Stampin' Addicts Big Shot Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts Big Shot Blog Hop 2011. If you have been hopping along in order, you just had the treat of seeing Shelleys's Beautiful creations she made using the Beautiful Butterflies Die at stop # 13.  I can't wait to try some of her great ideas!  So here at stop #14 I am going to show you some projects made with the Two Tags Die. So sit back and have some fun as we look at some Halloween Treats.  EEEKkkk!

Here is a group shot of my projects that I made.  In the front is a candy bar holder, to the back a card with a magnetic bookmark, a money holder, and a gift card holder.  The DSP I used is called Frightful Sight and the Stamp set Batty for You.  I've started to use Black Stazon most of the time instead of Basic Black ink becasue it just gives a deeper black color to the image.

So the magnetic bookmark comes off like this for an extra treat. :)  Here is a little tip.  Use dimensional to pop up the top layer of the front of your card, then you can just slip the bookmark in between the layers.   Love our new Black polkadot ribbon!

This is fun little gift card holder. Who wouldn't like to get a treat like this?...I seem to be addicted to fraying ribbon. lol But it is so fun to do and I love the look it gives a project.

Here are the other two treat holders.  The Batty one holds a Mini Hershey Candy Bar and well then as you can see a money holder.  Now this one would also be cute tied around a bottle of water with a drink mix tucked inside.  And here is the BIG news!  If you join Stampin' Up! this month you'll receive a FREE big Shot or $100 worth of FREE Stampin Up! stuff.  Hurry and call your demo today!  What a deal!  Well that's all I've got so I guess it's time to "hop" on over to Tanya's Blog and see the cute things she has made with the Buttons #5 Die.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!  Try to find the time to stamp a little longer. :)

Fall Mini Scrapbook

 I made a Fall Version of the mini scrapbook using the 6 x 6 page protectors for my hostess last night.  I had so much fun stampin with Jenni and her family and friends. Thanks Jenni!

Here is the set of 6 x 6 pages I created for Jenni that go in her scrapbook.  I just love the Spice Cake DSP and the stamp set Pursuit of Happiness.  Stampin Up!  Just keeps gettin better all the time!  Have a great day everyone!  and thanks for stopping by.

Pumpkin Thank U's!

 These little Reese's cup pumpkins are what our guests received for coming to our Stamp Camp yesterday as a little thank you.  I thought this up at 9pm the night before.  I thought they turned out super cute and they are super easy to make!

Here's a top view of them.  What do you think?

Here's how I made the Reese's Pumpkin.   Punch out 2 regular size scallop circles out of Pumpkin Pie, run them through the BS with the swirly texturz plate. Cut off 4 of the scallops. Attach a 2" piece of Lucky Limade Ruffle Ribbon to the inside tops of each scallop circle with a glue dot. On one scallop circle add two glue dots and the other 2 dimensionals. I found that since the top of the Reese's cup kinda dips in the dimensional work better. You can whip up some of these super fast.

It's Ustamp Time!!! Paper Parade Project #1 Halloween Mini Scrapbook

 One of my projects this round was a Halloween mini scrapbook made using Stampin' Ups 6 x 6 page protectors and the Halloween DSP Pick Your Poison.  I had a fun time making this set.

 Inside shot of the scrapbook

The matching card had a hanging spider inside.  How fun!  and of course the matching envy.  Have a great day everyone!  It's going to be a beauty here. :)

Witchy Woman

 Here's is a cute little Halloween card I made using the fun stamp set " Out On a Limb".  I love this little witch stamp.  Very fun card using the masking technique to make the moon.  I thought she needed a little something added to her hat so I frayed some of our ribbon and added it.  I made this card for a designer swap over at U-Stamp for this round of Paper Parade.  We are using all the DSP this round to make our projects and I'll be showing you mine pretty soon.  You can sign up for the round by clicking on the button on the left hand side of my blog.  I love that little pinwheel!  Ok on to the inside of the card...

So here is the inside.  I just love that little kittty cat too!  The saying for the inside comes from the stamp set "Grateful Greetings".  The DSP I used on the card is Pick Your Poison from the Holiday Mini.  If you are coming to my Stamp a Stack this Sunday this is one of the projects you'll be making. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday! Uncle Bud

  My Uncle Bud turned 90 this week and I wanted to make him a special card.  So I made him a pop-up card.  Here is the front and...

here is the inside.  These kind of cards are so fun and easy to make.   Have a great day!



September Scrapbook Product Challenge for Stampin Addicts

 I chose to use Stampin Up!'s Extra Large and Large Oval Punches to make a pumpkin to add to my Halloween 6 x 6 scrap page.  I also used the Big Shot and one of the texturz plates to give it some dimension.

Here is how to make the pumpkin and stem.  I saw this on someones blog but can't remember who's. I've made the pumpkins before with the punches, but I thought the stem idea was brilliant! So easy!  Have a great day stampers!  I promise to be better about my blogging.  How does life get so crazy!!!

UStamp Project #2 Fall Scrapbook

Scrapbook Challenge for August at Stampin Addicts

So this month I chose to use the crimper on my scrapbook page.  Here's the page I came up with.  I'm kinda excited about the page because the pictures were just taken a few weeks ago while we were in Florida.  I know!  I actually have some on a page already!  That is exciting!  Now to just do some journaling.  Anyway,  for the base of the tree I used the crimper and for the branches I used the Blossoms Petal Builders Punch.  Embossing the clouds and making the flip flops came from ideas I received from convention on card swaps.  If you'ld like to play along click on Stampin' Addicts and it'll take you there.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Tomorrow I'll post my other UStamp Project for this round.

UStamp I ♥ the Holidays Project #1

So here is one of the projects I made for this round of UStamp.  I made a block ornament using our Petal Card Double Punch.  Made my own paper beads to put between the letters.  I also made the box.  I really wanted one of the pretty box kits demos got for recruiting during the last promo, but no luck. So hey, might as well make my own.  Instructions are available through this round of UStamp along with other fantastic projects.  Check back tomorrow for my other project.

Wow I can't believe it's been so long...and it's time for another UStamp!

Super round going on!  Need some ideas for the upcoming Holidays?  Here you go!  Over  40 different projects with PDF's to make them for $24.95.  Live Chats and prize give-away's.  Come on what are you waiting for?  I have made some great friends from all over the world through U-Stamp!  Click the blinkie on the left hand side and sign up today.
