Trick or Treat

In my mind Summer is over and I've moved on to fall. The kids here have been in school for 3 weeks already. So, I have decided to get a head start on Halloween projects. Since it is my weekend to make a design team project, I decided this was the perfect time. I just got this adorable vampire Edwin stamp and I had to use him on something. I took my Cuttlebug

embossing folder of the haunted house and inked up the raised side of the folder with black ink and a brayer, then I put my white cardstock on top of that with 2 shims and both the B plates. I did not fold the folder over, I left it open if that makes any sense at all. Then I colored in the uninked spots with my copic markers. Edwin is colored with copics as well. To decorate the side of the card, I used the Martha Stewart drippy goo punch. This punch is awesome for Halloween projects and so much more. If you want one, go here ASAP. Cindy has already sold out of this punch once, she now only has 8 left from this order so jump on it! I also used one of the new Cuttlebug border folders for the diamond embossed strip. This was done with the black magic core'dinations paper with a green core to add to the spooky feel of the card. I finished it off with the trick or treat sentiment from the Scent my Cards Best Witches set available on stampingscrapping.com and trimmed the mat with the drippy goo punch also. All that's left is to make it smell as much like Halloween as it looks, so I added some black licorice scent my cards and it is ready to go!

The Epic Six

I got my Epic Six about a month ago when it was first released and I have to tell you - I LOVE IT! I was a bit skeptical when I first took it out of the box, but no more - it's fabulous!!

I did a short video demo to show you how it works and the types of things it will cut. I also wanted to mention that if you have been thinking about purchasing this tool, NOW IS THE TIME! Stamping Scrapping has them on sale for $59.99 and if you order before August 31st you will get a rebate for a FREE 6" die from Quickutz! Just a note - she only has 7 of these in stock right now!!

She also sells the Cork and Magnet material that I used in the video as well as the Flying Beauties Dies (this is the set that the butterfly is from).

So without further ado, here is the video...
