So one of my favorite things is Halloween.  I love everything about it; decorating, getting dressed up, parties and trick or treating.  It’s ALL fun!  I also love making samplers because I can use so many different stamp sets, products and accessories.  While I have made a Halloween shadow box in the past this is the first time I have made a full sampler.  It was so much fun since I got to use so many fabulous products from both of the current catalogs.

First, almost all the squares were stamped with the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad.  This is definitely a must have for an everyday black ink pad.  It works great with the Blends, like on the first square with the raven, but it is equally great on the squares with the cards, bats, spider webs and for the jack-o-lantern in the last square.

So, my second favorite thing right now is the Mercury Glass Specialty Paper.  I love how it works behind the Wicked die (it is Rich Razzleberry cardstock inked with VersaMark and embossed with the Black Glimmer Embossing Powder).  This paper is so unique and I have some great ideas for using it for my Countless Christmas Card Buffets coming up in November and December.

I know it has been around for a while, but I am still a huge fan of the Embossing Paste and decorative masks. It was really fun using the brick wall mask along with the paste and Smoky Slate Reinker with the spiders and webs from the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set to make the fifth square.

The final product that I think is this year’s must have it the Harvest Hellos Bundle that I used for the first square..  I love that it makes pumpkins, jack-0-lanterns and apples.  It is a stamp set and punch that you can use year round for LOTS of different projects.

Thank you for letting me share a little bit about my Halloween Sampler and a few of my favorite things.  If you have questions, need help placing an order or want help with a project.  I would love to help you!

I am off to hop along to see what Tina Lesson’s favorite things.  I hope you will come along with us!  Until next month….

Product List

Did I mention that while Allison is a very talented and experienced painter and crafter, she had NEVER stamped until last week!  But like me and SO many of you she was totally sucked in by the Wickedly Wonderful Bundle and The Raven stamp set in this year’s Holiday Catalog.  Allison did a great job for her first time out doing everything from fussy cutting to embossing and she is a really pro with the Stamparatus and the punches!  We made two of each ornament, one for her and one for me working together on them as we went.  I can’t decide if the Raven or the bat on the full moon with the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate is my favorite.  I just think they are all so much fun.

I have included a basic product list below, but if you have questions or need help making your own ornaments or other projects inspired by this post let me know by commenting below or contacting me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com.  I would love to help you!

Well, I need to get laundry folded and put away before Sadie gets home from doggie day camp.  Thank you for letting me share my projects with you.

Happy Stamping!
