Wishing You a Wicked Halloween

Just one more Halloween Treat to share - this really fun caldron we made at Lorri's Cozy Craft Retreat. Isn't this just too cute!? So really, the only Stampin' Up! stuff here is the Wicked and the Ribbon and of course the paper, but I just LOVE IT!

There was even a cute little potion bottle we filled with sand.

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!

Tags Tags Tags

A little behind here, but I decided to send cards to my adult children this year for Halloween. I don't know why, it just seems like the thing to do all of a sudden. Plus, I bought the cute Tags Tags Tags Bundle and Halloween is just the beginning as there are Christmas and Valentine's stamps in the set as well and they all work together with the dies.

Recipe:

Basic Black - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Pumpkin Pie - 4" x 5 1/4" - Embossed with Tin Tile 3D folder

Monster Bash Designer Series Paper - 2" x 5 1/4"

Basic Black - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Pumpkin Pie - 2" x 4" - Embossed with Tin Tile 3D folder

Monster Bash Designer Series Paper - 4" x 5 1/4"

Ignore the retired bakers twine on the "Boo" tag, it was all I had that worked!

Thank you for looking in today! Happy Saturday!

Beautiful Friendship

Time to restock my thank you cards. I made a bunch of these tonight and I'm really happy with how they came out. Three cheers for my Stamp-a-ratus! Made everything so easy to put together. I started with Melon Mambo and then Highland Heather. The leaves were stamped by hand randomly with Granny Apple Green.

Look at the envelope! I really like the added color to the envelope. Who says you have to have pretty Designer Series Paper to dress it up a bit. Just stamp and go!

Recipe:
Highland Heather - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" (cut two - one for inside)

Stamps: Beautiful Friendship and Love What You Do
Inks: Highland Heather, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Memento Black
