So I was thinking I will change up the blog a bit. SOMEONE (and I won't mention any names...) said there was too much pink! Can you believe it? What an absurd statement... "too much pink." My favorite color is pink so I personally don't think there is such a thing as too much pink! Anyway, I hope you like the new layout!
I'm almost ready to post those Christmas cards I've been telling you about. It's looking like I will have some free time to post this weekend so be sure to check back then.
In the meantime.... Happy Stamping!

And check out the inside:
Too cool, right?!

Spooky Halloween Card
I'm back with the second project from my Monthly Hostess Club! This card was very easy to make and came together quickly.
Isn't the moon cool? To achieve that look I punched a circle out of a post-it and stuck it over my embossed stamped image. Then I sponged different layers of ink around it until I was happy with the way it looked. Let me know what you think!
All Supplies from Stampin Up:
Stamp Set- House of Haunts
Cardstock - Basic Gray, Basic Black, So Saffron
Ink - Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Misc. - Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, VersaMark Pad, Raven Lace Trim, Stampin' Dimensionals
If you live in the Conejo Valley and would like to join our monthly stamping club, send me an email and I'll let you in on all the details! Every member gets a FREE Stampin Up Catalog Idea Book. When it's your turn to host you will receive all the benefits that month, Including a FREE level 1 Hostess stamp set, a minimum of $15 in FREE Stampin Up product and a special gift from me! We meet once a month on a Wednesday morning at 10:30. You can also become a "Virtual" member! Interested??? Send me an email to learn more!
Right now I'm working on a basket of Holiday cards for the auction at my daughter's school so I am going to start posting some Christmas cards. Make sure you subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out! I hope to bring you lots of ideas and inspiration this holiday season!

Monthly Hostess Club Begins!!!
Boy was I anxious to get this club started. A few months ago my friends were asking me to start a daytime stamping club. So after putting together all the details last month we finally got started. I have been a participant in monthly stamping clubs for a few years now but I have never RUN one! We are a very small group but we had a lot of fun creating two Halloween projects. The first one is this "fangtastic" treat box I CASE'd from fellow demonstrator Angie Kennedy Juda. To watch her video tutorial on how to make this box click here.
And here is the side view:
A few things I LOVE about this little treat box.... first is the sparkly bat! I have been putting him on almost all my cards and Halloween projects this year. You will fall in love with our Smooch Spritz after just one use. All you do is shake & spray! Voila! You can turn any paper into sparkly awesomeness! Second is that way cool spider web raised background. You'll be seeing a lot of that in my Halloween projects too! It's not a specialty paper, it's just a piece of Basic Black cardstock run through the Big Shot with the new Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.... Voila! (wow, I'm French now?) Another easy way to kick your projects up a notch!
Stampin Up Supplies used for this project:
Stamp Sets - Fang-Tastic
Cardstock - Whisper White, Roch Razzleberry, Basic Black, Certainly Celery
Ink - Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Certainly Celery
Ribbon - Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Grossgrain, Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta
Misc. - Spider Wed Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 1-3/4" scallop circle Punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, Bitty Bat Large punch, 1/16" circle handheld punch, Stampin Dimensionals, Blender Pens, Silver Foil Smooch Spritz
Non-SU Supplies: 2" scallop circle punch, embroidery floss
We also made a spooky Halloween card. Wanna see it? I'll show it to you when you tune in tomorrow!
Happy Stamping Everyone!

Don't you just LOVE a good bargain?
I really do pride myself on being a fantastic bargain shopper and I rarely pay full price for anything. In fact, that's the main reason I became a Stampin Up demonstrator..... so I could get all my stamping supplies at a discount! Well, If you like bargains like I do then you'll want to check out the clearance rack on my Stampin Up website. Here you will find a ton of bargains with discounts up to 80% off! But you better hurry, because when they're gone..... they're GONE!
When you click on this link you will be directed to The Card Kitchen Pantry Stampin Up website. From there just click on "products" at the top of the page then "shop now"
Have a great day & Happy Shopping!
