Happy Halloween "BOO" Card!!!!


This halloween card was quick and easy. When you open the card BOO! pops out at you.
I used "House of Haunts" stamp set. The Designer paper that I used was Kiwi Kiss.
Book a party with me so that I can show you how do make some of these halloween treasures.

Halloween Clipboard

I hope you can see this as I don't feel the picture does it justice. But this is a clipboard that I use and placed Ghostly Greetings Designer Paper on it. On the tangerine tango cardstock I use the "Batty For You" Jumbo Roller. Summer Sun cardstock is at the top with "Tableau of Terror" stamped on it. Ribbons with halloween colors were tied to the clip to add to the finished look!

Kit Kat Wapper

Another Stampin' Up demonstrator made this ordinary candy bar the life of the party! You can
do this with any designer paper and give it as a gift.
You will need:
1.5oz kit kat bar (buy two, you know you're gonna wanna eat one)
Stamp set: Batty For You
Ink: Basic Black, Bashful Blue marker
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Ghostly Greetings Designer Paper
Misc: Black gingham, crimper, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, crimper, snail, demensionals

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween...........


How about this cute Frankie card?! There are no rubber stamps used. Only punches and the wonderful Big Shot die cut machine.
This is a quick fun one to make. Anyone would love to get this in the mail. You could also use this on the out side of a treat bag.
More great ideas to come.

Carmel Apple Sucker Bouquet


When I was at the Dollar Tree I saw these cute ceramic containers for a dollar. I stated thinking about how I could use the "Batty for You" rubber stamp. So I stamped "Batty For You" on some white cardstock. With the coordinating cardstock I punched out the scallop circle. On some of the suckers I used googly eyes.

Inside the ceramic container I place some floral arranger. This is what I pushed the suckers into to hold them in place.

I also used dumb dumbs and other Halloween suckers to fill in the gaps. In the front I used some Halloween Ribbon.

What a inexpensive way to share a Halloween Treat with your friends and family?

Prettiest Flower Card



On this card I have used the Prettiest Flower Kit. When I was making it I mounted all the designer paper together and then I punched holes in the paper and theaded my ribbon through. After that I mounted all of the paper on the card stock so that when you open the card you don't see the holes.
