Halloween overload this week!

I had put it off for some time but the last two days proved to be the best days to catch up on classroom Halloween treat assembly.   With the weather being so CRAPPY and lots of snow falling I was stuck inside.  Now I am trying to catch up on all kinds of things.  Here is a collage of what I have worked on.  Lots of great ideas for you to see.

There you can see all my creations.  For the graveyard box you see above, you can find the template HERE.  These are super cute and fun to make.  I will post supplies later tonight.  It’s dinner time and the kids are acting as if they have never eaten a day in their little lives.  Stamping must take a back seat for a couple of hours.  Jeesh!  <smile>

Pumpkin Fever

I’m in my stamp room this morning working on lots of things dealing with pumpkins and skeletons!  Trying to finish up a few projects for the kids school parties this week.  My kids Fall break ended two hours ago.  They are back in SCHOOL!  Of course Mother Nature extended it by two hours this morning due to icy roads and snow.  UGH!

Anyways, I wanted to share a fun card with you this morning.  The stamp set Pumpkin Patch (116499) for 22.95 is a great set to add to your collection.  The beauty of this stamp set is you can use it for more than just pumpkins.  This set is very versatile.  I see balloons, Christmas lights, Eggs and much much more with it.  I love a stamp set that I can see WAY outside the box with.

I typically use Classic ink on 98% of my paper crafting projects.  For this I used Craft ink for my little pumpkins.  I really do like how Craft ink gives a muted effect when stamping on paper.  You just need to give a little time to dry.  I used the gorgeous Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper and mounted it to Chocolate Chip cardstock squares.  I’m not quite sure where I was going with this card, but here it is.  I just like the pumpkins.  I am working on a few more pumpkin cards today. 

Make sure you are checking the NEW deal of the week on the right side of my side bar.  Stampin’ Up! has really provided some great deals this month.  I love these specials.  Check them out and don’t miss out!  Order on line from me and I will send you a little hand stamped gift as a "Thank You". 

Time to get back to stamping.  It’s soooooooooooooooooooooo quiet in the house.  I love it.

I can’t tell you how much I love Halloween stuff!  I just think there are so many fun things you can stamp for Halloween.  I know not everyone digs it as much as me, but one of my classes I did the end of September and beginning of October was my all time FAVORITE!  This class was not only fun, but has the most unique box.  My friend Christy and I get together monthly to work on a class series that we named "A Trip to…"  Each month we have researched our project and come up with what we think is fun and unique.  Christy is my box guru.  I can give the girl a sketch and she just goes a mile further than I could ever think.  This box is my all time favorite.  This class to go is one I think you will love making and has more possibilities than just a Tombstone!

 

This tombstone holds 4 cards and 4 envelopes.  It’s a fun gift for anyone.  It uses the Graveyard Gala and From the Crypt stamp set.  Two of my favorites this year in our catalog. 

Class to Go Kit:  $8.95

 This class has a 14 page PDF of instructions to make the box and 4 cards inside the box for $8.95.  If you would like to purchase this class to go, click the Buy Now button below!  I think you will enjoy this fun class!

 

 


 

 

Once you have purchased the class please allow up to 24 hours for me to send the PDF.  Most of the time I am very quick to get your PDF to you. 

Have a FABULOUS week!

Here is another card we did in my clubs this month:

If you are a Big Shot owner, the Top Note Die Cut (113463) is one of my absolute favorite die cuts hands down.  There are so many wonderful things you can do with the die cut and it has never ending uses.  For those of you that are new to this die cut, I believe it’s like the Flour/Sugar in your kitchen.  You just HAVE to have it.  Watch the video below to learn how to make these amazing little medallions and ENJOY!

Halloween just keeps getting better!

Who can resist this new Halloween stamp set?  Who would think that Halloween would look pretty?  I think this card puts a little elegance into the Halloween Holiday.  It’s crazy!  I just have a quick minute to show you today. Check this out.

I used the Top Note Die Cut to make the cool little medallion in the center of the card.  You can view this post to see a few more details on how to make this.  I used the From the Crypt stamp set again and I love this image.  It’s beautiful yet there are spiders in it.  WOW.  I used White Craft ink on the Basic Black and I think has a stunning look. Almost looks like DSP!  For the teeny sentiment, I used Teeny Tiny Wishes. 

 

Have a fabulous week!
