Hi All,
I was so excited about this new stamp set that I couldn’t wait to show you these cards. It’s called Making Spirits Bright, and it’s from the new Stampin’ Up! holiday catalog.
Don’t you think this would be a fun set of cards to receive as a gift? It’s not your typical birthday/thank you/etc set!
I used the Simon Says Stamp Frame dies with each card. The stamps fit perfectly in both of the frame openings.
Here are a few individual photos and close-ups:
In the video I demonstrate the Christmas one. Supplies for all four of the cards are listed below. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Lovely cardset! I like the embossed frames!!

Cute, cute. You must have had a lot of fun making these. And you are correct – not an ordinary birthday card. So clever! The embossing and glittery images add so much.

Darlene, here’s a link to a product that I’ve begun using. It’s acid free. It’s dirt cheap compared to washi tape. It’s virtually invisible. It’s strong. AND it’s repositionable. i use it for inlaid dies. I use it to connect 1/2 pies of paper invisibly. It’s also very very thin – virtually weightless. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006ULHLA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 – plain old 3M medical tape. Oh, and it’s acid free.

Too cute! I may have to give that set another look.
Do you think tre the Tsukineko sponge daubers the same as the older SU! ones?
Darlene DeVries
Yes Terri, they are basically the same.

WOW!! Love all the cards, the Halloween is my favorite with that eye ball pierced by the toothpick, eeekk! I have a similar set called “Happy Hour” and it’s pretty cute too. I love the Wink of Stella shimmer paint, I like the clear one, I really love how it shines so pretty.
Thank you for all your videos Darlene, this one was such a fabulous surprise!!!!!

FUN, CUTE cards! I especially adore the “Bring on the BOOS” sentiment. I must have missed set this when I thumbed through the holiday catalog. Glad you featured it! 🙂
