DAY TWO OF OUR OCTOBER GLITTER QUEEN BLOG HOP

Happy Fall, Y'All.  Do you remember the stamp set we used to sell with that saying?  I LOVED that stamp.  Made me feel right at home!  ha

How are you enjoying the blog hop so far?  Hope you are getting lots of ideas from our creative gals.  We certainly love to "show off our stuff" for you!!  Did you know we are from all over the United States?  I am in Texas, some are in Michigan, some in California and one even in Hawaii!!  We LOVE the internet so we can communicate with you all and share our ideas!!

For my card today I used the WICKED COOL stamp set.  I LOVE this set.  The boots and the hat are awesome, but so is the candelabra and the word stamps.  I got this idea from my new swap group member.  Didn't she come up with such a FUN idea?

 This is to be like the Witch's dresser or bureau with a mirror.  See the legs of her dresser at the bottom?  I punched those with the decorative punch.  Then I put on 3 "kitty-wampus" drawers to her dresser with dimensionals. (that's Tex-speak for crooked!)  I have mini gold brads as the handles to the drawers.  And look at that - she got stuck inside the dresser upside down!!  It was a wild night, I imagine!!

Her mirror is made with confetti cream card stock, then I sponged some basic gray around the edges, and stamped some spider webs as well.  I added her candelabra just a little crooked to show what a wild night it had been.  Inside, I stamped "Have a Wicked Halloween" also from the same stamp set.  Isn't it a HOOT??!!  LOVE IT.

The card stock colors are concord crush, lucky limeade, confetti cream.  The ink is basic gray and basic black.  Markers were used to color the stamped images.  A tad bit of Crystal Effects looks perfect on her candelabra, even if it doesn't show up well for my camera phone.

Your next stop is all the way over in HAWAII to Cely's Blog.  Get some golden sand in your toes for me while you are there!!

THIS STAMP SET IS THE MOST ADORABLE ONE I HAVE SEEN...

Oh my stars, this cute new hostess set in the Holiday Mini, entitled Warmest of Wishes (#122672) is so adorable.  Specifically the cute little owl with his/her trick-or-treat costume and bag.  It just tickles me every time I stamp it.  So here is a treat bag I am making for my "Ghoul's Night Out" event next week.  I have 12 attending so far and it is going to be a riot.  I have fun games, prizes and adorable cards and items to create.  Also yummy treats too.  Here is the treat bag for each attendee:

 I got grape purple colored lunch bags at the store at a price of 4 for $1.00.  Perfect color to match our Concord Crush color in SU!  I stamped my little new friend, the Halloween Owl  with his little mask on and holding his bag in concord grape ink on white card stock and punched him out with the owl punch.  (Oops, forgot to tell you I wiped off his feet and used my pumpkin pie marker to color them BEFORE I stamped it.  Sorry)  Then I used the marker to color around the trick or treat bag and just stamped that on white cs and then cut it out with snips and put it on a dimensional so he is carrying an orange bag.  Colored in his beak after stamping with the pumpkin pie marker as well.

This close up you can see his treat bag and feet are pumpkin pie.  The large scallop circle is pumpkin pie and I sponged ink on the edge in Concord Crush as well.  Then I attached the owl to the scallop with a dimensional and used snail to attach the whole decoration to the lunch sack.  Isn't it adorable??!!  I am going to have jars of candies at the party and they can pick and choose what they want to take home with them for treats, and/or can carry their prizes home.

We are going to have a blast.  Can't wait.  I have been cutting out paper all day today to get my kits ready for them to put together.

Good night and here to inky fingers y'all!!

HAPPY SUNDAY Y'ALL

Happy Sunday to everyone.  It feels like spring here in Texas today.  The birds are active all around looking for nesting sites and seeking bugs for food.  I LOVE springtime in Texas. In this hot, humid Houston area of Texas, spring and fall are the only 2 seasons we can actually enjoy outdoor activities.  The other times it is too humid, too hot, too buggy, etc. to spend much time outside at all.

My card today is one made with a base of daffodil delight CARD STOCK. I used the TOP NOTE DIE for my Big Shot to cute melon mambo card stock.  Then I used my SQUARE PUNCH to cut out the quilt squares of the ICE CREAM PARLOR designer paper & Quick Accents Pack which is FREE, along with BITTY BUTTONS in daffodil, melon and turquoise which are also FREE and come with coordinating ribbon.  Yes, they are part of the SALE-A-BRATION FREE ITEMS which you can receive by placing a minimum of $50 order with me on my SU website.  I also used the DAFFODIL DELIGHT POM POM TRIM from the OCCASIONS MINI CATALOG which coordinates beautifully with all these colors.

I used the Friend stamp from the YOU'RE A GEM set on page 25 of the OCCASIONS MINI, and the SEW SUITE stamp set on page 33, a 6 stamp set.

Another punch I used is the SCALLOP TRIM BORDER PUNCH as edging along the bottom of my card.  The little sewing machine is attached on STAMPIN DIMENSIONALS so it adds a little different texture.  Oh, and I used the IN STITCHES jumbo wheel, which I took apart and cut into 6 separate stamps as if my quilted top note was stitched together.

Please let me know what you think of my card, especially the cute stitching along the quilt blocks.

Hope your Sunday is special and blessed.  Happy Stamping Y'all.
