Vellum Spider Web

I used plain vellum and my spider web embossing folder to make this background. Then pulled some black and gray ribbon, layered the sponged and stamped image and it's done! You can't see it in this photo but I applied dabs of the Fine-Tip glue to the eyes. This is the replacement for Crystal Effects; it dries clear and is not tacky. But you do have to allow for dry time. I do that step last and then set the card far away from my work space so I don't disturb it for at least 30 minutes.

Pinterest Inpsired

There are so many cute cards on Pinterest. This card uses that retired Googly Ghouls set again but wouldn't it be fun to use the Cookie Cutter Halloween set in the new Holiday catalog!
I wound up making four card like this because cut 4x5-1/4 inch rectangles, embossed them and then cut them into 1 inch strips.

Boo!

Here's another quick layout that was easy to make with an alphabet die and my Big Shot. The stamps come from a retired set I have but the new Holiday catalog has lots of sets that you could substitute:  Spooky Fun and Sweet Home for example.

Coaster Calendar - September, October, November and December

 September's bus comes from the retired Every Little Bit stamp set and fussy cut and adhered to a 1" punched circle.

October's Frankenstein comes from the retired Googly Ghouls stamp set, fussy cut and adorned with some googly eyes.

November's pie is from retired Every Little Bit stamp set, fussy cut and adhered to a punched 1-7/8" circle.

December's tree comes from the Festival of Trees stamp set and punched with the Tree Punch.
