Title: Halloween
Hostess: Melissa, mollymoo951
Keyword: MAR13VSNB
Day/Date: Friday, March 1st
Time: 6:00pm EST

When I first saw the theme "Birds, Bees & Creepy Crawlies", I immediately zeroed in on the CREEPY CRAWLIES. When else...ya gonna see CREEPY CRAWLIES but on HALLOWEEN! :mrgreen:


My challenge is threefold! :wink:

1. You must use something HALLOWEEN themed on your card.

2. Your creepy crawlie must be SHINY!

3. Your card must contain CHOCOLATE! As in milk chocolate / SU! Chocolate Chip color. (Chocolate fingerprints? Well...OK. I'll count those. :wink:)


There's several ways to go here. Your Halloween themed item can be paper or stamps. Your shiny could be heat embossing, Crystal Effects or glitter.

I have one sample to share. The first one...I use a sentiment from SU! Web Wishes, a Halloween stamp set. My worm is from SU! Bugs & Kisses, a NON-Halloween stamp set. The middle panel is a mild Halloween patterend paper.

Go mild or go wild! I didn't have time to go wild. :lol: Have fun! :D

I do like the card, tho.

Okay. I'm eating a dish of rocky road ice cream while uploading this card ...

This was definitely challenging!! Thanks for pushing me beyond my comfort zone


VSN Spiders and Chocolate! by berlycece - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

:lol: I just finished a slice of cheesecake.

What?! VSN is hazardous to our diets... I just wanted to make sure that the chocolate theme was well represented in my efforts. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

you dun good! :mrgreen:

Hmmmm...after dinner (hubby is cooking now) I will do my part to reinforce the chocolate theme

this is so cute. granny gonna hit that big shiny spider with her broom! :mrgreen:

:lol: I was gonna ask ya if you got chocolate fingerprints on the card. :wink:

:D

And that reminds me...I guess I could go after a cup of coffee and eat those Cadbury Mini Eggs I picked up in Michael's today. They were having a rockin' clearance sale...SMASH stuff...slashed!

Really like this...no, they don't crawl...but i think you hit the creepy. :wink: Pretty cool card. Amazing how we can make Halloween cards with non-halloween specific stamps.

Ugh, you are not helping me stay out of Mike's! ;)

Challenging challenge, Melissa!!! I'm gonna have to think on this! Are butterflies and bees creepy crawlies? Or only the more objectionable bugs? ;)

Hi Melissa! Halloween. hum... :) I have no Halloween stamps that I know of, but I have an idea, and I could manage the chocolate finger prints. LOL
:)

Thanks, Melissa. I used embossing glitter - a nightmare to me! Maybe I could pretend the glitter is my own bugaboo!

I had to hunt out my halloween stamps in a hurry!

I've used a Halloween stamp set and dies, with chocolate chip ink and dimensional glaze on my creepy spider!

Here's Mine:

Creepy Chocolate

By all means...if you can fit a butterfly or a bee into a shiny, chocolate, Halloween card...GO FOR IT! :mrgreen: :wink:

:D

I know...(about Mike's)...I saw a lady doing the same thing I was...I said...they are having a rockin' sale, aren't they. yes, she said. i said, i see you're doing exactly what I'm doing...we gonna have to get busy when we get home, huh? she looked at me...thought a minute...then busted out laughing...said...yeah....hahaha...we are!

:D

Hi Sharon! :D

It doesn't have to be a Halloween stamp...just Halloween themed! Got a worm...ok...that did not come out right. :wink: Got a worm stamp? A spider stamp? Halloween DSP?

The orange in the title or sentiment....I saw that...LOVE IT!

Messy stuff tho. Glitter, messy. Embossing powder, messy. Embossing glitter? :shock: **thud** :wink:

Okay, don't confuse me, lol! Does it need to be a Halloween card? Or just use a Halloween item??

wow. very nice CAS halloween card. it really looks great! hard to believe that BLING can be CAS. but yeah...

LOL you have me ROFL!

Use something Halloween themed on your card.

Everyone is madly stamping Halloween themed cards. Or eating supper. :wink:

I have several jars from Stampendous (I know you're shocked). I also have Iridescent Ice from SU which is a clear base. Are you gonna make me post a photo of them to prove I'm nuts for buying things I *hate* to use? :mrgreen:
