Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps

Stampin' Up has just provided us with a new way of  doing what we love....stamping  For just $16.95 you can have a nice Chirsmas or birthday gift for the women in your life.  The current set comes with three holiday stamps.  In addition to stamping the tops of cookies the molds can be used for candy.  Just pour the chocolate into the mold and pop it out for a chocolate coin with a pretty imprint.             

Happy Halloween

The Haunted Forest Stamp Set looks really cool when it is embossed in black and then filled in with a little color whether it is Pastels, Inks or Markers.

My last posting of Halloween cards this year is created by Barb Holicky. 

Halloween Kid

Can you tell the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is extremely popular.  Here Allison Schiding used it with the stamp set, "Greeting Card Kids" and Very Vanilla Seam Binding and Rhinestones.  Also used Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Peach Parfait, and Concord Crush.            

SPOOKY

Another card today using the really cute stamp set, "Spooky Bingo Bits."  Denise Kay Foor popped her little spiders rght off the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder she used.  All the spiders little legs were embossed as well.

Goblin Greetings

Halloween is almost here and it looks like we may have our first snow in Pennsylvania for it.  The Goblin Greeting was done by Carol Linden of Westminister, MD.  Carol used the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Isn't this a cute way to use the Stamp Set "Spooky Bingo Bits" on a card.  Love the little characters in this stamp set.

GENTLY FALLING

I made this card using the Gently Falling Stamp Set and the Spiced Cake DSP at Janet Wakeland's last month.  Not a real complicated card but a pretty statement of Fall.  The Gently Falling Stamp Set is featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 16 and 17.

Leaves of a Tree

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN PURCHASE SINGLE STAMPS FROM STAMPIN' UP and make beautiful cards and scrapbook pages with them.  Here is an excellent example from Sue Lepako.  Sue used the stamp set, "Leaves of a Tree" to make this beautiful card.  The stamp set is featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog available now through January 3, 2012.  Number 123843 and costs $9.95.  Order one from me today.

More Spiced Cake

Wanted to include a swap card from my sister and fellow Demonstrator, Denise Foor.  Spice Cake Designer Speciality Paper has been so popular this year.  I really like the way Denise decorated her card inside.

Gently Falling Spice Cake

It's not too early to think Thanksgiving so our Clubs made this Happy Thanksgiving Card this week using DSP Spice Cake and Stamp Sets Gently Falling (who doesn't love this set), Teeny Tiny Wishes, and Grateful Greetings.  Your need Hemp Twine and your Scallop Trim Border Punch.  Colors used include: Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede.  Add a Stampin' Up button for the final touch.  This card was cased from a card by Cindy.

GOBLIN GREETINGS!

This year, though October is my favorite month of the year, it has been a little tough with all the difficult issues going on.  Hopefully, making a card with this little guy on it will bring a smile back.
Stamp Sets Used:  Jack of All Trades; Wicked Cool; and Grateful Greetings.  I was unsure of Grateful Greetings at first but now I love all of its sayings.  I'm using it quite often.  This is a card where I used Craft Ink for the Black hat and Pumpkin Pie pumpkin.  Remember when using craft ink that it must dry before you move on to putting your card together. 

MY FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR -- OCTOBER

Just a little something for the kids to start off my favorite time of the year.  Happy October everyone!!
