AESTAMPS A LATTE

Happy  Halloween to all my friends, my family and my fellow stampers!  Here is my favorite card that I made this year for Halloween using the very cute Bat from the Googly Ghouls stamp set.  : )  The full moon was made first by punching a circle out of a sticky note, and then sponging More Mustard and Tangerine Tango ink in a circular motion into the punched out circle area.  Next, I placed the punched out circle piece over the moon and sponged Basic Black ink onto the card stock using a torn piece of paper to make the cloudy sky.  The moon was also made similarly but I sponged my White craft pad into the punched out circle area of the sticky note. Have a great Halloween!  Hope you get lots of treats! (save your dark chocolate for me!).   Annette

Yes, the mummy on this "buckle" card is sparkling with fright. : )  Not sure if you can see it, but he's definitely festive.  Mr. Mummy is sponged in  More Mustard ink followed by sponging in Basic Gray around him. He's then topped off with some sparkle using my Dazzling Details glitter.  Way to dress up, Mr. Mummy! : )  I used my Word Window punch to make the "buckle" slot on the left to open the card.  And then Mr. Spider is there to greet you.....  And then all I can say is..... BOOO....to you!   RECIPE: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Tangerine Tango and Howlstooth paper; Googly Ghouls, Wicked Cool and Teeny  Tiny Wishes stamp sets; Word Window punch, Labels Framelits, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Spider Web folder (love it!), Festive Paper-Piercing template (love it!),  Black Stazon ink, White Craft ink, Black brads, Basic Gray stitched grosgrain ribbon, paper piercing tool, Googlie eyes, and Dazzling Details glitter.

The Stamp Man (i.e. UPS) dropped off my new goodies from the Holiday Mini catalog last night!!! Woo-who!  Just touched them last night.....but did sit down this morning and made my first creation using the Googly Ghouls stamp set. Woo-who!  See, it's still August....and I have my first Halloween card! : )  Take a look:  Aren't they cute?  I just love it! Hence, my love for Stampin' UP! In the picture below, you can see that I 3D'd franky's face and the mummies, too.  The trick or treat bag also has a  dimensional behind it.  Add the Googlie eyes, and walla! A very fun Halloween card !  It's hard to tell, since my camera isn't the greatest...but I used the Festive paper-piercing mat to paper pierce the Basic Black Window Frame die .  I just love the new paper-piercing mats for the Framelit dies! They are an awesome addition to this years catalog! : ) Recipe : Stamps: Googly Ghouls, Wicked Cool and Spooky Bingo Bits Paper : ...
