Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I wish you all a very safe and festive evening.

I thought that I would share a quick little post with you today. With this fun occasion comes some fun cards and projects as well. Here are a few Halloween cards and a Halloween project that were stamped by Stamping friends of mine!


The first card was stamped by my friend and upline, Bev. This is such a fun card that makes me smile every time I look at it! She stamped the pumpkin on this card using the Carved & Candlelit stamp set(page 28), the swirly background was created using the Background Basics stamp set(page 131), and the "Happy Halloween" is from the All Holiday stamp set(page143). Bev folded the corner of the card stock and attached a piece of black hemp twine(page 191) to finish off the card.


The second card was stamped by Sonia. The main image on this card is from the Batty for You stamp set(page 27). The more I see this stamp set used the more I like it. She used a variety of punches to frame it: 1 1/4 inch circle and 1 3/8 inch circle and the Scallop Circle punch. I love how these punches work so well with one another. The paper on the bottom of the card is from the Creepy Crawly 12X12 designer series paper and the paper at the top of the card was created using the wax paper resist technique. Another fun card for Halloween.

The final project was also stamped by Sonia! What a great trick or treat surprise. This would make a fun little treat to leave on a co-workers desk or leave for someone special. In between the Scallop Circle punched pieces of card stock are Peppermint Patties! MY FAVORITE!....Yes, I induldge in way too many. Sonia used the same punches again and the Batty for you stamp set. She used a piece of Pumpkin Pie 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon to hold the 4 peppermint patties together.

Thanks for the great cards/project Bev and Sonia!

Wishing you a spooktacular time stamping!....and Happy Haunting tonight!
