Stampin' with Kristin

Spooky Creepy Crawly

I created this card for a workshop last month.  It was inspired by one of the samples on page 28 in the Holiday Catalog.  I changed it up and made it a Halloween theme.  It was quite popular!

Here are the supplies I used to make this card:
- Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set (w 126690 - c 126692)
- Framelits Dies (127822)   
    (both of the two products can be bundled together - see page 29 of the Holiday Catalog)
- Googly Ghouls Stamp Set (w 128060 - c 128063)
- Googlies (127539)
- Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (126906)
- Border Banter Stamp Set (w 128927 - c 128930)
- Jet Black Stazon Ink
- Basic Gray Classic Ink
- Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla Card Stocks
- Basic Gray 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon

Still There?

That's a question a lot of you have been asking me recently.  Yes, I am.  Am I still stamping?  Well...to be honest, not a whole lot!  Life happens, right?  I love that Stampin' Up! is flexible enough that I can back off when life gets crazy.  While life is still crazy, I've been doing some more stamping.  I know that quite a few of you are anxious for some classes, are looking for inspirations, or just miss my online ramblings!  Well, they're on their way.

A lot has happen since I last posted - I've been to Disney with Stampin' Up! in April/May.  The trip was INCREDIBLE!  Thank you for helping me get there.  While in Disney, I qualified for a FREE vacation to Fiji next May!  I went to the annual Stampin' Up! convention in Salt Lake City back in July.  And those are just some of the big Stampin' Up! events!

This coming week is all about YOU!  I'm celebrating you with a WEEK of blog candy and a fun giveaway at the end!  So check back each day to enter my daily giveaway!  There are some fun goodies!

Today's card was inspired by my favorite main stage project at convention.  Shelli made a version of this card.  Click here to view hers.  I'm not a huge fan of the Friendship Preserves stamp set.  I like one or two of the images.  But, I LOVE the Window Frames Framelits and Festive Paper-Piercing Pack that coordinate perfectly!  I love how Shelli used the larger frames to make a tri-fold card!  I used the Orchard Harvest DSP as my color inspiration for the card.  But, I like both versions.
