Witching You

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week is going well! I have been extra busy in the stamp room working on cards for my Stamp Day w/ Friends and some Halloween treats that Audrey requested. I really hope to finish up tomorrow so I can prepare for Saturday!

Today I have another set of Halloween cards to share with you that I used the retired Spooky Bingo Bits on again. That set is just so fun! I had some Heidi Grace Paper in my stash that I paired my stamps with...

Card Details:

Stamps: Spooky Bingo Bits (retired-2011), Festive Post (retired-2020)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, Heidi Grace Designs

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Distressed Tiles 3D EF, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots (retired), Orange Gingham Ribbon (stash), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

If your keeping count this is set # 29 and I cannot wait to show you the rest!

After today I have 3 more packs and i'm done. I still have more Halloween but it won't be card sets! My paper trimmer and my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine have certainly got quite the workout this Halloween season! I love every single pack I created, too!

Today is Shawn's appointment w the Orthopedic Doctor. 

I'm not sure what to expect but I will let you know tomorrow!

Russell Stover Pumpkin Boxes

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of October!?

The older I get the faster time goes by!

Today I have a cool Halloween treat box to share made using a template that Erica Cerwin showed on one of her Facebook Lives. It was the perfect box to hold the Russell Stover treats I had picked up a few days prior to her video!

These hold the Caramel Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

I forgot to take a picture of the candy itself.

These are the Peanut Butter Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

Here is the link to the You Tube video if you want to watch.

Project Details:

Stamps: Festive Post

Ink: Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, Whisper White, Plaid Tidings DSP

Accessories: Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Oval Layering Framelits, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Rich Razzleberry Stitched Ribbon (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were fairly easy boxes to create and quite sturdy.

I like that it keeps my treat from getting smashed!

BOO!

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Yesterday the weather was a perfect 10! 

Shawn mowed while I got all my flower boxes cleaned up as well as the front & back porches.

Today is a cool & cloudy morning. 

Rain is expected around midday so i'm glad we got the outside chores done yesterday!

I've got a Halloween card to share today that I made last week!

This one uses the cool starburst technique.

When I started this card I wasn't quite sure how it was going to turn out using the Magic in this Night DSP. After a few cardstock color changes I was very pleased with the outcome!

I was afraid it would be too dark for a Halloween card.

I think the pop of color from the Cajun Craze and the Pretty Peacock help!

My sentiment was stamped from the Banner Year stamp set.

The bats are from Festive Post.

Card Details:

Stamps: Banner Year, Festive Post

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Magic in this Night DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Black Glittered Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope you like these!

The starburst technique is a fun one once you figure out your paper pieces.

It also helps to use up those scrap pieces which we all have!

My thoughts today...

It sure has been a hot & very humid August....matter of fact, it's been downright tropical all summer.

While I like the nice warm sunshine, i'm not a fan of the humidity.

I'm ready for some cooler days with brilliant blue skies and sunshine!

Goodbye August.....Bring on September!

Thanks for stopping by & have a marvelous Monday!

Festive Post To You & Yours

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I've got a pretty holiday card for you today!

This one uses the Heartwarming Hugs DSP and the Festive Post set from the August - December Mini Catalog!

This is another great way to showcase these beautiful papers!

I have 3 different pieces showing on the front and like I said before, this Heartwarming Hugs DSP could be used all year long as there are no patterns for Christmas, just the red & green colors!

Very versatile! 

My deer & sentiment come from the Festive Post stamp set.

This set coordinates with the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch which I did not use here.

I diecut him on the Circle Layering Framelits and added my sentiment from a scrap of Whisper White which I just hand cut the ends with my Paper Snips.

Then I added a Red Rhinestone on the deer nose!

Card Details:

Stamps: Festive Post

Ink: Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Whsiper White, Mossy Meadow, Heartwarming Hugs DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Real Red Braided Linen Ribbon, Real Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals & Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Christmas is a favorite holiday and this year I am having so much fun playing with all the different stamp sets, dies and papers from the August - December Mini Catalog!

Can't wait to share much more with you in the coming months!

My thoughts today...

So very true...

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Trick or Treat

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Everyone!

I'm off to a late start today, so sorry about that! I have been tired & feeling run down the last couple of days and yesterday it finally caught up to me. I went to bed early last night and slept in way too long this morning. Still feeling sluggish but I need to push forward.

I have 2 days until my next Stamp Day w Friends get together and all I have left to do is get my table ready. Not sure what I will have for snacks yet. I always try to have a sweet treat like cupcakes or cookies and a veggie tray. 

Today I have a cute little Halloween card to share! Nothing spooky about this one!

I told you it was cute!

This card uses multiple stamp sets which I will list below in the description.

I have always wanted a stamp that said October 31 and this year Stampin Up! delivered! YAY!

Card Details:

Stamps: Festive Post, Festive Corners, Banner Year

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Memento Black

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Regals DSP, Brights DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Rhinestones, Linen Thread, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love the colors of Halloween, just wish we had some patterned paper with these bright, fun colors all together!

Hope you like my card!
