Stamp Time Somewhere

#tgifc182 Inspiration Challenge - Halloween

 Hello, and happy Friday! Hope that you are having a good week. As usual, we have another busy weekend ahead! So glad I got the chance to do lots of stamping this week! Did you get a chance to create? Whether you did or didn't, this week's TGIF Challenge is a good place to start!

   I loved the pretty black & white color scheme, so I decided to work with that and the pumpkins.

 I adore the Buffalo Check stamp!!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this one sticks around after the Holiday catalog. I'm also totally smitten with the Tin Tile Embossing folder, and I think it makes the cutest pumpkin!!!

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.

PCC311 Paper Craft Crew Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Trick or Tweet

 Hi there! Welcome back!!! It's a gorgeous day here in Las Vegas, and it's hard to stay inside, however I have a LOT of stamping to do!!! So much going on in the next few weeks! I was able to get this cute card done for this week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge in all of my crafting craziness!

  This bright color challenge screamed Halloween for me, and even though I don't usually do Halloween cards (usually just treats and decor) I couldn't help but play with these cut little guys!

  I think that they are ADORABLE!!! Once again I had some fun coloring with my Stampin' Blends. These really are such a valuable tool to have in your craft room. They truly elevate your coloring!

  I did do a little masking in order to group the animals together. I stamped the Dog and Cat on the Thick Whisper White cardstock, and then again on a sticky-note. I cut out the images that were on the sticky notes, and placed them over the stamped images for my card. Then I was able to stamp the Elephant and made him look like he was just behind them.

PCC306 Sketch Challenge - I paired WHAT???

   Hello!!! Happy Wednesday! Hope that you are having a great week! I have been so busy this week, getting stuff sorted and sent out from my RETIRED ITEMS STAMP SALE on my FB page! I've so a lot, but there is still SOOOO much there. I'll also be posting a few more things this week! I've also been trying to get ahead a little on my stamping projects, as I will be having my second hip surgery this coming Friday! First up was this fun Paper Craft Crew sketch!

   This card is a little different for me - I used Designer Series Paper - lots of it. I admit, I sometimes struggle pairing things with the patterns, despite how well coordinated and easy Stampin' Up! makes it. Take a peek at today's though:

 I thought it would be fun and a little cheeky to cut these two little witches out of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper (available TODAY in the NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG!!!) and have them be friends. When I went looking for the perfect friend sentiment though, I was a little surprised that I found just what I was looking for in the Animal Outing stamp set!!! Who would have thought. Not only was the sentiment perfect, but there is a sweet little line image that worked great for adding some detail to my strip of Gorgeous Grape card stock.

Just to make things a little easier for you, here is a list of supplies that I used for this card. I am so grateful when you choose me as your Demonstrator!

Fancy Friday!!! Treats not Tricks!!!

 Welcome back to Fancy Friday! We thought this month we could share some QUICK Halloween treats, being as it's tomorrow and all!!! I decided to make a quick box using the Gift Bag Punch Board and some Oval Framelits.

 I added a little sponging around the ovals to add some depth to the pumpkin, but if you were really in a hurry you could totally leave it off. Fill this thing up with chocolate and you are good to go!

 

Head on over to my Fancy girl friend the fabulous Mrs. Jennifer Timko and check our her fancy take on this month's challenge!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Before you go, if you have a moment, please check out a fundraiser I am holding for a friend of mine battling breast cancer - HERE (will open in a separate window so you can easily continue the hop)

One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Halloween and Fall

 

  

Hi there! 

I'm back with another One Stamp At A Time - stamp along challenge for this month's blog hop! Let's see some Halloween and Fall!

I've really been having a lot of fun creating Fall and Halloween projects this year. I think Stampin' Up! brought us some great products! This has a very "Fall" feel for Halloween. I love the mix of the texture and vintage feel combined with the shimmer and glimmer! TIP: Create the most awesome Spider Web Doily ever by covering it in Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder - it's GORGEOUS!

 

It was so much fun putting all the little details in this!

 

Can you believe that I thought I wasn't going to need the Square Pillow Box die?!?! This thing is FABULOUS. TIP: To create the longer box, cut 4 of the dies. You'll then want to cut 1" off of each one at the end. They're joined with the "belly band". If you need any of the items I used in this project, you can always get them HERE

Please make sure to visit everyone in the hop - you will see so many creative ideas. Make sure to give some comment love...

Your next stop is my sweet, funny, baseball loving, talented friend Marisa Gunn!

Want to see a few more Halloween card ideas?

Well, you are going to to if you keep reading! LOL

This is such a cute card! I love that it was made by my friend Hilary who started coming to my classes when our "middle guys" were just our "little guys". Over the years she has become a really great friend. She has a great eye for combining Designer Papers and can SERIOUSLY COLOR!!!!

This one was made by my team member and friend Michelle. She even won "most demonstratable" card at Jill's stamping even in St. George

This one was created by my friend Sandy Wingate. She always does cute things with little images!  I LOVE this card!

Tomorrow is our weekly MDS Blog Hop! Make sure you check back to see what fun theme we have planned for you!

More Halloween Projects

Last week I showed you 4 of the EIGHT projects we made at my Halloween "Monster Muchies" stamp camp. It was a lot of fun! Maybe tomorrow I will show you a few photos of the girls being silly "modeling" the projects :) I told them that we were making 6, but I just kept going!!!

I've seen these brooms flying around on a few blogs, and knew it would be a great project. One of the things that I love is that if you buy a package of 1"x8" cello bags, a package of Designer Paper, you can make 50 of these brooms! Just cut the Designer Paper to 12"x2 1/4". Quick and easy.

This was quick and easy, but I had the girls use a scallop circle for the mustard layer. Can you see that darling little owl? He's stamped in StazOn on the cello bag....

We also made this cute little Witch's boot. Not a new idea, but still SO FUN! I loved putting the brighter colors on :) I made it into a box to hold candy of course!

Last but not least my take on Janet Baker's tic tac holders made from the Two Tags die. I didn't have the stamp set that she used to make the faces, so I just used a sharpie marker... I think they turned out just fine :)

Okee dokee - hope you have a great day!

Don't forget that you can purchase all of your Stampin' Up! supplies on-line anytime!

A few cute Stampin' Up! Halloween projects

I actually have quite a few I could share with you, but I thought I would share some that we made at my last stamp camp. Now I can tell you that most of these were inspired by projects I saw on-line or from friends... but we had an AWESOME time. This was my first time that I offered a class where you bought the stamp set with the class, I even had a "by mail" option and I must say it worked out great!

Now this cute soda bottle tag I have to admit, I made at my friend Julie Davidse's house. BUT I added the ribbon and googlie eyes.

Cute little "sour cream container" made with a 4.25"x5.5" piece of Vellum Cardstock and embossed with the Chevron embossing folder. There were yummy little candy corn salt water taffies in there...mmmm.....added a quick little tag. TIP - I layered Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight on a strip of Whisper White, embossed it with the Houndstooth folder for some whimsy, and punched it out with the Pennant Punch

I LOVE this darling little box. I made the Petite Purse "upside down", the cut lengthwise accross the bottom so that it looked more like a Frankie Head shape. I added a piece of Basic Black for the hair line and just randomly cut his hair. TIP: To make the little tag, I folded the handle in half, glued it together and then glued it inside the box for a stand...I added little "bolts" to the side of his head by just sandiching the cardstock inbetween the "legs" of a black brad.

EEEEKKKKK! OHEMGEEEEEE! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my little Mummy. He is actually Rolos! I wrapped him once in a length of the Cotton Ribbon, then I tore a length of ribbon down the middle so it was all raggedy and wrapped him once in that. The eyes are the eyes from the owl punch. TIP: I use a toothpick with just a TINY amount of Tombow glue on the end for the eyes. Like my 8 year old says with the glue, " dot, dot, not a lot, too much glue will make you blue" LOL

I hope you enjoy these little projects and they inspire you to create some of your own. If you need any supplies, please go to my website, ANY TIME day or night. If you have ANY questions I am just an email away!
