Oh, Baby!

The Single Stamps are so easily overlooked with all the exciting new products from Stampin’ Up! but there are some fantastic images there – how about this?

Maui Stamper Oh Baby Turquoise and Lime

This would be perfect as a favor, too – stick that sweet girl on the front of a Fancy Favor box, or over the top of a gusset bag…loads of options.  You can tell I was in a Brights sort of mood, and it got better (or worse, depending on your perspective!)

Maui Stamper Oh Baby Tangerine and MamboSame set of products, different colors.  I used rhinestones instead of brads, pierced a circle instead of doodling, and used the Chevron TIEF.  Next time I’ll use a softer background for the card photo – this makes my eyes water!  The card base is white and those crazy 60’s color combinations are pretty fun.

And yes, I was there for the 60’s.  I wore those colors – together!  Fortunately, although photos from that era have survived, they are sadly faded.

Thank Goodness for (self-stick) Googlies!!

Am I the only person who is incredibly grateful for self-stick Googlie Eyes?  I can’t tell you how many times I have stuck my fingers together with Tombo (the Wonder Adhesive) in the attempt to put Googlie Eyes on a project.  Maybe I’m a klutz, or maybe I’m just too stubborn to dig out the tweezers, but I am very happy to have a sheet of peel-and-stick Googlie Eyes 🙂

Stampin' Up! Ghoulish Googlies Luminaria

The Ghoulish Googlies Designer kit makes perfect Halloween luminarias – as long as you put a battery operated tea light inside instead of a real wax candle!  I ran the bag through the Big Shot with the new Chevron TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder) and used a little Champagne Mist Shimmer paint to sparkle it up, thought it doesn’t show well in this photo.  It was quick, easy and fun, and the kit includes supplies for 10 bags, tags and twine, PLUS a full sheet of Googlie Eyes.  Just add stamps and you’re set!
