All dots for Scaredy Cat card

I brought this Scaredy Cat card as a make & take to a Halloween event last weekend. I like the simplicity of the card. It uses a couple pieces of Frightful Sight dsp, along with a couple of circle punches, a sentiment from Wicked Cool, black ink and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, and a Brights glimmer brad.

All kinds of Halloween fun at American Ink team event

My American Ink monthly team get-togethers are fun - we swap, we stamp make & takes, and enjoy good food and each other's company. Even our team members who live out of state have the opportunity to participate in our swaps!

I know I posted most of the make & takes yesterday, but today I'm featuring Frankie's. She created this adorable "eek-a-boo" card with Spooky Bingo Bits and Teeny Tiny Wishes. This card also features some Frightful Sight dsp and the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.

Now onto the swaps: (These are just the Halloween ones!)

Scaredy Cat Spectacular a spooky success

I've been so busy over the past few days I haven't even thought about posting to my blog. So here's a little catch-up attempt, starting with a five-project class I did on Sunday with the Scaredy Cat stamp set. I had a card contest (fabulous cards!) with prizes, lots of door prizes, lunch, and cupcakes with bones. It was a fun day!

This tent-top card uses only a Basic Black ink pad, a couple of punches, some lush Cherry Cobbler ribbon (new in the Holiday Mini) and Frightful Sight dsp.

I CASE'd this idea from fellow demonstrator Julie Arvin, adding the popped-up ghost.

I used the same sketch I used for a different Halloween card for this one. After running the card front through the Big Shot in the Spider Web embossing folder, I used markers to single out the ghost and pumpkin from word stamps, punched them out with the 3/4" circle punch and layered them on 1" circles. The "BOO!" is from Spooky Bingo Bits.

This treat basket uses two milk carton diecuts and more Frightful Sight dsp. We used the Simply Scored tool for the accordian rosette.

Smarties are the perfect candy for these skinny cello bags. The square scallop came from the Two Scallop Squares die for the Big Shot, and there's one on each side of the cello bag, sandwiching it in.
