Boo to You!

Yippie! It’s Halloween and here is today’s little treat item that I made using the Fall Fest stamp set (135194).

Fall Fest Triangle Box 2 (1)

I stamped using our Whisper White Craft Ink Pad (101731) and then embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930) to give it a translucent ghost like look. What do you think? The sentiments come from the Hostess special, Good Greetings Stamp Set (135014/135017) and this set is only available until the end of the day today if you still want it.

Fall Fest Triangle Box 2 Tags (2)

And a close up of the two tags. Want to learn how I made this special little Triangle Box? Click HERE to see my earlier project and video tutorial.

And now for some team swaps. This  card is from my team member Cindy and is a Quarter Fold Card.

Halloween Quarter Fold Card Blue Mountain Stampers swap Sept 2014 (2)

It also uses the Fall Fest  and Good Greetings stamp sets. The Fun Fall Framelits (135856) make this project a snap and I love the way she used the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819) to help her choose the colors for this project.

Halloween Quarter Fold Card Blue Mountain Stampers swap Sept 2014 (1)

Here’s the last project that I’ll be sharing with you today.  Feathers are right on trend right now and I love the whimsical look JoAnn created with the Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker’s Twine and the Four Feathers set (1354051/135053). What a great card for men too!

Four Feathers Blue Mountain Stampers swap Sept 2014

On a personal note –

It’s Halloween and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day and evening for our local little trick or treaters. I always look forward to seeing the kids in their costumes – so much so that my daughter texted me a picture of herself getting ready for the day with her friends!

Kaitlin Halloween

Kaitlin is a creepy baby doll marionette. She and her friends were going to be the Fanta girls (do you remember them?) but they ran out of time to find coordinating costumes together. And since there isn’t a lot of shopping options at college they raided the local Wal-Mart girls department.

LOL! I thought it was a pretty clever idea when she told me about it. She was shocked when they could find the items they needed in the little girls department too! I’ll share some more pictures from today on my Facebook page later today. So stop by and check it out.

Just a couple of reminders –

Autumn Accents

It’s really beginning to feel like fall here with the latest cold front that has rolled in – now I’m just waiting for the first frost here in the North Georgia Mountains so my allergies will stop being such a pain. I definitely have a love hate relationship with fall, if you know what I mean.

Today’s cards are three more swaps that I’ve received, all of them use colors that make you think of autumn. Isn’t it cool how colors are so connected to memories and feelings of times and events?

Seasonally Scattered Stamp divas swap Sept 2014 (1)

I really like the White Vellum card stock (101856) and the Autumn Accents Die (127812) that was used to create the leaves on this first card. The vellum has been sponged and our scoring tool was used to create the veining. Cool right?

Anna created this second card using just our Lullaby Designer Series Paper (133695) along with the Petite Pairs stamp set (128706/122497).

Autumn Accents Die stamp divas swap Sept 2014 (3)

Can you see all the texture that this card has? Created simply by using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder (127821) and 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon (132140). And of course the choice of Designer Series Paper also add to the feel of the texture.

This last card was from Lorraine and uses the Wondrous Wreath stamp set (135047) and Wonderful Wreath Framelits (135851). I really like the way she turned a simple square shape onto it’s side to give it a whole different look. How about you?

Merry Everything!

Here are two more great cards that I want to share with you and they share a color theme. Can you tell me what it is? LOL.

Merry Everything Stamp Divas swap Sept 2014

This first card uses the Merry Everything (135068/135071) and the  Fall Fest Stamp sets (135194) from the holiday catalog. I love the fact that not only does Merry Everything cover all your fall holidays but it also comes with a coordinating punch too – the Note Tag Punch. Ahhh… and you know how punches are one of my vices. LOL

Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Divas swap Sept 2014

This second card was given to me by Jeannette and uses our Gorgeous Grunge set (130514/130517) along with the exclusive Hostess set Good Greetings (135014/135017). Oooo… I’m going to miss using these fun sentiments.I just love the font that the 19 different sentiments are done in. This set is such a great deal and you only have a few more days to earn it before it is gone!

So can you guess the color theme? Leave me a comment and let me know what it is and which card you like best.

Ghoulish Greetings & New Weekly Deals

Wow… I’ve spent the last few days without my internet and boy does that take some getting use to. I really had forgotten just how many things I do that depend on the internet. Good news is, Windstream came out and fixed what ever was wrong – bad news,  I’m not sure they know what went wrong. LOL The reaction from the tech was rather interesting.

Anyhow, you want to see some projects, right? Well all this week I’m going to be sharing some of the great projects that I’ve received from my fellow demonstrators during team meetings. Today’s project are two fun Halloween themed projects.

Ghoulish Greetings Stamp Divas Swap Teresa Sept 2014

This first one is from my friend Teresa and uses the fun pumpkin image from the Fall Fest stamp set (135194) along with the greeting from the Ghoulish Greetings set (136663/136664). Cute right? And can you guess the stamp set the little faces are from that she used to create the background on this card? Well if you guess the Holiday Home set (135095) your right!

Holiday Invitation Stamp Divas Swap Terry Sept 2014

This second project was made by Terry using the Holiday Invitation stamp set (135074)from the Holiday Catalog. Terry is new to our group and to stamping, but I think she’ll fit right in we both seem to be OCS (obsessive, compulsive, stampers) LOL!

This great little 3d can hold a lot of chocolate for someone . And you know how I love 3ds – I’m going to have to make some of these fun little treat holders myself soon.

Sound like fun? Ever think about becoming a demonstrator? Want a discount or even the ability to earn a little extra cash?

Wondrous Wreath in Blues

I really love the Wondrous Wreath Bundle and have been creating all kinds of projects with it. This time my card is for the holidays and has a soft and cool color pallet.

And don’t you love the Silver 5/8″ Satin Ribbon? It has such a rich look and feel to it. I’ve been wanting to use this ribbon for a while and think this was just the card to show off this rich elegant ribbon.

Wondrous Wreath  Mixed Embossing Powder (2)

So what do you think? Can you see the special sparkle on my wreath. I created this sparkle by mixing my Smoky Slate Embossing Powder with the Silver Stampin’ Glittler. It’s a great way to have fun with colored embossing powder and so easy to do!

So Thankful

I’m finding all kinds of fun ways to use my Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set. Last night I created this colorful fall card using the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.

PL Holiday Cheer So thakful Card

So what do you think? Bright and colorful – I thought it was a great way to send a thank you card or holiday greeting.

I simply used the top portion of my designer series paper and cut off the cute little monsters at the bottom to use for another project. Added some of the Bermuda Bay card stock that I had trimmed with my Tiny Wave Rotary Wave Blade as an accent and then stamped my focal point and voila I was done. So quick and easy!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Project Life Holiday Cheer (135188)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171), Crushed Curry (131173), and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink (126946)

Paper: Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819), Tangerine Tango (111349), Bermuda Bay (131197), and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Thankful For You

Yesterday I shared with you a treat I made for a friend using my September Paper Pumpkin kit left overs and today I wanted to share with you another of the items I made using My Paper Pumpkin. This time I used just the stamps from the September and October kit. I think they work well together.

Paper Pumpkin Oct Candy Corn Thank you jar (1)

Here is another jar I found at the Target Dollar Spot – Small enough for just a little bit of something.

Paper Pumpkin Oct Candy Corn Thank you jar (2)

As you can see the exclusive stamps that come in the Paper Pumpkin kits are great to use for all kinds of things. They just aren’t limited to the kit. And it is a great way to build a great selection of stamps on a budget too!

And great news when you join Paper Pumpkin now you’ll have access to past kits you may have missed. Ask me how.

So what do you think? I’m hoping my friend will enjoy this little thank you.

Eat Something Sweet…..

Check out this cute little jar that I found in the Target dollar spot last time I was bumming around town. When I saw it I just new it would be a fun little size to use. And when I ran across these fun Blackberry Cobbler Candy Corn – I knew I just had to put the two together!

blackberry cobbler candy corn image

Purple Candy Corn – who’d have thought! And they’re pretty good too. So since I was wanting a fun little something for my friend when I see her later this week I thought I would play with my left overs from my September Paper Pumpkin kit.

This is what I came up with. It was so easy to do!

Paper Pumpkin Sept Candy Corn Jar

I had lots items left over from my September kit and the stamps were fun – I chose this one since I filled the little jar up with candy corn and it seemed fitting.

I simply punched a circle out of one of the striped tags to decorate the top. Then stamped my sentiment in Tangerine Twist and the image in Blackberry Bliss ink. (Of course I had to use Blackberry Bliss since I was filling the jar with Blackberry Cobbler Candy Corn. LOL!!)

I used a little of the black baker’s twine to tie on the tag after I used my 1/8″ Handheld Punch to make a hole in the corner. I think my friend will enjoy her little treat.

Truly Grateful

The Truly Grateful stamp set (131730) is one of the items that is currently part of our Weekly Deals and so I thought I would share with you a card I made recently using this set.

This set has some great images and the wood grain image in particular is wonderful to use when making cards for our guys. And as funny as it sounds the “log” image is what drew me to this set to begin with – I’ve got guys who like to turn wood on the lathe. LOL

Truly Grateful

I really like the way that this card turned out using the current 2014-2016 In Colors and Crushed Curry. The 2014 In Colors  are so rich and are great for fall, vintage, and guy cards. And of course you’re seeing them all over in the stores so they are right on trend too.

Want this set for your own? Here is a complete list of this week’s deals – why not take advantage of this great price?
