Creep It Real

Hi to all of you!  Well I have one more Halloween share with you.  This cute idea was shown on the Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Facebook site by Maryann Hayslip, so many talented demonstrators share ideas there, luck for the rest of us!!

One shared this cute idea and I liked it so well, that I had to get this set on my order, knowing in the future this will make a cute treat for my grandson to share when he get in school.

After I stamped the image, I fussy cut the image out and then with a Exacto knife made slits to slide the toothbrushes in behind the image.

Here is what was used:

Stamp set: Creep It Real

Card stock: Thick Whisper White

Inks: Peekaboo Peach, Berry Burst, Real Red, Cucumber Crush, Tempting Turquoise and Marina Mist

Cello bags: 1" x 8"-SU-Retire

Toothbrushes: from Wal-Mart, you get 6 for $1.00

Thank you for dropping in, see you soon.  Mary

Spooky Fun

This is the last Halloween card that I will share and I do believe I saved the best for last!

Last year Stampin' Up! came up with some Framelits called, Sliding Star, which you used two of the framelits for sliders.  I decided to keep them because I knew in the future I could use them.  I also kept the Halloween Scene Edgelits for cards for the future, so glad I did!

I found a card similar to this one on Pinterest, just changing it slightly, thanks Susan Best for sharing your creation.

I made two of these cards, one each for my two daughters.  I think they will like them!!

Here is what I used:

Stamp sets: Spooky Fun and Halloween Scene-both are retired

Card stock: Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight and Basic Black

Glossy Card stock

Inks: Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Memento Black

Sponges

Now onto maybe some Fall cards or some more Christmas one, decisions decisions, lol!  

Have a wonderful day!  Mary

Spooky Bingo Bits with Ghoulish Grunge

Well today is the last, for this week, of Halloween cards.  I still need to make a couple for my daughters and grandson too!

I did use a long retired stamp set called, Spooky Bingo Bits, it has a lot of small cute images that you can use for a card.  At one time SU use to sell a stamp that looked like a Bingo card and they had this set and one for Christmas and one for Spring/Easter too.  I used the Ghoulish Grunge on the background to add some interest to it.  I sponged around the circles to add some color to them.  I cut the Spider Web doily in half and trimmed it just slightly to get the look I wanted to achieve.

Here is what I used:

Card stock: Thick Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant

Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Black Star-on

Spider Web Doilies-retired

Triple Banner punch

1-1/4" Circle Punch

Thanks for coming by and have a great week-end too!  Mary

Jar of Haunts Meets Ghoulish Grunge

Well today I'm going to share my second Halloween card that I made.

For this one I used the Jars of Haunts, love all the cute things you can make with this set, sadly it is retired too.  I did use my Everyday Jars Framelits to cut the jar out with, easy peasy!  Oh and those framelits are a current item in the annual catalog.  What could be better than a jar full of eyes!?!

Here is what I used:

Card stock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant

Ink: Old Olive, Soft Sky, Staz-On Black 

Marker: Old Olive

DSP: retired

Baker's Twine: retired

Candy Dots: retired

I hope the teachers think the cards are spooky and cute!  Have a great day.  Mary

Mr Funny Bones

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?  It's been awhile for me to be here, was very busy the last couple of weeks and have really missed creating and sharing with all of my crafty friends!

My daughter requested three Halloween cards for Wesley's daycare teachers, love that she gives me plenty of time to create them!  So I went in search of some Halloween stamp sets in my craft room.  Sorry to say that all of mine our retired, but I kept them knowing that I would need them someday with a grandchild, for teachers and such.

I followed a card that Amy K. made last year, but changed it up just a bit because I wanted to use the sentiment in the set, "Oh Snap".

I always but the Happy Halloween sentiment on the inside because you can usually tell from the front of the card what it's for!

Here is what I used:

Card stock: Thick Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Gray

DSP: is retired

Candy Dots: retired

Inks: Craft Whisper White and Black Memento

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!  Mary

Belated Halloween Card

Well better late than not at all!  Things have been pretty sad at my house the last 10 days.  We had to send our little girl, Abby, our black Cocker Spaniel across the Rainbow Bridge last Wednesday.  Our little girl had a very fast growing cancer and it had spread to her liver before we found it.  We made her last two months as happy and comfortable as we could.  Our little watch dog is gone and it is so quite in the house now.  We miss her so much.

Now for my quick card share today.  A fellow demonstrator shared this card on a Facebook site and knew it would be perfect for my little grandson.  Thank you Bonnie O'Neil for sharing your cute card!!

I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock.  Also some of the new Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper.  The background is embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder and I used Halloween Night Baker's Twine.  The nose is made with the smallest scallop Framelit.  I'm sorry but I don't remember the size of the circle punches.

Sorry for my being gone for awhile, hope to be back on a regular schedule next week!!  Mary

Halloween Matchbook Holders

The other day, these adorable matchbook holders popped up in my e-mail.  These cute matchbook holders where shared by Angie Pyjas, you can see her video tutorial HERE  On the inside of each matchbook is one little package of Tic Tac which you can find in the candy aisle at Wal-Mart.  Here is a picture of the bag, there are 50 little packages, each package has 4 Tic Tac inside and it cost right around $3.00, so it is a very good deal!!

I once again used the Spooky Fun along with the matching edgelits dies called Halloween Scenes.  I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie card stock along with the Halloween Nights DSP.  I also used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie inks along with Black Memento ink.  I use the 1-3/8" circle punch to punch out the moon with.  I used Tombow glue to secure the DSP onto the card stock.  Here they are closed.

Here is what they look like opened.

These would make cute co-worker gifts to leave on their desk!  

I hope you give these a try, they are so cute and fun to make too!!  Mary

Cookie Cutter Halloween

Today I'm sharing another sneak peek from the new Holiday Catalog with you.  It's a set that goes with a coordinating punch called Cookie Cutter Builder punch.  I've seen these cute little guys made into banners too.

Also in the set is a scarecrow, mummy and a skeleton, with halloween bag, a crow, a bat, a bow tie and Dracula's ears!  The Designer Series Paper is called Halloween Night.  Card stock is Perfect Plum which I used the 2-1/2" circle punch and Smoky Slate.  I used the bat stamp and used Smoky Slate ink to stamp them on the card front.  I use varies markers to color my main image in with.  Pretty easy card to make too!

Thank you for coming by.  Mary

Spooky Fun

Hi everyone I hope you had a wonderful weekend, I sure did!  I finally got into my craft room to clean it and to create some cards too.  I felt so much better after I sorted through some of my older stamp sets to box up for the garage sale we are having next month.

I finally got to play with some of my stamp sets from my pre-order and it was so relaxing too.

For this card I used a stamp set called Spooky Fun and the matching edgelits called Halloween Scenes.  These edgelits could easily be used on their own without the stamp set, makes a really cool scene!  I liked Nadine S. card so much that I CASE'd it, thank you Nadine for sharing your talent with your fellow demo's.  You can see her card HERE.

For card stock I used Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie.  For the ink it was So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, for the moon and Memento Black for the bats, moon and pumpkin faces.  I also used Dapper Denim to sponge the Whisper White background to give it a midnight look.  I made a few stars with my white Gel-Pen-retired.  You can click on the picture to get a closer look of the card.

I'm going to be making more Halloween cards and also starting to make my Christmas cards too!

Have fun today and will see you again Wednesday.  Mary

BOO!!
