My Digital Studio Hybrid Invitation

Because life isn't busy enough, I decided to let my younger two kids throw a Halloween party! The decorations and games look so fun in the magazines we get--lol.

.

So I revved up My Digital Studio and in no time I had these invitations designed and printed. Since I wanted the base to be black, I printed 4 fronts per page on whisper white cardstock and 4 insides per page, cut them apart, then glued onto the basic black card.

.

Simple and quick--just my style!

Hopefully the rest of the preparations will go as smoothly!

Chance To Win, Question 7

Cards of the Month (local club) meets today! Here is one of the cards we will be making--it's a real hoot!

The chipboard owl is a fun element to use. He is part of the On Board So Tweet collection offered in the Stampin' Up! idea book and catalog. This card uses retired fall designer series paper so if you want the look, you'll have to order this month's Cards of the Month Kit.

A little Shimmer Paint sponged on the eyes after the crushed curry gives just the right touch of glisten. And sponging the edges of the owl himself in chocolate chip finishes him off nicely.

It's a lot of fun to get together and stamp, but even better for me because it's my "job". I am always looking to grow and willing to train so if you would like to join my team let me know! Guess what? With today's technology you don't even have to be within driving distance!

An email today, and you could be ready to roll in a week. And you can decide how much you want to earn. Yes, most earn a little money to put in their pocket and cover their expenses. But you can also be a stamping demonstrator earning a full-time salary.

Now on to another fun part of my job!

Blog Candy Giveaway Question:

Do you prefer traditional Halloween costumes (witch, ghost, fairy) or the character costumes (Star Wars, Buzz Lightyear, Cpt. Jack Sparrow)?

Your answer could win you this fabulous rubber stampers Halloween pack.

Blog Candy Giveaway Question 7
Do you send Halloween cards?

I do not send a lot of Halloween cards. I do remember my mom making some when I was little. One year stands out in my mind. She used black paper and grease pencils. I remember the yellow writing because she made it squiggly like it was scared and it was so cool!! ;) In those days it was a lot harder to make neat cards! We are so lucky to be able to open a catalog and have a world of ideas and supplies at our fingertips.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to get on the mailing list if you're not already (yes, it's all free).

Halloween mojo

I have so much mojo I can hardly sit in my chair! This is my third post today so be sure to check the one before because it's the start of my September blog candy!

***

Today's card idea uses the wonderful Wide Oval Punch from Stampin' Up! I love the versatility of the punch. It is not too large, but big enough for images and to make this fun (and easy) pumpkin. The stem is punched with the Modern Label Punch

• The layout is from today's mojomonday 104 sketch. It's a great one for round objects.

This is a 5-1/2"x4-1/4" card with the fold along the top.

• the background was created by randomly inking the diamond Texturz plate before running it in the Big Shot
• each piece of the pumpkin is sponged around the edge before assembling
• ink: basic black, old olive, pumpkin pie
• stamp sets: Sweet Centers (holiday mini catalog), Teeny Tiny Wishes
• cardstock: kraft, whisper white, pumpin pie, old olive
• accessories: 5/8" old olive ribbon (a must have), 1/2" striped grosgrain in pumpkin pie

That's it for me today! Be sure to check out that Halloween theme blog candy.

Classroom treats

Today's rubber stamping idea is a treat--like for Halloween! Using Stampin' Up!'s new Sweet Centers stamp set and sweet treat cups, these go together quickly. And when you need to mass produce a project, quick is a necessity.I've been waiting to show this project thinking I would get some candy to put in the cup but I keep forgetting! The completed size is 3-1/4"x3-1/4" so you can get 3 orange pieces out of a piece of 8-1/2"x11" cardstock.

• cardstock: only orange, whisper white
• ink: basic black, old olive (sponged around the edge)
• accessories: sweet treat cup, black gingham ribbon
• stamp sets: Sweet Centers, All Holidays
• tools: paper cutter, 1-3/4" circle punch

All supplies are from Stampin' Up! and can be ordered right now from my online store or by emailing me.

On the inside, I just used the center of the image that I punched out. These will be great for making 50+.

The Sweet Centers stamp set, sweet treat cups, and 1-3/4" circle punch are all available in the Holiday Mini-Catalog. You can download a copy in the right side bar or email me so I can send one to you! (US addresses please)
