Amuse Studio Fight Like A Girl

Amuse Studio is pleased to announce that we are continuing our Stamp Out Breast Cancer awareness campaign again this year. To promote breast cancer awareness, we are giving away free "Fight like a Girl" Stamp Sets during the month of October.
Each Fight Like a Girl stamp set includes a "push-pin" stamp that women can use to stamp their calendar each month to serve as a reminder to do a self-exam, which is so critical for early detection. There will also be information on breast health included with each stamp set.
The stamp set must be ordered through a Consultant and will have a $3 shipping and handling fee per set.

Ghostly Greetings Treats!

Remember when I used the clear square containers from Target to make Valentine treats?  Here is that post -  I decided they sure would make cute treats for Halloween so I pulled out a few more from my stash.  I'm a real hoarder when it comes to containers, boxes and bags if you didn't know this about me :)  
They are such a great price but unfortunately I haven't seen them in the dollar bin at my Target any more.  Good thing I bought extra, huh?

Amuse Studio Halloween Banner

I made this Halloween Banner with Amuse Studio's Digital File - what a fun & festive decoration!

I sized the designs on my Silhouette mat so that I could fit all three of the Halloween Picados on a sheet of Amuse Studio 8 ½" x 11 card stock.  I cut four sheets of card stock - Violeta, Marigold, Margarita and Habanero.

Boo to You!

I have a ghost theme going on today.  The card at the top left was made by the gals at Amuse Studio.  I didn't have that exact ghost or that color of Splash so my card is a little different version using similar products.  I found the Rice Krispie treats idea online and thought it looked pretty simple and fun to make!

Stamps:  In The Shadows, Ghostly Greetings
Cardstock:  Onyx, Sugar, Fiesta 6x6 patterned paper
Ink:  Onyx Versafine, Habanero Splash Spray, Orange Splash Spray
Other:  Onyx Baker's Twine, Boo Word Die, Corner Chomper, 3D Foam Adhesive

The Onyx card stock is 4 ¼" square.  Spray the Splash Ink on the script patterned paper from the Fiesta paper pack.  Allow to dry.  Die cut the word "boo" from a small piece of Sugar card stock.  Stamp and cut the ghost shape from a piece of Sugar card stock.  Adhere script patterned paper square to Sugar card stock layer.  Adhere "boo" die cut to the Onyx layer.  Adhere all layers to Onyx card base.  Use the ½" side of the corner chomped to round all four corners of the card base.  Tie Onyx baker's twine around the left side of the card.

Wicked Amazing!

I received a wonderful package in the mail yesterday from Shari!  I knew it was coming so I was on mailbox alert all day.  Don't you know that my mail wasn't delivered until after 5 pm yesterday?  That was cruel Mr. Postman! 

 But it was so worth the wait, check out what she made this year!  Every year she amazes me with her creativity.  It is a wood cut out of the numbers 31 on a base piece.  She is a complete Rock Star -  look at all the Amuse Studio Products that she showcased in this first project.  UNBELIEVABLE!

Marshmallow Ghost Peeps!

I found these Marshmallow Ghost Peeps in the grocery store and couldn't wait to make up some cute little treats for Halloween.  I used Amuse Studio's small cellophane bags (3"x5½") Item #BAGSML1 to package the ghost.  I cut three Amuse Studio straws in half and then added the Onyx & Orange Baker's Cording.  I did trim part of the cellophane bag after I tied them up to better show off the cute straw!  A quick and simple treat!
The treat bags below were inspired from Page 9 of the Amuse Studio Holiday catalog.  More cute peeps for my peeps!
