Yet another halloween card...

Are you getting sick of them yet? I hope not since it's still another week until Halloween! We finished putting up our Halloween decorations last night and let me tell you, our house is going to be Awesome!! I'm so excited for the trick-or-treaters to see it.

This card uses the cat from the Halloween Frights stamp set from SU. It's a really simple card. I stamped the cat on the white square, rounded the corners and layered it with a scallop square that I made with the nestabilites scallop dies in my cuttlebug. Then I layered it with some Designer paper from SU and black that I used the scallop border punch on. Are you getting sick of scallops yet? Not me. I love them!

stamps: Halloween Frights
ink: Black, White
paper: tangerine tango, kiwi kiss, black, white, river rock (retired), Ghostly Greetings
other:corner rounder, brads, nestablities scallop squares, cuttlebug

Owl Anniversary

Here is a fun anniversary card I made for an October wedding anniversary. I just thought the way the owls were looking at each other was so cute and sort of comical and romantic at the same time...plus I just love owls!! I cut the paper out using the nestabilities square scallop die in my cuttlebug. You send the die through twice, once to make the outside cut and then again with a different amount of pressure to do the embossing on the edge. I really love how these squares look but they are a little laborious to make. I think next time I'm going to make a whole pile of them so I just have them on hand when I want to use some.

Once I had the owls stamped I colored them using markers and aqua painters. Then I stamped Happy Anniversary under them from the Stampin' Up! set Hugs and Wishes. The patterned paper is scrap I had left from last years Apple Cider Designer paper from SU. Boy am I sad that is discontinued. I really loved that paper!!

The base of the card is really rust cardstock and I stamped up the one side using the small flower from the Eastern Blooms set since that set just happened to be on my table! I love how it turned out, so cute and simple!


stamps:owl Buddies (from A Muse stamps), Hugs & Wishes (SU), Eastern Blooms (SU)
ink:Basic Black, Earth Elements Markers
paper:Really Rust, Apple Cider Designer paper (retired), whisper white
other: Taffeta Ribbon, Nestabilities scallop square

Spooky Owl card

I'm not sure if this is my favorite card I've made but I thought I'd try something simple and a little different. This card uses the Halloween Frights set from Stampin' Up! I inked the owl with really rust ink and then inked the edges with a chocolate chip marker to achieve that two-toned look. I think that adds some charter to the owl. Then I punched him out with the circle punch and thought it might be fun to punch out the words too. I also used my favorite scallop border punch. What do you think? too simple?

stamps:Halloween Frights,
ink: basic black, really rust, chocolate chip, more mustard
paper:basic black, whisper white, kiwi kiss, summer sun, close to cocoa
other: pumpkin pie ribbon, punches

spooky cat!

Happy Thursday! Here's another Halloween card with the ghouls & goblins set from inkadinkado! I love the little cat hiding under the sheet! so cute!! To make this card I used pumpkin pie card stock for the base, then used the web embossing folder on my cuttle bug to make the web embossed on the black cardstock. I stamped the cat with black ink and framed it with some kiwi kiss cardstock. I also used the scallop border punch and some ribbon from michaels.

sweet spooky treats!

Happy Monday! It was such a beautiful weekend here, in the 70's and 80's that I didn't even take time to stamp! Can you believe it? We spent some time doing stuff outdoors instead...but here's a few treats I made last week that I haven't shown you yet!

The first one is a treat holder that I made using the sizzix pillow box die. Stampin' Up now sells some of these die-cuts along with the Big Shot die cut machine so I thought I'd better give it a try. But since I'm on a budget and already had a cuttlebug, I had to make it work in that machine instead of buying a new one. It took a few trys and I broke one well-used plate for my cuttlebug but I finally figured it out. I think the little pillow box is super cute! For the tag, I used my ever-popular scallop punch and the owl from the halloween frights set!


The second treat is an idea I found off some other blogs but I just had to copy it because it's so cute! I found the test tubes at Michaels and filled them with reeses pieces (Yum), and stamped a tag for them. For these tags I used the Batty for you set!

Tic Tac Bat!

TGIF, right? I'm so glad it's friday. This has been one long week for me at work and I'm excited for the much needed weekend. Besides, it's supposed to be super warm out this weekend here!

Today I'm sharing one of the halloween treats I recently made. Here's a close-up of the tic tac holder. I just think these are really adorable!! I even found some orange tic tacs to put inside. Basically it's just a book-style wrap around the tic tacs, which I adhered in using sticky strip. Then decorate as you'd like. I used Batty for you and added on some little google eyes!

stamps: batty for you
ink:basic black, pumpkin pie
paper: basic black, pumpkin pie, Ghostly Greetings designer paper
other: google eyes, pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon, scallop and circle punches
