Trick or Treat! Mini Peppermint Patty Spiders

Greetings everyone!

I'm sorry it's been awhile since I've posted! I had a really rough week at work and I wasn't feeling very creative in the evenings. Some weeks are better than others.

Anyways, we don't get many trick or treaters where we live, so I am making up a bunch of these mini Peppermint Patty spiders to give out to the approximately 6 kids we do get and for all the kids at my sitters house.

I saw spiders similar to these on Splitcoaststampers some time ago and jotted down the pattern. If you are the original creator of these, please drop me an e-mail so I can give you the credit. I thought they were adorable and they are so easy to make! Got your punches ready? Let's go!

Supplies:
Stampin' Up! Punches - Scallop Circle, Photo Corners, 3/4" Circle, 1/4" Circle
Adhesive
Mini Peppermint Patties

Instructions:
Punch out two black scallop circles. Punch out four large photo corners in one color and four small photo corners in another color. Layer the smaller on top of the larger. Adhere photo corners to each scallop circle positioning the ones in front a little lower than the ones in back.

Punch out two white 3/4" circles for the eyes. Use the 1/4" circle to cut out holes in the eyes. Punch 1/4" circle out of red cardstock for the nose. Adhere all circles to the scallop circle to create your spiders face.

Use double sided tape to adhere both scallop circles to the mini Peppermint Patty and your done!

Please e-mail me if you have any questions. I will be back this weekend with more! Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday!

Inspiration Challenge for Splitcoaststampers!

It's me again! I just went live with my Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!

The inspiration for this card came from the cover of the current Coldwater Creek catalog. Did I do ok? I was so nervous I misspelled the title of the posting on Splitcoaststampers. Hopefully they fixed it for me!

I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but the catalog cover has raindrops on the leaves so I used Stampin' Up! Crystal Effects to add little droplets on my leaves. I wrapped the embossed black background with raffia. All supplies are listed on my posting over at Splitcoaststampers.

I can't wait to see what everyone else submits. Be sure to check out the gallery. The keyword is WCMDIC08. If you play along, leave me a comment to let me know!

My Christmas Card Kit is up next. Stay tuned!!!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Hello and welcome to a special World Card Making Day at Tiffany's Cardtique!

I am so thankful for all the friends and great customers I have met through card making & Stampin' Up!, that I really want to take this day to say thank you! I blog and sell Stampin' Up! for a hobby and LOVE every minute of it. I am so grateful!

In case you have no clue about how World Card Making Day came into existence, like I did, here is an awesome website about it http://www.worldcardmakingday.com/ and an excerpt from the site:

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day. Founded by Paper Crafts magazine in an effort to bring card makers together at the busiest card-making season of the year, it was first held on October 7, 2006. The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only; however, due to the positive response it received and the worldwide popularity of card making, Paper Crafts recognized the need to expand, and the holiday transformed into World Card Making Day.Now in its second year, World Card Making Day has been expanded to include a dedicated web site; a wider, more inclusive level of sponsorship; and a marketing campaign designed to get the word out at the grassroots level. These steps were taken in hopes of uniting the card-making community (hobbyists, retailers, manufacturers, and more) and celebrating the connection and creativity that is at the heart of card making.

So what does Tiffany's Cardtique have in store for you today? Well, I am going to have some blog candy later, the release of my Christmas Card Kit, and my debut at 3pm on Splitcoaststampers hosting the Inspiration Challenge. Sound good? I sure hope so!

Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back soon with blog candy!!!!

The Season of Friendship Lasts Forever Stampin' Up Holiday Mini Catalog

Happy October!

My card today was inspired by the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog that you can order from today through January 18th! This is one of the best mini catalogs I've seen and I want it all. My favorite set out of the mini is the one I used on this card - Season of Friendship. It has 6 stamps total including a bare tree, leaves, flower, snowflake, bird, and the beautiful saying shown on my card. It's a set to use year-round. How can you pass it up? Since I couldn't, it is my sale of the month set which means if you order this one, you get it -20% off the retail price of $23.95.

I used only 4 colors of Stampin' Up! ink to create this card. I used Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, More Mustard, & Always Artichoke. The card base is in Always Artichoke. I stamped the tree on Whisper White cardstock and then colored each leaf on the stamp a different color using the brush end of the Stampin' Up! marker. I matted the tree on More Mustard and then Ruby Red cardstock.

The ribbon is a velvet, burnt orangish color from American Crafts.

I used a 1 inch and 3/4 inch circle punch to add the little bird. I paper pierced around the Ruby Red circle and added the entire piece to the card on a pop dot.

The sentiment was stamped in Close to Cocoa and then cut into a rectangluar shape. I used my Stampin' Up! Ticket Corner punch on this piece to give it a little interest. I also paper pierced under the saying. This piece was also matted to Ruby Red and More Mustard cardstock.

In case you missed it, I made a little gift set using this stamp set a few weeks ago. Click here to view that posting.

Enjoy looking at the Holiday Mini Catalog and remember you can order directly from me 24/7 on my Stampin' Up! website or drop me an e-mail & I'll be happy to do the work for you! Take care and thank you for stopping by!
