Halloween Treat and Baby's First

 Another Halloween card and a treat - these two were also out at the National Card Making Day

This is a treat that I have made before to sell at the local craft sales, but between Dale's soap making business and my Stampin' Up! business, we are too busy to participate in craft sales. It was always a LOT of work, and truthfully, I am pleased, but I thought for National Card Making Day it would be fun to put some treats out. 

The cute little bat (way cuter than the ones in real life) is made from the Owl Punch and 1-3/8" circle punch for the wings. The branch is from the Bird Builder Punch. All the edges were sponged with some Craft White Ink and the smile was made using a chalk marker.

This was a fun card using two different stamp sets that both coordinate with the same die set. Merry Cafe' and Coffee Cafe', but I did grab the "steam" from Scentsational Season and the bat & spiderwebs from Home Sweet Home.

I saw the little 3D spiders at the local craft shop and thought they would be a great addition.

I didn't have a stripe designer paper so created my own with a chalk marker and a ruler.

I understand that I used retired products and some non Stampin' Up! products, but perhaps you have these items in your stamp collection and it is fun to pull out some old favorites. 

I took this same card but changed it up to make a Halloween card for Liam. He is nearly one year old - born just after Halloween last year so this is his first Halloween and it will be fun to send it to him.

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice!

This Craft Sale item is super fun for fall and holds the new style of hand sanitizer that is sold at the Bath & Body Works stores.

I used the COFFEE CAFE' Photopolymer Stamp Set, and the COFFEE CUPS Framelits Dies.
I made a little box to hold the hand sanitizer then created the cup for the front and back.
I got the measurements from Erica - they are as follows:

2" X 5 1/4" Pumpkin Pie Card Stock
Score long side at 2" and 3 1/4"
Score short side at 1/2" and 1 1/2"

I hope you will join us for the upcoming fall Craft Sales:

I continue to ask that you partner with me as I am trying to earn the trip to Maui. I cannot do it without your help.

The Stampin' Up! year is soon coming to a close the end of September 

I have never been this close to earning a trip and yet it is too far away for me to achieve this without your help.

My incentive for anyone who helps me to achieve this goal by September 30 - I will let you choose one HOSTESS exclusive stamp set for FREE. You may choose from the ones in the Annual Catalog or the upcoming Holiday Catalog.

I'm sure I cannot find 9 people to spend $1,000.00 (But that would be AWESOME!)

BUT if I could get 18 people to spend $500

THIS WOULD HELP ME TO REACH MY GOAL!!

Ice Cream Anyone??

When I created a new HOSTESS CODE for the month of May it came up like this

Now I don't know about you, but I am an extreme ice cream fan, so when it started with DQ all I could think about was my favorite Dairy Queen Blizzard!  I always get the Banana Split Blizzard - which one to you choose?

Of course my thoughts went right to making a card

Here's want I did (the sketch is loosely based on Dawn Griffith's Sketch #78
I used the largest and the second largest STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES
I cut them from Crumb Cake Card Stock then using the SPONGE BRAYERS I sponged Crumb Cake ink all over both of them.
My red banner (although it looks pink in this photo) is Whisper White Card Stock sponged with the SPONGE BRAYERS and Real Red Ink.
The Crushed Curry is 3 3/4" long and they both measure 1" wide. I ran it through one of my favorite retired embossing folders.
Now for the DQ cup. I used the SPONGE BRAYERS again with Pacific Point Ink on Whisper White card stock and cut out with the COFFEE CUPS FRAMELITS
The Whipped Cream was stamped with Smoky Slate ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and cut out, and the plastic cover was cut from VELLUM Card Stock, all using the COFFEE  CUPS FRAMELITS.
I went onto Google to get the Dairy Queen icon, printed it, cut it out and attached it to the front of the cup and adhered the cup with Dimensionals.https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/search/dimensionals
The top layer of crumb cake is also adhered with Dimensionals - I think I go through those things like water because I like my cards to have dimension to them
I imagine I will use this card as a gift card holder at some point to give a DQ gift card as a gift.

How Fun!! Time to think our side the box and create something unexpected!!
BTW - the COFFEE CAFE` Stamp set and COFFEE CUPS FRAMELITS DIES are all retiring. Get yours NOW before it is too late!!

Here are the links for the updated Clearance Rack products.

Team Shares

Today I brag on my team just a little bit!!
Everyone was in a sharing mode at this months meeting and I couldn't be more happy.
Linda B was really on a roll sharing some awesome crafty stuff she made.

I just love this hand sanitizer holder made with the COFFEE CAFE Stamp Set and Dies. So refreshing looking.

This is a super fun EOS holder

Such a cute tissue holder!!

 Gum Holder

Another EOS holder

 These are adorable stationary boxes. They certainly are a WOW! project

Another Stationary Holder - so pretty in black and white. Sets include Greeting Cards in the back, Tags,, 3x3 Note Cards, Small note pad, a tiny pocket for stamps, and a pen!!

My next team member who shared is Janell A

Janell also really went to town creating, and she said she has been doing a lot of different folds.

 Inside:

Such beautiful butterflies - we are really going to miss having WATERCOLOR WINGS Stamp Set in the new catalog.

These are 5x5 Explosion Cards

This card is called the IMPOSSIBLE CARD

Such a fun side fold with a peek-a-boo window

Super Fun-Fold Card using SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE

Trifold Card - beautiful! this card uses PETAL PALETTE Stamp Set and Dies

These 2 cards are absolutely stunning! Janelle stamped her own designer paper that shows through the "ray". Who needs Designer Paper??

This fun top hat treat is adorable and Janell even agreed to teach this as our MAKE  N TAKE project

 at a future team meeting.

Looks like Janell had fun with the BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET Stamp Set and Dies!!

 

 Look at the detail how she popped up some of the pieces!

These last 2 were made using the WILD ABOUT FLOWERS Stamp Set and some retired butterflies rom Papillion Potpourri

 On this one she swiped the Whisper White Craft Ink pad over the raised image from the LOVELY FLORAL DYNAMIC EMBOSSING FOLDER.

 A sweet bear using the A LITTLE WILD Stamp Set and Dies

I forgot to get a photo on how this card opens, but it flips up for a fun fold! What an amazing job she did!!

Thanks Janelle!

This is another EXPLOSION card made by Shirley using BUBBLE OVER Stamp Set and dies

These next 3 cards were made by Inez

These 2 were stamped with the Stamp Set PEACEFUL REFLECTIONS . A Stamp Set that Inez got during the April OnStage event.

This last one by Inez used DRAGONFLY DREAMS

This belly band card was made by Lynda using the VARIED VASES Stamp Set

These last two cards were shared by Peggy

 SEA OF TEXTURES BUNDLE - So cute!

ENJOY LIFE Stamp Set

Thank you so much gals for sharing your talents with us!!

My talent was trying to remember who made what and I am pretty sure I got some wrong, so let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.
