OK, here I go again…LOL…I'm getting ready for my appearance on CH Morning Live tomorrow (Fri 5 Oct, approx 9:15 am), and this is one of the projects I'm taking along with me. I'm planning on showing that card making is not a scary venture! Not sure if I'll have time to show much of it…so here it is for your viewing pleasure 🙂
I used the Spider Web Folder in the Big shot with Lucky Limeade cardstock, and then gently sponged with Basic Gray ink to emphasize the embossing just a bit more. Then used the Ghoulish Googlies Bundle from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalogue – which includes the Googly Ghouls stamp set and the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit. I love the googlie eyes… Stamped on the printed tag from the kit, added a strip of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series paper, backed it with some Basic Black cardstock and then onto a Pumpkin Pie card. Quick and fun. Hope you'll be able to tune in, and be sure to come back and visit www.yamstamps.com because I'm planning a video tutorial to celebrate World Cardmaking Day, Saturday, October 6th!

This is the card I showed a sneak peek of earlier this week. We had a lot of fun at the Stamp a Stacks this week, and everyone went home with 8 cards and 2 tags ready for the holiday season – plus the remainder of Basic Rhinestone "bling" that they didn't use on their cards in class.
I love the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catalogue. Every single image has a coordinating framelit that you can use with your Big Shot to perfectly cut out the image. We paired a couple of ornaments with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, added the bling and created a beautiful, elegant card for someone special. Well, for those who came to the Stamp a Stack, TWO someone specials since they get to make two of every card and tag.
If you're interested in building up your Christmas Card stash, the next Christmas Stamp a Stacks are in October – Thursday, October 18th in the evening (doors open at 6:30 pm), or Sunday, October 21st 1pm start. See the events page or contact me to register. Payment due in advance please & thanks.
