Kween Bee Kreations

Beautifully Batty

Sorry I was scarce over the weekend... it was a busy one beginning with a Stampin' Up! party on Saturday.  Which by the way, was very successful and fun! 

BUT, I'm back today with a Beatifully Batty Kreation to share with you.  I have to say, this may be one of my favorite Kreations thus far.

I took inspiration for this card from the card sample in the Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog (page 28).  NOTE:  You can order a hard copy of the new catalog through me for $9.95.  Simply E-mail Me to make arrangements for delivery (free shipping).  That little bat hanging upside down was one of the first things in the new catalog that caught my eye. 

I was so happy to see that "Batty For You" made it into the Fall/Winter IB&C.  I bought it when it was released in last years Holiday Mini and thought it was retired.  Now I get to demonstrate this cute stamp set again!

Speaking of the Holiday Mini, you're also getting another sneak peek into a stamp set from that catalog.  The tree I used on this card is from the "Season of Friendship" set.  I drew my inspiration from a computer wallpaper background (from American Greetings.com) that I have set on my Mac at home. 

Other interesting details about this card are the mini clip (found on page 184 of the Fall/Winter IB&C) securing the black & white gingham ribbon.  I love the gingham ribbon as an alternative to plain black ribbon.  Gives it a more textured look, in my opinion.

You are getting a sneak peek into the Holiday Mini Catalog (above).  The designer series paper is from the Autumn Vine collection (released October 1). 

The stamp set is called "Season of Friendship" - it's a great set of 6 stamps for $23.95.  The stamp set consists of the tree and four seasonal icons to customize your tree, as well as one sentiment that reads "The season of friendship lasts forever".

For my Kreation, I used a rub-on from the Chit Chat collection.  I used three oval punches to highlight my sentiment. 

Tomorrow I am demonstrating at a Stampin' Up! party.  I will be showing how to create these cards (one group will do red and the other blue), among showing off our fabulous tools, stamp sets, and accessories. 

What do you think?  Wish me luck!  It's going to be such fun.
