Cookie Cutter Halloween

I have a workshop/party tonight!  It was fun getting ready for it even if I’m getting ready for Saturday’s Stamp Camp at the same time.  It keeps me on my toes, right?!  🙂

Vonnie, my hostess, told me exactly what type of cards she wanted to make so I went to work creating.  Today’s card is the Halloween card that I came up with (OK…I CASEd it!)  Isn’t it cute?  I was telling you the other day how I really didn’t think I needed this stamp set but now I can’t seem to get enough of it!  Ha!

My favorite part of this card is the little pieces of mummy wrapping sticking to him.  You can use muslin fabric or if you’re lazy like me I just grabbed a roll of white ribbon from my stash and cut it in thin strips and tied them in a knot.  Too cute!  I hope the gals like it tonight!

Well, I’m not quite all ready for the party tonight.  I’m trying to think of a hostess gift.  Hmm…..I guess I better get to work.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

TSC!  Too Stinkin’ Cute!  This card is SO adorable!  Here’s another confession….I didn’t want to purchase the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set or the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.  Nope.  They were way too cutsie for me.  I don’t have little kids around and I had no reason for these stamp sets.  HA!

These little critters are way too cute!  There are so many great projects online made with these stamp sets!  I may be in love.  Oh, well….never say never…right?  I’ll have to remember that when the next new catalog comes out.

I received this totally fun card as a swap.  I just love the way the little characters are peeking through the frames.  I’m not sure which character is my favorite.  How about you?  I do love the little spider and web from the Spooky Fun stamp set.  I really need more time to play with my Halloween stamps.  It’s coming up way too fast!  Only 2 weeks.  Yikes!  Unfortunately I’ve already bought some candy and we’ve been nibbling away at it.  I really shouldn’t do that!  I’m trying to LOSE weight!  Not gain it!  Ha!

Have a wonderful day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

This little skeleton guy is just too darn cute!  I know.  I know.  I didn’t want this stamp set because it was too cutesie.  I should have know better!

This card is almost an exact copy of one I saw on Pinterest.  Have I ever mentioned how much I love Pinterest?  I’m not sure I could create without it!  OK…that may be a slight exaggeration but I’d have a much harder time creating without it.

This week is my Halloween and Fall class.  I’m actually trying something a little different.  I had designed three Halloween cards and two fall cards for the class.  When I sent out an email for people to sign up someone asked me if they could just make fall cards since they didn’t really get into Halloween.  It got me thinking…why not?  So I decided to give my customers some choices with the five projects.  They could make the five cards as I designed, they could make the Halloween cards into treat bags if they wanted or they could make 5 fall cards (3 of one design, 2 of the other).  In the second picture you can see how I altered the card so the focal point would fit on the treat bag.   I’m anxious to see how it all works out.    It might be something to offer again in the future.  #6monthstampingoals

The light colored background piece is watercolor paper which I gave a watercolor wash to with Smoky Slate although it is hard to see in the picture.

I was a little sneaky with  my Halloween Night Enamel Dots….I colored them with a black Sharpie so they’d match the card a little better.  What do you think of my random threads?  I used both silver and black.  I don’t think they turned out too bad.  One of these days I’ll get the hang of randomness!  Ha!

It’s almost October and time to really get into Halloween.  I’ll have to try and play a little more with all of my Halloween products!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s finally Fall!  Although you’d never know it here in Colorado.  The temperature is still getting up to at least 80 degrees!  Yuk!  I want cool weather so I can wear jeans and sweatshirts!  I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much.  One of the first years we lived here in Denver we actually had a snow storm in September and lost power.

Let’s celebrate fall even though it’s really warm outside….ok…the mornings here are pretty chilly but it warms up fast once the sun comes out.   Let’s celebrate with the adorable little scarecrow from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set.

You guessed it….I wasn’t going to get this stamp set or the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set because the images were too cutsie for me.  Well….I have them both.  Those darn talented stampers that post such great cards with all of those stamp sets I’m not going to buy.  Sheesh!

Anyway, I received this card in a swap that I participated in.  Thank you Julie Sperman!  I love participating in swaps with other demos because I get some great ideas.

The little images in both the Cookie Cutter Halloween and the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp sets are easy to color.  And guess what?  There’s a punch that COORDINATES with them.  Yep!  The Cookie Cutter Builder Punch!  Woo Hoo!  COORDINATION…..my favorite word!  🙂

Have a wonderful first day of Fall!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
