Happy Halloween!

Hi stampers!  Happy Halloween!  I've got one more spooky card to share with you.  Of course I used the Spooky Sweets Bundle.  I combined it with a brusho background and the Everyday Label Punch, which also makes a great tombstone!

Again, my Gorgeous Grape didn't want to photograph well.  I'm so sad because I love the color but the light hasn't been great this week, either.  Oh well.  Trust me when I say, it's really pretty!

Hope you have a great Halloween!  Trick or treat!

Happy stamping!

Boo and Bats

Hi stampers!   Only one more day for anything spooky so I spent a little time this weekend whipping up a few more Halloween cards.  This one isn't my favorite but I do love the combo of Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, and Lemon Lime Twist with some Basic Black thrown in.

My photo isn't the best either, the light is fickle here this time of year and grape just doesn't want to photograph for me.  Oh well.  If you missed out on this bat punch, you'll be sad!  There's still time to grab it for next year!

Off to do all the things before Trick or Treat time tomorrow!  Oh, and also getting ready for Orlando...I keep thinking it's two weeks away but it's NEXT WEEK!

Happy stamping!

No Tricks Just Treats

Hi stampers!  It's almost Halloween!  I figured I'd finally share my cute little Halloween class I had.  I wanted to do something easy for new stampers but cute at the same time. I settled on the matchbooks I've done before for Annie's gummy snacks because they were bats this year and we have the bat punch!

I had the hardest time getting these to photograph well.  Gorgeous grape doesn't seem to want to cooperate!  Anyway, here it is!

And you can see the candy here.  I simply staple one in.  I've made these before and posted all the measurements there so I'm not going to do a tutorial today.  Basically, you just have to measure your treats and go from there.  I cut them at 3" x 8.5" this time and scored according to the size of the package this year.  I leave one quarter inch for the fold over at top.

I think all of my class participants liked them!  They were also pleased to see the bat punch and the fact that it cuts out all three bats at once :-)  I did add one little extra, and had them sponge the moon for more definition.  It really made a difference and they all liked the depth it added.  I hope all their favorite boys and ghouls like their treats!

And if you're looking for a quick but cute treat, matchboxes are the way to go!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 149

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  Clearly, I did not re enter the real world well after visiting Illinois as I haven't been blogging ;-)  I have just barely unpacked LOL!  It's been kind of a busy week so maybe I can get back to normal next week!  Only to leave for Orlando in early November, haha!

Anyway, at least I'm here today with a card for Fab Friday!  We have a sketch for you this round!

My photo isn't great, it's been dreary, drizzly, and gray here.  But, what is great is stamping on real red cardstock with cherry cobbler ink!  It stands out so much better than tone on tone!

Ok, I'm keeping it short today...and falling asleep as I post this ;-)  Make sure to check out the rest of the team's work and play along!

Halloween Pillow Box Treat

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday and happy birthday to my momma!  She'll never see this of course, but you can send her some good birthday vibes :-)  I just came back from her house yesterday so I'm sad I missed her actual birthday by one day!  And it's why I didn't blog last week.  I actually planned to but we kept pretty busy and Ian doesn't have to have such a strict (and early) bed time there anymore so I had like ZERO time in the evening to do anything, lol!  I kind of miss him going to bed at 7 ;-)

Anyway, I'm back home now and I'll have to unpack everything, my very least favorite!  Maybe I'll skip that for a bit and stamp, ha!

I can't believe how fast Halloween is approaching and I have a cute little treat today!  I just LOVE these Pillow Boxes.  They go with ANYTHING in kraft and white polka dots!  You just fold them up, pop something inside, and embellish them!

I had sort of forgotten about this punch and stamp set but it was perfect for this!  Need some easy treats?  Look no further!

Happy stamping!
