Hallow Eve

Evening everyone.

I thought I would pop in with a couple of ideas for halloween tomorrow night. While I know its not very big here in Australia, some still celebrate it.

I am not one for trick or treating, I just don't like my son door knocking for sweets.

However we are heading to a halloween party tomorrow night with a bunch of kids all in one place where they can dress up, eat sweets and be safe!

I thought I would share a couple of treat bag ideas for the event.

These little bags I bought from Kmart - I got 20 for $3.50 and they came in kraft like below or white.

Perfect for a quick and easy treat bag.  The stamps, framelits, designer paper and black glimmer paper are all from the new holiday catalogue from Stampin' Up!

Little cello bags with the die cut warlocks hat, and a diecut BOO cut from black glimmer paper.

How cool are those eyeball, skeleton and brains chocolates?

For those who choose to celebrate Halloween have an awesome day/evening filled with a lot of fun

Nothing brings me more joy then to see my son having fun!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Do not open...

.. til Christmas

This card was another class card for October!

This is a gorgeous stamp set from Stampin' Up! - but its a hostess set only, you can get it but you need to put in a good sized order for it.

I for one did that as I love it lol.

lots of layering going on with this card, but it is a super easy card to make in bulk and I love that idea.

 the main image is from the stamp set called Antique Tags #140494 c/m or #139855 w/m

The leaf is from seasonal snapshot stamp set which is a project life stamp set.

Thanks for Stopping By, Have a wonderful day!

Embellished Ornaments

Happy Saturday everyone, I hope your day has gotten off to a wonderful start.

Last night I held my monthly class and together my ladies made this card.

We used the new stamp set and matching framelits called Embellished Ornaments.  This set is from Stampin' Up!

 Gold glimmer paper was used for the top layer of the ornament.

 The word Merry was from the project life set called seasonal snapshot.

I love all the glimmery goodness of this card, and its not one that takes long to create either, though I did use the new sizzix precision plate to die cut the ornament making it so much simpler.

Have a great day everyone.

Happy World Cardmaking day!

Happy Cardmaking day to everyone the world over.

Wow, did everyone find time today to get at least one card in?

I managed a super quick one tonight and I mean super quick.

This one was made with my wonderful husband in mind, I like to send them to his workplace now and again :)

Edges of the white embossed layer, the circle diecut and the striped acorn have been sponged with  tip top taupe.

It may be hard to see, but I used circle framelits for the the circle cut out, once the larger size was cut out, I got the next sized circle down and laid it on top of the circle cutting side of framelit up (away from cardstock)  then ran it through big shot to give it an embossed inner circle image.  

I used the new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Acorny thank you.

It also has a coordinating punch which really makes this set super awesome as there is no fussy cutting, perfect for a quickie card.

Snow Way its Christmas already?

Ha ha ha such a cool sentiment isn't it?

Its from the Snow place stamp set from Stampin' Up!

A little bit of masking here to achieve this.

I CASED this card from HERE, its amazing how many talented people are out there and I love to take inspiration from them, even those that aren't Stampin' Up! This card was perfect so all I changed out were the stamps, the sentiment and the colour, oh and added some rhinestones here and there.

A WICKED birthday...

I am definitely a fan of Halloween, which is the minority in Australia I know, but I cant help but love getting together with friends, dressing up and enjoying a night of fun!  

When I saw the new Howl - o - ween stamp set and matching dies in the catalogue I had to have it

But NOT for halloween

I saw the skull and bones for all things boys

I saw the hat - for all things Harry Potter/wizard etc

I saw a funky owl - you can never have too many owls

I saw the word BOO - for project life especially the early pages I still need to do of Harry.

I see the wand - for all things girly and wizardry.

The spider?  So many things most notably - anything spiderman.

So many uses for one set, and to be able to get matching dies so I didn't have to cut them all out was just icing on the cake lol.

New DSP also from the new holiday catalogue.

Check out that gorgeous black glimmer paper - OMG it is amazing and most perfect on a boys card like this one.

Frosty the Snowman...

I just love the new stamp set and matching framelit set "snow place" from Stampin' up!s new holiday catalogue.

I never usually make cards this small but I think I love this size, and I think I have just found the card I will make for my sons class this year, he is in a double class so will be needing a few this year.

I stamped the main image then restamped the image on scrap paper, hand cut it out and layered it on top of the original stamped image.  How cute is that new Christmas ribbon too?

Deck the Halls...
