Bootiful Occasions Christmas Card and One-Day Stampin' Up Special on October 29th!

 

 

I designed this card for a class and I think everyone liked it!  For bling, I used 2-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds on the boot.  The colors of cardstock are Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, and Whisper White.  I used the new Gumball Green Core'dinations Cardstock and Sanding Block for the Top Note die cut piece.  I stamped the image in Black Stazon ink and colored it in with Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green Stampin' Markers.

Halloween Witch Card - Stampin Up Contest Winner!

I just have to brag about my sideline, Leslie Irvin.  She submitted this card to Stampin' Up for their monthly contest and won!!  She is so talented; a true artist!  Leslie used the Bootiful Occasions and Jack of all Trades stamp sets.  She submitted this for the "Bling It" contest and you can see, she really blinged it!  I love how she added glitter to the bubbles, added Rhinestones, then added Pearls too.  Colors of cardstock are Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, and Tangerine Tango.    Leslie used the Oval Accents Bigz Die to create the cauldron, then ran it through the Chevron Embossing Folder for texture.  And don't you love how she added the witch's hair and used tulle and ribbon for the dress -   Enjoy!

Halloween "Bootiful" Card and Tricky Treats Goody Bag

Here's the card I made for a Halloween swap.  I used the Bootiful Occasions and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets as well as the Distressed Dots background stamp.  Cardstock colors are Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, and Basic Black.  I added some character by running the background cardstock through the Spider Web Embossing Folder then sponged it with Daffodil Delight classic ink.  Finally, I added some bling to the boot by using Rhinestones and Dazzling Details glitter glue!

And here's a Halloween Treat Bag my fellow Demonstrator, Donna Rolston, made using the "Box in a Bag" technique. She used Tangerine DSP from the Brights DSP Stack and accented that with Basic Gray cardstock. She stamped the ghost in Basic Gray classic ink (from the Tricky Treats stamp set). Donna used the Curly Label punch, the Lace border punch (retired), and the Tag punches. She added gray Glimmer Brads and the super cute Googly Eyes for that extra touch!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Stampin' Up October FREE Paper Piercing Pack Special!

Click HERE to dlownload flyer

I just wanted to post the October Stampin' Up Special and tell you all that I finally finished my husband's project - yippee!!  Today's the last day of painting thank goodness!  So, this week I'll be working on my Resume and looking for a job. 

 

I was lucky to be able to be done today, because towards the end of last week, I got the "crud" sickness going around.  I had a fever, sore throat, chest and sinus congestion, achy, and I can tell you, I DON"T like being sick!  I'm still congested and coughing with a sore throat, but I don't have a fever now.  And my mother's been on IV antibiotics for a hip joint infection and last Thurdsay, we found out she's got pneumonia too!  My poor mother's been through a lot these last 6 years, but she hangs in there and thanks God for the good days; something I need to work on doing more of! 

So, I hope all of you have a great and healthy week, and I think after I finish my Resume, I'll be a stamping fiend, so be sure to check back!
