Blooms and Butterflies Color Challenge No. 17
I was so excited to join this challenge because I basically had all the card stock that was required. I must admit, however, that this challenge was quite difficult for me because my least favorite color of all time is bright yellow. I decided to use Daffodil Delight as my card base. I had the whole week trying here and there to come up with a good design and it wasn’t easy. So this is what I finally put together. I hope you like the card.

Treat Basket For Your Little Ghouls & Goblins
This is a cute little project that you guys can make for your kids; or give as gifts to adults. I was trying to use up the Halloween designer series paper that I acquired over the summer. I will be making a lot of these cute little baskets to give to my daughter’s friends at school, and some of her teachers.
The materials I used are:
Card Stock – cut a 6 x 6
Designer Series Paper – you need 6 pieces measuring 1 7/8 x 1 7/8
Basket handle (Wisteria Wonder card stock) – 1 piece cut at 3/4 inch X 8 inches
Decorative paper (spiderweb) basic black card stock cut at – 1 inch. by 8 inches
Decorative Scallop circle card stock punched at 2 inches
Witch stamped on 1 1/2 inch. circle

Adhesive
You should put Hershey’s kisses or Chocolate covered raisins to make it look like “witch poop”. The sentiment reads:
THEIR BROOMS FLY SO FAST
THEY DIP AND THEY SWOOP
BUT IF THEY GET SCARED
THEY LEAVE YOU WITCH POOP!
HAPPY CRAFTING!
Halloween Card – Flying Witch
This card was inspired by a fellow demonstrator, Tami White. Although our cards are done differently, the design is the same. I thought of sharing this because the card is so easy to make – plus it is very unique in a way because this is not the typical orange and black Halloween colors. I really love this card and I hope you do as well.
Spooky Halloween Easel Card
I wanted to make a card that does not involve using a Big Shot. Since I still don’t have a Big Shot (not getting it until this Christmas), I thought of making this card by just using a punch and vellum to create a “window”. It turned out really cute! This card is so unique that the person you give it to will absolutely be thrilled! I gave it to a friend and she was so pleased that she wanted me to film a video tutorial so she can make a couple for her son’s teachers, and use it to decorate her table. I found my LED tea light from the Dollar store. You can get two pieces for a dollar and this card will be a great gift and pretty inexpensive. You can make these for any occasion just by changing the image, the color of the card stock and the sentiment.

Blooms & Butterflies Color Challenge No. 15
I had so much fun making this card. This is my very first participation for the Blooms and Butterflies Color Challenge – and this is Color Challenge No. 15.
I am a new Stampin Up Independent Demonstrator and still trying to increase my collection of Stampin Up products – from card stock, to DSPs, punches and stamp sets. Since I didn’t have any Wild Wasabi card stock, I had to replace it with Gumball Green. I apologize if this is quite a disappointment to some of you. Please know that I live overseas 10 months out of the year, and it is not very easy for me to get the supplies delivered to me overseas. I either have to get it shipped here (which cost a fortune), or hoard my supplies every time I have the chance to go back home in Orlando. Anyway, I hope you like the card.
The materials I used are as follows:
Card Base:
Wisteria Wonder – 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
Elegant Eggplant – 4 1/8 x 5 1/4
Replaced the Wild Wasabi with Gumball Green – 4 x 5 1/8
Stamps Used:
Mixed Bunch – Stamped on Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder
Happy Day – Heat Embossed using Stampin’ Up!’s Silver Embossing Powder
Punches Used:
Punch Blossom
1 inch Circle Punch
Extra Large and Large Oval Punches to create the Bow (I cut the ovals in half and adhered it to the base)
Other Supplies Used:
Basic Pearl to accent the Bow
Stampin Dimensionals
Tombo Glue
Black Staz On
Versamark Ink
Trick or Treat Card
Frankenstein and Ghost TicTac Treat Holder
I had so much fun making these tictac treat holders. I used the decorative label punch and the owl builder punch.
