Freshly Brewed Blog Hop – I’ve been framed!!

I’m joining the lovely ladies from Australia again this week for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop!

This week’s theme is frames, and I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this in their project.  I decided to share a project I’ll be teaching in a Halloween Décor class this Saturday.  We’ll be using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set, along with a few things from the Magic In This Night Suite.

The frame is 9 x 9.  Our artwork is 8 x 8 (Cajun Craze) layered onto the white mat that came with the frame.  I remove the glass from the frame and place it behind the mat to add stability, and if I want to use the frame for something else later, I don’t have to look for the glass!

The black cat’s eyes, nose and collar are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a small clear rhinestone tag on his collar.

The bats are cut from black cardstock and painted with Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

A small square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and the spider is colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends. The silver cord is a vintage product.

I’m excited to have this class and let everyone add a little spookiness to their homes this Halloween.

Here’s the fixin’s:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project.  Be sure to follow the links below to see what the other ladies did with frames!

Harvest Hello Note Cards

I love having Stampin’ Up! Parties!  And some of my friends (like LaAnna), have discovered the secret to getting a LOT of FREE stuff!

LaAnna is a member of my Stamp Club, so when it’s her month as host, she will have at least a $150 party (and usually more) as part of Club.  If she has an outside party, and invites her friends and neighbors, any orders are added to her club orders, so she earns extra FREE stuff.

This option is available to all of my club members, but not many take advantage of it.  And, they can have the party in my studio, so they don’t have to do anything except bring snacks!

At LaAnna’s outside party, we had two Make-n-Takes.  The first one was the treat box from September’s Paper Pumpkin kit.  The second was this cute little note card.

I like using the note cards for Make-n-Takes because they are already pre-cut and scored, and come with an envelope.

Paper Pumpkin Halloween!

If you’ve never had a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you might want to think about trying one.

Paper Pumpkin is a red box that comes directly to your mailbox and contains everything you need to make the project of the month!

The September Paper Pumpkin kit made 20 of these cute little treat boxes….. ten each of two designs.  Just big enough for two or three of the chocolate minis, it would make a great treat for a classroom of children or a group of co-workers.

Click on the Paper Pumpkin link to sign up!  Be sure to sign up before the 10th of the month, to get that month’s kit.

Harvest Hellos Treat

I am in love with the Harvest Hellos bundle!  And, it seems that everyone else is, too!

I came up with this cute little treat box using the pumpkins and a simple 3″ x 3″ square scored at 1″ and 2″ both ways, cut and folded into a 1″ box which will hold a Hershey Kiss or a Mini.  After I finished mine, I saw several of these, almost identical, done by other demos!  I couldn’t believe it.

We made these at Stamp Club and each person had the option to add a Jack-o-lantern face.  I hope you like them!

Here are the fixin’s:

Wicked!!

Sometimes you just need to make something a little different!  I love making small pieces of art to decorate my home, or gift to a friend.

We made this little work of art in Stamp Club using the Wonderfully Wicked bundle.  And look closely!  That cat has rhinestone eyes!

Here are the fixin’s!

Boo! Coffin Treat Box

If you’re looking for a cute and quick treat for those Special Halloween tricksters, Stampin’ Up! has just what you need!  These coffin boxes are pre-cut and pre-scored, making them quick and easy to assemble.  In fact, I assembled 24 of these boxes Saturday afternoon for my friend Janet’s elementary class.

We made this one in Stamp Club last month, and we embossed the lid with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder before assembling them.

The tag is from the Tags Tags Tags Bundle.  The best thing about this bundle is that there are 3 tags on each stamp and the die cuts them all at once!  There is a set of tags for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day, so lots of options with one set.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  Here’s the fixin’s:

Monster Bash Halloween Card

We’re getting in the Halloween spirit here, so we made this cute card at Stamp Club this month.

It’s a very simple card using the Spooktacular Bash Bundle.  I just love this little vampire and the curly frame die that coordinates with him.  I also love the way the Sentiment is perfectly framed with another die in the set.  These dies are so versatile and could be used for so much more than just this stamp set.

I also like this paper, which is filled with books.  I had fun reading the names….. like How To Cook Forty People, and Diary of a Young Vampire.

And, I’m a big fan of the black ribbon with silver sparkles from the Annual Catalog.  I’m so happy they brought this back from last year’s Holiday Catalog!

Here’s a list of the supplies used in this project.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
