Halloween swap cards

Since I've been home from convention in July, I have been to a couple of demonstrator gatherings and when Stampin' Up! demonstrators get together, they SWAP!  Each demonstrator makes several of the same card and swaps them with other demonstrators for their cards!  When you get home, you have all different cards done by different people with different stamps and supplies--doesn't that sound great?  I am going to post a few of my favorites in the next few days, I want to give credit to the card maker, so if the info is on the back I will share it, if you recognize a card that doesn't have info, please leave me a comment and I will add it!

Favorite Designer Series Paper!

Stampin' Up! has some great Designer Series paper, some I love, some I like and some I get because I know some of my customers might like it, but it not "me".  The DSP in the Holiday Catalog called Howlstooth and Scaringbone (in digital and cardstock) is one my all time favs!  I love the colors!  I love the patterns!  And I really love that I don't have to use it just for Halloween or fall, but I can use it for lots of projects!  Here is a Thinking of you card that is just a long postcard size 9 1/2 x 4, perfect for quick notes--and even better now because all the prices from our printer have dropped!  I can print off a few of these and have them on hand for any occasion!  I can also add an actual Antique brad and make it a hybrid project!  That's what I like about My Digital Studio!  I can do what I want!  Get your free 30-day trial here!  You'll like it, just try it!

Spider Cider Tag

This is a project I did at my last class!  It was very simple and used a few fun tools, especially the Big Shot!  It uses the Two Tags die and the Spider Web embossing folder.  We also used the Simply Scored to make our cute little rosette behind the stamped image (this one is a little smaller than the others) and the ladies got to use our new silicone craft sheet and a glue gun to glue our rosette down! (Crafters, you need one of these!) The stamp set is Monster Munchies and I added a couple Googlies to the eyes! The Spider Cider stamp was stamped in Tangerine Tango and then colored with a Basic Black marker. Last thing was to use the 1 3/8 inch circle punch to make the hole to go over the bottle!  We had a choice of IBC root beer or cream soda!  These would be fun at your Halloween party!

Fancy Frames download!

I love the new Fancy Frames download!  The frames are so cute for all sorts of applications, they look so real!  This is a card that I made for the weekly MyDigitalStudio.net challenge, which was using any of the September 2012 downloads.  I love the polka dot DSP from Howlstooth and Scaringbone--one of my favorite Designer Series Paper!  The color combination is Basic Gray, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, and Very Vanilla.
