My downline and a couple of Stampin' Up! Fanatics (our loving customers and friends) have started to gather for card swaps and shoebox swaps. The following are samples from our Halloween Swap. Please note that some of the products are retired products and may no longer be available for purchase.

Tags, Tags, and More Tags

I wanted to share a few things that we did at a workshop this past weekend. The hostess had requested tags because most of her guests were new to stamping and wanted to show them something really quick and easy that could easily be made and used (besides cards). These are the things that I came up with and think that it came out really well! 

I also couldn't let them go without something cute to store these handmade tags. So we used my favorite die cutting machine, the Big Shot, and the exclusive Stampin' Up Matchbox XL Die, found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Supplies Used: Big Shot, Matchbox XL Die, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Square Punch, Large and Small Tag Punches; Oval All Stamp Set, Say It With Scallops Set, and Cheap Talk Stamp Set; Whisper White Cardstock, Chocolate Chip Cardstock, Kiwi Kiss Textured Cardstock, Baja Breeze Cardstock, and Baja Breeze Designer Series Paper; Window Sheets, and So Saffron Ribbon (from Sale -a- Bration); Pacific Point Classic Ink Pad, Kiwi Kiss Classic Ink Pad, Baja Breeze Classic Ink Pad, and Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad.

Briefcase Card

I was commissioned to make a birthday card for a man. The customer wanted something similar to the purse card. The first thing that came to my mind was a briefcase. I love the simplicity of it but its fun and classy! Hopefully, the recipient will love it too!

Happy Halloween

One of my goals this year was to join a non-profit group and be a volunteer. I was fortunate enough to join the Ronald McDonald House through Stampin' Up!

Demonstrators get together and bring our craft ideas to the home and help the families try to get their minds off of what's going on and have fun making paper crafts. We also make treats throughout the year for the families staying at the home.

These were my contributions this year for Halloween. I love how it turned out and I hope whoever got my creations enjoyed it.
