Handmade for the Holidays Blog Hop

Welcome to the HANDMADE FOR THE HOLIDAYS BLOG HOP!  We have a fun line up for you to showcase products from the NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG!

I personally LOVE to make Halloween cards and treats, so today I am sharing a super fun HOWL-O-WEEN TREAT card!  I also have some BLOG CANDY for you at the end of this post to get you started on your own Halloween cards!

How cute is this!!!  My card is full of new products from the Holiday Catalog and I love them all!!  One of the best things about this new catalog is all of the amazing BUNDLES of products that Stampin' Up! did for us.  This particular card features the HOWL-O-WEEN TREAT stamp set and BOO TO YOU Framelits that I got at a 15% discount with the bundle!

Since there are coordinating framelits for this set, I had this card put together in no time!  In fact, I have a quick little video to show you exactly what I did, including a fun little trick with the new SPIDER WEB DOILIES.

See what I mean!! Quick and easy card that packs a lot of punch!  Isn't the doily trick so fun!  Now I have a little extra piece to use for later!

I had this same card envisioned in my head and had thought about cutting center of doubly out for use late as well. Great minds thunk alike. LOL! Love your bag too. This year I am doing mostly black, orange and purple (Raspberry Ripple ot BlackBerry Bliss). TFS!

Great minds do think alike Cyndi! Love your colors combos :) Blackberry Bliss isn't a color I use a lot, but it's works great for Halloween!

I think my favorite combo is the black with blackberry bliss. Then depending on the card a touch of lime green or orange.

This card is darling. My favorite colors for Halloween are the traditional black and orange (pumpkin pie) but love the touch of the Rich Razzleberry.

Hi, again! Not sure if my other comment posted, but I just watched your tutorial on YouTube (and subscribed!), and I loved your tip about the doilies! Genius!

Nicole Tugrul said...

Thanks Rebecca! Gotta love the traditional Halloween colors!

Nicole Tugrul said...

Nicole Tugrul said...

Glad you enjoyed the video Myrene! I love those colors for Halloween too!

Sandra Meyers said...

I love the spiderweb doilies and would be so happy to win an extra set. My favourite Halloween colours are black, orange, and purple. Not only are there many shades of orange and purple, but look at all the textures of black we have to use - matte, glossy, glittery, vellum, etc. Stampin Up cards come alive right before our eyes!

Sandra Meyers said...

I just subscribed to your U Tube videos. I can't wait to start watching them and see how you make your magic. Thanks for sharing so much.

Nicole Tugrul said...

You are so right Sandra! I love all the options we have from Stampin' Up! My new favorite is the black glimmer paper!

Nicole Tugrul said...

Thank you so much Sandra! I hope you enjoy all the videos!
