BOO!

Here is another FABULOUS project we made at our group meeting a while back.  This is so neat.  I am sure you can find a tutorial online somewhere.  You pull up the chocolate bar and the word sheet slides out the bottom.  You can do this for any season.  I will have to try it on my own.

Halloween House

I love the houses that were made at convention 2 years ago.  I have many cut already in preparation for possible classes.  I decided to make a Halloween House to go along with my Fall/Halloween decor.  I really love how it turned out.  Here it is on my new faux mantle.

Using MDS2

I made these invitations on My Digital Studio, our digital program.  I made this a hybrid project.  I stamped my images in Perfect Plum and then added our googly eyes.  The actual invite with all the information is on the back.  So Fun!

Shake your "Boot"y

I love this boot set.  Here is my take on the Halloween boot.  I love using my spider web embossing folder.  The texture makes such a difference on a card.

Batty for You

Since I did Christmas on Saturday, I realized Halloween is not too far away so I figured I did not want to wait to show you this cute bat.  It is made using the Petal cone die and the Pennant die for the
Big Shot.  I first saw this done at a Regional event with Stampin' Up!  Shelli, the CEO, of Stampin' Up! made this and filled it with candy for her grandchildren.

Simply Scored Class: Project 1

I held a Simply Scored class last week and the next few days will show the projects we did.  Everyone brought their Simply Scored with them and learned a few ways to use it.  First we did this fancy fold card.  It is so simple and I was inspired by multiple demonstrators who made a card similar to this one.

TIP:  Card Stock is 5 1/2 x 12" :   score at 1", 2", 4", 6" and 9" accordion fold and make it your own.
These measurements came from Janella Sibert Clough , a fellow demonstrator.

Making Stampin' Up! Cookies

The kids and I LOVED making cookies with the Sweet Pressed cookie stamps.  The shortbread recipe is delicious and it was a memorable success!  The kids could not believe they could stamp on cookies.

Simply Scored LOVE

I LOVE the Simply Scored tool.  I have been playing and playing with it and I am addicted to LOLLIES!  What are lollies you ask?  They are the decoration above.  You can make so many neat things with lollies and you will see plenty posted here in the coming days.  You can use them as ornaments, on cards and just as decoration.  Come to my Simply Scored Class on October 11th and make one of the lollies first hand.

Guest Stamper: Halloween is Coming

This was made by my friend and fellow demonstrator, Ami.  This is a simple sour cream container using one
5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of card stock or Designer Series Paper.  She decorated it with  grosgrain ribbon and the Batty for You stamp set.  She colored the stamp using markers.  The best part is that she filled it with candy corn!

Last Halloween Post

Just wanted to post one more time about Halloween.  My two kids were dressed as clowns in costumes that my mom made my brother, sister and me years ago.  They looked so cute and brought home 10.2 lbs. of candy!  I know I never ever brought home that much candy.  To add to the excitement we also adopted Jackson to our family. He is a 16 month old, 85lb. yellow lab..  Now we have our 2 kids and our 2 dogs (11year old border collie mix and Jackson).  Our house is never dull.

HELP: We have decided to change Jackson's name but can't think of the perfect fit yet.  We would love to hear any suggestions you may have to come up with the perfect name for him.  He is BIG, easy going, and quiet.

UDI Inspiration Challenge #119

For the UDI inspiration challenge this week we got this great Norman Rockwell picture.  I ran with the jack-o-lantern and made Halloween treats for each of my kid's classes.  I used Elegant Eggplant and ran it through the Big Shot using the Top Note die.  Then I used the Spider web embossing folder and ran them back through.  I folded them in half and stapled them around a small Hershey bar.  I stamped my jack-o-lantern and attached with a glue dot to cover the staple.  I love how they turned out and I hope the kids like them before they tear them open.  Be sure to check out what the other talented UDI team members came up with this week.

Trick or Treat Decor

 I know you have probably seen these around.  This was a project shown to us at convention this year.  I love using our Decor line with our great products to decorate your home.  It was so easy to decorate these pumpkins and what a great gift to give someone.  I used the Halloween decor from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the black rhinestones.

Creepy Crawly

This is a card we made at my group meeting this past month.  I used Concord Crush, Basic Black and Old Olive.  I used the Spider Web embossing folder to make the awesome spider web.  I did this on both Basic Black sheets and then punched out the center of my smaller piece.  I stamped my spider from Batty for You in Old Olive and punch him out.  Before I layered pieced I added shimmer to the Basic Black paper using my Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed in a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol.  I layered the smaller black piece on top using dimensionals.  I added some Striped Old Olive ribbon and some googly eyes.

Pumpkin Basket

I made this little basket as an autumn treat for the UDI inspiration challenge this week. Add a cello bag with candy corn or chocolate and you have made someones day. I used the Fancy Favor Die for the Big Shot and cut it down to size. I punched out 5 ovals using the Wide Oval Punch and sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. I used the 5 Petal Flower Punch to make the leaves out of Old Olive card stock. Be sure to check out the UDI blog to see what the other inspiration team members came up with.

Pirate Build A Bear

I saw this UDI inspiration challenge picture and thought pirate. I just got the Build A Bear dies and decided I needed a pirate bear. I packaged up 2 kit kat bars and wrapped DSP around them. To close it I used my crimper and crimped the edges. I added my bear in his pirate attire and my sentiment. Check out the other inspiration team members on the UDI blog and leave a comment and tell them what you think.
