Spider Punch Image

 I found this card on Pinterest and a couple of blogs and just couldn't resist making it.  I made it in a couple of my classes as well.  One class we went crazy and made the spiders a lot of cool colours.

Then Hallowe'en came and I knew what cards I would be making for my awesome Grandsons, James and Cameron. Cameron is just one (as of last weekend) and so cute, but can't tell Gramma things yet - well in a language Gramma can understand anyways.  But if you ask James what his favourite colour is, his answer is ALWAYS Black.  It never wavers.  So I created it in black for both of them, with one red spider. 

James' card I put on a black card base ....

 And Cameron's has a red card base .....

I don't have any Hallowe'en stamps - I know GASP huh?  Well didn't until yesterday with the fabulous 15% off Sell A Stamp Spooktacular that Stampin' Up! had yesterday.  Now I own a few of them.  Anyways, I had to hand write the sentiment.

Ink: none
Marker:  Basic Black
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red

Happy Stampin' and hope you have a Spooktacular Hallowe'en .....

Happy Halloween - Kinder Egg Treat Holder

We just got back from spending Halloween Trick or Treating with our very special Grandsons.  Although Cameron is only 3 days old, he had a costume as well.  So cute, it was a pumpkin baby sleeper!  James dressed up as a Fireman and his Dad and I took him out trick or treating.  His bag got full real fast, and when it was too heavy for him to carry, we headed home for some Grampa time.  Then I got to have some special Cameron cuddles.  Oh I love that new baby smell!
Anyways, before we went over I whipped up a holder for two Kinder Eggs I got for James. He has not had them yet, so I wanted it to be special. Here is what I came up with .....

He was so excited when he saw it because it had his name on it.  Although he is just over 3 yrs old, he can read and write his own name and he knows all the alphabet and can count over 20.  Sorry, got off track there a bit!

I used the box the eggs came in as a template to create the holder.  I am planning on getting a tutorial together over the next few days for you.  I took lots of pictures!  This would be awesome for Christmas as well.  Next time Cameron will be old enough I can do one for him too.

Happy Stampin' .......

Halloween Owl Treat Bag

Double Embossed Hallowe'en Card

I had a leftover card kit from THIS card. I decided to turn it into a Hallowe'en card.  I don't usually make them, but some Hallowe'en images come with other sets so I had some stamps to use.  A couple of punches and some double embossing and I have this card to share with you .....

I still have my retired bat punch and used it and a ghost punched using the Owl Builder punch.
