A Boo-tiful Tree

How cute is this???

My pal Theresa Matthews put this display together at our World Card Making Day event Oct. 6th. Theresa is a talented paper artist, whose specialty is 3D creations.

Theresa is also a master at recycling everyday items into works of art. The stacks you see in the lower right of this photo are the plastic tubes our embossing stacks come in. Theresa's filled them with colorfully decorated candles, using the Creepy Crawly designer paper.

This spooky tree was the hit of the event!


Theresa started making this ornament by stamping the image from the Batty for You stamp set twice...once in orange and again in black.

She punched out the black image and added Versamark and glitter, then punched out the orange stamped image with a larger circle punch. Dimensionals were used to adhere the glitzy cat on the larger circle, and then it was layered on top of a scallop-punched circle.

A little ribbon and some beads from the Pretties Kit finishes up these spooky ornaments.

One of Theresa's customers won a drawing for this fantastic tree, and will be proudly displaying it for Halloween. Lucky lady!

Chocolate Snowflake

I just received the new Designer Wrapping Paper from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Collection, and just had to play with it. The sheen of the wrapping paper is so pretty!

Of course you can wrap gifts with it -- and I certainly will -- but I was curious to see what else I could come up with...this paper is so sturdy that I was easily able to use my corner rounder to create a scalloped edge, and to put it through a crimper. Two HUGE rolls come in a great storage box that is just begging to be prettied up. :-)
