C'est l'Halloween, hey!

Treats for my favourite little tricksters! I found these awesome Dollarama paper treat bags, but I just wanted to add something special. This is my first project using my new Top Note die (that I've had for a few months now). I think they all turned out really cute...for a first time!

Supplies:
Top Note die, Stampin Up
Cardstock, Recollections
Vampire, Haunted House and Boo! stamps, Michael's (you know, those random little $1.50 stamps :))
Letter stickers, various
Treat Bags, Dollarama
Velcro tabs, Dollarama

I have all of my regular treat bags full of such things as... Hershey's Halloween Drops, Angry Bird gummies, Halloween plastic rings, Spiderman candy sticks, Cadbury Screme Eggs...and much more! This is my very first time putting together my own Halloween treat bags, so I quite possibly overdid it :) Plus dbf bought some chips ("We have to get Doritos, not chips. I want to be the cool house that has Doritos!" says dbf).

That's all for now! Next on the calendar... Christmas! (my favourite time of year) I missed the Stamp n Stack Christmas card-making event yesterday (boo!) but hopefully we will be making some Christmas cards at Card Club this week. Need some new ideas! dbf informed me that I need to make 19 cards for his family, in addition to the ones I need to make for my family. He just doesn't understand that some people don't get handmade cards... am I right!? ;)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop . My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right? Last year, I started my Christmas cards in January - this year, I waited until yesterday to make my first Christmas card. I just haven't been feeling the Christmas vibe so far this year. But I am pleased with how this one turned out! Supplies used: Caffeinated Christmas stamp set (sentiment) by Becca Cruger SU! Hang your Stocking (holly leaves) SU!

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with: I made it in the school colours (red and gray). This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
