Happy Wicked Creepy Spooky Halloween

I pulled out all the stops to create this fun and bright Halloween page! I included sentiments from the Word Wishes dies (from the last few posts you can tell I am really into this set of dies!), the Wicked dies and the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. I had to add a cute little monster, he is just a ‘little creepy’ from the Boo to You stamp set plus some spooky spiders and itsy bits bats! I hope you have a fun day celebrating with your families today!

Pretty Packaging! Who cares what is inside?

As my kids and nieces and nephews have gotten older I have found that I need some creative ideas for gift card packaging! Sometimes our easiest inspiration can come from the holiday cards we create! I used this card (which is a design we are making at my Christmas Card Class Friday night) to decorate this gold foil pizza box. Inside I can tuck a gift card and a couple of treats. It is always more fun to give things in pretty packaging!

This card features my favourite set of the moment the Word Wishes (149629) dies to create the sparkly Merry Christmas along with the ‘sprig’ element from the Christmas Layers Dies (150654). Carrying both of these elements and color pallet over allowed the card and pizza box to look like a team. I am so happy with the end result!

Happy Wicked Halloween

Well I thought I would celebrate the fact that we can now stamp with Purple Posy ink! Yay! It is finally available! Actually truth be told, I needed to make a Halloween layout for one of my monthly groups and was running low on my 12x12 card stock options. I wish so badly that Stampin’ Up! would offer all of our amazing colors in 12x12! Alas, they do not so I was forced to be a little unconventional in creating this page. Challenge accepted! Yay! I used all of the new Halloween stamp sets at my disposal on this layout; Boo to You, Wonderfuly Wicked, Spooktacular Bash and my favourite new set To Every Season (see that bitty bat punch? It is a part of the Every Season Punch Pack! 150670) it is a MUST HAVE! I decided to design this page so you can fit a number of 4x4 photos onto it. Sometimes my group members only create one Halloween page so I like to give them an opportunity to add a lot of photos. The Basic Patten Decorative Masks were also a ‘must use’ as they are so versatile and add just the right amount of dimension and texture the card stock. I am also loving the Word Wishes dies (149629) which are in our Annual Catalogue —they are a scrapbookers best friend as they have so many holiday words in the set! Hope you and your crew have an awesome Halloween Season!
