Spooky Bingo Bits - Halloween Perfection!

I know...who gives Halloween cards?  I love making them...but I end up with lots of them at the end of each Halloween. The stamps and paper are just too cute not to use! 

This is a quick and easy card which features the Spider Web Embossing Folder for the Big Shot.  Embossing folders aren't just for cardstock - they rock on Designer Series Paper and if you sand it, you can exposure the core of the paper for a cool effect as seen above. If you don't have a Big Shot, click here to learn how you can get one before Halloween for FREE.

The stamping on this card is super simple, both stamps come from my new Halloween go-to stamp set, Spooky Bingo Bits. This set features 24 super cute stamps perfect for decorating treats, or even setting up a bingo board like the name implies!

Featured colors on this card are Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black and Basic Grey. 

Have a great weekend!

French Foilage Z-Fold All Occasion Card

Can you tell I am in a fall kind of mood?  This is a swap card I'm working on for an event that I am guest speaking at this weekend in Michigan. (Shh...don't spill the beans!) The Creative Convention is hostessed by my good friend Ronda Wade and she has 80 ladies from Michigan, Ontario and beyond coming in for the weekend for all kinds of Stampin' Up training and fun!  I am so looking forward to being at an event and not being in charge! :) Plus, I get to go on a roadtrip with my good friend Kym which will help make a long drive short as I'm sure we won't be lacking things to discuss.

This card features a Z-fold opening which I created with the Simply Scored Tool.  Creating a Z-Fold is simple!  Cut your cardstock to 4.25 x 8.25 and then score it on the 8.5 side at 2.75 and 5.5 inches.  See...easy peasy!  The card design was inspired by a 3x3 card I received in a swap at Convention. Of course, in true Maggie fashion, I've removed all the info off those cards - so silly. If it is yours, claim it!

The rest of the card is pretty simple, just lots of layers:

• The front panel has the woodgrain paper from the Well Worn Designer Series Paper package cut to 2.5 x 4 inches and attached with SNAIL.
• The middle panel I stamped and then embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. 
• The smaller one is created with the 1 inch square punch layered on the Postage Punch. Love this combo as cutting a 1 inch square is way too fiddly for my liking!

Tips & Tricks - The background is stamped with Crumb Cake for a tone on tone effect.  The main leaf is stamped using 2-Step stamping - the Stampin-Ma-Jig is the best tool to help you line it up. If you don't have this tool, this stamp positionning tool is a must have! And check out the scalloped pieces behind the Designer Series Paper, that's two strips of the Dotted Scallop Border punch.
