Spooky Cat Halloween Treats

Today I'm sharing another project made with the Spooky Cat stamp set. This is great for Halloween because these treats are so quick and easy to make! As promised I'm using the Cat Punch that coordinates with this stamp set for today's project. I hope you like my Spooky Cat Halloween KitKat Treats! Check back again on Monday to see what I've been working on this weekend!

Halloween Cards

Can you believe it's almost Halloween? This year is just flying by! In the next few days I will make a few different projects to get ready for this fun fall holiday. Although these cards look stunning, they are super quick and easy to make and they only use the Spooky Cat stamp set and 4 colors of ink! And even though all 4 cards have a completely different look because of the images I stamped on the background, the basic design of each card is exactly the same! I really love the new Everyday Label Punch used on these cards. You can either use it on it's own or with another label punched in different or the same color to make a huge variety of labels and shapes to add dimension to your project. Don't you think it makes these cards look extra fancy? This stamp set actually coordinates with the Cat Punch, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see how I'm using that fun punch on my next Halloween project!

Painted Harvest Tea Bag Holder

I promised to show you a project with the sunflower stamp I used to make yesterday's cute little hedgehog. Isn't it awesome how versatile this stamp is? I am excited to make lots of flowers in an array of colors, so be prepared to see this stamp return in the future. But let's take a look at today's project. I decided to make a little tea bag holder for a friend who loves to drink tea. Did you notice I color coordinated the teabags with the sunflowers? I love how with a little bit of paper, some stamps and inks you can turn a few teabags into a sweet little gift! Are you curious to see the next project I have in store for you? Check back tomorrow to see my first Halloween project of the year!

Hedgehog Card

This cute little hedgehog is not what it seems. Can you believe it was made with a sunflower stamp? I love the delicate paper lace border alongside the hedgehog. The little hedgehog and the acorns were cut out by hand but luckily there's a punch for the leaves. If you'd like to see what the sunflower looks like, check out my site again tomorrow!

Magical Mermaid Cards

I loved making these beautiful mermaid cards. The mermaids look so real with their shimmering tails, courtesy of a little Wink of Stella! Water coloring the background was a lot of fun and cutting out the mermaid and seaweed for added dimension took no time but really adds a lot to the card. Wouldn't you just love to get this card in the mail? Check back tomorrow to see which animal is stealing the spotlight on my next card!
