Halloween Treats

Hey there everybody!  Happy Halloween!

Do you have anything fun planned for today?  The beginning part of our day will be much like every other.  We will get through our homeschool lessons for the day.  But then, we have friends coming over for an early dinner, and we will all trick or treat together.  I decided to make a fun special treat for my friend.  

 Here is my project: 

I started with a Striped Treat Bag.  I used the witches hat image from the Spooky Cat stamp set in Archival Basic Black and stamped them all over the bag.  Then I embossed my greeting from the same set, in Gold on Basic Black card stock.  I punched the greeting out with the Everyday Label Punch.  I added it to a banner I made from Whisper White, that I decorated with Black Rhinestones.  I wrapped the top in striped ribbon, added a bow, and lots of ribbons hanging down.

That is all I have to share for today!  I hope you have safe and fun halloween.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Spooky Cat

Hello everyone!  Today I have a fun card to share with you that I made using the Spooky Cat stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

Here is my card:

I wanted my moon to have a bit of a different texture, even though the cat was stamped on the moon.  

I used my fine tip glue to outline the cat, and then covered the whole moon.  The cat is still matte finish, plain cardstock.  But the rest of the moon has a fun, shiny, bumpy texture to it.  The bumps come from some air bubbles in my fine tip glue, made by shaking it up.

The stamps on this card all come from the Spooky Cat stamp set, found on page 53 of the Holiday Catalog.

I made the ticket corners on my Basic Black square using the Everyday Label Punch.  I used the rounded end to cut out the corners of my square.

That is all I have to share for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamp with Me Saturday - Halloween Fun

Good Morning everyone!  Happy Saturday to you!  Did you know that today is World Card Making Day?  Even though my family is at family camp this weekend, we plan to spend some time today making some greeting cards.  I have been wanting to start something new for a long time, and I thought World Card Making Day was the perfect time to start. Welcome to the first ever, Stamp with Me Saturday.  Each week in addition to sharing a project, I will share a video showing how I made that project.

This week, I have some Halloween fun projects to share.  I  made this card, and treat holder using some of the products found in the Spooky Night product suite in the Holiday Catalog.

I love this suite of products, and they coordinate together so well!  

You can see that the cat treat holds a single Hershey kiss.

Here is the video I made, showing you how I made these projects.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy the video.

Halloween Night

Hello everyone!  Happy Halloween!

Do you have big plans tonight?  We will be taking our kids trick - or - treating in true Seattle style.  Rain.  But, I'm sure we will have a great time anyway!  Last year it dumped rain.  One of the houses in our neighborhood gave out cups of cocoa instead of candy.  That was awesome, especially because that house is about halfway through our usual route.

Today, I have a simple halloween card to share with you.

This fun z-fold card features the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

Whatever you are doing tonight, I hope you have a fun, and safe Halloween!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Home - Halloween

Today, I'm playing along with the fun Inkpiration Challenge from SSInk.

They shared a fun halloween / fall image.  I instantly noticed the orange door.  I knew that my card needed an orange door!
