Halloween Treats

A Happy Halloween to you all! :o)

These are some of the quick little treats I have made ready for tonight.

I used the fabulous new skinny Cello bags found in the New Annual Catty (page 161). These are the perfect size for filling with M&M's :o)

I've decorated them very simply using the Googly Ghouls stamp set from the Autumn / Winter catty (page 27) - and of course I've used the brilliant new Googlies eyes!

The topper is made using one of the Framelits from the Apothecary Accents set - I just folded it in half and stapled it onto the Cello Bag, covering the staple with squares of Pumpkin card.

Technique Class - Rosette

This is another of my cards from a recent Technique class.

This one was to demonstrate how easy it is to create a Rosette using the Simply Scored board.

Stamps : Baby Tees Wheel, Letter It
Colours : Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Whisper White
Big Shot : Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Holiday Collection Framelits (star)
Other Products : Mini Silver Brads, Basic Rhinestone

Anne's Card :o)

Last Tuesday I spent the morning at the home of one of my Downline's. Anne designed this card and I made it while I was there. She is so talented and I absolutely love her projects. It was a lovely morning and so nice of her to invite me to come for a little break. Thank you Anne xxxx

Stamps : Winter Memories, Nicely Knit Wheel, En Francais
Colours : Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze
Big Shot : Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
Other Products : Adhesive Pearl, Platinum Shimmer Paint, Silver Dazzle Marker, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Ribbon Wreath Card

This is one of the cards we made at my Technique classes this month. 

We used retired 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon to weave this wreath, but you can use almost any ribbon to do it. It takes quite a lot though - this one took just under 2 yards!

The background was created by running Chocolate Chip card stock through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then lightly stroked the Chocolate Chip ink pad over the embossing to make it 'pop' a bit more :o)

Stamps : Curly Cute
Colours : Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, Real Red
Big Shot : Woodgrain Embossing Folder
Ribbon : 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Garden Green, Real Red

Betsy's Blossoms

This is one of the projects my ladies made and my New Catalogue Launch Event back at the end of September.

The card is based on one I saw created by Robin Spinner.

Stamps : Betsy's Blossoms, Petite Pairs (sentiment)
Colours : Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse, Whisper White and Early Espresso.
Big Shot : Apothecary Accents Framelits, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder
Ribbon : Gumball Green Stitched Satin

Technique - Colouring With Chalks

This was one of the cards we created at one of my Technique classes in the past couple of months.

I used it to show how easily it was to use our Blender Pens with mediums other than ink. You just touch the pen to the chalk block to pick up the colour and then use them in the normal way to colour your image.

Colours : Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

Halloween ..........

The card I am sharing with you today uses the fabulous Googly Ghouls stamp set from the Autumn / Winter Seasonal Catalogue.

I'm not really a Halloween fan to be honest - it's just not a holiday that I've grown up with. BUT I do love the stamps and other halloween products in our catalogue! As soon as I saw these, I wanted them :o)

You can find them on page 27 - and if you love savings - you can purchase them in a bundle with the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit and save 15% on the total price!

This year I am planning to make little sweet treat goodies for all the Trick & Treaters who call - and I'll be using both the stamp set and the co-ordinating kit :o) I know all my little callers will love the goodies I have planned ...... and it's really just a little bit exciting :o) I am looking forward to treating them!

The above card also uses the wonderful Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (what a great name!). These papers are perfect for halloween - but as they haven't actually got any 'halloween' images printed on them, you could use them for all sorts of occasions - especially men's cards.

Stamp set : Googly Ghouls
Card stock : Tangerine Tango, Basic Grey, Very Vanilla
DSP : Howlstooth & Scaringbone
Other Products : Googlies (Eyes), 1/2" Striped Satin Ribbon
Tools : 1 1/4" Square Punch, Top Note Die, Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
