Erika here! I just had to take over the CP Blog to talk about our super cute Happy Meowloween Mini Bundle.

The Happy Meowloween Mini Bundle features the Feline Spooky 6×6 Patterned Paper and this eery color combo of Bellini, Tiki Torch, Martini, Minted, Serenade, and Flirty Fuchsia. This color combo gives you the traditional pumpkin orange vibes with some pops of color from the opposite end of the color spectrum.

This color combo was the perfect jump off point for my cards! I stamped my Happy Meowloween kitties in black and clear embossed them. Then grabbed some Copic Markers in similar shades to my CP inks and had a blast creating a spook-tacular crew!

A fuchsia Count Catula is super cute! I used the plaid patterned paper for a pop on this card and used the Cobweb Mini Cover Plate die to make a shaker- packed with Salem Sequins. I even ink blended a little Tiki Torch behind the web for moonlight touch and splattered some gold paint on the web.

I colored the Franken-cat in an orange and brown combo (and cut off his neck bolts!) to create a little scarecrow instead! This guy paired perfectly with the Pumpkin Season stamp set leaves that I ombre inked and die cut. The Martini patterned paper adds a nice little frame to this pumpkin patch card.

I colored the Skele-kitty in a Serenade inspired blue-violet and added some white gel pen to the bones. I wanted to create an ectoplasm blob card so I grabbed the Bold Bits & Patterns Stamp Set and Martini Ink to do my background and the stripe paper was the perfect match. More gold splatter was clearly called for. This guy totally freaks meowt!

This candy corn paper is my favorite in the pack! I used the large tag in the Party Tags Dies and did some direct-to-paper swinking to make a candy corn tag. Yummy Mummy Cat only needed a little grey shadow coloring to add interest and she was ready to go!

For this cute little Boo Boo Kitty, I skipped the paper but used Flirty Fuchsia as the jump off color to ombre inking the Cozy Plaid Background stamp. I love the high contrast of these rich purple shades and the white. The Scallops & Dots die set is a go-to for me and made this simple card super cute!

Which little trick-or-treat kitty pal is your favorite? Grab your Feline Spooky OR Scaredy Cat 12×12 Patterned Paper and coordinating inks and see what you are inspired to create! Happy Meowloween!

We are super excited about our Happy Meowloween Mini Bundle that is now in our shop! This group of mix and match products are purr-fect for Halloween cards, scrapbook pages and projects galore!

Stamp and color our posse of kitty characters using the paper pack color combo and get ready to create! Let's take a look at what our Guest Designer, Laura, created!

Laura colored her vampire cat and embellished him with white gel pen. He is mounted with a Mini Action Wobbler for interactive fun! She integrated black glitter card stock and some Feline Spooky Patterned Paper. I love her torn edges making this a bit spookier! She used the “boo” die from the Cobweb Mini Cover Plate to add a pop.

The Skele-kitty is so funny! Laura doubled up her patterned papers and again integrated a part of the Cobweb Mini Cover Plate Die- this time with the cobweb cut from vellum. What a great detail!

Tags are purr-fect for Halloween! Laura used the Notecard Tags and Frames Dies as the base for her tags. By adding twine, sequins, and some inky splatter, these tags are embellished just right!

Frankenkitty is the star of this card. More Feline Spooky Pattern mixing adds all the ghoulish color and pattern. Just by using a few items she already had in her crafty stash, Laura really brought the Halloween vibes to her cards and tags.

Head over to the CPD shop to check out the Happy Meowloween Bundle as well as our other Halloween treats!

The July Club Sursee products featured this adorable fruit themed stackable cake stamp set, Fruitfully Frosted. This set and it's companion, Party Pieces is not available in the shop.

The Fruitfully Frosted Stamp Set can be stamped and stacked in a number of ways. Pick your favorite fruity color combo and let your creative juices flow!

Brand Ambassadors Amanda and Ilina had stacks of fun making cards with these products. The banners in the Party Pieces Stamp Set were designed to add flair and sentiments to your yummy cards.

This simple one layer cake is too cute! Ilina decorated it with fruit and a candle from the complementing set. Club Sursee products are designed to mix and match perfectly.

Ilina decided to go with a pineapple focus with her colors on these two cards. Birthday or just celebrating someone you love, the sentiments cover the bases.

I always love the details Amanda adds to her cards. Here she used a white gel pen to add some highlights to her watermelon card. So sweet!

I made this card!! I decided to just use the watermelon cake layer stamps to create this super cute background and to decorate my tag. I mixed in some other classic CP products and just love how summery and fun this is!

You can pick this up now in the shop but why not try out Club Sursee and save on cute bundles of projects just like these! Subscribe today and get in for September's shipment.

Bet you can't pick just one card from Ilina that you love the most! These cards are going to inspire you to grab yourself a pack of Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper and create something sweet!

A simple card with patterned paper is always fun! The Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper is full of fun, mod patterns and prints and this little apple sheet is too cute on this card.

A simple strip of patterned paper adds so much interest and color! Ilina clustered some of the small flower stamps around and embellished with Appolonia Sequins. Love this!

Portrait or landscape? Using the same set of Around the Loop Dies, Ilina created an anchor point on these two cards but laid them out in different directions. By picking different colors of patterned paper, these two cards have a different feel even though they are the same overall color combo. I love how she added a pop with the Swirling Leaves Hot Foil Plate to her Bushel Basket card.

A patterned paper card layer base is also a great thing to try. Here it acts simply as a frame. Ilina made her stamped and die cut apples into a pattern as the star of this card.

Go pick-a-pattern, any pattern, and decide how you might integrate it into your next card. There are lots to choose from, so what's your favorite sheet? Or favorite card? Tell me in the comments below!

Brand Ambassador, Ashlee, created the cutest fall cards with the Bushel and a Peck Bundle and we love how she incorporated some of our brand new hot foil products. Let's check out what she was inspired to create!

Using the pumpkin die from the Fall Frames Dies set, Ashlee created three ink blended pumpkins for her card. The Swirling Leaves Hot Foil Plate created a beautiful background for a fun scene.

Using the Woven Cover Plate Die, Ashlee created a cool technique piece. She added ink splatter over her Samba inked cover plate and layered that over a Sauna inked background. This card is warm and perfect for fall.

With the Bushel Basket Die or without? Which do you prefer? The patterned apples in the Appley Every After Stamp Set are so cute inked in a variety of colors.

Pulling in the Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper makes for a quick and easy card. She added trim with one of the Fall Frames Dies and popped up the stamped and die cut sentiment from the Joyful Thanks Stamp Set.

So many creative ideas to inspire! The products from the Feeling Fall Collection mix and match for endless options!

The Pumpkin Pick-up Stamp Set is perfect for fall card making. The large line art image stamp featured in the stamp set is super fun to color in and showcase whether you are a coloring expert or just keep it simple.

We asked our friend Jennifer Dove to put her expert coloring techniques to the test with this set and boy did she nail it! She created a beautiful card and put in lots of little details to give the truck dimension and age. Check out that rust detailing!

Jenn took us step-by-step in her video over on my YouTube Channel. She shared what colors she used and what techniques to take this truck and create a piece of art! You'll certainly learn some great ideas!

Do you ever feel stuck in the rut of creating simple flat fold cards? Creating a z-fold card is so much fun and if you have the basics down, you can embellish and make so many designs!

I grabbed the Stitched Nested Hearts Dies and Aquatini Prints Paper as part of the base of my z-fold. I also used the Little Island Cover Plate Die and Float Your Boat Stamp Set to embellish, adding color and cute image elements for this tropical vacation themed card.

When the card is closed it looks so cute…open it up and it's full of surprises! I colored the tree from the cover plate die with Copic Markers and then trimmed it up to fit right on the heart. I tucked the sun inside along with a cute sentiment from the Greetings From the Beach Sentiment Stamp Set.

Learn how from my YouTube video here!

Since we introduced our Mini Ink Pads, we've seen many innovative ways to store or display the Minis in crafty spaces. We all have different preferences for organizing or displaying inks as well as different set ups in our craft corners, so here are a few ideas that may inspire you!

Try Playing with Your Current Ink Storage

The original boxes that our Mini Ink Pads came in still work for my organization, with a few changes. I reorganized my Minis in the boxes according to the Color Wheel. Reds are together, Greens, Yellows, etc. I store these boxes in plastic storage containers that fit on my Ikea Kallax Shelves. You can still purchase our storage boxes if you like this option and want to continue storing the minis in this way.

See the LIVE Facebook Replay where I share how to organize them this way here.

The Mini Ink Pads will also fit in the Organize More Ink Pad Organizers, two in each slot. You could try mixing them in between your full sized pads to keep the color families together or doing them side by side. You could also organize the full sized pads together and all the Mini Ink Pads together.

Our NEW Side Labels include multiple labels for each color giving you options for labelling the full sized, minis on one or both sides. Once you have a configuration you love, you may want to add a spacer behind the minis to make them easier to get them in and out.

Find Storage Bins to Fit Your Space

Our Mini Ink Pads are 1.5″ by 2.75″ and 3/4″ High. With this information on hand and a little math, you are ready to look at options for storing your minis in your space based on the drawers or shelves where you might like to keep them. The internet has a plethora of plastic and acrylic storage bin options that can work for your minis and many are very affordable. You can also find drawer dividers which can be use as designed or inside of storage bins to customize for size.

Our friend, Laura Evangeline, has a fantastic blog post sharing about her craft room organization. She has ideas using acrylic storage bins in her old set of Alex Drawers from Ikea and now in her new custom cabinet drawers. She sourced “eyeshadow storage” bins that work with her minis being stored on their ends which gets more in her drawer space.

Get Creative and Build Your Own!

We love this idea from Lisa Mendoza at Lisa Love Studio. She took a Totally Tiffany Organizer and turned it on its end. With some other custom tweaks, she created her own perfect Mini Organizer. You can see the how to in her video below.

Buy a Specialty Storage Product

Stamp and Storage has a product called the Ink Cube Caddy that you can buy in a CP Mini Sized Option. These are stackable and can also be stored in drawers.

Totally Tiffany makes an assortment of sizes of Buddy Bags and other craft storage brands have a wide assortment of storage and transportable products with different sized compartments. Some of those products may work just right for you and your minis! Just throw a couple in your bag and head out to your favorite local spot for organization and see what solutions you can find!
