Got a couple of cute samples from our demonstrator meeting to share this morning. I appreciate having a few fun Halloween things to show my customer friends, as I don't do Halloween myself. Wanda D. made the "spooky" card with the stamp set Dark and Dreary, and the new Spider Web embossing folder for the Big Shot as her swap card. Julie L. made the cute little Top Note folder purse with the Wicked Fun specialty DSP, a Glimmer Brad, and the new Bat Punch. The stamp she used is from a set called Wicked Cool.
To make the Top Note folder, just fold your card in half before running it through the Big Shot--but position it so it is not cutting two separate Top Notes, but leaving a "hinge" along one side (make sure you have the folded edge pulled back from the side of the die a little). Then she cut a Scallop Oval die cut in half to make the cute handles. Finish it off with embellishments and a little quarter-dot of self-adhesive velcro. What a fun project!
Please quit enabling ... I don't have the scallop oval die ... yet! :)

Loved all the samples! But, I have to share this: when I got home from the meeting I made my sister look at all the samples. She got to the little purse and noticed that is was thicker than the regular cards. She asked, "Does this have a bat in it?" I think she thought something was going to POP-OUT of it! It would be a cute idea to put a "gummi" bat in there! What an amazing team we have!!!!

Love the topnote purse! How adorable would that be for a child's Valentines's Day card exchange?
