Actually it is my swap card that I used at a World Card Making Day Event in Atlanta on Saturday. The event was hosted by my uplines, Brian King and Pam Morris. The event was awesome and I came home with lots of great ideas as well as 40 new cards that I swapped with other demonstrators. So here is the one I made.
Every Good Wish, 144865
I kept the card fairly simple due to making so many of one card. And since I love blue at Christmas, I made a blue and white card. The blue I used was Dapper Denim. The splatter is included in this cute set of Every Good Wish. I love the negative image of the major sentiments.
It is a little difficult to see in the photo, but I used the Silver Thread behind the raised sentiment. To adhere it I placed a strip of Fast Fuse tape under where I was going to place the sentiment. Then I just did figure eights with the silver thread. I then used Stampin’ Dimenionals to adhere the sentiment over the thread. So easy! And in person it really adds to the card. Of course I still added a few rhinestones for some more bling!!

Doesn’t this pretty much take the cake on simple and easy? I just could not cover up that beautiful snowflake. I wanted to add some ribbon, but there was no where to put it. So a large Rhinestone in the center and we are finished. I could see making a lot of those for Christmas and being finished early.
Sometimes plain and easy is great. I hope you will give that idea a chance. Thank you for visiting today! Have a great day!

The extra Host Rewards set for October is the one I have used today. The name is Merry Patterns. I am sure you have seen it on other blogs and Pinterest. I must say that it is a WOW! It is technically triple layer stamping, but it is the best Stampin’ Up! has ever had in that regard. Check this out….
Merry Patterns, 144973
For a smaller 4 X 4 card the simplicity makes the candles really pop. You could make several of these in a flash!
As you look as these super duper cute candles, you can see that some are in front and some behind. The stamps are the same way. You stamp the entire outline as one. Then you have a stamp that are the behind ones (in blue) and then the front ones, and another for the candle color fill. Oh my! And being photopolymer, it is so super easy to line it up. This is definitely a great set.
The colors I used are Smoky Slate Island Indigo and then the touch of Daffodil Delight. I love blue and silver for Christmas. Although I could see this in Fall colors as well.
I mentioned how easy it is to do the layers for the candles. I stamped them on Shimmery White just to give it a little sparkle. When I was finished layering the pieces to check out my idea, I thought it needed something else. But instead of going with an embossed background or DSP for the background, I decided to add the touch of ribbon to accent the flames of the candles. There isn’t really room to do the strip under the center piece. So I thought back to some old ideas and came up with just looping on the corners like old photo corner holders. (I’m showing my age there!!)
Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you like this card and will check out this set. It can be yours FREE with a $300.00 party. If you are interested please let me know. I would be excited to help you.
