New Release Day Three!

Hello there and welcome to our third and final day of our new release hop!

 This week we released a great group of new goodies for Halloween AND MORE!

Our Bats & Broomsticks Stamp Set features a flying witch and bat stamps both done with this fun and sketchy texture. We've also done a selection of sentiment stamps that step aside from traditional Halloween greetings which adds lots of interest to your stamp collection! I think my favorite is "Just a bit wicked".

Our Bats & Broomsticks Die Set is a set of 2 dies wired together so that both images can be cut at the same time or broken apart for individual use. The stamps of course line up perfectly with our dies and to help with absolute perfect placement we've added registration marks to these dies - a built in alignment tool! These dies make terrific image silhouettes by themselves and are even better when stamped with their coordinating textured stamps.

Our new Starry Sky Die is going to blow your mind! I'm not even kidding! It cuts 18 stars in varying sizes as though they've been sprinkled across the sky and when actually cut on your card front actually look even more amazing! This die is a 5.5 inch strip so it's designed to line up perfectly with your A2 card base on the long side BUT and there are a million different ways to use this die too. For instance, you can cut a perfect strip of stars on the short or 4.25 inch side of an A2 card base as well because of this dies perfect design! It can also be used multiple times across your page for a card front full of beautiful stars! This is a MUST HAVE in your collection!

Another MUST HAVE for your collection are our new Stitched Stars Dies!! This is a set of four individual stitched stars which come mounted on a magnetic sheet for easy storage. Each die cuts a perfect star AND leaves a stitching around the negative cuts - just like our popular Stitched Circles Dies! The largest die in the set is 3 inches and the smallest is 1.125 - each are just the perfect size for all your cards and tags! SWOON! These are fantastic!

I would like to get right into sharing my projects for today and then I have a very special treat for you.....

For my first card, I'm using Our Bats & Broomsticks Dies and Stamps as well as our Stitched Clouds from our Rainbows & Clouds Die Set as well as our Stitched Circles Dies. I've used a combo of colored card stock and vellum for the clouds and moon in the sky.

Here I've made a Christmas Gift Tag using our Folding Tag Die - Original, Christmas Tree from our Holly Jolly Dies Set, Holly Jolly Stamp Set and Stitched Stars Dies. I love how this turned out.

So - I'm not sure how I feel about the above card. It looks great in person and terrible in this photo. Don't you hate it when that happens? I wanted to show you how fun a series of Stitched Stars could be cut in a row and used a sentiment from Snarky Sentiments which I love!

My next project is only partially finished BUT finished enough to share. I thought I would decorate this treat box as a party favor and I made a place card to go with it. Picture the entire party ensemble....in your mind, LOL!

I got these mini treat boxes from Oriental Trading which I easily embellished with a witch and a stamp from previously released Carving Pumpkins Set from our Sugar Kissed Cottage Line. One the right, the place card holder is made on a scrap of green paper and scrap stars from a previous project. Super easy and really cute!

For my final project, I made this Halloween Treat Holder. I used a brown paper lunch bag. Cut the bottom of the lunch sak off with pinking shears and trim the top with them as well. Fold almost in half as sew down the shorter panel as shown here and it make a treat bag with two pockets. In the front I added a lolli and in the larger I added a note.

I changed it up here a bit by using previous released Best Witches from our Sugar Kissed Cottage line which I love oh so very much!!

Now............. I have something very special to share with you!!! Fabulous, amazing, talented and all around super awesome Guest Designer and my pal, Jen Rzasa has made a terrific video for everyone in which she demonstrates making this card...
