This is another card from my group swap. I love it! It reminds me of Bewitched.
Kristie used the Out on a Limb set from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the Spooky Bingo Bits set from the Idea Book and Catalog. Love the cutesy Halloween stuff!
Happy stamping, everyone!

I got this card in the monthly swap I am doing with my group (some downline, some sideline - all wonderful friends and stampers!).
Love it! Unfortunately, the name isn't on it, and it got separated from its envelope. And I can't remember anything these days. So, group, if this is yours, let me know! I will be glad to give you credit. :-)
There is Dazzling Details at the top of the cauldron (made from the Ornament punch!). It makes the perfect glittery brew! Here are all of the supplies used:
Stamps: Wicked Cool
Card Stock: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Ink: Stazon Black, Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade
Accessories: Neutrals Designer Series Paper Pack, Ornament Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Oval Punch, Dazzling Details, Dimensionals
I referred to this card when I made my popcorn slider for my Halloween Treats Stamp-a-Stack. Thanks for sharing ideas, friend!
Happy stamping, everyone!

I wanted the Stocking Die from the moment I saw it. Then I saw some out-of-the-box ideas done with it, and now I need it! We made this at stamp club last night:
Who would have thought it?! Certainly not me. :-) This project combines the Stocking die with a 3 1/2" circle and a couple of embossing folders to make a stinkin' cute witch's boot. We made the tag with the Wicked Cool stamp set and circle punches. Here's a view from an angle that lets you see more detail:
If you look close, you can see the circle on top of the toe of the stocking. When looking at it in person, the embossing folder really camouflages the circle, so you don't notice it.
I borrowed my sister's die to get these ready for stamp club. I will be ordering it now. :-)
Happy stamping, everyone!

Halloween projects are so fun! I got this card from my friend Jessica:
Love the "candy corn" background and all the circles!She used the Wicked Cool and Grateful Greetings stamp sets. The circles were done with Big Shot dies and punches. The colors are Basic Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight. Here's a peek at the inside:
Happy stamping, everyone!

I'm loving the It's a Wrap stamp sets that SU! has come out with! There is one in the main catalog and a new holiday one in the Holiday Mini. The images fit on mailing labels and can be wrapped around small chocolates (Hershey's Nuggets are perfect!). They are also make great focal points or greetings on cards, like the one I showed yesterday. At stamp club this month, we used them with chocolates:
We used the Batty for You and Wicked Cool stamp sets, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, and Whisper White card stocks, Stazon Black, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, and Pumpkin Pie Classic inks, the Spider Web embossing folder with the Big Shot, and small flat cello bags.
I love this! It's a quick and easy project that would make a teacher or co-worker feel appreciated.
Happy stamping, everyone!

When the Spider Web embossing folder came out, I immediately wanted it! Such a fun thing for Halloween or for using with kids learning about spiders. I intended to use it in some capacity at preschool, but now I'm not teaching. So I got to use it on a card for a swap:
It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder on the Elegant Eggplant card front. After embossing the Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Spider Web embossing folder, I gently rubbed the Whisper White Craft pad over the raised parts. That really makes the web stand out! On the inside, I stamped the "eek" image from the It's a Wrap Holidays set from the Holiday Mini Catalog:
Loving this stamp set as well! Come back tomorrow to see what we did with it at stamp club last week.
Happy stamping, everyone!

This little box has been very popular! And I must admit, it's pretty cute. Wanna make some? Here's how:
Use the Big Shot to cut the Fancy Favor Box out of a piece of 6X12 Old Olive card stock. Trim off the "fancy" part to use on another project. Save the scraps of Old Olive to punch out eyes and a nose for Frankie.
Fold on the score lines to make it look like this.
Apply adhesive as shown above. I like the Tombow Multi Liquid Glue for this project.
Fold the edge over to glue the flaps together. Leaving it flat on the table makes it easier to get it lined up. Set the box aside.
Tip: When I'm using this glue, I like to leave it upside down in a punch so that the glue is always ready in the tip of the bottle.
Use your paper snips to cut little wedges out of a 1X11 piece of Basic Black card stock to create the hair. I just snipped what will be the front.
Hold the hair piece on the front, and fold it around the corner.
Continue doing this around the box...
until the hair piece looks like this.
Apply adhesive to the front section of the hair piece, and attach it to the front of the box.
Work your way around the box, gluing the hair on one side at a time. (Note that the bottom of the box is still not put together.)
With a 1" circle punch, punch out two half circles. If they end up being very different sizes, just put one on top of the other and trim the larger one with your scissors. Easy fix! While you've got those scraps handy, use your 3/4" circle punch to make a circle for the nose.
Sponge both eyelids and the nose with Old Olive ink.
From Basic Black card stock, punch two 3/4" circles. Add a little white detail with the fabulous uni-ball Signo Gel Pen.
Use the Tombow Glue to adhere the Basic Black circles to 1" Whisper White circles. I like mine toward the bottom of the white. Use a Dimensional to attach the 1/2 circles on top.
Attach the eyes right up against the hair, centers touching. Attach the nose, sticking it under the eyes. The top of the nose is right where the two eyes are touching, so you can't see it.
Use the bullet tip of the Basic Black marker to draw his mouth and some stitches.
Fold three flaps in and apply glue to the remaining flap. Fold it over.
Turn the box right side up, and apply pressure to the bottom until the glue is dry enough to hold. A bone folder will also work, if you don't want to stick your hand in there.
Apply a generous amount of adhesive to a Rolo.
Place the Rolo on the side of your box. Hold it for a minute until the glue holds. Repeat for the other side.
I like to prop my box on top of a stamp pad until both sides are dry.
Isn't he cute! Mine has a medium flat cello bag filled with popcorn and candy corn, tied with 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain.
Happy stamping, everyone!

I added some things to my calendar this week, and now I have put the information on the Up-Coming Events page here. (Click on the link to the right to check it out.) I'm doing a tile coaster class on the 21st and a Halloween Stamp-a-Stack-a-Treats on the 25th. For the Halloween class, you will be able to choose from the projects shown here. I have priced this class a little differently, so you can choose your projects and how many of them you want to do. I also have two private coaster classes planned. I would love to show you and your friends how to make coasters, too. Contact me to set a date!
Happy stamping, everyone!

Stamp club was tonight! We had a great time. The girls loved making this:
We wrapped Basic Black card stock aroung a mini bag of popcorn. The ghost is the owl punch. The pumpkin is made with the large oval punch. The greeting was punched with the new decorative label punch.
Happy stamping, everyone!

I may have to have this set. I got this card in the shoebox swap I participated in last week.
I don't know who made it, so I can't give proper credit. But I like it! This is the Wicked Cool stamp set. The Spider Web embossing folder was used on the Whisper White. We have Whisper white, Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive for the colors. I love the little bit of bling added with the Basic Rhinestone Jewels. Just one. Just a touch. Just enough.
Happy Friday! Wishing you plenty of time to stamp this weekend!
Annette
