Eat, Drink and Be Scary Halloween Treat Bag

Posted: Friday, October 17th, 2008 | Comments (4)

Isn’t the candy in this bag awesome?!  I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)!  The Top Note Sizzix die has a ’stitched’ border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer  a ‘matted’ look.

House of Haunts again!

Posted: Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Comments (5)

This is the original "House of Haunts" card meant for my last month’s Stamp-a-Stack of Stuff… but the previous post ended up being the card we did. 

House of Haunts, another view!

It uses the same supplies but the haunted house is stamped on the Eggplant cardstock.

Be sure to sign up for my Stamp a Stack of Stuff for this Thursday evening (repeating Friday morning), register through my online Calendar.

So, which one do you like more?

House of Haunts…

Posted: Friday, October 10th, 2008 | Comments (7)

This spooky card’s ‘moon’ was made by using a 1 1/4 inch circle punched bond paper ‘mask’ and sponging first More Mustard and then Elegant Eggplant.  The ‘tombstones’ are the tag punch and then I used the corner rounder on one to make the old fashioned ’rounded top’ with corners.

Creepy Crawly Halloween Projects

Posted: Thursday, October 18th, 2007 | Comments (3)

Halloween ProjectsI had fun with these great Halloween projects and I just LOVE the Creepy Crawly Designer Series papers! These are two of the six “Stamp a Stack of Stuff’ projects this month.

I’ve seen altered “Pringle Cans’, but I was impressed enough to want to make my own when I saw Valerie White’s samples.  I got the BOO box in my Convention 07 WOW swap (made by Terri Winkleman).

I am thinking of making up the BOO boxes for my neighbors, but I think that some of them *might* figure out who made them!  What do you think? hmmmm…..

DOWNLOAD the BOO! box directions and also DOWNLOAD the BOO! box greeting (8/page).

Anyway, I am excited about the redesign of my blog and am on the verge of a huge overhaul of my ustamp4fun.com website!
