American Ink team make & takes cover Halloween, Christmas and more!

I always ask for volunteers to bring make & takes to our American Ink team meetings, and am never disappointed. We all love to stamp, and we got to play with some great stuff!

Cheryl brought this Concord Crush Batty for You card for us to make. It's simple, with great colors and textures, and adorable!

I brought this Vintage Wallpaper-embossed stocking with Cherry Cobbler and Confetti White card stocks, along with the stitched felt in the Holiday Mini. It uses the stamp set Dear Santa.

Sherry's make & take featured the Best of Everything stamp set.

Mary Ann's make & take used Four Frames and the Flower Garden embossing folder with Calypso Coral and Craft White ink sponged on.

Batty for You treats for Halloween

These skinny cello treat bags (1" x 8") are coming up in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog September 1. You'll want to buy lots because they're inexpensive and cute! I bought some Skittles today and picked out the orange and green ones for these treats. That made my kids happy because they got all of the other colors! lol

Aren't these cute? I used Batty for You stamps in Peach Parfait and Old Olive inks, along with Basic Black, along with 1" and 1-3/8" circle punches, and the scallop circle punch. The medallions are adhered to the cello bags with mini glue dots. (BTW, there's a little adhesive strip at the top of each skinny cello bag, so you pull off the plastic and stick it down to itself! Cool, eh?

Sweet Centers & Batty for You...

Frankie, my downline, came up with this Lovely Lilac Halloween card for a swap. It uses the Holiday Mini stamp set Sweet Centers, as well as Batty for You.
