A Holiday card and Halloween Treat bags :)

Good Morning Everyone,

Can you BELIEVE that it is almost the middle of September??? That means that Halloween and Christmas is right around the corner! Well today I made something for both Christmas and Halloween :)

Over at the Christmas Stamping All Year Long blog, Maria challenged us with a sketch challenge and I used the Boys Will be Boys stamp set and the sentiment from Season's Sweetings from Taylored Expressions. I realized that I haven't made any "manly man" cards yet for Christmas - and so it was fun to pull out this stamp set and create this card! Can't wait to make more :)

Card Details:

Paper: Martha Stewart

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Stamps: Boys Will be Boys stamp set and the sentiment from Season's Sweetings from Taylored Expressions.

Accessories: eyelets and cropadile, spellbinders and ribbon from stash, circle butters from CM and scallop punch from SU!

Well, being in the holiday spirit from making this card, I made some fun treat bags for Halloween! I LOVE - I mean LOVE LOVE LOVE this cute little cupcake with the superman costume from the Trick or Sweet II stamp set from Taylored Expressions - seriously - how cute can a cupcake get???!! And I love all the costumes that the cupcakes are wearing - they are just too cute (here is the link to the first Trick or Sweet stamp set from last year) I think the hardest thing about decorating these treatbags was to refrain from eating the candies!

Here are my two quick little treatbags - it was such a cinch to make and can't wait to make more! I love these fun Halloween papers and ribbon that is in the Halloween Key Ingredients.

Here is a close up of these cute cupake superman stamps - I made two superman cupcake stamps - one strawberry and one chocolate :)

Project Details:

Paper: Halloween Key Ingredients.

Ink: Stazon Black

Stamps:Trick or Sweet II stamp set from Taylored Expressions

Accessories: Treat bags from Taylored Expressions, bling from Kaiser, copics

I had a lot of fun making these projects! Now that fall is in the air - I love making these holiday treats! (Do you guys have ideas for what you are going to be for Halloween?)

Hope your Monday is off to a great start!!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog :)

Big hugs

Happy Holiday Monday :)

Good Monday Morning Everyone,

The days are getting colder here and it feels like winter and the holidays are just around the corner! Its really been great to be part of the Christmas Stamping All Year Long group where we have been making cards since the beginning of the year - but somehow with the winter holidays approaching, I still feel way behind! lol! This week, Debbie from the Paper Garden, challenged us to use the paper piecing technique in our cards. This is one of my most fave techniques to use -its just fun to make the DP part of the image. I used Karen Giron's sketch that she created for Taylor's Birthday Bash celebration (check out all the deets here) to make this card:

Card Details: 

Paper: Basic Grey

Ink: Adirondack Expresso

Stamps: Season's Sweetings from Taylored Expressions

Accessories: Corner Rounder, spellbinders, copics, bling from K& co, brown grosgrain.

This has always been one of my fave images - little cuppies with holly on them - so sweet :) This is such a fun challenge - and I hope you join us this week for some paper piecing fun! Check out what awesome creations the rest of the DT have created with this challenge at the Christmas Stampin All Year Long blog!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs!

Sankari :)
