Sparkly Seasons

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your staying cool in the midst of the brutal heatwave!

Bailee & I went out for a walk around the yard yesterday and it was so hot. 

There was a nice breeze but that did not make too much difference.

Last week I was sitting at my stamp table and I decided to pull out all of my Halloween stuff. Stamp sets, papers, dies and whatever was related to Halloween! I made 12 packs of cards with it and emptied out 2 packages of DSP! That felt so good to throw the empty packs away!

Today I am sharing one pack using the retired Sparkly Season from 2015 along with it's coordinating Seasonal Frame Thinlets Dies. I used several retired things so if you are familiar to Stampin Up! over the years you will probably recognize some things...

I purchased this set from Facebook second hand and I really don't remember using it much so today it got inked and used. I may even use it for some cards for Christmas since there are Christmas images in it, too! Today it's time for those happy jacks to shine....and do they ever shine! Look at those big smiles!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sparkly Seasons (2015 (pumpkin)-retired), Howl O Ween Treat (2015 (hat)-retired), To Every Season (2019 (sentiment)-retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum (retired)

Cardstock: Perfect Plum (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Cast A Spell DSP (2009-retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Seasonal Frame Thinlets Dies (2015-retired), Boo To You Framelits (2015-retired), Halloween Night Enamel Dots (retired), Linen Thread Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had so much fun making these! I know I am not going to sell 12 + packs of Halloween cards this year but if & when my hands give out I have plenty to fall back on! Besides, it feels good to use this stuff up!

My thoughts today...

Spooky season is upon us but it sure does not feel like it when it's 100 degrees outside.

Hopefully soon!

Thanks for stopping by & stay cool!

BOO Card for Kelsey

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day!

 I got all my outside flowers cut down and flower pots put away for the year.

Hate seeing my back porch looking so bare but it's getting to be that time of the year.

Our days & nights are getting colder and the growing season is over.

Sad but true...

Anyways, today I have another Halloween card to share that I made for Kelsey.

I pulled out my entire box of Halloween stamps and looked thru them.

I picked an old set called Howl-O-Ween Treat that was out in 2015.

I made this into a gift card/cash holder which I will slip a few bucks in for her.

I think she will love that skull and bones on the front!

I added a bow to it for a girl.

Card Details:

Stamps: Howl-O-Ween Treats (retired), Spooky Bingo Bits (retired), Wonderfully Wicked (inside)

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie. Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Witches Brew DSP (retired)

Accessories: Boo to You Framelits (retired), Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Circle Punch, Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Monster Bash Enamel Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My cardstock is 4 1/4 x 11.

Scored at 2 and 5 1/2.

The 2 inch is what makes the pocket on the inside.

It's a neat little gift card holder! 

I already made a few for Christmas!

Yes it is!

Day 2 of Halloween

Hello & Happy Friday!

So glad the weekend is here! I've been pretty busy this past week in the stamp room! I'm all over the place with my creating this week, from Halloween to Christmas and Sympathy to Birthday! Yikes, no wonder my hands are hurting but I really enjoy creating!

This week has been pretty rainy with no end in sight right now. A hurricane is now headed up the east coast which they are predicting will brush us by with more heavy rains & wind. Mother Nature doesn't sound too happy! The doggies go for Doggy Day Spa tomorrow so I will be crafting more in hopes of getting craft show stuff soon wrapped up! Just bare with me if my posts start to get sporadic over the next several weeks. 

Today I am sharing a cute little Halloween treat that I learned to make from Erica Cerwin. She makes the cutest projects! This treat holds a Rice Krispy Treat that I found at Walmart in a box of 60. I was not going to make 60 of these so I will use the rest for Trick or Treat night.

I was looking for something different this year and this fit the bill. There is a little pocket inside of this holder that holds the little bite sized Rice Krispy Treat. Erica used the Sparkly Seasons set on her treat holders. I used the new Howl-o-ween Treats set for mine and used a sentiment from last year from a set called Good Greetings. My paper is from the Happy Hauntings & the Polka Dot Parade DSP Packs. I used the new Spider Web Doilies which I cut in half. The Ribbon is Rich Razzleberry Stitched Ribbon & the Tangelo Twist Thick Twine from Sale A Bration this past year. These were so fun & easy to whip up! Here is the link to her tutorial if your interested. 

Rice Krispy Treat Holders:

Stamps: Howl-o-ween Treats, Good Greetings

Ink: Basic Black (new pad), Tangelo Twist, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Happy Hauntings DSP, Polka Dot Parade (Rich Razzleberry) DSP

Accessories: Boo to You Framelits, Spider Web Doilies, Star Punch, Word Window Punch, Scallop Tag Punch, Tangelo Twist Thick Twine, Rich Razzleberry Stitched Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid

Well, that is all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Up first is the Halloween Mini Treat Bags that I used the Mini Treat Bag Framelits to make. Another one of Stampin Up's awesome dies!

The possibilities are endless!
