Halloween Matchbox Treat

Hi!  I wanted to share with you another project we created at Stamp Camp last Friday!


I just LOVE the Matchbox Die for the Big Shot - super fun for a quick little gift!


And, it's just the perfect size to fit four little Hershey Nuggets!  The "It's a Wrap Holidays" Stamp Set was a big hit!  It's available in the current Holiday Mini and has 7 different holiday stamps!







It's a Wrap Holidays (Set of 7 Stamps)
#122772 (clear mount) - $19.95
#122770 (wood mount) - $27.95








Products Used:
Paper:  Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Stamps:  It's a Wrap Holidays, Wicked Cool
Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, Black StazOn
Punch:  1 3/4" Circle
Big Shot:  Perfect Pennant Die
Other:  Rhinestone Jewels, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Dimensionals

The girls in class loved it and wanted to make more for their kids' teachers.  So..... I'm offering a Halloween Treats Class on Friday and a Creative Class-to-Go for those that can't attend.  (I've had several requests for Class Kits.... slowly working on that!)

Don't forget to check out all of the awesome Stampin' Up! Promotions this month!

Not So Seriously...

One of my good friends turned 40 this week and I knew that I wanted to make her a funny card.  So, I finally inked up my new "Not So Seriously" Stamp Set!  I took the thank you sentiment and changed it to a birthday sentiment and waa-laaa...


And here's the punchline...  (I hope you can see it!  Click images for a larger view.)


Don't tell me you didn't laugh!!  LOL!

Products Used:
Paper:  Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Stamps:  Not So Seriously
Ink:  StazOn Black, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade
Punch:  Eyelet Border
Ribbon:  1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon
Other:  Blender Pens

My friend loved her card (and the Books-a-Million gift card inside!) and we had a nice lunch!!  :)
Isn't it nice to give (or receive) handmade cards?!  Love it!

Halloween Banner

I LOVE October!  The weather is just about right, football is in full swing, the leaves start changing, and it's a big birthday month for us!  My son's birthday is actually on Halloween - so we have lots of fun decorating around here!

Last Friday I had a Halloween Stamp Camp.  One of the projects that we made was a little 'Boo' Banner using the Big Shot and the new Pick Your Poison DSP (Designer Series Paper).  At first, I really didn't care for this new Halloween line in the Holiday Mini, but the more I've used it, the more I LOVE it!  Here is the banner that we made:



You can click on the pictures to view them bigger and see more detail.  Can you see the sparkle?  That's the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz - love it!

Products Used:
Paper:  Pick Your Poison DSP, Basic Black, Basic Gray
Big Shot: Perfect Pennants, Serif Essentials Alphabet, Circles #2, Spider Web Embossing Folder
Ribbon:  Basic Black Satin, Peach Parfait Poly-Stitched
Other:  Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz, Dimensionals

This is a fun little banner and everyone loved it!  One of my friends sent me a picture of what she did with hers...


Doesn't that look cute?!  And she thought she wasn't crafty....  ;)

Thanks for visiting and do something creative this week!!
