Happy Halloween Card Set

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

It was a busy day here on Saturday with running errands and getting things around the house winterized.

Shawn took out the air conditioners and packed them away for the winter.

Sunday was football day! 

I made a roast with carrots, onions & potatoes in the crock pot and we watched football all day! 

It was a cool weekend which was much welcomed!

This morning our temp is 32 degrees! Burrr

I have a set of Halloween cards to share with you today!

It uses the Cat Punch and lots of retired products!

This set of cards will go to my card lady for Halloween.

She does not like anything scary so I kept these bright & happy!

Card Details:

Stamps: Spooky Cat (retired), Marbled Background (retired)

Ink: Basic Black Archival, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Spooky Night DSP (retired)

Accessories: Classic Label Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Cat Punch, Cobwebs EF, Halloween Night Twine (retired), Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It always feels good to use retired stuff as well as using up those small scraps of DSP.

Frights & Delights

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your week is going well!

I spent most of yesterday down at my stamp table working on Thanksgiving.

After the cards are done I will be moving on to a couple treats.

I don't do alot for this holiday but I have a couple people that love a little treat sitting at each person's table setting.

My card today is one from Saturday that my stamp ladies made and again I used retired products.

Anyone remember this set from 2003?

I told ya I have really been giving my oldies but goodies lots of love!

I decided to ink up that cute spider since I was using the retired SU Spider Web EF.

The saying on the front is from the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin as is the pumpkin on the inside.

The inside sentiment is from the retired Spooky Cat set.

Card Details:

Stamps: Trick or Treat (retired), Paper Pumpkin (retired, Spooky Cat (retired)

Ink: Basic Black Archival, Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Happy Haunting DSP (retired)

The ladies did a fantastic job putting their cards together!

Trick or Treat Boxes

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your enjoying your weekend.

Last evening the winds kicked up and then the heavy cold rain came!

Today it will feel more like winter than fall. I am SO NOT ready for winter!

I have 2 more Angie Juda boxes to share today!

These are going to my gang with some candy & a few bucks in for Halloween.

Here is the link to Angie's directions if your interested in making them.

They hold a good bit of stuff and are so easy to make!

I am not gonna list everything that was used for making these since most of it is retired.

Give them a try! You won't be disappointed!

Haha!

That is all for now!

Pizza Boxes

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day!

Definitely my kind of day!

We ran some errands early then hit up a local farm stand where we picked up probably the last of the season veggies. Lots of yummy tomatoes, yellow zucchini, cabbage and a watermelon. 

The pumpkins are taking over now!

Shawn helped me decorate the front porch for Halloween and then mowed the grass.

He also finally fixed my leaking kitchen faucet by going and buying a brand new one.

That faucet has been a thorn in his side for the last 3 weeks.

Today the weather is suppose to be just a nice!

We may get a bike ride in now that everything else has been done.

Tonight is football in prime time. The Ravens vs the Steelers!

It's sure to be a good game!! 

I have another Halloween treat to share today!

These are made with the Pizza Boxes that are in the Annual Catalog.

I have many packs of these. Not sure why....guess maybe I thought they would retire last year.

 I love using them but always forget I have them.

These boxes use some leftover DSP from last year and I just added the Owl & punched out Cat and the sentiment. I filled these boxes with Reese's Peanut Butter Miniatures that actually match the Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black that is in the DSP.

Project Details:

Stamps: Spooky Cat Bundle

Ink: Basic Black

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP

Accessories: Classic Label Punch, Cat Punch, Pizza Boxes, Ribbon, Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Always fun to whip these up!

Have you made any Halloween treats yet?

I have more but won't share them until after my World Card Making Day next Saturday.

My stamp friends are coming to get creative that day!

Can't wait!

My thoughts today....

It's all about football for us!

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy this gorgeous day!

No Tricks.....Just Treats

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday it got awfully hot & humid.

Then around supper time the line of thunderstorms came thru!

They were some wicked looking skies, too!

I kept my house closed up and the AC rolling.

Today I have another treat bag for Halloween to share.

It is the 3 X 6 Gusseted Cello Bags and if you notice I found some really cool wrapped York Peppermint Patties at my local grocery store that matched the Gorgeous Grape color!

I don't know about you but I love York Peppermint Patties and when I seen these in the Gorgeous Grape & Basic Black foil wrappers....I was SO happy! They look like they are ready for Trick or Treat Night! I love when these candy companies change up their wrappers for different holidays!

Certainly makes my job easier!

Project Details:

Stamps: Spooky Sweet, Spooky Cat (retired)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Toil & Trouble DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombiw Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These are packed up and ready to head to my customers house in a few weeks.

Those ladies love their treats and I enjoy making them!

Halloween Box

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Another rainy day here in PA. 

I guess it's a great day if your a duck!

I suppose I will be happy about it since we all got to sleep in this morning! Shawn included.

The last several days have been stressful and sleepless so the cloudy, dreary weather helped us to stay in bed longer and get that much needed rest.

We survived Ryan's procedure yesterday. All went very well.

I cannot say enough about his doctor! Absolutely ONE in a MILLION!

He took such good care of Ry and being that we have to travel almost an hour to see this doctor, he really makes it all worth it with his kind heart & compassion! 

2 biopsies were done to look for Celiac Disease and one for a small ulcer.

No cancers, tumors or polyps were found.

Diagnosis: Gastritis.

Kelsey also has this so she knows the pain & sickness that comes with it.

Today is a new day of learning to deal with one more thing on our lists.

I have one with Diverticulitis (Shawn) and one now with Gastritis and learning to prepare foods for them will be a real joy! We may have to revert to eating scrambled eggs for every meal! LOL

Doctor suggested a low residue diet for Ryan while Shawn is on a high fiber diet.

I am lost in between....

I have to tell you a funny from yesterday.

We were paged to go to Ryan's recovery room shortly after he came from the OR.

He was wide awake and happy to see us.

He looked at me and said....

Your next Mom!

Haha....we all got a laugh from that!

Yes, I am long over due for a colonoscopy and have been hiding from it.

Shawn had his at 49 and Ryan had his at 31. I am 52 and want no part of it!

So anyways....it's a new day and I was suppose to get my house cleaned today but Shawn is home and Ryan is still sleeping and I hate to wake him. 

I am going to share another Halloween Treat Box that I made with the Toil & Trouble DSP.

It is the same as the one I shared last week that Angie Juda created.

As you can see I used the witches paper on this one.

Gorgeous Grape is the cardstock color. It's perfect for Halloween!

This box will go to Kelsey with either a few bucks inside or a gift card along with candy,

Project Details:

Stamps: Spooky Cat (retired)

Ink: Momento Black, Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Basic Black, Toil & Trouble DSP

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon, Glue Dots, Clip from Micheals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Here is the link if your interested in making this style of box.

They are fun and really do hold quite a bit.

Yes indeed!

Happy Halloween

Hello & Happy Monday!

Did y'all have a nice weekend?

Our weather wasn't the nicest but Sunday afternoon turned out pretty nice!

We packed up the bikes and headed out for a quick bike ride to take advantage of nice weather but there was definitely a cool breeze blowing!

Today I want to share a quick card that we made at my stamp get together with the girls. I loved using the witch's hat in the Spooky Cat stamp set!

Witch's Hat Card:

Stamps: Spooky Cat

Ink: Basic Black Archival, Pumpkin Pie SU Marker

Cardstock: Very Vanilla Thick, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP

Accessories: Black Crochet Ribbon, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Quick & fun!

That would be scary!! LOL

That's all for today!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday I sat down and worked on my card for the Tuesday Morning Sketches!

I used this week's sketch to create a Halloween card.

Here's the sketch & my card...

I love this paper! It's called Spooky Night DSP and it has some cute images on each sheet! I've already used a bunch of it on Halloween Treats that I will be sharing soon.

Did you notice the black rhinestones on the one close-up image? They are new from Stampin Up this year and are part of their Halloween Suite!

Happy Halloween Card:

Stamps: Spooky Cat (sentiment)

Ink: Basic Black

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP

Accessories: Sparkle EF, Banner Punch (flag ends), Corner Rounder, 1/8 Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My little tag is popped up with dimensionals and so is my sentiment banner.

I wanted to let the paper shine on this so I added my sentiment to the bottom of my tag.

Hope you can stop by the Tuesday Morning Sketches and play along this week!

Have I said how much I love their sketches?

********************************************

My thoughts today...

We've had a good bit of rain in the last week or so.

Today is to be a nice day filled with sunshine!

I am off to the doctor's later and hopefully we can squeeze a bike ride in afterwards.

Trying to take advantage of the beautiful sunny weather while we can!

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a sunshine-y day, too!
