Date Night and Spider Tags!

Ok, so today my husband and I are finally going out on date night since we moved here at the beginning of Aug.  It seems like there is always something going on in this house or with the kids or with his work schedule.  So we are finally going out to enjoy a nice relaxing evening, with no screaming kids and no eating at 100 mph because the kids are going to meltdown.  I can't wait!  Sushi!

Moving on to todays project, which was so much fun to make! 

I love these spider tags!!!  I used a large circle punch for the base, scallop punch, circle punch for the body and for the legs I used corner punches.  I then added googly eyes and an small orange circle punch  for the nose (used my crop a dile for that one).  I punched a hole on top and added ribbon.  Now how easy was that?  Now you can add it to gift bags or treat bags and you are all set for trick or treating!

Happy Crafting!

Boo Door Banner

Hello Crafters,

I hope you all have been having a fabulous crafting time. Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. We are all settled into our new house and I have been working on some great projects in preparation for my first craft fair.

Since tomorrow will be the 1st of October I thought why not start the month with a new Halloween Banner for the door.

This was my first time using the Stampin' Up! Pennant Die for the Big Shot and I thought it came out Awesome! So instead of a traditional wreath why not change it up a little and try a banner for the door decor. What do you think?

Tip: I used clear plastic hooks by 3M (the kind that comes with a couple of adhesives). These are great for banners, wreaths and other things. I even use them as hooks to tie back my curtains on. The great thing about them... they are clear so you really can't see them and you don't have to hammer in nails.

Happy Crafting!

Finally Something New!

Ok, Ok, so I know it has been a while since I posted something new. Well, I have been working on a couple of things including getting ready for a workshop I will be doing this weekend but I did manage to finish a couple of things for the blog. So here you go.



First up is this cutie patootie bookmark. I really really like how this turned out. I love this die (Item # 114520 Flower, Daisies #2). I used Pretty in Pink Cardstock, 4 Inch Paper Clip and I made my own button out of fabric and button covers. How cool is that!

Next up is this fun Halloween Card. I used the Top Note Die #113463, Scallop Oval Punch (#114889) and Large Oval Punch (#107305), Horizontal Slot (#105089), along with a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set (#115370).
