SUper Friends October Halloween Treats and Card Swap

Hi again!  Today I am back with some more fabulous projects created by my SUper Friends demonstrator group.  These projects are from our October swap, which had a fall and Halloween card or treat theme! 

First up, the cards! 

Connie M.'s splendid autumn card is made with the Rooted in Nature Bundle:


For her beautiful autumn card, Nancy did a faux baby wipe technique with the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set:


Agnes created this adorably spooky Halloween card, using elements from the September Frights and Delights Paper Pumpkin kit (refills still available here at the time I'm writing this post):


And now, on to the treats!!!  

To create her sweet pumpkin jar treat holder, Kallien used the Everyday Jars Framelits dies, leaves from the Stitched Seasons Framelits, and embossed an image from the Stitched Labels Framelits dies:




Judy-Ann dressed up a gable box in fantastically spooktacular style, with lots of sponging, a fence and tree from the Farmhouse Framelits, and bats and stamping from the Spooky Sweets Bundle:




Jana also used the Spooky Sweets Bundle, along with the Takeout Thinlits Dies, and Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon for her delightful treat box:



That beautiful Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon made another appearance on Connie S.'s fabulously folded treat box, along with a pretty Black Foil cat (love those green rhinestone eyes!):



Margery created a treat box with the Takeout Thinlits Dies, decorated with fun elements from the Warm Hearted Stamp Set, Cauldron Bubble Bundle, Seasonal Tags Framelits, and Seasonal Chums Stamp Set:





I created a combination luminary and treat box using the Window Box Thinlits and Still Night Bundle:





I found some fun color-changing battery operated tealights to use in these as well.  Have a video of the lights changing through the owl window that I will try to share here soon.

Hope you enjoyed these projects!

Thanks for visiting!

SUper Friends September Clean and Simple Cards Swap

Hello!!!  I can't believe it has already been more than a month since my last post -- October just flew by!  I have lots of projects to share with you, but wanted to start with some amazing creations from my talented SUper Friends!  These are from a clean and simple card swap we did way back at our September gathering!  

Kallien created her elegant card with the Floral Phrases Stamp Set:



Connie M's beautiful card combines images from the Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots stamp sets with a wonderful fall color combo:



Nancy added a perfect bit of subtle sparkle and texture to her sweet thank you card, using the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, coordinating Love What You Do stamp set, Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder


Margery's fun tropical card features a fabulous tri-toned paper-piecing technique with the Tropical Chic Bundle:


Jane created her stunning card with the Detailed Floral Thinlits, a greeting from the Floral Phrases Stamp Set, and some perfectly placed pearl accents:


Jana created her fun and festive card with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set, expertly colored with Stampin' Blends, on a square cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and framed with a sparkly piece of Glimmer Paper, cut with a scallop edged square from the Layering Squares Framelits Dies:


 Judy-Ann's terrific treat of a Halloween card is made with a witch and banner from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper, greeting from the Spooky Sweets stamp set, and stitched oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies:


 Agnes created some gorgeous cards using the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit Blissful Blooms:



For my creation, I combined images from the So Santa stamp set, colored with Stampin' Blends, with the Buffalo Check Background stamp, a square cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and some Mixed Satin Ribbon:


Hope you enjoyed these creations, and they inspire you to create some fabulous clean and simple cards of your own!
