Halloween Card Made Simple

In my last post, I indicated I made a purchase from a company I never ordered from before. The company is called Reverse Confetti and I love it! I purchased this darling little Double Scallop Garland Confetti Cuts die and couldn't be happier with the results. I'm going to be using this for birthday cards, Christmas, baby cards . . . anything really festive. Love it!  I can tell you that the item arrived quickly and packaged well. I highly recommend Reverse Confetti products and will be ordering again from them.

 

"Happy Halloween" Card Supplies:

Stampin Up Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie

Reverse Confetti Dies: Double Scallop Garland

Other: Doodlebug stickers (happy halloween), Recollections Enamel Dot Stickers

 

October is here!  I am a big fan of the fall season. How about you?

 

Enjoy your day and happy stamping!

 

Tangerine Tango for Halloween

The Stampin' Up! color Tangerine Tango is a great shade of orange to use for your Halloween cards and projects. I am typically drawn to Pumpkin Pie (an oldie but a goodie), but Tangerine Tango is a new bright & fun shade of orange.

I wanted to do something a little different for a Halloween card so I attached the Tangerine Tango/Basic Gray layer crooked on the Basic Black card base. Just something a little different.

Are you enjoying the new Holiday Mini? I have a Christmas card I'll be posting soon to show you a quick & easy card you can mass produce for the holidays.

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

Twick or Tweet

The theme for the Pals Paper Arts challenge today is Halloween. What fun!!! I used one of the stamps from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini being released September 1st. It's called "Twick or Tweet". What a cute name for a Halloween stamp set, don't you think?

This card has many layers. I started with a black card base. I wanted to "pop" the Rich Razzleberry so I first embossed it with a Stampin' Up! Texturz Plate and then glued it on top of Crushed Curry just leaving a hint of the Curry color show.

The little tweety bird is standing in grass I drew freehand to tie in my Old Olive color Top Note die cut. If you have any questions about this or any other creation of mine, please don't hesitate to e-mail me or leave me a comment at the end of this post for more directions. I would be more than happy to share!

You light up the place with that smile on your face

Whew! I cannot believe it's Sunday already. Where does the time go?

I made this Halloween card for a good friend of mine who truly "lights up the place". The stamp, cardstock, and patterned paper is all from Stampin' Up! I pulled out my Making Memories Tag Maker to make the stamped image into a tag. I put a pop dot on the tag and secured it to a black scalloped circle. Then I took a silver pen and lightly edged the outline of the card to tie it all together. The patterned paper is simply 4 squares cut into 2.5x2.25 inches. The back ribbon is tied around the card and then I attached an extra knot to each side. There are also two black brads at the top and bottom corner.

Here are a couple announcements to keep in mind:

1)Stampin' Up! Batty for You set will be -20% through the end of September only here at Tiffany's Cardtique.

2) World Card Making Day is October 4th and I have many things to share with you that day! I will be releasing my first card kit for sale and to give you a little teaser, it's a Christmas card kit! Everything you need will be included - stamps, markers, cardstock, patterned paper, etc. I will have color pictures along with instructions to make it easy for you. Whether you're new to stamping or have been doing it for 20 years, this kit will make it easy and fast to produce your own Christmas cards people will marvel over this holiday season.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and took some time to stamp! Thanks for stopping by!

Creepy Crawly, Oh My Golly!

Hello everyone!

TGIF in a big way!!!! I live for the weekend!!! Are you glad it's Friday?

So how do you like my Creepy Crawly card? It may be difficult to see in the photo, but the top black section is that glitter paper from Doodlebug. I love it! Then I took my glue pen and added Doodlbug black glitter to each hanging spider and a dot on each scallop of the Stampin' Up! scallop circle punch. The fence is so awesome. It's from the Martha Stewart collection. Gotta love Martha! The spooky looking black tree is from the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog, due out October 1st, and is called "Season of Friendship". I used it in my last post too. The spiders and "Creepy Crawly" is from Michaels clear dollar stamps bin. Aren't they cute? The stamp on the scallop circle is from the Stampin' Up! set "Batty for You" and is my -20% off special this month. Isn't it a cool Halloween card?

If you have any trouble ordering off my Stampin' Up! website, please e-mail me. Some have been experiencing difficulty. I can either give you a call and help walk you through it, or I can place the order for you. This is a new system for SU! so there may be some bumps along the way. Thank you for your patience and visiting my blog today.

More to come this weekend! Take care.
