Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!  I'm jumping right in with a card perfect for today.  Isn't this cute?  I made it at a Holiday Card Buffet earlier this month hosted by Sally Nusbaum, Kim Coulter, and Cheryl Renth.  They are some talented ladies and good friends.  The Circle Thinlits was used for the big eyeball.  Below is the open card.

The "hair" was hand cut and additional eyes were made from punches for the inside of the card.  My granddaughter should get a kick out of this card!

Here is another card made at the same event.

The Envelope Punch Board was used to make the "file folder".  Some Washi tape was added on the front edge and to one of the coffee cups, which are from Perfect Blend set.  Those spiders....Cheryl made her own stamp using our Undefined stamp carving kit.  Wasn't she the clever one!  The insert can be used for a gift card, a message, a photo....  So many possibilities for this type of card!

Last of the Fall Regional Swaps

Hi there and happy Friday!  I'm away having fun with my stampin' peeps but I've scheduled the last of the swaps received at the Fall Regional that Sally Nusbaum organized for us Demonstrators.  The above file folder card was made by Ornetta Gilliam.  It was made using Stampin' Up!s new Envelope Punch Board.  The photo below shows the little card insert, which can be used for a message.  Too cute!

This card by Sarah Klasing is unique in the way it opens - it flips up.  She used the Wildflower Meadow stamp and coordinating embossing folder on the focal piece.

Peggy Gebhardt made this adorable Angry Bird punch art version of a Christmas card.  Love it!

I'm not real sure how Ruthie Lancaster made this card.  I think she inked up the embossing folder with a brayer before placing her cardstock in it and running through the Big Shot.  I like the results!

This last swap card was made by Sally Nusbaum.  Wasn't she the clever one to use the ornament for the Santa image!  Love it!

That's all for now.  Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping in today!

Fall Regional Swaps

Hi there!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was awesome!  Had a family reunion on Saturday, which was a lot of fun seeing all the cousins - and their kids and now grandkids!  We had a good time despite the rain and drop in temperature.  Sunday was our Card Buffet and that was fun, too.  We have the best friends/customers!  Thank you all for coming and supporting us!
Well, today I'm sharing some of the swaps received at the Fall "Regional" held September 28th (organized by Sally Nusbaum).  The one above is by Denise Wisdom.  I love how she added some ribbon to make a "scarf" for the snowman!  So clever. 

Isn't this file folder made by Cheryl Renth the cutest?  It was made with our new Envelope Punch Board.  So glad I bought one - love it!  The snowflakes were cut out with our Festive Flurry Framelits found in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Ann Nahm was the designer of this understated beauty!  The Glimmer paper star really adds a nice sparkly finishing touch!

While we're on Christmas trees, this one is by Kathy Morales.  She embossed around the focal image using a Labels Framelit - not sure if you can see that.  It's an elegant looking card with a vintage feel.

That's it for now.  Come back tomorrow for some more swaps.  Must start getting ready for a stamping weekend with other Demonstrators at the Lake of the Ozarks.  This is another fun event organized by Sally Nusbaum.  Woohoo! 
Thanks for stopping by today!
