Here's another Halloween card – using oval and circle punches for pumpkins!  If you use our Woodgrain embossing folder, you'll get the veined look on the pumpkins!    I twirled the pumpkin stems on a toothpick.  The clouds are made from our cupcake builder punch.

UPDATE – The stamps include our WHEELS too!!!!

Here is my second spooktacular sale card!  Did you know we have a new stamp pad called Illuminate Glimmer Watermark?  You can find this on page 23 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  It is perfect for a night sky or a scary pumpkin face!  The illuminated pumpkin faces in the background remind me of my favorite Halloween movie – It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  I'd sit with Linus in the pumpkin patch; wouldn't you?

 P.S.  The bat is made using our new butterfly punch.  Punch one butterfly out of a scrap piece of paper, and then using the punched out piece, punch the bottom half of it again for this whimsical bat.  Add a gem for a little sparkle!

I really don't want the Halloween season to end because that would mean I would have to put away one of my all-time favorite stamp sets – Googlie Ghouls.  Oh, how I have loved this stamp set since it was introduced in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here is one of my favorite cards made with this set -

I used the Web embossing folder with some silver shimmer paint in the background. 

For all those in Frankenstorm's path – stay safe.  We are all praying for you!

Bubble Wrap Witchy Poo

Woo Hoo!  It is October!  I love this time of year.  Sadly, gone are the school trips to the pumpkin farms as my boys in middle and high school.  We'll still visit a pumpkin farm later this month, but now they can lift their own pumpkin and it doesn't take all day to find just the right one.

At last month's Technique Tuesday class, I taught the bubble wrap background technique.  It is super easy – and you can use any size of bubble wrap.  Just resist the temptation to pop it!

We used a brayer to get the ink on the bubble wrap.  Turn the inked-up bubbble wrap onto card stock and press down. 

Googlie Ghouls is my new favorite Halloween set because I can easily make fun and quick cards!  Here is the card we made:

Label Framelits Tombstone Card

Oh, I couldn't wait to share this card!  We made at my Die Cut Diva Stamp Camp this week.  It is SUPER easy and perfect for a Halloween invitation! 

All you need to do is use our Labels Framelits with your Big Shot and only roll the die about halfway through.  Stop and roll back so as not to send the die completely through the machine.  Trim the edges with your cutter – or scissors if you are confident in your cutting skills .

I spritzed the tombstone using our new Stampin' Spritzer (filled halfway with 90% rubbing alcohol and about 10 drops of Platinum shimmer paint).  It dries very quickly!  Stamp the spider and the Boooo from the Googlie Ghouls stamp set (in the Holiday Mini), and then stamp the bat and cut out and pop up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Add our new striped satin ribbon  (in the Holiday Mini), adhere the pieces, and you are all set.  You could easily add a phrase at the top for an invitation or even stamp RIP with an alphabet set.

VC Rocks July Blog Hop – Daydream Medallions Extras!

I am so excited to be part of the VC Rocks Blog Hop this month.  We are sharing gift and non-card projects.  You probably came from June Reister's blog – www.junescreations.blogspot.com .  If you ever get lost along the way, you can always start at the beginning – www.vcrocks.blogspot.com

One of the stamp sets I ordered for my Sale-A-Bration rewards this year was Daydream Medallions.  It was one of the most expensive stamp sets in the catalog.  Here is the stamp set (it does come with 2 stamp boxes):

This is a great set all by itself, but did you know there are EXTRA parts?  Be careful when you are mounting your stamp set – save all the extra rubber die cuts.  Why you ask?

See those larger three stamps?  They each came with a diecut inside that easily pops out.  Lovely, perfect circles.  DO NOT THROW THESE OUT!  Instead, find some extra blocks and mount those circles.

I have used these circles more than the actual Daydream Medallions stamp set. 

One of the new stamp sets from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog is Googly Ghouls.  I knew I had to have it!  I created a fun little gift tag for a spooktacular treat:

I used Wisteria Wonder card stock and stamped the circles in Wisteria Wonder as well.  I used the Labels Collection Framelits with my Big Shot for the tag.  Then I embossed the Frankenstein, bat, and booo phrase in a mixture of Black and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I covered the top of the beaker with the new ribbon in the Holiday Catalog attached the tag with white Baker's Twine.  I popped up that little bat with a Stampin' Dimensional.  Here's a close-up of the tag:

Another project I created with those fabulous circles is this recipe scrapbook page:

This is the punch I serve at my annual Catalog Pick-Up Party.  It is a crowd pleaser to be sure.  The wine glass stamp is from the new Embellished Events stamp set, and the "cheers!" stamp is from the new Happy Hour stamp set (another favorite of mine).

I hope you've enjoyed this stop on the blog hop.  Karen Gibson's blog – www.kraftingwithkaren.blogspot.com - is your next stop.  Enjoy!

Lovely as a Tree Simple Swipes Card

If you don't have the Lovely as a Tree stamp set in your collection, you are really missing out on a classic!  I believe this is one of the oldest current catalog stamp sets available.  This stamp set is one of my go-tos when it comes to techniques!

At February's Technique Tuesday, I taught the Simple Swipes technique – oh so easy with a great watercoloring effect!

I used Soft Suede, Wild Wasabi, and Marina Mist watercolor crayons and my AquaPainter to achieve this landscape effect.  I'll be making up a bunch of these to swap at Milwaukee Regionals.

Ornate Blossom Thanksgiving Card

I love this stamp, but sometimes get stumped on using it.  Here is one of the designs I really like – I've attached pearls on the dots and continued the theme on the bottom.
