PLUNGING WITH A TREAT!!!

Happy Halloween all!!!! It's Friday! And time for another  

The Paper Plunge!!!! 

This week's challenge was to create "anything but a card"!!!  A little more challenging but fun!

So I created a cute little treat holder! It's kind of hard to tell, but it's perfect for m&m's!!!

It's a cute little 5-sided tube with a cover created using the retired Fancy Flower Punch.  I wish they wouldn't retire the punches!!! Although it is still available on our amazing Clearance Rack!!!!

It's perfect for cardstock or DSP. I didn't have any current Halloween DSP left, so I used my Bordering Bloom stamp set to create the design! It's just the right size! 

I added a few little images from the Holiday Home stamp set from the 

Holiday Catalog. Little cuties!!

The ghost & pumpkin are of course from the very popular Fall Fest stamp set, also in the Holiday Catalog!

It's a cute little way to get a Halloween (or other!) treat! Want to know how to make it?? Let me know! I'd be happy to do a little Private Class for you & your friends!!!! Contact me now!!!

So be sure to hop over to The Paper Plunge and check out what the other members of the Design Team came up with! I know you'll get some great ideas! Then you can even add your OWN
"anything but a card"!!!

Happy Stampin!

PLUNGING INTO HALLOWEEN!!!!

So Halloween is only 1 week away, and we are getting ready for Halloween over at The Paper Plunge!!! Our posts this week are Halloween or Dark (and stormy-my addition!!! lol)

We have an awesome blog going over at The Paper Plunge!! I hope you'll join us each week! We have some great ideas to check out, and you can even add your own creation if you'd like! No need tho! Just join us!!!

So here's my Halloween card:

I am having so much fun with my Holiday Home stamp set and its matching Homemade Holiday Framelits!!! I sure hope Stampin' Up! decides to include this in next year's Annual Catalog! Right now though you can order it from the Holiday Catalog!!!  It's so much fun for so many occasions!!!

Here I went a little Halloween spooky!!! I "messed with" the house to make it look  haunted!!! I love that little ghost & spider!!! So cute!!!

The moon was done with some brayer work. You probably figured that out already! It's perfect for skies & landscapes!!! A little washi tape adds just that extra pop!!!

The sentiment is also from Holiday Home! But it's straight you say! How did you do that you ask! I just "curved" it when I put it on the block! I then was able to cut it with  my Bitty Banners Framelits! Cool, huh?!

So I hope this puts you in the Halloween mood!!! Don't forget to go now to visit The Paper Plunge!!! You are guaranteed to LOVE what you see!!!!

My card was also entered over at Can You Case It!!! Go check out the fun stuff over there!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!

TAKING THE "PLUNGE" WITH TAGS!!!!

Hello all!!! Welcome to another The Paper Plunge day!!! I love Fridays!!

This week's challenge was to use a tag! I kinda went outside the box!!! Here's my tag:

I was going to do it on a card, but I'm going to a housewarming next week. I'm bringing my friend a nice bottle of red-her favorite!!! I figured rather than a card, why not decorate the bottle! So I made a rather large tag to hang on the bottle!!!

Pretty much all the products on this tag are from our amazing 

Holiday Catalog!!! The stamp set is Holiday Home, but not used for holidays! I love that this makes a nice housewarming sentiment.  Add the

 Homemade Holiday Framelits to go with it, & you've got a winning combo!!!

The ribbon is the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon. It's so pretty!! Wish it came in more colors! Easy to work with too!!!

The base cardstock is from the Under the Tree Specialty DSP Pack. It's a very thick cardstock so perfect for this type project. I got it to use with the 

Box Punchboard! Works amazing!!!

The houses were colored in with my Blendabilities. Not a lot of blending, but I like the way they cover an area better than the markers. There are no lines!!! A little Dazzling Details looks like frost on the windows!!! 

So be sure to visit our page this week. I'm sure you can whip up a cute little tag to add to the challenge!!! We'd love to see your design!!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!!
