Happy Halloween!

This was my favorite card I made for Halloween. It was for an upscale swap group I belong to. It has a bunch of layers and uses my favorite skeleton from Pick your Poison. The skeleton was embossed using the pewter ep and he really shines! And I think the embossed spider web in the back really adds to the card!

Hope you all have a wonderful day today and stay safe! Happy Stamping!!

Skeleton Treat

Like I said I had to have this set for this Skeleton, he is just too cool. This was another card I made for the mini catalog swap. It's a little hard to tell but if you click on the picture you will see that the black piece is embossed using the spider web embossing folder. It really gives that extra touch to the card. I have also embossed speckles of glitter around the card to give a bit of sheen. Happy Stamping!!

Pick your Poison

The first set I HAD to have out of the mini catalog was the set Pieces of Poison mostly because of the awesome skeleton but I really liked the whole set. Here is one of the cards I made with the poison saying as the focal point.

This was a card I created for a Holiday Mini swap over at Stampin' Addicts. (Just now getting time to share it.) Ir's pretty simple, I used the spider in the background and then cut out using my bigshot the lattice and the top note. Yup that's the top note I just cut it once then turned it and re-cut it again to give it a different shape. Pretty cool huh?! I think it makes for a cool poison label. I also used a bit of the quilted ribbon too.

I really liked this version but wondered what it would look like if I turned it on it's side.

I think this one looks pretty cool too! Not sure which one I like best ... Happy Stamping!

16 Really?!?

Happy 16th Birthday Philip! I can't believe that my oldest is turning 16 today?!?! I swear it was just yesterday I was taking him home from the hospital. Now he's learning to drive and I have to look up to yell at him. When did all this happen?

I thought since it was his 16th Birthday I would make him a super cool card! This one sure is and maybe a bit over the top! Of course since he's 16 nothing's cool or at least admitting it especially to his Mom. I used the skeleton from Pieces of Poison since he likes skulls almost as much as I do. I stamped the birthday saying into several layers of the pewter ep to get the metal tag effect and I made the tags with old pewter hodgepodge hardware I have had stashed. I really like how it came together especially with using the silver glitter paper. Happy Stamping!!

ETA: My son loved his card said it was BA which in teenager speak means it was pretty cool. He was excited to have a skeleton on his card but thought the birthday was awesome!

Pumpkin Creme Pie

I haven't shared any recipe swaps in awhile and these are one of my favorite projects to do!! This is one of the few I made for a convention recipe swap I hosted at Stampin' Addicts Meet and Greet. One of the stipulations was we had to make it using My Digital Studio and let me tell you how fun it was to use this program to make the swaps!! Easy peasy! AND the quality you get back from the printer rocks!

This recipe is for Pumpkin Creme Pie and I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman. I love her recipes!! As well as the rest of her website!

Spooky Fancy Favor

As you all know I just love my big shot!! The projects are always easy to put together and they look great!Here is the fancy favor die used for a super cute and easy Halloween treat. I actually did this box at a workshop I had about a month back and the ladies all loved it! I used Wicked Cool stamp set to decorate the the box. I also used the perfect pennants die and decorative label punch to add a bit of color to the project. The spooky saying was embossed with the wild wasabi ep and a cool side effect was it embossed a bit of the web giving this really cool two tone effect! Happy Stamping!!
