Trick-or-Treat

Here's what you can expect if you stop by our house tonight to Trick-or-Treat.

I put together little treat boxes with assorted chocolates. The die for the favor box is from Clear and Simple Stamps, the papers are from Authentique's Glowing collection and the stamps are from Whipper Snapper - Anna Wight's cling set Spooky Expressions. I added googly eyes to the little bats for some added fun.

I put each one in a clear bag and stapled the top closed in hopes that they would stay together until the trick or treaters get them home.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Halloween!

Grumpasaurus

Last Friday I bought some Authentique Loyal papers and spent some time yesterday putting together card layouts. I like to put several basic layouts together to get me started and then as I have time I can go back and add the finishing details. For this card I started with the plaid mat and blue mat with the thin light blue stripe. I stamped the Paper Smooches sentiment and added the polka dot circle, green "grass" strip and the trees and dino. Finally I add a white mat and mounted it to a kraft card base.

 

Here's a close up of the paper pieced dino and trees. I love this Cuteasaurus stamp set from Paper Smooches.

 Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day. Happy Stamping!

Cupcake Cards

Today I have a couple of cupcake cards to share with you. I got the template for the cupcake from Paper Smooches. For the first one I used papers from Authentique and added a button using the My Favorite Things Button die and some May Arts Burlap string. The second one uses papers from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads line and has butterfly dies from A Muse Studio and a small rolled rose from My Favorite Things mini rolled rose die.

Thanks so much for stopping. I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday. Happy Stamping!

Celebrating the Moments

I love this sentiment stamp from Hero Arts Life Is Not Perfect set. I stamped it inside a die cut piece created with the Papertrey Ink Fillable Frames #1 die and stamped with the matching border. The designer paper is from the 6x6 Gathering bundle from Authentique. For fun, I added a few mini stars from A Muse Studio to the center of the flowers and also one to the sentiment piece. I think this simple layout really showcases the sentiment and great designer paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Stamping!

Missing You

For today's card I have a missing you theme using the Matching Socks itty bitty from Unity. I colored the socks to match the Authentique papers strips I used on the card base and added the sentiment using a Studio G Clear Alphabet set. The card measures 5x5.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day. Happy Stamping!

Sorry I've been missing

Oops, how did it get to be Wednesday already. Sorry for my lack of posts this week but we've have cloudy overcast days all week so taking photos has been a challenge. Since I haven't posted yet this week I'll go ahead and share two cards with you today. The first one uses paper from Authentique and an Itty Bitty stamp from Unity (co-brand with Authentique). I also used Papertrey Ink's die to cut out the piece where the dress form is mounted and saved that pieced for my next card.

This card uses the die cut piece from the card above as an ornament. I just added the sentiment strip and a bow and mounted it to a choc chip mat. The choc chip mat was embossed with the Papertrey Ink Canvas Impression Plate.

Thanks so much for stopping. I hope you're all having a wonderful Wednesday. Happy Stamping!
