Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat

I made these treats recently for one of my classes.  I used the Fry Box and Autumn Accents Dies with Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Tangerine Tango, and Old Olive card stock.  I attached the leaves with the mini clothespins.  They're not the best quality pictures, but you get the idea.

A Little Bit Country

More Trim the Tree DSP!  This card was made using the words from "Festival of Trees" and the Tree Punch (available as a bundle).  I used Crumb Cake as the card base and tied a Real Red 3/8"Satin Woven Ribbon around it.  The stars at the bottom of the tree were made with the new Confetti Starts Punch.  Maybe I should have sprinkled the punched out ones all over the card?

One of the Best Presents Ever!

I've had some great birthday presents over the years (many years), but this one takes the cake!  I thought last year's was great, but this flag arrived from my sister just in time for my birthday and the big rivalry game tomorrow.  Although I will be watching it long distance among other MSU alumni and fans (yes, I've taught my grandsons the MSU Fight Song) I will be there in spirit.  GO GREEN!

Lost Lagoon

I made this fast and easy card using Lost Lagoon card stock and coordinating 3/8" Silky Taffeta Ribbon.  I punched out the wreath from the All is Calm DSP using the Wonderful Wreath Framelits and made the background with the On Point Embossing Folder.  Last, I added some Frosted Sequins.  Done!

Cheerful Tags

This cute set called "Cheerful Tags" contains seven different stamps.  I stamped the words in Cherry Cobbler and the trees in Garden Green.  I punched them out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  The adorable background papers are from the Under the Tree DSP collection .  I tied some Whisper White Bakers Twine under the popped up circle and stapled a couple of banners at the bottom.  Easy Peasy!

Little Pumpkin

Here's our newest little pumpkin-straight from the pumpkin patch!  Meet Finn, our darling grandson who is already a month old.  Below are his three big brothers who also enjoyed going to the pumpkin patch.  I'm one lucky grandma to be able to spend this fun time of year with them!

Plaid or Snowflakes?

Here's a "under five minutes" card to make!  I stamped the words in Cherry Cobbler with "Merry Everything" a sent that contains five different tags.  I punched them out with the Note Tag Punch--the set and punch are available as a bundle to save you 15%.  The background papers are from the Trim the Tree Paper Stack (48 double-sided sheets that are 4 1/2" x 6 1/2").  Last, I added some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.

Silver & Gold

I made this pretty card using the "Wondrous Wreath" set.  I stamped the first stamp (leaves) in Silver Metallic Ink, then the second one (more leaves) Gold Metallic Ink.  I stamped the holly berries in Versamark and heat embossed them using White Embossing Powder.  I stamped the silver dots using "Dotty Angles" and the "MERRY" is from "Cheerful Tags".  I added some 1/8" Silver Ribbon around the wreath and mounted the card on Brushed Silver card stock and then again on Whisper White card stock. 

Christmas Bliss

This is a limited edition photopolymer stamp set called "Christmas Bliss".  It has many different holiday words and images and here are a couple of them.  I stamped the words in Real Red and put it on a Pear Pizzazz card.  I stamped the background ornaments with Versamark Ink.  I added a Nordic Designer Button from the Holiday Mini tied with some Whisper White Baker's Twine. 

Merry: Take Two

Here's another card from the "Seasonally Scattered" set.  I stamped it in Bermuda Bay and mounted it on some Brushed Silver card stock.  I stamped "Christmas" from the "Endless Wishes" set below MERRY.  Then, I used the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder to make the background on the Bermuda Bay base.  Last, I added a Basic Metal Button with some Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine.
