HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM JP AND LUIGI

HAPPY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN ALL!  
And we are hoping all have survived SANDY!  
Luigi and JP are hoping to SPOOK our guests!
In case you can't tell, Luigi is YODA from STAR WARS.
I sent my mother this photo and she thought Luigi was
the flying nun.
So cute!
 (PS.  see bottom of post for a photo in color so you can see JP's monster hands!)

WINTER MEMORIES - UPCOMING REMARKABLE BLOG TOUR

Just want to let you know that the REMARKABLE STAMPERS have an upcoming BLOG TOUR 2 WEEKS from today featuring the stamp set WINTER MEMORIES.  You will see so many cool creations with this stamp set.  Be sure to subscribe to my blog (at right)  by getting regular updates, so you won't miss the tour or any other exciting news from SU!  

This is a card I have created with the set.  If you don't have this set PURCHASE it TOMORROW - OCTOBER 29th at 15% OFF!  We have the BIG SU! STAMP SALE tomorrow!

I stamped the skates and water colored them with my aquapainter and watercolor crayons.  I added a few extra touches to the image like some shimmer.  The base card stock is baja breeze and the coordinating darker blue is Midnight Muse - one of our IN COLORS.  I also added some IRIDESCENT ink to the background with my NEW SU!  LUMINESCENCE
 ink pad!  Just swipe it over the raised embossing on the card stock.  Look carefully, you will see gorgeous shimmer!   The FOR YOU is from the MIXED MEDLEY stamp set!

 
 WINTER MEMORIES SET

Nostalgic images evoke winter days of years gone by. For a personal touch, try water coloring these images using an Aqua Painter and Classic Stampin' Pads. Ink fine details using Stampin' Write Markers.

Mixed Medley stamp set:

REMEMBER that's 2 weeks from today - NOVEMBER 11th!

FRENCH FOLIAGE CARD

I love this stamp set and I love it enhanced with Rich Razzleberry card stock.  This is a card I made for my dear friend Mary Jo whose father has been hospitalized quite a bit over the last several months.  This stamp set is really awesome for Fall and you can use the splatters and the french script for any time of the year.

The Autumn is a retired stamp from the SEASONS set.  I'm so glad I purchased this set when I did.  If you see a stamp set in any catalog that you really love, don't wait on it.  I receive more regrets from customers who didn't buy this stamp set than any other SU! set.

VIDEO FOR TEA BAG HOLDER I SHOWED THE OTHER DAY

I showed you a CHRISTMAS tea bag holder I made the other day using BE OF GOOD CHEER designer paper by SU!  I wanted to give credit Brenda Keenan whose video I watched.  Here's the you tube video for anyone that wants to check it out. 

BRENDA KEENAN's YOU TUBE VIDEO.

HOLIDAY TREAT - PETITE POCKET DIE AND SNOW FESTIVAL TAG

Here's another treat holder that we received at the REMARKABLE HOT RETREAT.  It was made with the petite pocket die for the BIG SHOT for SU!.  Then add one of the SU! tags and a punch with ribbon and you have an adorable treat holder.  These were also made by Janet Wakeland and her RETREAT angels - Missy Bollinger, Deb Lehigh and Linda Nagle.  I think these are so adorable and really cute to make.

Notice the pin and the button brad embellishment?  They are from SU! and a really cute touch. They are perfect for this project.  I think the possibilities for treats are endless.  You could put pencils in there, candy straws, lollipops,and candy canes.  The other embellishment is a stamped petite tag (this is an exclusive SU! punch).  The ribbon is satin seam binding in pool party - my favorite color.

SNOW FESTIVAL TAGS:  
This is a great choice for all of your crafting needs or just add them to gifts.

Quick and easy tags! For gifts or card accents. 25 double-sided tags; 5 ea. of 5 double-sided designs. 4-1/2" x 3-1/8". Acid-free. Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Soft Suede, Whisper White.

The PETITE POCKET DIE is a fabulous addition to your crafting collection.

Use this adorable pocket to enclose small, thoughtful gifts and delightful surprises! The innovative designs in these longer Bigz dies give you new and interesting creative options. Use with Extended Premium Crease Pads. The Petite Pocket Bigz XL Die works best using only one layer at a time. Measures 6" x 13-3/4".

GIFT FROM REMARKABLE RETREAT

This adorable treat holder was a little table gift at the most recent REMARKABLE RETREAT.  It was made from a card board toilet roll that was covered with BE OF GOOD CHEER designer paper I showed last night for the treat holder.  This little treat is so adorable and easy to CASE.  It was originally shown on the CHICnSCRATCH blog by Angie Juda.  But I honestly don't remember the exact date.  These were made by Janet's Angel helpers - Deb Lehigh, Missy Bollinger and Linda Nagle.  They are really talented. They must have made about 100 of these and put little candies inside for us.  We found these at our place settings when we arrived for the crafting weekend.
I like the use of the designer paper on the outside as well as the inside of the holder.  The ideas for the stamped embellishment on the outside are endless.

CHRISTMAS TEA BAG HOLDER

I saw this adorable TREAT HOLDER on another demonstrators blog some time ago with video and thought it was really cute.  In fact, I think I've shown this idea before.  The crafters at my holiday card class made one just like this for tea bags (or ghirardelli chocolates).  I also showed the ladies how you can make even a larger one to hold cards or gifts.  We used the SU! designer paper BE OF GOOD CHEER in size 6 by 6 and did a few folds to get this cool little treat holder.

 Here is the entire set of papers from BE OF GOOD CHEER.

12 sheets: 2 ea. of 6 double-sided designs. 12" x 12". Acid- and lignin- free. Coordinates with the Be of Good Cheer Suite. Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Very Vanilla.

We also used the NEW SU! HOSTESS STAMP - MIXED MEDLEY set for the snowflake and sentiment and punched them out with circles and the new smaller scallop circle punch - definitely a MUST HAVE!

This versatile, ten-piece set has it all! Punch out the stamped images using the 3/4" Circle Punch and the 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch. Some major holidays are covered here in this set!

Here's another view of the treat holder:

We punched a hole in the top of the treat holder and added real red satin taffeta ribbon from SU!  A very nice addition to this.

Here's a side view of the project - you can put one treat on each side.

And here's a view without the treat.  I love SU! double sided designer paper.  You can make cool projects like this which showcase both sides.  In projects where only one side shows, you can choose the side you like.

Now that I know that Ghirardelli chocolates fit nicely inside, I think I'll be making several of these for my holiday table and also for my son's teachers at school.  I even think this would be a great treat for my coworkers.
