These Halloween treats are so adorable. It was as simple as stamp, punch and attach with SNAIL Adhesive. I have had so much fun with the inexpensive Carved & Candlelit stamp set with last couple of months. And, the Scallop Circle Punch has turned out to be so versatile.
The little ones of Reed City, MI will be treated to these little goodies this evening.
Recently I held my annual Fast & Fabulous Christmas Cards rubber stamping event. Each guest is treated to ten different card designs that are all fast, yet fabulous. To set the mood for Christmas card making in the warm days we've been experiencing in Reed City, MI, my guests were greeted with Christmas decorations, holiday scents, Christmas music and, of course, Christmas cookies.
I just love the convenience of the precut and scored card stock and wonderful accessories that normally only offered in variety packs in the Holiday Glitz Promotion packets.
This card used the textured Wild Wasabi and Real Red Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock and Real Red zig zag ribbon all cut to size and included in the kit. I added the smallest piece of Wild Wasabi Card Stock to complete this card design.
Just add stamps!
The Circle Ice Rhinestone Brads add such a great touch to our stamping projects. And, it is so hard to pick a favorite pattern from the Prints Designer Series Paper. They are the remaining pieces from the Holiday Glitz Promotion packet and were used here. Much to my delight, 15 extra Whisper White Card Stock pieces were included with the kit!
There are still Holiday Glitz kits available. Contact me to order yours today!

Stampin' Smiles,
Card Crew gives me the opportunity to teach new techniques. Every month there are three projects. Typically it will be two greeting cards and a CD calendar page for the following month.
November Turkey Calendar with the Large Oval Punch and Pick a Petal.
The second stamping project was the new technique I learned at the Philadelphia Regional Stampin' Up!® Seminar. The technique used to create this background is Vitalized Vellum. To do this cool technique you need three coordinating Craft Stampin' Pads® and Vellum Card Stock. Start with the lighest color and rub all over your Vellum Card Stock. Repeat with the second darkest color, leaving some of the first color showing. Repeat second step. Stamp as desired. Solid stamps work best, such as Autumn Fest in the card below.
The third project used the beautiful Stem Silhouettes from the Holiday Mini Collection 2007.

Stampin' Smiles,
October 6 was World Card Making Day. It is a day set aside to kick off our Christmas card making.
In honor of World Card Making Day, I used Snow Burst stamp set from the Holiday Mini Collection 2007 for my One Sheet Wonder Christmas Card Class. My guests loved learning how to stamp one sheet of card stock and then cutting it to use as focal points for ten unique cards.
The Christmas card making fun continues with my upcoming Fast & Fabulous Christmas Cards Class October 22 & 23. Click on the link to my calendar on the left for more information.
