Saturday Sample

For today's Saturday Sample, I'm sharing another Halloween Treat using items from the 1800s London Halloween Suite.   I cannot take credit for this as it's another of the great swaps I received recently from Angela Sylvester.  It uses the new Candy Wrapper die for the Big Shot.  It's a Bigz L Die and makes cute or fancy favors come together in a snap. 

I love that you can take the Candy Wrapper and by using different colored card stock, ribbons, stamps, and more, totally change the look.  Here, Angela has done a great job of bringing a bit of Halloween fun with the stern owl staring down the person getting ready to eat candy!  Make your own, unique favors customized for your event and be the life of the party:)

Stamps:  Dark & Dreary
Ink:  Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad
Paper:  More Mustard, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake Card Stocks, Nite Owl Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Big Shot, Candy Wrapper Die, Hemp Twine, Designer Label and 1" Circle Punches, Stamping Sponges, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals

Dark & Dreary

For today's Saturday Sample, I'm sharing a great Halloween card made by Angela Sylvester.  It features items from the Holiday Mini Catalog in the 1800s London Halloween Suite.  Isn't it a great card?!  So many awesome things come together to convey an appropriately "dreary" Halloween message:)

Did you notice the Spider Web Textured Impressions Folder?  It's a beautiful design and will successfully segue from Halloween to gardening and nature projects to vintage projects and more.  Did you notice the black Waffle Paper surrounding the owl circle?  It's one of two colors, Early Espresso and Basic Black, of Waffle Paper, ready to make ruffled accents wherever you want them.

The stamp set is the very aptly named Dark & Dreary.  Lovely images!  Again, the owl, shown here, as well as the raven in the Dark & Dreary stamp set will move effortlessly from Halloween projects to projects for nature lovers.  One of my sons spent many years working with birds of prey, and I'm thinking that these bird stamps will make some great scrapbook pages.  How's that for double-duty stamps?!
