Holiday Blog Tour - Day 3

Today's project is made using the #2 Box die from Sissix. I love the ease of putting this one together. You only use sticky tape on the side seam. The box is made so that the bottom is self locking! Woo Hoo! The inspiration for this one came straight from the Holiday Mini! I embossed the little Skeleton (from Twick or Tweet) with black embossing powder. The candy inside was amazingly good - Corn Candy flavored taffy. And it was fresh--not break your teeth hard! Yummy! The designer paper that is in the lid of the box is from our new "Night and Day" Designer paper, also in the Mini catalog. So many possibilities there!

Holiday Blog Tour - Day 2

Welcome Back! Today I have chosen a Halloween goodie to share with you. It is made from the new product, Sweet Treat Cups, using the new stamp set, "Sweet Centers". This is such a cool product! The little cup is about 1/2 inch deep and you actually can put treats--candy, buttons,coins, etc. in the little cup and then attach it to your card, or in my case, I just made it into a Trick or Treat giveaway. These would be cute with popsickle sticks attached too! I used Versa Mark and black embossing powder for this one. My granddaughters loved it! I am so sad that this year there will be no candy allowed at the school's Halloween party--only healthy food, and prepackaged at that. No homemade goodies allowed. Sigh. But on a bright note - the Brownies haven't said that yet! lol

Holiday Blog Tour Begins!

Woo Hoo! I am so excited! We have been preparing for a while now to welcome you to our Holiday Blog tour. There are so many new and exciting stamp sets, papers, dies, etc on the new Holiday Mini Catalog! I think my favorite is the new ornament punch and the "Delightful Decorations" stamp set that goes with it. I love the new Sparkle and Shine wheel too--makes a great background for the ornament set. And since this is my favorite set, this is the card that I am sharing with you today! Those ornaments just begged for dazzling diamonds glitter! It doesn't show real well in the picture, but I used the a texture plate on the top note. I looks nice in real life.

More Halloween

Today I am posting another of the items that we made in my Halloween Treats class. I love the spooky sky in the Owl in the Tree Basket. The basket was made from the Fancy Favor Die. I used the piece that was left from cutting the jagged edge to make the handle! I found purple and white corn candy (blackberry flavor) to put in the basket!!! Actually, I bought the candy first, because my son-in-law loves blackberries. So I bought it, planning on giving it to him for Halloween--guess I will be going back to the store to find him another bag, as we used almost all of this one to fill our baskets in class! Anyway, the stamp set that I used was "House of Haunts", which is one of my all time favorite Halloween sets. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Halloween is Coming!

We had our Halloween Treats class last night and I love what we made. The one I am showing you today is my favorite. The pattern was on the Stampin Up website for demonstrators, and I just added a few little things to it. It is a treat holder that holds two miniature candy bars. I used the funsize - have you noticed that the size has shrunk? They are skinnier than they used to be.

Just 5 more days till our Holiday Mini Blog Tour! There will be several of the Remarkable Stampers participating, and we will each have new samples daily from the new Holiday Mini Catalog! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

For All You Do

I am sorry that I have been absent for so long. Seems like I just can't get caught up. But now the garden is gone, and I am preparing for my fall classes, as you can see from the list on the right with the PayPal buttons!(Thank you Mary Ann for doing that for me!) What a great stamp set this is! (For All You Do) We were given this set on our incentive trip to Hawaii in March. I thought it was time to dust it off and use it again. It makes such great Thank You cards! I loved adding all the brads to this one! The technique used to get the polka dots on the flower is called Kissing. You ink up the polka dot stamp with a darker color than the color you ink the flower in. Then "Kiss" the flower stamp to the polka dot stamp, and then when you stamp it on your card stock, the flower is dotted! How cool is that! The little punch out flowers were made using the Trio Flower punch. I just wanted to share this card with you before I move on to fall posts. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping!
