A fall 'Peaceful Noel'

 Check out the fall card I made using the 'Peaceful Noel' stamp set!!  This set sure doesn't have to be a Christmas card at all!

And I also used the awesome 'Buffalo Check' background stamp!!  It is just such a wow!!  It is so on trend & so cool!!  It can go with almost any style of card & for any occasion!  It is a must have!!  If you don't have it, be sure you add it to your wish list!
This is a center fold card & opens up like this.  

Check out how I decorated the inside of it too!!

Are you wondering where did the pine cones come from?  They are in the 'Making Every Day Bright' stamp set.  And I used the coordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch to punch them out.  Now that is pretty cool huh!!

Spooky little Pumpkin!

Look at this cute little spooky pumpkin!!!

Look how I did the face on this pumpkin!!!  I am so excited about it, as I think he is super cute!!

I was cutting out Black Foil Spider Webs & pushing out the (negative) pieces that normally I'd just throw away. But I got to looking at those pieces & decided that they would make an adorable face for my spooky little pumpkin box.

What is the box?  It is from the Takeout Treats Thinlits Dies in the Holiday Catalog on pg. 50.  This box is the perfect size to add a little treat to & give to someone special.

There is a coordinating stamp set that goes with this framlits too......so be sure you check it out.  It has stars, hearts & more in this set!  
Here I'm cutting out the spider webs using my Black Foil paper.
Here is what the pieces look like when you push them out of the web.
And here is my spooky little pumpkin.  I added an Old Olive Leaf & Black Glitter Organdy ribbon to the top of it.  

card stock:
  • Pumpkin Pie- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- cut out 2 of the Box pieces
  • Old Olive- 1 1/2" strip to punch out leaf for top of pumpkin 
  • Black Foil- 2 3/4" strip to use Spider Web from to cut & use the reverse images for the face of the pumpkin
other:  Takeout Thinlits Dies; dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tear & Tape
+++++++++
I have a super busy weekend full of LOTS of stamping!!

Last night I had one of my monthly stamp classes at our home.
I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock when everyone went home.  
This morning I'm up early to cut more card stock. 
And I'm having one of my monthly stamp classes here at our home.
This afternoon I'm having one of my Annual Halloween Treats Classes.
And tonight I'll be burning the midnight oil cutting more card stock.
Tomorrow morning I'll leave early & head to Hiawatha for my morning & afternoon monthly classes there. 
And then tomorrow night I'm having my other Annual Halloween Treats Class in Hiawatha!
WOW.......6 stamp classes in 2 1/2 days. 
I can't wait to see everyone joining me & spend our time together stamping!  

Gotta run.....

A spooky haunted house!

Is this house now more spooky?
I colored the windows & the shutters using my Stampin' Blends!
And then I added this cute little ghost too!
Oh & I changed the color of the house!
 So when I started cutting card stock last night for this card.......I decided I would add a little more to it.  

You can see the other one that I posted a few days ago BY CLICKING HERE!
I think they are both cute!
Which one do you like better?
I think that this one is a little more spooky for Halloween!
That little ghost just makes me smile.
I had a hard time trying to decide where I wanted to put him. 
I thought he was a little more proportioned coming out the window in the middle of the card instead of the chimney or one of the trees on the other side of the house, as those windows are too close to the tree & the moon.  


I added some Wink of Stella too to the windows & the ghost!  You can't have too much shimmer can you?

Spooky & Spiders!

I have to be honest.....when I first saw the 'Making Every Day Bright' stamp set I wasn't thrilled about it.  The more I got to looking at it I saw lots of possibilities.  You all know I'm a punch girl- so it is very cool that it coordinates with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch.  

This card is cute!!  I love the little spiders I added to coordinate with the Light Bulb Spider Web.  The little spiders & the Spooky words are from my September Paper Pumpkin kit.  I stamped the little spiders & then used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to draw the dangles. 

Look in the upper left corner & check out the cute Spider Trinket!  And the Spider web I made out of Vellum using the Cauldron Framelits Dies.  

So this is another one of the cards that everyone will be making at my Halloween Treats classes this coming weekend!  

stamp sets: 'Making Every Day Bright' & 'September Paper Pumpkin'
card stock: 
  • Pumpkin Pie- 4 1/4 x 11" (score at 5 1/2" & fold in half for card base); 1 1/2" strip (to punch out Light Bulbs)

  • Smoky Slate- 4 1/2 x 3 1/4"
  • Basic Black- 5 x 3 3/4'; 1/2" strip (for light bulb ends); 2 3/4 x 1 1/2"(to layer SPOOKY words)

Spooky house?

Is this a spooky house?  I am not sure is really spooky, but it sure is cute!!

This is one of the cards that everyone will make next weekend at my Annual Halloween classes.  I used the 'Farmhouse Christmas' bundle!  And WOW- check out the fence!  It is super cool!  And it was so easy to cut out!  I was just amazed & really thrilled!

There is alot of sparkle that is showing up on this card.  I didn't realize that I had that much on it, but it sure shows up in this photo.  I sprayed on some of my Champagne Shimmer/Rubbing Alcohol mix on it to make is have some glimmer. 
I went with a non traditional Halloween color for this card.  I thought this night time/star DSP from the Twinkle Twinkle DSP was cool, so made the card base Night of Navy to coordinate with it.

Is it a spooky Owl?

This is a very non-traditional Halloween card.  But this owl from the 'Still Night' stamp set is soooo cute I just could resist!!  

This is a card that everyone coming to my Halloween Treats classes will be making.  

I used the 'Itty Bitty Greetings', so everyone at the class can personalize it to something other than Halloween if they want.  Wouldn't this make a great guy card!
Check out how I used some vellum for the moon in the background!  And I also used my Champagne Shimmer (with rubbing alcohol) spray on the entire card to add some sparkle!
