Witches Happy Haunting …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you all got to enjoy the beautiful weekend, we were blessed with a fabulous fall day! I love this time of year.

Yesterday I used the large stripes from the “Timeless Elegance” designer paper, and today I’m going to highlight the lace pattern. Who better to wear lace than a witch! I stamped her hat in Elegant Eggplant and heat embossed it with the Iridescent Ice emboss powder.

Her hat … oh yes, that came from the Howl-o-ween Bundle; The Howl-o-ween Treats stamp set and Boo to You Framelits Dies. It’s so cute and so much fun to play with. To create the focal point, I placed the hat on a silver 2-1/2″ circle.

I love to use purple, green and orange for Halloween so my color choices for today’s card was Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie which I used for my tags and base for the card. I finished my edges with the Triple Banner Punch … it can really make a banner from any size of cardstock, not just the 3 that are slotted for!

As for my “Happy Haunting” greeting … I took that from my September Paper Pumpkin stamp set. Paper Pumpkin has some awesome “exclusive” stamps! It is really worth trying it out at least. CLICK HERE.

I hope my card inspired you to use your designer papers for any type of project … it’s always more fun to think outside the box!

Thank you for stopping by today ~

Have a marvelous Monday!

Simply Sunday: Howl-o-ween Sneak Peak!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday I told you that I would share a cute card created with the Howl-o-ween stamp set that I won at Convention. It is a quick and easy card and they layout works for anything!

I started with my Howl-o-ween stamp set and teamed it up with the “Cherry on Top” designer series paper stack. I chose the little candies … how appropriate

for Trick-or-Treat! I simply stamped the greeting on Crushed Curry and punched it out using the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch. I followed up by punching out a black circle with the 1-3/4″ punch.

For the highlight … I punched out a piece of the designer paper and covered it with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds!! It just adds a sweet touch of sparkle to the card.

Just think of all the different type of cards you can create using this layout… three simple punches, some pretty paper and a greeting!
