Witch's Candy


Hello! It is my Design Team Day at Stamp Annie Thing.  I love to make projects for Halloween.  I found this candy dispenser cut file at SVG Cutting Files, Zombie Dispenser Box.  I just removed the "zombie" face and added the beautiful witch from Best Witches.  She is colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, along with the bats.  I stamped the bats on a piece of scrap paper before I added them to the tag.. to make them look like they are in a misty fog.

 Below is the candy dispenser with the drawer open... This file is ALL one piece so very easy to assemble.


Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Hay there, Winner?

Hi everyone! It is time to pick a winner for the stamp set provided by My Craft Spot. YAY! I used a random number generator and the lucky one is
 Creative M (Migdalia).
 The stamp set that she wanted to add to her collection is called "Tasty Treats!"  I am so excited for you and will be contacting you soon :)

Here is a sweet card I made with Down on the Farm stamps from My Craft Spot.

Isn't see a cutie-pie? The girl, hay, corn, and pumpkin are from SVG Cutting Files, Pumpkin Patch Cutie.  I picked up the card base there too, Fancy Card Base.  Her face is stamped from Peachy Keen Stamps, Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment. (For this face I stamped the eyes a little farther apart to fit the shape of the face)

Have a great day-

Happy Cat

Hello Everyone! I have a calico kitty cat shaped card to share today. I found the cat on Cricut's Meow Cartridge and welded two of the base shapes to make a card. My trick to make shaped cards to fit in A2 sized envelope is to make a rectangle template 5.5 by 4.25 inches. Then I size my shape to fit inside the template. I cut the cat in several colors and hand cut them to layer the "calico" markings.   As you can see, this sweet calico is really enjoying her Timeless Twine in Pumpkin Orange. I just love the character Peachy Keen's Face Stamps give to my die cuts. This face is from PK-110 Here Kitty Kitty Face Assortment.

The "yarn ball" is card-stock base that I ran through my Xyron Sticker maker. I was able to coil the twine on the paper and then added extra to tangle around the kitty's body. Be sure to check out the Peachy Keen and Timeless Twine Blogs this week for more inspiration.

EEK! Haunted House!

My Craft Spot Guest Designer Spot & Blog Candy HERE

Hi Everyone! I have a Halloween project to share with you today.  This is the Haunted House Box from SVG Cutting Files. Very fun project to embellish. The top windows are open through the lid so you can get a peek inside the box.  Many of the house layers are inked and embossed with folders. There is even a little mummy peeking out the top floor window.  Those eyes look a little stunned that you are looking at his house.. he he. I added some black fibers to the base to add some extra Haunted-ness to the front yard.


Stamps on this project are from Jaded Blossom's Too Cute to Spook.  The Haunted House Box will be in the SVG Cutting Files' Store THIS Friday!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week-

Candace's Girly Girl Hop HERE

Hello Everyone! I have some fun cards to share with you today. (and some blog candy too) I was so thrilled to be contacted by the owner of My Craft Spot to create a project with her stamps. Here is a couple of cards made with the Down On the Farm Stamp set:



For the piggy bank card, I found the cutest piggy bank on Cricut's Playtime cartridge. I used my Gpysy to weld the base piece together to form a card. Then I cut the shapes out on my Cricut Expression. When I glued the top layer down, I left a "pocket". This way you can slip some cash into that piggy!

The fish bowl slider card was cut on my Cameo with the Designer Edition Software. I found this file at SVG Cutting Files. I inked the edges of the bowl with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Broken China. I love the sparkly paper from Coredinations on this sweet fish. She is a perfect pet to cheer a person up,
"Just keep Swimming!"

My Craft Spot has donated a FREE stamp set to one of my followers!
Here is what you need to do:
1. Hop on over to My Craft Spot and pick out your favortie Stamp Set.
2. Come back here and leave a comment on this blog, telling me the name of your favorite stamp set.
How easy is that!

I will pick a random winner on Tuesday, September 24.

Thanks so much Kimberly! It was a pleasure to create with your unique stamps.

Witching You the Best!

Hi everyone! I just made a card for my sister with one of the Witches included in the Best Witches Stamp Set from Stamp Annie Thing. My Sis is a Halloween baby so I love to send her lots of cards in October.  I colored the image with my Copic markers.  I stamped the sentiment on a banner die from Jaded Blossom and folded the ends so I could add purple bows on the side.  This gorgeous card base is from SVG Cutting files and I punched a circle on the top mat to frame this image.



This stamp set has so many possibilities and I can't wait to play around with it some more.

See you tomorrow with Two Posts!

I Bite Hard

Jaded Blossom September Blog Hop, HERE

Good morning! Here is a shape card I made with one of the Halloween SVG Files from SVG Cutting Files, Chibi Mummy and Werewolf.  I gave him a warning tag...  because you never know with a Werewolf.


I took the base cut included in the SVG File and with my Silhouette Designer's Studio made a shadow. Then I welded the two shadow cuts together. The Sentiment Stamp is from Jaded Blossom, Vampires & Zombies, Oh My!
