It's All About the Candy! ~ Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration

Happy Friday to all my stamping friends!  Halloween is coming up quickly and I always like to have fun little treat bags or boxes for my boys and a few other special kiddos in my life.  I'm always looking for new ways to package these treats up and not use the same 'ol thing every year!  The INKspiring crew over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration has some fun ideas to help you package up sweet treats for your sweets!

I've seen a lot of cute fry boxes lately, so I decided I would try to make one. I'm still fine tuning some of the measurements, but this one didn't turn out too bad!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Witches Brew DSP

Ink ~ Pumpkin Pie, StazOn, Daffodil Delight

Stamp Sets ~ Halloween Hello, Oh Goodie!

Other Supplies ~ 1" Circle Punch, Postage Stamp Punch, Label Bracket Punch, Pumpkin Pie Taffeta, Linen Thread

 

Other than fussy cutting out the actual box, this went together really fast and makes for a cute treat box!  I plan on getting a few more of these put together so they'll be all ready for my Halloween kiddos!

 

Happy Stamping!

Bite Me!

Ok, I'll admit it...I wasn't thrilled with this sentiment when I first saw this stamp set, but the more I see it used, the more it grows on me.  Not sure that I would actually say "Bite Me" to someone, but for a Halloween card with a creepy, crawly spider, it kind of fits :-)

I gathered my inspiration from Muse and Fab Friday for my card...

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink ~ Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Bite Me Photopolymer

Other Supplies ~ Brights Candy Dots

 

See...all stamped together, this sentiment isn't so bad after all! 

 

Happy Stamping!

Running on Faith

Happy Sunday stampin' friends!  I'm a little late getting a post up today, but for good reason!  I was a busy running a half marathon with my hubby this morning...my 5th, his 1st!  I was really hoping to complete the race in 2 hours, but came in a little slower...2:05:58, which is a new PR for me, so I'm still totally happy with my time.  And I'm even more happy with the fact that I came in just 6 minutes behind my hubby...WOOT! 

I don't know about the rest of you runners out there, but I am always a nervous wreck the day before and day of a race, so I did all that I could yesterday and this morning to keep my mind off of the race.  Some of those things included carving a new stamp with my Undefined Stamp Carving Kit.  I'm no artist when it comes to drawing, but I've been wanting to carve a running shoe for a while, so I gave it my best shot!  Not great by any means, but still fun!  I had carved my signature running girl shortly after Convention, so I added her to the card as well.  I don't like how the card itself turned out and will re-stamp it later.  This is what I worked on this morning before the race to help calm my nerves.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Night of Navy Core'dinations

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Gorgeous Grunge, Undefined Stamp Carving

Other Supplies ~ White Embossing Powder

 

I also created an MDS page this afternoon, post-race, as I let my tired legs recover :)

The sketch came from the Simply My Digital Studio Facebook weekly challenge...I love how Kimberly and Heather help keep me moving forward with my MDS creations! 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to stop by again!

 

Happy Stamping and Happy Running!
