I just wanted to share an oldie but goodie scary Halloween card that I made last Halloween. The senitment reads "Have a WICKED Halloween" and I created the background with the Gorgeous Grundge Stampe Set which is still in our Annual Catalog.
I simply free-hand, cut-out the witches hands from green cardstock. When I originally saw this set and those ink splatters it made me think of a crime scene.
I busted out my fall decorations a couple of weeks ago, when it's time for school to start - the fall goodies make their appearance. Decorating is another passion of mine, I love to collect holiday pieces and hope you guys find some inspiration from this little tour.
Be still my heart - *sigh*... I am over the moon with joy over how this card came together. This beauty is going to be our family Christmas card for 2016, I just love it!
I originally made these card for a team swap that I was apart of two weeks ago, I've been anxious to share it with all of you.
The Christmas Pines #143496 Stamp Set/Bundle is absolutely beautiful - one of my all-time favorites from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog 2016. Add some gold embossing, gold sequins and let the beauty of the branches speak for themselves. I can't wait to get started on making lots of these for family and friends.
EEEEeeeeekkkk! I am so excited to share this fun and SUPER cute treat holder with you today! I think it's just adorable and the little Dracula couldn't be cuter. I used the "Home Sweet Home" Dies from the Stampin' Up! 2016 Holiday Catalog and that made it so quick and easy.
Now if I can stop eating the treats inside - aaaccckkkk!!!
Be careful if you are using the White Craft ink on your clear (photopolymer) stamps and blocks.
I didn't clean them off right away and they left the ink on them. I restamped with them using regular black ink and they were stamping just fine. Just a word of caution...
Check out the video below to see how easily these go together!
I have been super excited to bust out this stamp set and punch and make some cute Halloween cards and projects! This Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper is even prettier in person... Wowza! I can see that I am going to be using this gorgeous paper on lots of projects that's for sure.
Dracula and bats just seem to go together for a fun Halloween scene and I think this little cutie is just perfect. I've got lots of fun ideas for treat holders, so keep your eye out on my Facebook - The Happy Stamper page for posted pictures as well as my blog.
Check out this really cute fun-fold card using the "Jolly Friends" Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! These images are just darling and make the cutest cards and projects! Even better is that this sweet set is available in a bundle with the matching Jolly Hat Punch #143511. I love that one of the stamps is a pair of sunglasses so you could make him chillin' on a beach somewhere nice and warm.
To add a jingle of happiness to your projects, there are little Mini Jingle Bells #142002 - how cute is that?!@#$%^&*
I hope you enjoy this Jolly card and it gives you some ideas for making your own holiday cards. They will be here before we know it!
This is also one of three (3) cards that will come in your very own *FREE Kit with Purchase* from me for the month of September in 2016.

It's a very somber day here in the USA - September 11th.
Having moved from New Jersey two years ago, it really hits home for my family.
God Bless all those souls that didn't survive and the brave Emergency Responders that gave their all ...
On a brighter side - I have lots of great cards to share with you in order to help you get started on your Christmas cards and get them finished in plenty of time!
I hope you enjoyed these beauties as much as I enjoyed being apart of this fun swap.
Believe it or not - it's that time of year to start thinking about creating a December Daily Mini Album! I made my first one a few years ago and they really are a wonderful way to remember all that we do in preperation for Christmas Day.
I would love to make a fun class of putting one together with all of you guys. Someone metioned having a LIVE Facebook get-together. What a great idea! Let me know if you are interested and what day('s) of the week work best for you. Do days or night fit your schedule better, let's try to make this work. I think it would be super fun!
Big Hugs,
