The stamp set is now retired, but you could use another image. The moon is cut out of so saffron and sponged 101610 $3.50  whisper white craft ink 101731 $4.25 around it.

SO Stephanie

I have a dear friend that is an attorney and boy she dresses SHARP! She hosted our Girl Scouts party this weekend and I wanted to send her a Halloween Thank you! So I went thru all my cards...found this one and knew it was for her. Isn't it so FANCY? Well that fanciness can come off of the card and be worn. That lil' dracula is a pin. So Stinkin cute! The stamp is from Batty for you116576 $23.95 (MY FAV) from SU! along with the circle 119860 $15.95 and scallop punch 119854 $16.95. It is stamped in Staz-on and then covered in crystal effects 101055 $6.25 ....LOVE that stuff! (The other stamps are now retired, but hey you could always substitute)

Can you believe it.......well, JUST BELIEVE! Stampin UP! just lowered all their printing prices and they are now comparable with Costco! Click Here to find out all the details. I am sooooo in love with the My Digital Studio from SU! Last night I whipped up an adorable 10 page scrapbook for a Christmas present in 15 minutes. Picked it up in one hour at Costco and it is sooo stinkin cute! The first initial price of MDS is $70 but after that all the add-on's are only a couple of dollars and NO shipping...they go right onto your computer. Call me to find out more!

Sooo spooky!

Don't you just get eerie just looking at the card? This is called the soot technique. So fun and simple...NO INK required. Take some glossy paper and hold it over a candle. Take a dry rubber stamp and stamp your image on the soot. Taa-Dah!

Happy Halloween....BOO!

Isn't this idea so stinkin cute???? I had soooo much fun making this card...I really like when you can use a product from SU! in multiple ways. Can you tell which punch I used for the ghost...leave a comment and you could win a prize! I used the oval punch (119855 $15.95) for the pumpkins and sponged (101610 $3.95) the sides. The stitching is made with the White gel pen (105021 $3.95) and the stem is a fancy corner punch that I had laying around. The purple paper is Top Note big die cut (my fav!) (113463 $21.95) I CASED this idea from Dawn.

(Bugs and Kisses 116580 $26.95) Super simple card. The main reason I love stamps over stickers...you can use them over and over and they never run out. I love making patterened paper with stamps for cards and scrapbook pages. See the glitter on the wings.... love the sparkle! SU! has the BESTEST paper and glitter and glue pen. Stop by my online store and get some today!

tooth FAIRY cards

Dawn had made an adorable tin with this Fairy stamp( SU! 119216 $7.95)...so I had to have it. I have some Altoids tins...but I haven't made a cute tin with this stamp yet...but I will. I was just messing around today and here are two cards that I came up with. Creative Card Crew is having a Fairy challenge so I entered it. The sketch is from SCS Wednesday sketch. I wish she was a little bigger so I could add some cute wings...but I will keep playing and hopefully figure it out!

Fall Swap Cards and some Challenges

These are the cards I made for a fall swap with SCS (Split Coast Stampers). You can go there to get a million ideas for any type of papercraft. You can even go to their SU! gallery and look up any SU! stamp set and it will give you hundreds of card ideas for that particular stamp set.

Cute Card Thursday's challenge was to..."Do it yourself"... make something yourself.....so I made a turkey....seemed appropriate.

Stamp Something was "Something punchy".... the feathers and turkey is all made with punches from SU! The circle punch and the window punch.

Stacey's Stampin Page has some wonderful Fall combination colors..

All the paper used for the projects where just scraps that I had laying around. The leaves and felt pumpkins I picked up at Joann's Craft store.

Thanks for stopping by...and take some time to stamp!
