Happy Halloween!

It is getting close to Halloween so I thought I should share this with you. This card is very simple and easy to do. I used Stampin' Up! Basic Black card stock as the card base (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). For the pumpkins, I used The More the Merrier hostess set. I stamped them in Only Orange on Whisper White. Then I sponged on some more Only Orange to soften the white. I mounted this onto a piece of Only Orange with some of the organza ribbon tied around it. On the Whisper White, I stamped "Happy Halloween" in Only Orange. I found these orange eyelets in my stash of sewing stuff. I do not know where they came from only that there are multiple colors in the pack. Finally, I layered everything together to get the Halloween card you see.


Also, I just wanted to let you know that the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog went "live" Sept. 1. This means you can now order items that will only be available for a limited time. Some of the products in the Mini include lots of Christmas stamp sets, the new sweet treat cups and envelopes and the new Build-A-Bear collection. You won't want to miss out on all these great items, so contact me today to build your collection!


Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Trick or Treat

Today's card is for Pals Paper Arts (PPA). The challenge was to make a Halloween project. I did a card because I find them easier. It took me a while to get started because I don't have any Halloween stamps sets or designer paper. I was looking through my stamps and found "Choo Choo" which I haven't used in awhile.




I decided to stamp the pumpkins from "The More the Merrier" on Very Vanilla, cut them out and stack three of them in the cargo piece of the train. I also decided to make my own "designer" paper. I stamped the pumpkins from "Loads of Love Accessories" in versmark on Close to Cocoa. I also used Versamark to stamp "Trick or Treat" from "Holiday Best" on Close to Cocoa for the sentiment. The orange is Pumpkin Pie.
