I love that white round doily that I cut using the basic shapes cartridge for the Eclips machine. It's so handy to be able to cut shapes with the machine and not have to dig into my pile of dies.
I have this new line that I am selling now and I've been playing with some of the products. I'll post it here soon. Wait till you see what I am talking about.
I cut the clouds with my Eclips machine using the Baby Milestones cartridge. The border of houses is a Tim Holtz edge die.
I notice lately that I have to really squint my eyes to see where I'm coloring and some of it is out of the line. Haha! Guess it's time for a visit to the eye doctor.
I used the french pastry doily die from Cheery Lynn Designs and I cut it out in silver glitter paper and cream cardstock.
Flowers and leaves are from the Basic Grey sizzlit set. 
I stamped Dandelion Designs panda bear and placed him over the door. When you open the door, you will see the giftcard. I tied a ribbon around the house to hold the door shut.
Well, this is the first year that I will actually cook a turkey. Wish me luck! I think I watched enough You Tube videos that I should be able to make it right. Lol!
Here is what the inside looks like when you "flip it" (the card).
Stamps are all Hero Arts - Snowman Christmas and Joy to All clear set.
I used the elephant from Dandelion Designs new cling set called "happy hello". The lollipop is from the "so sweet" set. I used glossy accents on the lollipop to give it a shine.
For this card I took out one of my older dies from Sizzix called A2 card and used the window pane movers & shapers die to cut out the window. I'm so glad I still have these dies.
I used a Studio Calico stamp by Hero Arts for the background called "alphabet pattern" and embossed it with clear embossing powder.
The purple background is actually white cardstock that I cut out using Spellbinder's "wonky rectangles" nestablities and using Tim Holtz distress inks, I inked the background in dusty concord.
Then I embossed it with Tim Holtz's texture fades Halloween & backgrounds set.
The pumpkins and trick or treat bag is from Dandelion Designs Halloween set.
Here's a picture of the make & take Halloween candy treat holder that I did at J's 2 weeks ago. We used the monster stamp from Dandelion Designs "smile" set. 
I used Sizzix album, fanciful XL die for the background of my card. First I stamped "Happy Halloween" from The Stamps of Life clear set, and I used leftover die cut pieces in black and white from a class we did last year and embossed it with the spider textured impressions folder from the spider & spiderweb set.
I cut the label design with my Eclips machine using the basic shapes cartridge. While working on my project, I kept thinking about candy corn which is why I chose the 3 colors for my flower.

I cut the grass out with my Eclips machine using the Edges cartridge. And the embossed background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder. The pretty orange sheer ribbon is American Crafts which I bought last week from Ben Franklin Crafts.
And because I didn't want to waste the punched out pumpkin, I used it to decorate the inside of my card.
Word stamp is also Dandelion Designs. See, I stamped the face on the pumpkin.
Here is what the punch looks like and the face stamp.
I stamped 2 of the same monsters but colored them in different colors.
I love how each character in the new cling sets have that extra hand stamp so you can have them holding something.
Here's what the zigzag 3-D pop-up looks like behind the stamped image. This die is so much fun and so many ways of creating with it.
And because I made the witches hat in black, I wanted to make sure that you could see the black spider. So I cut the spider in black and also a taupe color and placed the taupe paper under the black spider to outline it.
That's a new Hero Arts stamp from the "Spooky Halloween" set that I stamped on the orange rectangle piece. The box that I used is an older Sizzix XL die called triangle box.
I layered the papers before cutting out the circle in the middle. The patterned paper is from Echo Park which I've been hoarding but I've told myself that it's time to let go and use up the papers.
And that cute little "hello" stamp is from Dandelion Designs. We will be using this stamp this coming Saturday at Ben Franklin Crafts Pearl City's paper party. I'll be there from 10-11 am doing a make & take. Sorry, I got sidetracked. Back to my card. Not sure if you can see it but I used a scallop border punch to make the bird border.
I'm not sure why I chose the color yellow but it's a happy color.
The white doily was cut from a die from Cheery Lynn called "french pastry". One of my favorite dies to use these days.
Embossed card is a Sizzix embossing folder which I can't remember the name right now.
Thanks for stopping by as always and leaving your sweet comments! Have a great and wonderful day.
The little white tag is a Martha Stewart punch and the lace border is also a Martha Stewart punch.
Lately, I've been feeling a little uncomfortable where we live. We have a shoe thief that has been stealing our shoes. It's a creepy feeling knowing that it is someone in our neighborhood that is watching us to see when we leave the house. So, we had to put all our everyday shoes and slippers inside the house to stop this thief from stealing them.
I used a Fiskars border punch for the edge of the orange cardstock. And the stamped words are a clear set from Hero Arts called oceans of joy.
I stamped the envelope background with a Hero Arts stamp set called Sweet Threads Labels in pink Memento ink. The top of the bag is closed with a miniature clothespin from 7 Gypsies. I put Kiyomi's butterfly on top of the clothespin. The punched border is a Martha Stewart punch.
Sorry if the picture is dark but I've been having problems taking photos in my kitchen because the light doesn't work. So I've been using flash, which leaves a shadow in the background.
