OCC - A Psycho Inspiration!

This week on Our Creative Corner, Lori Rider has challenged us to make a card inspired by a favorite horror or Halloween movie/story/book!

Well I started out by trying to think of a movie/book first but I just couldn't see how to put it onto a card! So then I decided to reverse my thinking and take a look at my stamps to see if any of them reminded me of a book or movie! I picked up this Haunted House stamp from SU! and was immediately reminded of the movie Psycho!

So then I wanted to make it obvious which movie was the inspiration for this card and thought a famous quote from the movie would do the trick!! I Googled it and theis is what I found!



I have to admit that this may very well be one of my FAVE Halloween cards ever!!! I really love the color I achieved by sponging Really Rust on Summer Sun Paper. The house is stamped in Black Craft Ink and embossed with Clear powder. I used sponges to create the bg! The black back panel is embossed with a Sizzix embossing Folder!


We would love to see what scary book or movie inspires you so be sure to link your creation back to Our Creative Corner using Mr.Linky and if you upload to SCS, use Keyword OCCC!
Thanks so much for stoppin' in for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee

Doublicious Extravaganza- Stamping on CDs!

It's Stampalicous Monday over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog and this week we are offering TWICE the fun! Not only are we having a fun challenge with a fab prize we are also offering a Coupon Code for 10% off at the Totally Stampalicious Store!

Our challenge this week is to stamp on anything OTHER THAN PAPER!! That leaves the possibilities wide open...candles, CDs, Acetate, Ceramic Tiles, Boxes...basically anything that will hold ink!!

I stamped on a CD that I made for a gift set that I made for a friend of mine!


It worked really well, however I discovered on the first try that if you stamp too close to the center of th disc you may ruin it...at least I think that's waht happened! This one worked perfectly!!

I made this cute case for it using the FAB Tutorial on SCS!!



Thanks so much for poppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!!

Stampalicious Monday-Better Shape Up!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends! I had a wonderful weekend spent with friends and family...I really do have so much to be thankful for!

For those of you that may be wondering why I had no posts for the C4C and OCC challenges, it's because my computer had a major meltdown!! Fortunately, Becky's dad is a genius and was able to fix it AND save all my pics!!!

Now for the Stampalicious Monday challenge! This week we are asking you to create a card in any shape other than a square or rectangle! You can find all the details on the Totally Stampalicious Blog!



I used our Witchy Brawd...she really is 'totally witchin' in her glittery outfit! The card base is from a kit I got from CTMH!
