I LOVE this single stamp from the Holiday Assortment, Prince of Peace! It makes such an elegant card! Once again I've paired it with the fabulous Modern Medley designer series paper - which has the musical notes. Handel's Messiah is such an elegant, majestic song, I felt I needed to match that by making an elegant card. The beautiful Champagne Glimmer paper paired with Very Vanilla card stock makes for instant elegance!
The Very Vanilla seam binding was the perfect finishing touch. I love how the Deco Labels framelits perfectly match and cut out the stamped image. Who has time for hand cutting at Christmas? Let the Big Shot and the matching framelits do the job for you in half the time!
I also used the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder to add some dimension to my neutral card. Thanks for stopping by - happy stamping to you!

Another fun mail day! Another fun card from Cherie Manderschied!
This one combines two great sets: Another Thank You, which is only available in the Photopolymer (completely clear stamps that are remounted on to clear blocks) and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (rubber, available in clear mount or wood mount).
I love the little flower accent! Thanks for the great card Cherie!
This fast and easy card is on our Note Cards and Envelopes - it would make a quick Christmas card or a great Christmas thank you card. I used the Christmas Collectibles bundle which includes the set and matching punch:

Boo! I'm just having too much fun with ghost peeps this year - they are so darn cute! This time I'm using the new food safe Decorative Window Boxes from page 36 of the Stampin' Up Holiday Catalog. They are just $4.95 for a package of 6 boxes and they are food safe. They come with the window and the white printed design - all I had to do was embellish! This was another one of the great projects we made at my Halloween Tricks and Treats class!
Since I have pumpkins on the front of my box I put some Reese's pumpkins under the ghosts in the box.
The ghost comes from the owl builder punch - of course! I love the owl punch - it is so versatile!
Punch art takes some time but the end result is so adorable that it is worth the time! I punched an extra circle and an extra oval for the back side of both pumpkins since part of them can be seen through the window. You can see this below:

This project was totally inspired by the "Wicked" poster for the musical. My niece Amelia is a junior at University of Iowa and is a huge fan of the musical "Wicked" - so this will make a perfect treat for her Halloween care package! Here we are visiting Amelia on campus last fall - I can't wait to send her this fun care package!
I had been wanted to make a witch dress with the Dressup Framelits - so I decided to make a box for a treat. That is when inspiration struck about the broom lolli!
I got the sucker's at See's Candies - when we made this project in my Halloween Tricks and Treats class the suckers we used were the See's Chocolate Orange which had halloween theme wrappers. You could also use a Tootsie Pop or Blow Pop. This one is one of the regular "vanilla" ones.
Here is a video on how to make the Broom Lolli:
And here is a video on how to make the dress box:
Don't forget to add lots of bling!
Here are the written directions - use the video to clarify or post any questions you have below!
1. You’ll need 1 piece of Basic Black card stock cut to 2 1/2” x 6
1/4” and scored at the center (3 1/8”) for the dress. Fold in half and cut. Place the fold past the top cutting area
before cutting out with the dress up framelit.
2. Open the dress up and emboss it with the Beautifully Baroque
embossing folder. Make sure to center the baroque design in the center of the
skirt in the front.
3. Cut 2 of the dress forms from Old Olive – you only need the
shoulders and the neck, discard the rest or save it for another project.
4. Face – punch out two from the small oval punch. You will have to
cut these down to a little more then half during assembly so they don’t stick
out above the hat.
5. Below is the box pattern. Use sticky strip to assemble.
score at ¾”
on all sides
Overall size:
3" x 2 1/2"
6. Adhere box with stick strip to the inside of the dress
“tent”.
7. Hat is from the “Best of Halloween” set and is embossed on Smoky
Slate cardstock with black embossing power.
When you cut it out, layer a piece of black behind it so you are cutting
out two hats.
8. Use Glue Dots to attach the shoulders, face, and hat.
9. Sucker is from See’s candies. The stick is sponged with Early Espresso ink,
allow ample drying time. To make the “broom wisps” use the Burlap ribbon. Place a piece of sticky strip on the bottom
seam (the long edge), extend a little sticky strip past the end of the burlap
ribbon so you have a little “pull” piece.
This will make it easier to remove the red plastic backing later. Don’t remove the backing yet. Cut off the
other seam off of one long side and pull the threads out. Remove piece of sticky strip on the remaining
seam and wrap around the sucker stick.
10. Embellish the dress with Black Stampin’ Glitter using the two
way glue pen and rhinestones that have been colored black with a Sharpie
marker.
