Halloween Stamp Club - Repeat

I posted this a while back, but since we are so close to Halloween, I wanted to share it with you one more time.....

This card was created for my ladies totally, totally inspired by a box of absolutely fabulous new products that I received in the mail from Stampin' Up!

When I saw the witches boots and tights in the stamp set "Wicked Cool" Page 23 I knew I had to order it and of course I had to order the coordinating ribbon......

Now what's Halloween without a few bats and an owl? I had to order our fabulous new Bitty Bat punch and Two Step Owl punch......

I created a notch for the owl to sit on, so that he stands up when the card opens.

One of the things that surprised me was the reaction my ladies had to using our new clear stamps, the loved them and were genuinely impressed with how well they stamped. If you think you know how clear stamps stamp, think again - Stampin' Up! have hit the jackpot once again.

I've already switched to clear stamps and after the original investment of the clear blocks, I'm now looking forward to huge savings when I order stamps, since they are a lot less expensive and I'm already loving how easy they are to store in their unified DVD size boxes - Fabulous!

Thank you stamp club for giving me a reason to have so much fun being creative with all my wonderful new "toys".

Sweet Centers Halloween

These are the cards my children are giving their teachers last year. If you pull on the little handle, then there is a window on the inside of the card that slides up to give access to the candy without having to take the entire card apart.

I love these sweet treat cups - they're really inexpensive. I'll have a fun Holiday idea for you to use these for Christmas, so make sure you stop by.

I even love using the empty packaging for fun projects when you've used up all the little cups.

Francinestien

I know I show her to you every year, but I just couldn't resist showing her to you again - You'll need a Big Shot and the Top Note Die for this one.

We had to name our little friend below Francinestien because she has pink hair.

This is so much fun to make and sooooo simple - isn't she cute?

Fall or Halloween Owls

Big Shot and the ever flexible Top Note Die

These are just too much fun not to show you!

Halloween Treat Collection

I'll try to make this my last post using Batty For you - well for a few minutes anyway!

Summer Mini 2010 is coming to an end!

Isn't this a fun way to use your empty treat cup box? If you've ordered either our round or heart shaped treat cups you'll know that the box they come in is just tooooo "posh" to just throw away, you can't resist turning it into something.......

Remember when I turned it into a snowman last winter?

I love this stamp set, it reminds me of times past and all the fun travel adventures we've had over the years. If you love it too, don't forget this is the last week to order it from our Summer Mini - The Summer Mini ends with August, so don't forget to take one last look and make sure you don't miss out on all the items that will retire with that mini.

Pocket Treats

I couldn't believe how simple these treat pockets were to make as teacher gifts. I just had to show my ladies how to make them.

Using a 6 x 6" pieces of our new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper for the pockets and 3 1/2 x 3" pieces to wrap our mini treats shows a great way to show off any designer series paper. We have some fabulous Halloween paper coming in our Holiday Mini (Sept 1st), just imagine giving them out to your favorite trick or treaters this year..... Don't forget to add a Bitty Bat to the treat using our fun new punch.

Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set has a wish for every event, including Halloween and Christmas, what I love best is that you can punch them out with our word window punch and layer them with our modern label punch.

Ooooh, I forgot to mention that there is delicious Christmas paper coming up in the Holiday Mini too, so Holiday gifts will be a breeze.

Personally I'm looking forward to making these to put on my Mom's pillow each night when she comes to stay, I may even find some chamomile tea to put in one :-)

Happy Birthday Shirley

Shirley is one of the founding members of our Stamp Club, we've been meeting for over six years now and today is Shirley's Birthday -HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Shirley.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending time with Shirley, helping her pick out her Birthday gift from her dear husband, she's been itching to get the Big Shot and so together we picked out all the things she'd need to get started, along with a few other "toys" that she couldn't resist, Shirley's order qualified her to be her own hostess and so she also received a free Hostess stamp set and $15 free to choose anything she wanted from the catalog.

Thank you Shirley for choosing me to help you make this special purchase - your loyalty to my products and your friendship to our family means the world to me.

New Level 1 Hostess Set

Some of my favorite creations are inspired by special people....
A dear friend lost her Mom this summer. She inspired me to create this card to let her know I was thinking of her.
