I received some happy mail this week! You may recall the Spooky card I made for Julie's Ink Bugs swap. Below is a quick phone snap of the cards I received in return. Most Swaps used products from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Holiday mini catalog. I love swapping by mail.
Sweet Hauntings - WWYS Challenge #33
Another week and another fun stamp set to inspire with (WWYS) What Will You Stamp Design team. I found all of the projects from last weeks challenge super inspiring. Remember, every Monday, our Design team posts projects using a single featured stamp set. This week we were challenged to use the Sweet Hauntings stamp set. This set has a matching note tag punch!!!
I decided create treat packaging instead of a card this week. Candy bar wrappers are so fun and easy to create. You can make them as simple or as complex as you'd like. The simple route: cut designer paper to the size of the candy bar and wrap. Instantly better. Step it up a bit more with a few layers. Sometimes when I struggle with a layout for a certain project I will first stamp all of the elements, cut them out and just start arranging pieces like a puzzle until I get a look I like. I find that process super fun!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come back every Monday to see a new featured stamp set and how I use it. Head on over to the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog and check out the Design Team's amazing projects using the Sweet Hauntings stamp set. Another week of Happy stamping!

BOO! More Howl-o-ween Treat samples
Yep, I have more samples to share using the Howl-o-ween treats stamp set, framelits and a traditional orange and black color combination.
The spiderweb doilies are so versatile. Flip and use the back side for a totally different look. Tip with a black card: use a white gel pen or chalk pen to write a visable message on the inside.
Spooky Swaps
It's time for another Ink Bug swap using products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog. I normally make a Christmas projects for this swap but decided to go for Halloween instead. Here are two outtakes and the final project.
