I pulled out the Best of Halloween and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share with you today. I must admit, I’ve had the Gorgeous Grunge set for awhile but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to use it. I’ve seen some fabulous cards done with this set so I thought that it was time to take the plunge and give it a try. I’m afraid that I went a little overboard with the orange splatters, here it is…

I created a card with the Halloween Happiness stamp from Stampin’ Up! for Mojo Monday 308.
Best of Halloween Meets Witches’ Brew
I used the new Best of Halloween stamp set and Witches’ Brew DSP from Stampin’ Up! to create my card share for today. I love that little Trick or Treat sentiment and the witches hat! To see all of the “Best of” stamp sets in my online store, click here or on the Best of 25 logo on the right side of the screen.
My card design was inspired by the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 137.
Tag a Bag Gusseted Halloween Gift Bag
I saw a video from a presenter at Stampin’ Up!’s 2013 Convention where she demonstrated how to turn one of the flat Tag a Bag Gift Bags into a gusseted bag. It’s a really simple process so I thought I’d show you one that I made for Halloween. I’m also adding this to my Tutorials list so that you can find the instructions back quickly if you’re interested.
My bag design was inspired by the CAS(E) This Sketch #39 and The Paper Players Fall Theme Anything But a Card Challenge.
Halloween Bash Polaroid Card
2013 Holiday Catalog Share Update

I thought that a Polaroid look card would be perfect for the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday Challenge #129. I used the Halloween Bash stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create my card share today.
Halloween Happiness Sneak Peek Plus an Ordering Special!!
Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Demonstrator Convention is starting tomorrow and many of the Demonstrators are leaving today. Since I’m missing out on the convention (silly move across the country won out over my trip to Salt Lake City!!), rather than pouting about it I thought I’d offer you all a Wish I Were At Convention Ordering Special!! Check out the details at the bottom of my posting today.
I used the new Halloween Happiness stamp from the Stampin’ Up! 2013 Holiday Catalog for my card share today. I’ve been having all sorts-of fun playing with the fall stamps and papers! I also used a piece of the Modern Medley DSP for the background on this card. Don’t forget about the Buy 3 DSP Get 1 Free Promotion from Stampin’ Up! that is going on now through July 31. Click here or on my Promotion tab above to read more about it.
My card design was inspired by the Sketch Frenzy Friday SFF070513 and the CAS-ual Fridays CFC 109 Polka Dots Challenges.
