Spooky & Simple

These spooky & simple gift sets were so easy to put together.

Using the Big Shot & the Matchbox Bigz XL Die - I created these little Hershey's Nuggets holders (they each hold 4 nuggets by the way).  After the matchboxes were complete, I whipped up a simple matching card.

Spooky Bingo Bits really gives you the most bang for your buck.  I have used it on multiple Halloween projects so far this year - with many more ideas to come before October 31 rolls around.  See my other Spooky Bingo Bits projects by clicking here.

For $27.95 (clear mount), you get 24 different spooky stamp images.  That's only $1.16 per stamp!  Check out this card idea provided by Stampin' Up! using Spooky Bingo Bits.  So cute!!

Boo Bunch

Boos for two little boys & one little girl.  

These cute cards & pencil (crayons for the little one) gifties will be on their way to my nephews & niece for Halloween.  I'm sure I'll throw in a treat too & something for the grown up's sweet tooths.  

I'm THRILLED with the way these simple Kwik & Kool cards turned out!  The Owl Punch makes an adorable ghost, don't you think?  

Here's how I created my Boo Bunch:

• Simply punch out Mr. Owl
• Snip off his wee legs (ouch!)
• Add googly eyes if you choose - or a bow (used two hearts from the owl punch) & some bling to create a girly ghoul
• Turn Mr. Owl upside down & you have a ghost

Spooky Stocking

This spooky stocking idea came to me as I thought of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. 

My husband, son & I love this movie and enjoy watching Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin King, discover Christmas for the first time. 

This stocking is a Big Shot Bigz L Die.  The stocking measures 5-1/2" x 4-3/4".  The die measures 6" x 8-3/4".  Use it with paper, fabric, felt & more!  I have SO many ideas for this die - it makes the purchase very worthwhile to me. 

Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die, Item #124098, $32.95

The accessories inside the stocking are also a Die.  Candy cane piece measures 3" x 1-3/8". Entire die measures 4-3/4" x 5-1/2".

I thought it would be fun to add some Christmas goodies to the spider-web embossed stocking.  Fun!  Don't you think?

Happy Wishes

How about some happy wishes from Mr. Jack?

As soon as I saw the Jack of All Trades stamp set in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, I knew it must be mine.

This card was on it's way last week to a good home to someone in need of happy wishes.  I sure hope it brightened her day!  I know I had a great time making it and can't wait to use this stamp set again soon.

Sweet Pressed Peanut Butter

I'm VERY impressed & VERY excited about the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps.

I admit I'm not a baker, but I was instantly drawn to this new product.  As soon as it was advertised I could see so many possibilities.  

My first inclination was that I could use the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps to create fun gifts for my son's teachers & friends parents.  What a great way to present a hand-made gift ... cookies AND a card all packaged up in a nice gift box, maybe?  Stay tuned because that's where my mind is headed!!

I even thought that my son might like using these on play-doh (of course with a good washing in between baking OR I could purchase a second set just for him).  

My mind is working over-time to come up with more ideas!

Check out all of the coordinating Stampin' Up! products for the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps.  I ordered the Creatively Yours stamp set and the Kraft Boxes to pull my gifts together quickly.

Above you'll see I stamped my Jack-o-Lantern image into a peanut butter cookie batter. Below you'll see Jack stamped in a sugar cookie batter (slighty different sizes, but I think it gives the cookies more character).  Both sets of cookies were stamped directly AFTER coming out of the oven.  Keep in mind, the directions state to stamp BEFORE you bake.  But, I experimented a bit to see what technique gave me the best result.  I personally got a better impression by stamping after vs. before.  I used a Betty Crocker mix in a bag.  I did not make my cookies from scratch.  Ovens & I don't get along.  LOL!

Spooky Bingo Bits Tree

Check out this spooky tree picture frame!

I found it last year at my local hobby store and it sat for an entire year full of strangers photos. My husband was starting to get creeped out by the random people looking at him every day.  But, as soon as I bought Spooky Bingo Bits, I knew just what I wanted to do with it.

Here's what I did:

• I stamped the Spooky Bingo Bits images in VersaMark ink on different colored cardstock. Note:  I stamped two of each image - this frame is double sided.
• I then heat embossed each image with Black Stampin' Emboss powder to give each image a uniform look.  
• After I set my images with the heat tool, I stamped over the image with the Dot, Dot, Dot single stamp in the same ink color as the card stock for a monochromatic effect (all images except the moon - I wanted that one to pop).
• I punched the images out using my circle punches and simply trimmed the edges until they fit into the frames. 

You like?  I am so happy I finally made use of this spooky tree.  Spooky Bingo Bits has SO many uses - stay tuned to my blog (subscribe) to see more Halloween ideas.  My head is full of ideas to share!

Spooky Bingo Bits - Guest Artist

I'm so honored to be a guest artist on Mary Fish's, Stampin' Pretty blog today!  

These super-easy & super-cute greeting cards were created in My Digital Studio (MDS) using the digital stamp set Spooky Bingo Bits.  

• I simply applied the stamp image to the page in black.  
• Then, I chose different shaped punched images and changed the colors.  
• I then sent the punch images behind the stamp images to create the illusion of colored or watercolored (in the case of Frankie below) images.  

These cards were SO fun to create in MDS.  Using MDS allows me to change colors, stamp images or papers with a click of a button.  This means no paper to throw away.  All I have to do is choose a different image and I can continue creating.  

Want to see more?  Subscribe to my blog here  Tomorrow I will have a 3-D project to share with you using the clear-mount Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set.  

In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you think of my Spooky MDS cards or MDS in general. Leave a comment or ask a question below!
