My share today was done for my group's weekly challenge.  I used the set Chalk Talk, this set is also available in a bundle that includes Framelits,and Feels Good for the sentiment inside.  The paper used was Sahara Sand base and mat for tag, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Very Vanilla and a bit of Designer Paper from Sweater Weather DSP.  I added a little texture to the tag and Soft Sky mat using the Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions Folder  For the finishing touches I added the candy dots to each side, Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand.  Lastly, I did a double bow with Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding.  I love, love, love the ribbon from Stampin' UP!.  They always have the right ribbon for your projects.  Have you tried it?

Halloween Share and some news

Today's card share is done the August Best of 25 years set "Best of Halloween" .  The Best of 25 yrs sets are available until March 31, 2014 and with the purchase of 6 you can get a free stamp set (a 14.95 value).  Each set comes with a collector's card and a special sticker that shows proof of purchase.  I also used the new Thinlits Circle Card Die. 

The other stamp set I used was the Happy Halloween from the Seasonal Sayings Set for the sentiment on the in side and the stripes from Gorgeous Grunge on a piece of Very Vanilla for the inside flap.  Paper used is Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Modern Medley DSP and Basic Black.  I used some of the Witch's Brew Designers Washi Tape  I also used Smokey Slate and Cherry Cobbler Classic Stamp Pads.  The bats came from a retired punch I had.  I think it all came together just great. 

The Company introduced a few new items over the past few weeks.  None are found in catalogs but have promising futures.  
First is the Envelop Punch Board...This was introduced to Demonstrators at Convention in July what a great tool to add to your toolbox.
