Stampin' Up! Twick or Tweet Ghost Card





I love the new Night and Day paper, and used it to inspire me to do this card. I love Halloween and this new stamp set is just my style, with the old time theme. I stamped the ghost image onto some of the pattern paper and then you open it up and inside is the ghosts on black card stock with Craft white ink. Use the "slit punch" on the black card stock to put the button onto and it also holds the little window down.

Silly Pictures of the Boys


Yes that is a Halloween tree behind them.. lol


The Boys found this Cow girl outfit and some wigs in the Halloween stuff. I have had that outfit for over 14 years, It was my Daughter's when she was 7 years old (2004). It was a hoot when the boys came up to my room all dressed up and showing off the posing..like a girl.. lol. I just thought that I would share my Pic's with you all!!

Pirate Time Treasure chest and Jewelry box

Treasure Chest and Jewelry Box from Priate Stamp Camp and Jewelry Party




Pirate time Kit

I had to make a Jewelry box, with it being a Jewelry party.. lol. Jordan gave me 12 of these gold Jewelry boxes for this project. I used the pirate eye patch from the Kit on the top of the box, put the flags together that are also in the Kit used the tooth picks, tied them on with the eye patch elastic and red polka dot ribbon. I gave every one a skull braclet .. I just did not have any left to put in the pic.



The Treasure Chest was easy, I just added the Cross bones and skull with white craft ink on Chocolate chip paper and glitter on a scallop. I gave every one a skull and gold coin chocolates.. yum.. for the treasure.. lol so cute!

The Girls loved all the projects

Beware Pirate Cards

Pirate Stamp Camp and Jewelry Party Cards


The Pink in this card is not showing very well in the photo, it is much brighter than it looks. I am not sure why I thought of the ribbon hanging off the card, I was just trying to make something I had not seen yet. Its a little crazy but cute. When you put the Jumbo grommet on the card, just place it where you want it pushing into the card stock, then use a hand held punch to cut the center out before you attach it to the card. Then add the Jumbo grommet and I just used double stick tape to hold all the ribbon behind the card and tied knots at the ends so they would not fray.

Accessories:
Gingham ribbon pink and moss (both retired 2008), 1/4 Grosgrain ribbon pink and white


I really like how this card turned out. I used Stampin Ups new glitter paint "champagne mist". I used an aqua painter and painted the edge of the card and eyelet border, it gave it a cool gold look. I also painted the white card stock before I stamped the ship and word "ARRRR". If you try to paint the gold after you stamp it, the red ink will run all over your image.

Stampin' Up! Scary Skeleton Card



This card was done for a make and take. I wanted the cape to look kind of real so I used fabric, made a tie out of black ribbon and tied it on his neck. I cut an extra head and added it on top of the first cut out to make the skeleton head pop.

I really love this old stamp set Booglie Eyes. I made this card a while back and never got it onto my blog... SO here it is! This is the set that started the craze with little wiggle eyes on cards. so much fun!!

I want my Mummy Card

















Use real Cheese Cloth... Plus the Cheese Cloth Background Stamp to give it this look. I did tea-dye the Cheese Cloth before I put it on the card.



Mummy trick or treat card

In the background is just the packaging from my Martha Steward Gaint Skeleton.




When I stamped the Background stamp Cheese cloth, I only inked the middle of the big stamp to make it look like a peice of cheese cloth across the front of the card. I used shimmer paper, but it is hard to tell in the photo, I like the shine it gives the card. The trick or treat bag is from another old stamp set bitty boo's too.
