Stuff from the Open House

I had such a hard time trying to decide what to post today!! I have so many things from my Open House I've been dying to share, but I didn't want to spoil it for anyone who was comming! Here's the first Make & Take card.

Halloween Card
This card was inspired by this card on splitcoast. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1028303?cat=14633 Making the goo across the middle was a touch from the Haloween projects shown at convention last year. You use a circle punch to take random punches at different depths and create a goo effect :)

Ingredients:

Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black, Whisper White, Ghostly Greetings DSP - paper; Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss - ink; Batty for You, All Holiday - stamp set; Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 16" punch, 1/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Kiwi Kiss striped ribbon - accessories;

Bella Card
This card was inspired by this monogram card on splitcoast - http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1020415?cat=12525 I really wanted to show another technique along with the gorgeous Bella Rose paper! And of course, we needed to use the scallop edge punch on Something!

Ingredients:

Chocolate Chip, Bella Rose DSP, Whisper White, Brushed Gold - paper; Chocolate Chip, VersaMark - ink; Taffy Alphabet, Frames with a Flourish, Define Your Life - stamp sets; gold embossing powder, scallop edge punch - accessories;

And finally, from all the samples I plowed my way though in the last month, this is my most favorite! I saw the banana candies in a baggie, here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/978285?cat=14262 and loved the idea! Here's my take on it :)

Ingredients:

Yo-yo Yellow, So Saffron, Bella Rose DSP, Whisper White, Real Red, Kraft - paper; Chocolate Chip, VersaMark - ink; Sock Monkey - stamp set; white embossing powder, corner rounder, cellophane bag, banana candies - accessories;

The sock monkey is paper pieced.

Hey, I like the sock monkey with the runt bananas -- that's kind of neat!
