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

Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks - Day2 - Trick or Sweet II

Good Morning Everyone,

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for the Day 2 of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions!!! Half of us on the Baker's Dozen will be featuring the stamp set: Spooky Expressions and the rest will be featuring the stamp set: Trick or Sweet II (it is the continuation of Trick or Sweet I released last year). I am SO psyched to be featuring the Trick or Sweet II set because first of all - cupcakes are just plain cute - but then - you put a costume on them - and the cute factor goes up 500 notches!!! 

Taylor has an awesome Halloween Key Ingredients kit featuring  cardstock, coordinating DP, ribbon, super cute epoxy buttons, brads, chipboard letters and more! SERIOUS Halloween must haves!

Card #1 Fright Night Fun:

Here is  card featuring the whole cupcake crew from this year!!! I love each and every one of them! There is a cute little metal candy brad on the top right corner that is part of the Halloween bundle:

And Now starts the Frog series :)

I can't even tell you how MUCH I LOVE this little froggie stamp set - I made a few cards using this image - and just wanted to show the versatility of this stamp set: it can be used for both Halloween cards as well as other kinds of cards:

Card # 3- Have a Toadally Awesome Halloween:

I love these papers that are in this kit - they are such fun Halloween papers and I love this sentiment of have a Toad-ally Awesome Halloween - soo cute - here is my card using this sentiment:

Using the same kind of layout but a different sentiment - I created this:

Card #4 - Kissed A Frog Found a Prince:

I love this sentiment - it is so cute - and so using more of the papers and ribbon from this Halloween Kit- I created this:

And as I was making this card - I had an idea to try to make a spinner card - where on one side - there was a frog and on the other side there was a prince - so I created this spinner card:

Card #5 - Kissed a Frog, Found a Prince Card (Spinner Card)

I really loved making this one  - it was so fun and easy (uses a 2" circle) - you have to try it!!!!

Here is one side:

and then here is the flip side:

To show you a little more of the action aspect of this card - here is a little video that I made for this card (hope you like it - its my very first video on this blog !! it does have some audio music - so be sure not to have the volume high)

As you can tell I had a total blast making these cards and the video because I completely love this stamp set - it is just soooo cute and fun and so versatile as well!!!

The best part is - that even after making all these cards - 

I still have a ton of DP and items left over from the 

Halloween Key Ingredients kit!! 

Gotta love that (and good thing too because tomorrow brings the reveal of another Halloween stamp set!!! woot!)
