Halloween Hoot Card

Halloween just makes me smile!





I know I have been making a lot of Halloween cards, But the new "In Color's" are great Halloween Colors.. Don't you think?? I know the Witch looks like its stamped in Concord crush... but its just an old black ink. I was at Terry's studio making this card and I did not have my new black with me. I did stamp the sign, cut it out and put it on with Dimensionals. I don't think you can really see it in the Picture, but on the Witch I put two super mini Jewels on her wort's I found these at Walmart in the makeup section they are jewels for finger nails.. so so tiny and the stick real good.

Jar of Stamps



I have this stamp set "Shapes and Shadows" that I had lost some of the stamps to and I was trying to sell it but no luck. So one day I bought this jar at a garage sale for .25 cents. Then went home made a tag with the stamp set and added some scrap ribbon I had around ... and here it is!! I think it turned out cute. I put it down at my booth at Viking Village for 4.99. Why not decorate with stamps.. this jar would be so cute in a family room or would make a really nice gift.

Thanks for looking my Friends
Love Ya!!

Wicked Cool Card



I was so Happy to use the "Wicked Cool" set, one of my new Favorites from the Catalog. I wanted to use the New DS Paper and I just love the spooky tree paper with the bats. I cut the bats and a part of the tree from the paper. I know I went a little crazy with the glitter but I could not help myself, I wanted the tree to be spooky but sparkle too.

The New Stampin Up Jewels look great! Love how they sparkle!! You can also see one of the bats that I cut out of the DS paper.




When Stamping the web make sure to stamp-off the basic gray once. All the background paper is the DS paper.

Long Fellows Card

New Level 2 Hostess Set... Long Fellows.. Gotta have it!
With a 300.00 Party you get it for Free!




Today I decided to just make a birthday card. I have not made a card with the new hostess set "Long Fellows" (pg 13). I am using the new-old colors Baja breeze and Pacific point I love those colors! I did not have any matching ribbon so I made my own. Just take a sponge dauber and hold it onto the ribbon while you pull the ribbon across the ink pad, it is fast and easy. You do have to let it dry unless you want to get ink on your fingers... I could not wait.. lol My picture shows the whole set so you can see how cute the other animals are.

Pink Baby Bundle Card



I really don't make much baby cards, with my kids being 21, 12 and 8 I really don't have a lot of friends having baby's. But I made this card for Terry Su's display boards that she is updating with all the new stuff in the Catalog. Terry Su made a boy card in blue and I made this one in pink. I dyed the ribbon myself, its the vanilla 1/8 ribbon in the catalog and I used a sponge dauber and Blushing bride ink pad. It was fun to make, I am thinking I just might make some for my booth at Viking Village... OH yeah BTW I sold 22 cards last month at my booth there!! Yeah!!
