The Holiday Catalog is coming


Do you create for the holidays?  Cards, Packaging. Tags, Gifts?  

I love creating treats for Halloween, Table favors for Thanksgiving and Cards, packaging, tags and gifts for Christmas!  SO this is my favorite time of the year!

The 2018 Holiday catalog goes live on Sept 5th, but I have copies I love to share so you can create your shopping list now.  If you do not have a demonstrator that you work with I'd love to see that you receive a free catalog.  I'm here to help you create and I'll be posting some exclusive on- line classes for Sept, Oct and Nov as well as some in-person socials to create with me.  
I hope you will add a little handmade to your Holiday Season!




Blessings,
Missy

Did you know that the DSP has 2 sheets that feature black and Pumpkin Pie Cats that the Cat punch punches out beautifully.
Here's a close up of that-

Remarkable Blog Tour- Halloween


Welcome Back to our Halloween Edition of the RemARKable Blog Tour!
It's the perfect time of year to start creating Halloween treats and I wanted something a little different for my coworkers at the office this year.  I love the Jar of Haunts stamp set # 142247 from the Holiday catalog and this set was my go to for this project.  


These Clear Tiny Treat Boxes #141699 are the perfect size to fill with Hershey kisses!

Add some Halloween Night DSP # 142022 (I cut a 1 inch strip and used my Fringe Scissors # 133325 to add some frill.  Stamped the greeting with Pumpkin Pie ink #126945, cut it out with the Lots of Labels Framelits #138281 and tied it to the package with the Halloween Night Bakers Twine #142027)

Love this sweet smiling face of this Pumpkin - Some more of the Halloween night DSP and Bakers Twine are used around the box.  The pumpkin is stamped on Whisper White cardstock and colored in with Pumpkin pie and Old olive markers.  And the smile is stamped with Basic Black ink and poped on with a dimensional.  

Hoping my coworkers will love these little treats!

Blessings, Missy

Haunt Ya Later

I had a great weekend with my children.  Feeling BLESSED that they were all able to come home on Sunday for a family meal and that my middle son Tim was here for the weekend.  Always hard to say goodbye when he has to go back.

On to some inspiration for today - Looking for some really cute Halloween stamps? Check out the images from the Haunt Ya Later Stamp Set-



Don't you love these images?  Want to see some cards made with these stamps?

Here are two cards from the swap -



These would make great invites for a Halloween party or just to send to a friend to brighten their day!

I'll be using this stamp set for an upcoming class where we will be creating treat packaging!

The class is on October 15th - check out my events for all the info!

Thanks for stopping by - you can shop 24/7 on my website - Sept Hostess code is F9RBBRCV

Halloween Swap Cards

While all four cards use different stamp sets - there is an element on each card that you will want to have - it's the Spider Web Doilies!



Aren't they gorgeous!   These are a must have embellishment for Halloween creating!


More Halloween samples tomorrow!

Halloween is Coming!

It's been a very busy couple of weeks!  Lots going on in the studio and in my life.  I recently hosted a SWAP with other demonstrators.  We each picked a stamp set out of the new Holiday Mini and created a card using that set.  We then created 10 cards - they mailed their cards to me and I swapped them with everyone and they received 10 different samples back.  Great way to be inspired!

I'll be sharing them with you over the next several weeks, so keep stopping back I'll be posting more regularly and would love your comments!

We'll start with some Halloween cards - What do you create for Halloween?




Three samples all using the Witches Night Stamp Set!  I created the top two cards!  
Here's what the stamp set looks like-

This set is # 139708  and includes 5 stamps.  It also coordinates with this great kit-

Check out my events on for an upcoming class  on Oct.8th to create this Witching Decor Project.



Feel free to shop from my webpage and use Hostess Code F9RBBRCV  - at the end of the month I will pick mail gifts to everyone who uses the code!  

Please contact me with any questions.

Blessings,  Missy
