October Stamp Club !!

It's Halloween already and I still haven't had time to share so many things.  Last Thursday was Stamp Club night!!  So I wanted to at least get these projects posted.

I didn't get a total group picture this time.  Just couldn't squeeze everything in.

So since it is Halloween, I wanted to start with the Halloween Bat Treat Holder.

Aren't these just the cutest Bats that you've ever seen !!!  You may have seen these around in blog world.  But I actually saw this project on Mary Fish's Halloween Blog Hop.  The creator of the Bat Treat Holder is Rae Harper.  You can check out the Blog Hop by clicking ( Here ).

Here's my Recipe:
Fancy Favor XL Bigz Die, 1 3/8" Circle Punch (Old Olive), 1 1/4" Circle Punch (Brights Prints- Tangerine Tango), 3/4" Circle Punch ( Basic Black ),  1 3/4" Circle Punch (Real Red) mouth, Pennant Punch (Whisper White) fangs.  3 1/2" Circle Bigz Die (Basic Black) cut in half and then 1" Circle Punch to make the wings.  Add Halloween Treats or a special gift!!

Here are the Fall Projects that we made:

On the left we have a Just for You card to go with the Preserves, which is a cute Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer Holder.  The card is my take on one of Chat Wszelaki's cards in her October tutorial.

Googly Ghouls Ghirardelli Treat Holder

Well life certainly has not been a bowl of Cherries lately.  But life goes on and time flies by.  Hoping for better times in the future.  So sorry that I haven't been able to post like normal.  But I thought I better get some things out here before you quit stopping by!

This cute Treat Holder is one that I found out on Dawn Griffith's blog.  I just love to give the gift of chocolate whenever I can.  Thought this was just to CUTE to not give it a try.  This is pretty much a total case of Dawn's project!  So give this one a try.

This cute Treat Holder has many options available for you to choose from:
Give this as a Chocolate treat and also send a card, as this has 2 pockets.  Give this as a special Birthday gift using a gift card where the chocolate is and add a cute card in the 2nd pocket.
Just LOVE all the things that you can make with the Ghoolish Googlies Designer Kit !!!

Here's the link to Dawn's video that she has to show you how to make them.   Link

Thanks Dawn for sharing your creativity with us today!!

Hoping to post the "10 Project Class" using the Ghoolish Googlies Designer Kit next.


Thanks for stopping by today !!

Happy Stamping !!!

Interlocking Hearts Anniversary Easel Card

I needed to come up with an Anniversary card for my brother and his wife.  Their 15th Anniversary is this Thursday.  While browsing the blogs for an idea, I finally found the perfect card.  This card was on Dawn Olchefske's blog.  Now Dawn received this card as a Swap from Mary Polcin at the Milwaukee Regionals back in March.  Dawn recently recreated this and made a video showing us how to make this awesome Interlocking Hearts card. 

So here's my take on Mary's Interlocking Hearts card as an Easel card.

                                   This is the closed view.

                        This is the open view from the front.

                                    This is the side view.

                  
I took another picture of the front view on a piece of white paper to hopefully show off some of the wonderful details of this card.

This card is so elegant.  I used the Lacey Brocade Embossing folder for my background and the same Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder for the Interlocking Hearts.  Accented with the Basic Pearl Jewels on Very Vanilla cardstock.  The Hearts are all from the Hearts Framelits using one for the sentiment too!!  Stamp sets used were Teeny Tiny Wishes and Love & Laughter.  Happy Anniversary is punched out using the Word Window punch.

You can check out Dawn's video by clicking ( Here ).

Thanks to Mary Polcin for sharing her wonderful idea and Dawn Olchefske for making the video to show how this Beautiful card is made!!!!

I'm hoping that My Brother and his wife have a wonderful Anniversary!!

Thanks for stopping by today !!

Happy Stamping !!!

Single Stamps Now Available !!

You've been asking for it and I'm excited that I can now say 'yes we do'! Stampin' Up! now has single stamps available to you from three select stamp sets: Word Play (page 135), Perfectly Penned (page 132), and Seasonal Sayings (Holiday Catalog, page 34). Now you can choose just the sayings you want from these three stamp sets, without having to buy the entire set! Here's the information:

• These stamps are available on any order type, whether it is online, at a club or workshop.
• You can find the stamp item numbers & prices for each on the flyers here, plus they tell you which size clear block they will fit on.

• These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).

• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only and runs through January 2nd, 2013.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, so you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy! These make great, easy to mail gifts, too!

Thanks for stopping by today !!!

Happy Stamping !!

September Diva Night

Happy Tuesday!!   I thought I better take some time to post the Make and Takes from our September Diva Night.  I have 3 projects that I wanted to share from our meeting.

First here is the Group Picture of all 3 Projects:

We have several different themes here.  On the left is a Wedding Card, then in the middle there is a Halloween Twist Greeting Card and then the Triple Time Stamp Card.

This picture doesn't do this card justice as it is so elegant.  We have Whisper White cardstock with a touch of Sahara Sand as a mat.  The front of the card is stamped with Flowering Flourishes using the New Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Ink.  It is so stunning and makes this card seem to sparkle!   

We used the Lacey Brocade Embossing Folder on the entire card, I really think it makes this card stand out with a touch of elegance!!


Next up is this really cute Halloween Twist Greeting Card.  I've not made one of these, so it was super cool to see exactly how they are made.

Kelly Gettelfinger has her video tutorial on You Tube.  For those of you who are like me, I need a visual rather than just a description.   Here's the link to Kelly's tutorial, just click ( Here )

This Twisted Greeting Card can be used as a Card with a pocket to hold a wonderful surprise or a gift card for a special occasion !!  We sure had a lot of fun making these!  Perfect for the up coming Holidays, as you have a beautiful card with a gift card inside!

Our third project is this Beautiful Triple Time Stamp Card.   I'm sure you may have seen these out on so many blogs.  They are super easy to make and so beautiful when done!! 

Here are the dimensions for the layers:

Midnight Muse  -  5 1/2 " x 8 1/2" Scored @ 4 1/4"
                               3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
                               2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
Very Vanilla   -     4 x 5 1/4"
                              3 x 4 1/4"
                              2 x 3 1/4"
You want to layer the Very Vanilla pieces using just a little dotto or removable adhesive in the middle of each piece.  Then stamp your design.  Take the Very Vanilla pieces apart and adhere them to the Midnight Muse cardstock.  It's amazing !! So give it a try.

Thanks to my upline Susan Campfield for our awesome Make & Takes this month !!!

Thanks for stopping by today !!!

Happy Stamping !!!
