I just can't stop... (and a giveaway)
... reaching into my Halloween candy. Got it early. Bad mistake.
YUM.
(And, I promise that whoever wins the giveaway at the end of this post will get a piece of candy, too.)
We have never been super big into Halloween around here. But Colin LOVES it. Loves all the scary stuff ("It is just pretend") and hype. We even carved our pumpkins so long ago that they already are rotten as can be and we need to get some more. Naturally, we are all a bit more into Halloween now.
So, I have found myself making more Halloween cards this year. These two are for the girls. I am in love with the K&Company Spooktacular line. (No - not getting paid to say so - I just love it.) It is CUTE Halloween stuff. SO adorable. I used the glitter fence stickers on these cards...
Used Black Enamel Accents for the eyes and nose. Addicted to that stuff in a major way...
You should go check out the whole line HERE. Adorable stuff. These are my faves...
If you are interested in buying any of them, you can get the Spooktacular line HERE.
Oh, and that cute bear? Check out THIS Cat's Pajamas set. (They have the cutest stamp sets.) I have had it for ages but finally used it. Look at all the themes you can create from one set...
And I thought I would share some K&Company & Martha Stewart Halloween love. Just leave a comment here by Monday night for a chance to win these goodies...
(By the way, thanks to Tara at EK Success for giving me these goodies for the giveaway. Smooch.)
Have a good weekend!

Super cute! We still haven't got our pumpkins yet. I did finish the costumes though!
Posted by: Teresa Hord | October 16, 2010 at 11:14 PM
Love that little bear! I almost bought some Halloween candy today but know I'd eat it all before the big day. I'll get some in a week or so to keep myself honest!

Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for giving all of us a chance to win some great Halloween products. I have been making a lot of Halloween projects this season because I had 3 more grandchildren born this year! I love to make little Halloween mini albums for them and door hangings.

Thanks for showing the enamel stuff in action! I bought it, but hadn't seen anything done with it and I'm a "show me" crafter. K& Company stuff is always some of the cutest out there too!
Posted by: SW Ranches Donna | October 16, 2010 at 11:33 PM
Your cards are adorable. That little bear is just too cute! I'm also in love with that black enamel accents. Perfect for little eyes & noses!

Glad to see you caught the Halloween bug! It's one of my favorite tiems of the year. Thanks for the giveaway!

Great cards!! I love that little bear. I love Halloween chocolate, the small size means that you can eat a few without the guilt... well without much guilt. But it is so yummy!!
Posted by: Gabriela | October 16, 2010 at 11:41 PM
That bear stamp is simply adorable!
Posted by: Alecia | October 16, 2010 at 11:46 PM
I really like how you have started to add the pictures at the end your post, of what you use for your projects. Thanks friendly enabler! :)

I've been making all kinds of Halloween stuff this year. I just finished a Halloween sign using an acrylic album. It's just too much fun :)

Love the cute bear, so adorable! Your girls will love the cards
Posted by: Karla | October 16, 2010 at 11:53 PM
Awesome cards Jennifer. I'm not into Halloween as we don't really celebrate it here in NZ, but these would make me want to make some cards
Posted by: Dawn T | October 16, 2010 at 11:57 PM
I'm not a huge Halloween person either. I have gotten into more the last few years because I teach and I dress up for my students. Awesome giveaway BTW. Thanks.
Posted by: Angee Lee Butler | October 16, 2010 at 11:58 PM
Oh yeah, I bought the K&Company Spooktacular stickers the other day and love it! They're sooooo very adorable and fun. =)
Cute cards! =)
Posted by: Yali | October 16, 2010 at 11:59 PM
I love Halloween, but time is just moving too fast for me this fall! I did finally get a few decorations up today... but they're mostly fall-themed items that I won't have to take down until after Thanksgiving! :)

Posted by: Jessica | October 17, 2010 at 12:07 AM
Cute stuff there and I have the same problem. Dumped all the mini candy bars into the cauldron and grab one every time I go past.
Posted by: Kathy Eddy | October 17, 2010 at 12:15 AM
Love that glitter fence, and the woodgrain background looks fab! Hope you're having a nice weekend! :)
Posted by: Barb :) | October 17, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Love K & Co - their embellishments are so wonderful.
Posted by: April | October 17, 2010 at 12:27 AM
beautiful card. Love the glitter fence. The layout and the textures are wonderful but I am truly impressed with your cutting. The broom is so thin and beautifully cut.
Also I really like the link layout at the bottom of your blog posts. It's a nice clean design and they are very useful.
Posted by: Katherine Bolinger | October 17, 2010 at 12:30 AM
Fun stuff! Just picked out my kids' Halloween costumes tonight...and we've had the candy for a week but haven't broken into it...YET. ;)
Love the black enamel you used on your cards! Especially a great touch for the hat. Fun giveaway too! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Cynthia B. | October 17, 2010 at 12:34 AM
I have only been card making a little over a year and thank goodness that at one of the local classes that I attended told me about your site. I have learned so much from it and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays (I don't have a large inventory yet) but that doesn't prevent me creating cards. I will think of you enjoy that candy for me. Thank you again for sharing.
Posted by: Sherry | October 17, 2010 at 01:03 AM
I know all about buying Halloween candy early, totally a bad idea! I am glad Colin got you in the Halloween spirit! It is a FUN holiday1 Everyone should enjoy it! The cards are adorable. I need to order the Black enamel accents! Sooo cool
Thanks for the chance to win

Posted by: Anthonette | October 17, 2010 at 01:21 AM
OK, so now I NEED that set of Bear stamps. Too cute! Although, wouldn't mind that amazing package from EK success as well.. :)

Adorable Halloween card Jennifer. I wish we celelbrated Halloween here in South Africa! Just wanted to tell you have I am LOVING your Thinking Inking class over at 2Peas. I have never taken part in such an event, and have just this morning made my 3rd card based on your techniques. I am so enjoying trying things I have never tried before :) You are truly inspiring!

Posted by: Christine Campbell | October 17, 2010 at 02:03 AM
I love this cute bear! Your card is adorable and that lop-sided hat looks fab. Don't put me into the draw - well, maybe for the REAL candy only :) I wish we had a place to get all the yummy treats you have in the States!
