Haunted Forest

For today's Saturday Sample, I'm sharing this quick and easy card using the single stamp Haunted Forest from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I'm so excited about all the holidays approaching, and Halloween is first–my birthday:)
Embossed Halloween

I received this handmade card as a swap at a recent demonstrator meeting, and it's a great example of simple elements coming together to form a great card.  As an added bonus, it's gender neutral, so you can use this as a masculine card or feminine card.  Love that versatility!

On the Grow

You have just days left to purchase On the Grow stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog.  The Summer Mini is valid through August 31st only; after that On the Grow will be gone.

On the Grow Quilt

Although the Summer Mini and many of its products will be gone, summer for us here in South Texas is not.  Wow.  It has been a long, very hot, very dry summer.  In San Antonio, we are on Stage 2 water restrictions and praying for rain to break a serious drought.  Although I am really, really looking forward to fall this year (it's my favorite season anyway, but after this brutal summer, it will be especially welcome!), I will be sad to wave goodbye to this lovely stamp set in the Summer Mini.

 
This handmade card makes great use of the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder (one of my favorites!) to bring realistic texture to this paper quilt.  And the Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette color combo is just scrummy!  I received this as part of a Summer Mini swap I participated in.  The fine detailing make is extra special.
