Happy Haunting!

It's hard to believe it's August and we're already thinking about Halloween and Fall at the boutique!  Laurie is using her magic to make our windows look so pretty and by this weekend we should have a whole new look for Autumn!  Hooray!  We have our first halloween card class on Wed.  Aug. 13th from 10am-12pm and Saturday, August 30th from 6pm-8pm.  There's still some room in the classes if you're interested.  The cost is $35.00.  Here's some of the cards we'll be making.

This first card uses one of my FAV Halloween stamps, it's a cat on a fence by Savvy stamps.  I stamped it first in versamark and then embossed it in black sparkling powder.  So sleek!  The spider, bats, ribbon, sentiment are all by A Muse.

For this next card I used my favorite halloween colors and just stamped the paper mache looking cat on six circles.  For most of my cards made in class, I like to use Stardream papers.  I love the heavy cardstocks and the shimmer.  All stamps and supplies by A Muse.

This next card I used Dave Brethauers concept of stamping his tree in Brilliance gold onto Black stardream paper.  It dries really nice!  Dave made his line of Holiday cards using all stardream papers and stamped his images in brilliance colors and boy what a big difference it makes and again.. it dries so nice!  I then stamped a circle in staz-on cotton white and stamped spiders by A Muse in orange and black.

This next card is used circles and just randomly stamped inside them.  All images by A Muse.

This last card uses new paper by Cosmo cricket.  Doesn't it remind you of the monster energy drinks with the black and green dots?  I love this paper!!!  It's also cardstock weight which is even better!   I stamped a bare tree and then masked off some of the halloween line and stamped it on the tree to make little ornaments.  All images by A Muse.  I think this is my favorite card because of the colors.  I will post the last card later this week plus more asian cards.

By the way, if you're an A Muse lover like myself.  Be sure to visit the store in about 10-14 days.  We'll be getting the brand new release of the A Muse art stamps Halloween and fall---

30-plus stamps!!  how exciting!

Obviously Fate is against me and my stamping happiness....I cannot believe that I won't be able to attend either class (work - ick and a prior commitment muck up both dates)...and OMG Stehanie - these cards are soooooo cool. Hmmmmm - obviously I'll need some counseling to get through this...AND I'll need to keep my calendar COMPLETELY clear for September's classes. Woe is me - off to have a Pity Party...sigh.....
