HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hello Hivers,

The day has finally arrived.  I am looking forward to all the little and sometime; not so little tricker treaters knocking at my door.  I love seeing the creativity of all the costumes.

The cards, today, were inspired by a card I seen on Pinterest.  I made a few changes, of course.  I have to make it my own.  I love the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper.

Be Safe out there tonight.  Have a lot of Spooky Fun!

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

A Spooky Treat

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a very special treat.  I found some Black Cherry and Black Grape bubble gum pops at my local dollar store.  I just had to get them.  I love how the stick is black too.  The best part about these lolly pops is that they turn your tongue black.  LOL  They are called Tongue Painters.    Yes, I had to try one...or two.  Anyway, I made these lolly pop holders using one of the specialty sheets from the Halloween Night Designer Series Paper pack.  Take a look at the top portion of page 50 of the Holiday Catalog...you will see where I got the idea from.


Supplies:

Spooky Fun stamp set
Halloween Night DSP
Smokey Slate cardstock
Basic Gray Ink
Halloween Night Baker's Twine
Scalloped Tag Topper punch
1/8" Handheld Circle punch
Mini Treat Bag Thinlits


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Flying Trio

Hello Hivers,

Had to make a quick card to send out...yes, I am sending Halloween cards this year.  I have to share my love of this time of year.  I used the Spooky Fun and Sweet Home stamp sets.  I hope the person receiving this card enjoys it as much as I did making it.


Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Baker's Box on Halloween

Hello Hivers,

I made two more of the Baker's Boxes.  I decorated them using the Halloween Night DSP and some of the pieces from the Baker's Box Thinlits.  I doubled up the Baker's Twine and tied a bow for the closure.  Quick and Easy.  Why don't you have a try?

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Tiny Coffins

Hello Hivers,

I found a great tutorial on Pinterest to make these tiny coffins using the Home Sweet Home Thinlits.  I had lots of fun decorating them.  I just love the dripping blood from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set.  Don't you love it?

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Something Old, Something New

Hello Hivers,

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest for todays project.  I made this card for one of my uncles.  His birthday was earlier this month.  I used some new Holiday items and some Retired items to make this card.  I love the way it turned out.

Sorry about the dark photo.  I had to snap a quick picture before I put it in the mail.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Stacked Pumpkins

Hello Hivers,

I wanted to make a couple of Halloween cards that weren't so...Halloweeny.  You can easily change the sentiment and make this a birthday or a happy fall card.  Maybe even a Thanksgiving card.

When you are the one making the card you have creative freedom.

Enjoy your day, and as always...
Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

Until next time....Buzzz you later.

CASE'ing Zindorf

Hello Hivers,


As you can see I made two of these cards.  One, I made for my father's birthday, the other is for Halloween.
I found this card on Pinterest and fell in love with it.  Then I realized that it was made by M. Zindorf.  I love her work.  So it was no surprise when I seen that she was the originator of this wonderful card.

Shaky, Swirly, Halloween Home

Hello Hivers,

I am really appreciating all the new products I ordered from the Holiday Catalog.  They have my creative Mojo working overtime.

This is my first shaker card.  I don't know why I waited so long to try this technique.  I love it.  I guess it looked a bit complicated, but in reality, it is not.  It came together faster than I thought it would.

If you haven't noticed, I tend to make two of each card that I design.  This is because you can get two cards from each sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock.  That, and the fact that I can never make up my mind on how want the finished card to look.  As you can see, these cards are very similar but have a few differences.

Caught in a Web

Hello Hivers,

Here's another Mini Treat Bag.  I used the specialty sheet in the Halloween Night DSP to make this one.  I added some 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon and a bit of the Fancy Frost Sequins.  I tied a bow with the Halloween Night Baker's Twine and attached it above my image.  The image is from the Jar of Haunts stamp set.

Halloween Night Treat Pouch

Hello Hivers,

I've been having so much fun with the Halloween Night Designer Series Paper.  I wanted to make a treat pouch that would show off both sides of the paper.  I decided to make the diaper fold pouch.  This project only used a 6x6 piece of DSP for each pouch.  Super quick and easy, yet very cute.

Puppy Love

Hello Hivers,

Just wanted to let you know that the Sweet Home stamp set and coordinating thinlits are not just for the holidays.  You can make so many different things using these products.  I added an image from Bella & Friends and this lovely birthday card was complete.

Have I mentioned how much I love this Holiday Catalog?  Oh, I did?  Okay...just wanted to make sure you knew.  LOL

All Bandaged Up

Hello Hivers,

Here are two more cards for your enjoyment.

Have you ever tried to find something on my blog and had a hard time?
When using the search box, try putting in words that describe the project or things used to make the project.  Just look under Lables:  all the tags that I have added for that project will be listed.


Don't forget...the Designer Series Paper Sale is still going on.

Home Sweet Home

Hello Hivers,

I have been seeing these cute little coffins all over Pinterest.  I just had to make one for myself.  I used the Home Sweet Home Thinlits to make the box.  I decorated with the Jar of Haunts and Sweet Home stamp sets.

I sponged around the edges using craft white ink.  The sentiment was colored using Stampin' Write Markers, Real Red and Basic Black.

Vampires, Witches and Spiders. Oh My!

Hello Hivers,

This is one of my favorite creations.  I just love the way these cards turned out.  I can't believe how much of a difference just a little of the Fine-Tip Glue Pen can make.  Add that with the Wink of Stella, and these cards are sparktackulous!

I just had to carry the fun to the inside of the cards.  I am having way too much fun creating with these products...so my husband says anyway.  LOL

Mummy Card-Box

Hello Hivers,

These cute little boxes were made using a video tutorial I seen on Stamping to Share (blog).  I just had to make them.  They are super cute.  There are two different sized boxes that you can attach to the back of the cards.

CASE'd Mini Treat Bags

Hello Hivers,

I was on Pinterest and found a video making these cute little treat bags.  I just had to CASE (copy and  share everything) them.  I, of course, made a few minor changes to make the projects unique to me.

Don't think you have enough talent to come up with creations of your own?...Do what we all do, and CASE some great work that can be found just about anywhere.  Use that as a starting point and you will be surprised with where you can go from there.

Peek-a-Boo, I See You!

Hello Hivers,

Thought I would try something different today.  I made these cards using a template I made out of junk mail.  I wanted to make sure I had the circles lined up just right.  I love how this layout allows me to display several of the images from a stamp set.  Do you see the shine on the DSP and the images?  I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to go over certain parts of the card to add just a little something extra.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive today.

Have Some Spooky Fun

Hello Hivers,

Here's a bit of Spooky Fun with the Jar of Haunts stamp set.  Don't you just love all the sparkle the Wink of Stella gives to this card?  I had so much fun creating this one.

Remember, it's not to late to order your supplies to make your own Halloween goodies.  Click on the Holiday Catalog to the left and Contact me with your order.

Mini Halloween Scene Treat Bag

Hello Hivers,

Okay, I have a confession to make.  This is the first project I made using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  Shhh.  I know.  It is a shame.

Now, I have to admit, these treat bags come together very quickly.  I made quit a few.  It was a bit addictive.  LOL

You can fill these bags with all sorts of goodies. I can't wait to hand them out to the kiddos.

Dotted Baker's Box and End of Sale

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a 3D project.  I used the Baker's Box Thinlits to create this cute treat holder.  The paper comes from the Halloween Night DSP pack.  I stamped a little tag using a sentiment from the Jar of Haunts stamp set in Basic Black ink and added a spot of Old Olive in the middle.  The banner was made using the Triple Banner Punch.  I tied it all together with a bit of Halloween Night Baker's Twine and Enamel Dots.

Great Sketch

Hello Hivers,

I am so excited.  All this month I will be sharing projects that I made using the Halloween Night Designer Series Paper along with other great products.  I love this time of year.  There is so much spooky fun to be had.

Todays project was inspired by a sketch done by Angie Juda.  I used a sentiment from the stamp set, Spooky Fun.  It is the only stamping done on this card, except for the inside, where I used the spider from the Jar of Haunts stamp set.  Everything else is just paper and embellishments.
