Still learning how to use Blogger so bare with me.   But just want to remind everyone that until Oct 31, 2017 Stampin' Up is having special on selected DSP (Designer Series Paper).  Buy 3, get 1 free,  so now is the time to stock up.  There are selected Designer Series Paper but if you are like me you want all of them.

Update from Stampin’ Up!...
Timing of October’s paper pumpkin kit

As we previously announced, October’s Paper Pumpkin kit will be available for purchase on Monday, October 23. Due to the popularity of this kit, we anticipate them selling quickly; however, currently, about half of the available kits have not been built. The warehouse will build them on Monday, but to avoid availability issues, we will not make the kit available for purchase before 2:00 PM (MT) on Monday, October 23—ensuring all available kits are built and ready for purchase.

On Monday morning, when we have a better idea of the exact time the kits will be available, we’ll post another update.

If you are fan like many of us.  Please go to Paper Pumpkin sign up and I would really appreciate you choosing me as your demonstrator to sign under.   Remember with Paper Pumpkin this is a  monthly subscription that you have the ability to skip any time you need to, or cancel (but why when you can skip).   Only thing is you have to remember to stop before the 10th of each month.  If you sign up under me I will send you a reminder a two weeks before and 1 week before so you always know if you want to have fun in a box that month,  Plus if you are following my blog I will keep you updated.

Merry Patterns Candles

Playing with Merry Patterns stamp set the other day.  Then real life came to interrupt, don't you just love how when you are having so much fun it decides to interrupt.

Anyway, I did this yesterday made a hugh boo-boo on the sentiment and I had this little stiched shape that was to be for something else and used it to cover my boo-boo LOL

Yes I am telling on myself.  After spending all that time on the candles I was not letting that one go!

Whisper White Card Stock cut in half to 4 1/4 X 11

Score in the middle at 5 1/2

Cut an addition piece of Whisper White Card Stock 4 X 5 1/4

I cut both the front of the card and the extra Whisper White card stock at the same time using the largest Stitched Shapes Square.  On the Big shot I use the Multipurpose platform to cut both windows at the same time. (save the stitched squares for another project)

Take your time and center for this I used washi tape to tape papers and framelit to paper.

After cutting both pieces of paper I set aside the 4 X 5 1/4

With a very light pencil I gave myself the edge of the window square so I would know where to stamp.

With the outline of the candle I stamped in Chocolate Chip

Then I made a mask out of post it note to cover the Candles fussy cut to fit and 

with Emerald Envy I used the bough stamp to add the greenery

Save your mask for another time.  Just put it in with the stamps, easy to find again.

There are 2 stamps in Merry Patterns to fill in the candles

I just used Cherry Cobbler and Emerald Envy

There is a stamp to color in the flames I used Daffodil Delight.

Then I took the sentiment from Hearts Come Home Stamp Set using Cherry Cobbler.

After making sure the ink was really dry I erased my pencil marks.  I use a Pink Eraser (tip I learned today it will also take glue off too and yep it really really works on glue) 

Tip is from Lisa at Lisa's Stamp Studio

Use any baker's twine you have I happen to have Cherry Cobbler that I got off the Clearance Rack, it is not there anymore sorry.

I wrapped it 3 time and tied a knot before tying my bow.  Spread the twine any way that suits you.  Trim ends and my last touch was to use Wink of Stella on the flames.  You can't see it in the photo but it gives it just a hint on sparkle.

 With the extra piece of Whisper White I lined up the square and glued it down with your favorite adhesive.  this will keep the bakers twine in place
