Lost Witch - Haunt Ya Later


This adorable little witch and her pet frog are lost and trying to find some candy!  I'm sure if I don't find her some candy  soon, she will turn me into a frog too!   I'll try and help her out in tomorrow's blog post so stop by again to see what happens!


































This is an adorable new Stampin' Up stamp set in the SU 2015 Holiday catalog.  I just LOVE to water color and this set provides the perfect images.  Anyone can water color using and Aqua Painter and Stampin' Up's Shimmery White Card Stock.  It's so relaxing and comforting to do.

In a previous blog post, I talked about SU's Spider Web doilies.  They are black on one side and white on the other side so you can sponge the white side any color that you want.  You can also use them whole or cut them into snippets as I did on this card.

Here are the Stampin' Up products that I used:

Ovals Collections Framelits Dies - Card front panels
Haunt Ya Later Stamp Set - Witch and Sentiment
Witches' Night Stamp Set - Bat
Tangelo Twist Card Stock - Card Base
Basic Black Card Stock - Oval card panel

Treat Hiding in 'Double" Mini Treat Bag


If you visited my blog yesterday, I promised to show you the treat I had hidden inside the Mini 'Double' treat bag that I showed.  Here ya' go!
 

































It's a 1"Hx2"Wx3"L Flip Lid Box with a cute belly band and four embellished Hershey Nugget's inside.  Here's another picture from the side:
 
And a picture of the inside and some adorable little ghosts and spiders:


































Four cute, little, smiling spiders adorn a tiny belly band on each Hershey Nugget.  Dare to take one with those adorable ghosts watching over them! 

And here's a picture from the top.  Maybe I will even put the word BOO on the inside of the flip lid.  I'll have to see if it fits and doesn't cover up the ghosts.  There's always an afterthought.  

I just love creating 3D Holiday projects and cards with Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper's. 

Here's a list of the Stampin' Up products that I used:

Stampin' Trimmer with Scorer
Sweet Hauntings Stamp Set - Sentiment on Tag

I will try to keep creating cards and projects for Monday through Friday on my blog and will be taking the weekends off.  I may post more or I may post less.  Depends on how productive I am throughout the week and what is going on in my life.

I hope you enjoyed my blog today.  Please stop back on Monday.  Have a great weekend!

Owl-o-ween 'Double' Mini Treat Bag

I just can't get enough of this Halloween Owl from Stampin' Up's Howl-o-ween Treat Stamp Set.  Miss Owl-o-ween is on her way out to cast her spell on the unexpected who cross her path.  Beware!


































Miss Owl is sporting her Tangelo Twist Pumpkin Bag with her wand and a bottle of her deadly magic potion.  I used Dazzling Details on the star on her wand and hat.  It gives such a neat glittery glow.  Those eye's have SU's Crystal Effects on them and they look just like a real owl's eye's.  Just amazing!

Today's post has Miss Owl attached to a 'Double' Mini Treat Bag that Stampin' Up taught Demonstrator's how to make.  Below is a side view:


































For the double treat bag, you need to cut two of the larger bag pieces from SU's Mint Treat Bag Thinlits Die.  Then you score at the 3/4" and 1/2" mark on the right hand side to form the gussets.  Assemble the bag with sticky strip and trim a small portion of the peaked edge off the top.  Then cut a piece of card stock measuring 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" and adhere to the bottom flaps of bag for the bottom of your bag.

As I promised to show you in yesterday's blog, I sponged the white side of the black SU Spider Web Doily with Tangelo Twist Ink.  I just love being able to make them any color I choose for other cards or projects that are not a Holiday theme.

And, stop back tomorrow and I'll show what is hiding inside this treat bag!!!

Here are the Stampin' Up products that I used:

Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Die
Howl-o-ween Stamp Set - Owl, Hat, Wand, and Pumpkin
Cheer All Year Stamp Set - Spider
Sweet Hauntings - Deadly Bottle
Designer Series Paper - Every Day Chic 
Whisper White Card Stock - Owl, Pumpkin, Bottle, Wand
Crushed Curry Card Stock - Stars and Owls' Eye's

Death by Chocolate

We had some awful storms yesterday and I'm sure glad they are over now!  It's so nice to see the sun shine again!  It's gone from 88 degree's down to 68 for a high today and the cooler weather is such a relief from all the humidity!  Phew!

Today, I have a Stampin' Up Mini Treat Bag decorated for Halloween!  I just LOVE how this bag turned out and so cute for a Halloween gift.






































The new Stampin' Up doilies are so cool!  They are black on one side and white on the other side.  So, you can sponge them any color you want on the white side which you will see in tomorrow's blog post.  And, you don't have to use the whole doily.  I've cut snippets from them and also cut the center out to use on other projects.  Love them!

Check out those eye's and the spiders.  Wowzers!!!  The Crystal Effects sure shines on the stamped black ink. 

I even put Designer Series Paper on the chocolate bar and added a bat.

Curvy Candy Corn Treat Holder

How about a Curvy Candy Corn Treat Holder for Halloween!  I'll tell you how I designed it below.
















Aren't they cute!   It's hard to see the white piece as I used a white background to take my pictures.  I LOVE that they look like Candy Corn!!!

They each hold their own Ghirardelli candy treat!






































I took the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit die and die cut two sides with the handle out of Stampin' Up Tangelo Twist Card Stock.  I then cut partials sides out of SU Crushed Curry and SU Whisper White Card Stock.  With my SU Stampin' Trimmer, I cut the bottom two Tangleo Twist flaps down to 1" and glued the 1" flaps together.  I cut the Crushed Curry piece and cut that down so it measured 2 3/8" from top of handle to the bottom and the Whisper White piece down to 1 1/4".  Below is a photo of what the pieces should look like.

Adhere Crushed Curry piece to Tangelo Twist piece and Whisper White piece to Crushed Curry piece.

Below is a list of Stampin' Up products that I used:
Tangelo Twist Card Stock - Curvy Box panels, 1 1/4" Scalloped Circle

Skiing at Dusk

How about this adorable Penguin skiing at dusk and having his Time to Chill?  I just LOVE him!

Tie to Tie Shirt Card

I have another shirt card to show you today.  I have such a passion for Snowmen, Penguins, Santa's, Reindeer and other animal stamps and dies that I just can't get enough of them.  Let's take a look at my card....

































  




This is one of my most FAVE bundles in the new Stampin' Up 2015 Holiday Catalog.  Below is a close up of this adorable little snowman.






































Here's a list of the Stampin' Up products that I used to create my card:
Merry Moments Designer Series Paper - Shirt card base
Whisper White Card Stock - Tie and Snowman
Soft Sky Ink - Snowman, Snowflakes and sponging on Tie (I stamped off once before stamping the Snowman and Snowflakes) 
Mossy Meadow Ink - Ear Muffs and Tie Scarf
Soft Suede Ink - Snowman's Arms
And, even though it is a Masculine Card, I just couldn't resist adding some Bling-Bling!  I added two of the new Iced Rhinestone Embellishments on the collar and some small Jewel Rhinestones on both Tie's.

 If I would have had more time, I would have used SU Crystal Effects on his Ear Muff's and Tie and shined them up; but, time ran out for me.

Now tell me, whose Tie do you like better; the Snowman's Tie or My Tie??? 

Thanks for stopping by today!!!
