Eeek! Halloween Mouse!

For some reason the little mouse in the Stampin Up Spooky Cat set fascinates me.  He's so much fun to use.  And he's all over that BOO!  The "Eeek" is from an older Whipper Snapper set.  I've added the new Stampin Up black rhinestone jewels, punched out the eeek with the Classic Label punch and adhered it to Pumpkin Pie glimmer paper.  A thin layer of the glimmer paper is the mat for the Boo!  It's hard to tell in the photo but the lone mouse running across the card was stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed.  He's shiny cute in person!  And yes, I fussy cut him. 

Thanks for stopping in today!

Eclipse Card for Halloween

I'm not sure where I was going with this card.  Can you tell?  I love the eclipse technique and wanted to try it.  This is what I came up with.  The elements on the card are Stampin Up from the current Spooky Cat set.  The little pumpkins are from a retired set - Spooky Fun.  I really like making Halloween projects.  You'll probably see a few more Halloween themed posts from me before the big night!

Have a great day.

Spooky Cat for Halloween!

This spooky cat and her Halloween bonnet were snipped directly from the new Stampin Up designer series paper "Spooky Night".  The other elements on the card are all from my stash: spider web and spider die, the Boo and the spider web embossing folder.  The bow is from a retired Stampin Up die and it sports a rhinestone jewel.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Hope your weekend is a good one!

Halloween U-Fold Card

This is an oversized/odd sized card.  It measures 8x6 when folded flat so I need to make an envelope for it if I decide to mail it.  I'd been wanting to try this kind of fold for a while after seeing all the fabulous cards on Pinterest. So this is my first one and I'm really happy with it.  Next one will be a A2 size hopefully.  On this one I used a lot of different products I hadn't used in a while.  The dsp is current Stampin Up - Spooky Night - as are the pumpkins I hand cut from that paper. The little kitty peeking at those pumpkins is a Penny Black die from a year or two ago. It's hard to tell in the photo but the kitty was die cut with black glimmer paper and I added some googlie eyes to him.

In case you're wondering where I've come from I used to blog at Five Bichons and Me.  Hard to believe it's been two years since I posted to that blog so I decided to start a new one.  Life happens and there are no longer 5 Bichons.  Four of the original five have crossed the rainbow bridge.  Miss Holly is still with me.  And now there is a new girl for her to play with.   Meet miss Sugar.

She is keeping miss Holly on her paws that's for sure.  Speaking of miss Holly here she is.

Even though it's been too long since I did any blogging I still play with my stamping toys.  I love to make cards and I do a scrapbook page now and then.  I'm still a hobby demonstrator with Stampin Up but I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to do that.  There are so many great products out there to play with so time will tell.  This is my first post to this blog.  I hope you enjoy your visit.  Come back often.

Thanks for stopping in today.
