I'm back - With a Frankenstein Card and a Halloween Recap

I'm back after a much too long break from blogging.  Between computer problems and life, blogging took a back seat.  However, I've been crafting a ton and have a lot to share.  I'm going to start with these super cute Frankenstein cards I made for Halloween.  I used the Circle Card Thinlits Die from Stampin' Up!

I've seen several versions online and combined them to make mine.  I used the 'BOO' stamp that came in the September Paper Pumpkin and the 'happy halloween' from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  

 

Here are my kiddos all dressed up and ready to trick-or-treat.  Aren't they adorable?   

Here's what they wore last year for Halloween.  

And below is an overview of some of the things that were made for my daughter's 3rd grade class party.  Lots of fun stuff! 

Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!  Come back for much more paper crafting goodies!

Labels Card Thinlits Christmas Card Swap

 

Here is my swap for the annual SUFriendsForever Christmas Card Swap.  I made close to 20 of these babies and they were super quick (considering how complicated they look) using the new Label Card Thinlit Die from Stampin' Up!.   

Below:  This is what the card looks like partially open.  

I used a 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" piece of cardstock and only put part of it beneath the thinlit.  I followed the tutorial for the extended flip card found here. 

Here's is the card fully opened.  I left some space on the far right panel for writing.  

 

I used one of my favorite color combinations - Pool Party and  Island Indigo.  I also used a stamp set from the Holiday Catalog that I won at Convention this year - Christmas Messages.  The snowflakes and 'Merry' came from a stamp set that was in last year's holiday catalog and is still available - Snowflake Soiree. 

Cardstock: Pool Party, Whisper White
