Hallo...what?

One of the things I'm trying out with my new clubs is Stump the Stamper.  The club hostess can bring something to try and stump me with.  It can be anything she wants, a stamp set, a tool, a die, an ink color, and while my club girls are stamping away I will make something with what the hostess brought.  I'm loving this...it's fun! 

This month, I was almost stumped with the Peek-a-Boo Frames die.  I have this die, but I don't use it very often!  And, this month, it took me a while to come up with something!

For some reason, I had a Halloween idea pop into my head.  Yeah, I dont' know why either!!!  But, here's what I came up with!

The o's open up (that's the Peek-A-Boo Frame part!) and there's little jack-o-lanterns under them!

My card base is Pumpkin Pie cardstock which I stamped with teh Bingo Card background stamp.  The whole card base is matted with a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  The boo is on a piece of Kucky Limeade cardstock which was embossed with the Spider Web Embossing Folder and is matted with a piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

I have a new Stamp Club starting in August.  This club will meed on the third Monday of each month and run for 10 months.  I do still have some spaces available in this club, so if you're interested in coming once a month to do some fun stamping projects, play Stump the Stamper with me and learn new stamping techniques and ideas let me know!  I would love to have you join my club!

Have an inspired day!

Stump The Stamper-Round 2!

Last week at club it was round 2 of Stump the Stamper!  I just started Stump the Stamper with my club that started last month and I've got to say, I'm loving it!  I love the challenge and I love seeing what the hostess brings to try and stump me!

Here's how it works.  My club hostess of the month is allowed to bring something to try and stump the stamper (which is me!).  I then have the duration of club that night to create something with whatever they brought me.  The only rule is that it has to be Stampin' Up! product.  And, when I make something, the person who brought the product gets to take home whatever I've made!  If the hostess doesn't bring something, then someone else can try and stump the stamper.  And, I know that there are a couple girls in this club who will ALWAYS have something in their bags to try and stump me just in case.

This month, the hostess didn't bring anything, but one of the other girls had a little something in her bag...surprise!!!  She had the Circle Circus set.  I'm not gonna lie, I thought this was going to be an easy challenge, but I was wrong.  For the life of me, I couldn't come up with a great idea with this stamp set!!!  So, I went with something super easy...

Quick and easy!  I'm loving Stump the Stamper so much, that I think I'm going to start doing it with all my stamp clubs that are starting!

Have an inspired day!
