Stampin' Sweet

October is coming to an end and so is the Sweet Harvest theme over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . We shared so many sweet ideas this month. You still have a chance to share your creations too! We love to see what everyone makes with their Paper Pumpkin kits. I made mini candy wrapper boxes using the envelope punch board. I stamped the witches hat and candy images from the September kits on Whisper White Cardstock to make my own Designer Series Paper! They were fun and easy to make. They make the perfect little treat box this Halloween. Thanks for stopping by. Next week we will start a whole new challenge!

This is the last week of Sweet & Treats over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! I hope you will stop by to see what everyone has been creating. Need some new ideas? We have them. The Design Team plus many lovely ladies have linked up their creations, click here and scroll to the bottom to see them all!  While you are there, share your creations! We would love to see them. Do you remember that cute box from a few kits back? I punched out a circle in the middle of the lid, cut back the inner flaps, stamped "Boo" on a window sheet, added some embellishments and added some candy. Boom! It is done. I usually have extras from all the Paper Pumpkin kits! I save them all together so I can use them on different projects. The Paper Pumpkin kits make it so easy to create! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! Are you looking for some Paper Pumpkin inspiration? Then you have stopped by the right place. We gotcha covered. Each week the Design Team at the My Pumpkin Challenge shares their creations on ways to change up the Paper Pumpkin kits. Then, you are invited to share your creations. We love to see what you are making. Be sure to head to the My Pumpkin Challenge today. The Challenge this month is Sweets & Treats ! You can see my sample above. I used one of the striped boxes from a previous kit, then using the September kit, wrapped some of the black twine around it, added a tag stamped with Boo and orange sequin ribbon for a cute treat box. Fill that up with some candy and you are good to go! Thanks for stopping by!

It is October. It is so weird to type. It seems so soon. I feel like when October rolls around the rest of the year flies by. I need to stop and enjoy each day, mentally I am already preparing for Christmas, but physically I will plan to enjoy the beautiful fall season in Colorado. This month over at the My Pumpkin Challenge the theme is Sweets & Treats , so perfect for the September Paper Pumpkin kits! Don't forget, we want to see what you are creating. Head over to the My Pumpkin Challenge and link your samples. Have questions about how to link up? Don't be shy, ask away. I would love to help you. Here is my sample for this week. Yep, I cut and trimmed the cute lil burlap bag apart to make my own "ribbon." I used some basic black card stock and tangelo twist card stock to make this spooktacular card! Using items I have on hand is a fun alternative for the Paper Pumpkin kits.  Thanks for stopping by!

I am sooo excited to share some of the Halloween cards I made. I love Halloween, mostly because I love this time of year. The weather is cool and crisp, the leaves are changing colors, it's the perfect time of year to start baking yummy treats and of course there is more to time to stamp. I know, I know, there are not more hours in the day, I just tend to be indoors more often in the fall! For the card shown above I embossed the vellum paper with the Stampin' Up! Spider Web textured impressions embossing folder and then sponged it with some basic black ink. This was my first time embossing vellum and I think it turned out perfect for this card! For the second card I really wanted a pumpkin on the front, since I did not have any pumpkin stamps (Crazy I know!!!) I punched out three ovals and made my own! So easy and simple. I think I will use this card for Thanksgiving too! For my last card I could not resist this lil owl! He is from the Warmest Wishes Hostess Se...
