2018 Calendars October and November

Here are two examples of my 2018 calendars.  Why is December missing?  It doesn't have any Stampin' Up! stamping on it - only some specialty cardstock as part of the layout.

For October, I had to use Spooky Cat!  This was a fantastic stamp set available until January, 2018.  It had so many elements in it - and I'm not that much of a Halloween fan.
 I used a technique that's all the rage right now - the Eclipse technique.  Stamp one or more images on a piece of cardstock.  Use the Large Letters dies to cut out your word, and then cut black letters (2 or 3) to give some definition to the letters.
 I've seen this Eclipse technique used with names, and sentiments.  It can be used for just about anything! 

November features a paper pumpkin shaker card.  It was Mom's idea to use for this calendar, so I ordered enough sets and cut them down to fit the calendar base.  It turned out better than we both expected!

Here you can see a close-up of the shaker with the sequins behind the leaves.

BOO!

HOW CUTE is this!  (If I do say so myself...) 
 I've been playing with ideas of the Eclipse technique and this one was just TOO cute!

A few things I've learned... use Washi Tape to position the dies as you cut the pieces.  Keep ALL the pieces!  You'll need the negative pieces as well.  Cut 3 or 4 of each letter in black to help the letters stand out. 
I had a lot of fun with the potions bottles!  They're small but super cute in all the colors.  So many possibilities for spooky potions!
The ink colors I used from left to right are:  Lemon Lime Twist, Lovely Lilac (ret.) Bermuda Bay (of course!) Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum.

Treat Cubes for the Studio

These little treat cubes are too adorable.  They are 2 inch square cubes to decorate any way you wish.  With Halloween coming, I wanted to use this stamp set and DSP.
 The cats punch directly from the paper! 
 Here you can see a set of them that are complete.  I tied them with burlap ribbon and added a bow to the top. 
There are 16 and are available at Celebrat!ons Stud!o in downtown Bartlesville, OK.

Spooky Cat Halloween Card

This could be the quickest, EASIEST card I've made in a long, LONG time!  It would be perfect for kids... and you could make a bunch to send to family and friends for Halloween.  YES, I know - Halloween isn't a card-making holiday.  I get it.  BUT I think this would be adorable when presented from a child or grandchild.  I also have a little one I would send this to, just for his momma to put in his Smash Book.

The supply list for this really adorable card is small - and I added both types of sponges depending on your preference.

Take a few hours with a little one and make a bunch of these cards!  World Card Making Day is coming!
