Halloween Stamping with the kids

I was in the mood for a good ol' Halloween card today. The kids are home for fall break so I decided that this would be a safe project for us to do together.



I followed the instructions on Split Coast Stampers resource page here.

Since I was stamping with the kids I decided to run the glossy card stock over the candle myself and then let them stamp the paper. It can be a little tricky to keep from smudging the paper with their fingers but they did pretty good. Notice that every card is different. I love that about kids. Why do the same design over and over?





Some fun close ups.

Supplies: Card Stock: Glossy, Marigold Morning (retired), Basic Gray, Whisper White Ink: Staz On Black Stamp Set: Carved and Candle lit (retired)

b*eden Gallery

Edited Post: This post now includes more of the jewelry I just sent to Connecticut. (If you look before Saturday morning check back again, there is more to come.)

Also if you haven't looked at the pictures on my sister Alyssa's blog check this post for the first batch I sent her.



This blog post is my gallery of jewelry that is available for purchase. The website is in progress, I will post more info on that later. I am hoping to have that up and running in one to two weeks. I will ship anywhere as long as the buyer is willing to pay the whole cost of shipping. (It makes a lot of sense for people to order together so they can split the shipping.)

All earrings will have sterling silver loops or copper depending on the color scheme. Sometimes special shaped hoops will be in an alternate metal but I will note it.

Custom design will include a $10 fee. I will try to re-create anything you've seen as long as I can obtain the style of beads you are wanting and it involves chain or wire. Custom charge does not apply when changing color of existing design.
