A Little Bit of Halloween

Good Morning. Today, I thought I would share a little bit of Halloween with you. I am not a big Halloween person, but I do think this card is cute. This card was created by Amy Haskedakes, a fellow demonstrator. Enjoy!

Set: Wicked Cool
Cardstock: Basic Black, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, and Wicked Fun Specialty
Designer Series Paper
Ink: Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: 1" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle
Punch, Dimensionals, and 5/8" Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon

For those of you who are attending my class tomorrow, I just can't wait. I am working on some cool projects for you to put together. Also, I will be demo-ing a couple of awesome techniques. I am so looking forward to tomorrow. Just a "heads up" that I will not be posting on here again until November 1, (scary - wow, Christmas is around the corner) as I will be out of town most of next week. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Candy Cane Christmas

Good Morning. Yes, I am up and about this morning. As a matter of fact, I have been moving around since 6 a.m. Haven't even had any coffee. For those of you who thought you I missed yesterday's post, look for my previous post as I did make a post before midnight last night! Don't want you to miss the second card. I forget to mention previously that all of the cards in the October Kit to Go use the NEW Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper. When I saw it in the Holiday Mini Catalog, it didn't do much for me, but seeing it used makes all the difference in the world! This card also uses the NEW Tinsel Trim which I am loving.

And you are asking ... How do I get one of these kits? Let me know by November 6, if you are interested in one. The October Kit to Go includes cardstock and embellishments to make a total of 12 cards (3 cards - 4 of each design). They all use the same stamp set A Cute Christmas; however, you can also substitute a set of your own. The kit comes with instructions and pictures. What a great way to get started making your Christmas cards. They are $20 each and payment isn't due until I deliver.

Don't forget to check back in tomorrow for our latest creation. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Good Afternoon. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine? I love it. Looks like rain for tomorrow, though. This sample was created by Kathleen (no last name on it) and I really like it!
