Happy Halloween!!!

 Today I am going to take a break from the Convention cards to "treat" you to a Halloween project.  Have you made these cute little candy bar holders for Halloween?  We made them at a recent workshop - they were such a hit!  One recommendation - don't buy BIG candy bars! 

Here is the inside of the coffin with the vampire.  I didn't have a candy bar before I took this picture but you just put it inside of his cape, wrap the cape around it and secure the belly band in back.  This project was made easy by cutting with my new Brother Scan 'N Cut which I love!

Stampin' Up! Convention Cards, Group 3 - Card 1

Here is the first card from group 3.  I made these cards up just after we were able to order the Blendabilities.  I had seen several cards made using the Blendabilities and this stamp but always on Whisper White cardstock and I wanted to see how it would look on another color of card stock.  I thought it was pretty cool to be able to color it on Pink Pirouette and use the color lifter to bring out the pink hue.

Stampin' Up! Convention Cards - Wow card...

Here is the final card for this group - the "wow" card.  It may not be a card that you really say "wow" to but it is definitely stepped up from the previous two.  I really enjoyed challenging myself to make the same card three times - adding just a little bit of product to each card.
