Sooo Exciting! Spooooky! Part 2

So previously I noted that the Spooky Spider Decor Element was available for purchase, and now I have examples of what you can do with it! :D I apologize in advance for some of the quality of the pictures. They are very reflective, and difficult to capture.

I went to Target and found this bowl:


It says that it is a "soup bowl" but I don't know who uses bowls with lids for soup...? I don't, anyway. But I do think it is a perfect candy dish. Now candy dishes, they have lids...anyway: I spotted these bowls with lids, and thought "man that would look way cute with a spider on it!" I measured and it appeared that the Small spider would fit. And lo and behold it did! :D


Up close, I kind of messed up on the spiders legs, next time I will make slits so that I can put the legs on easier, it is difficult when the surface is so curved.

I also found a jar that looked about the right size for the Medium spider:



I didn't get a long enough surface, with either the pumpkin nor the clear glass jar, to keep the letters right above the spider. Instead I cut out the spider, put him on, and then cut out each letter, and put them on. I kind of like it this way better anyway. (for an example see previous post, and click on the flyer.)

If you are interested in the pumpkin, I bought 3 today, and will sell them to anyone who asks. However, I will not ship them for fear of breakage, unless paid to do so.

I will also put on the spider Decor Element on for you if desired, but will have to charge for this as well. :D

OH! And I want to add some ribbon to the glass jar, and perhaps a tag, but that will have to wait until the next shipment arrives at my door! :D

Decor Elements!!

Okay, so if you aren't familiar with Stampin' Up! products, already, you might think that the company only sells rubber stamps, paper, ink and accessories. (I admit, before I joined, I thought that was all that Stampin' Up! produced.) However, this is not the case! Stampin' Up! also makes great home decor products! I'll post a link to the brochure that will be a permanent part of this blog, along with the catalog.

Today, Demonstrators were able to preview (and preorder some of) the upcoming Decor Elements that won't be available until October 1st. Let me tell you that I am very very very excited for them!!! :D There are several Christmas ones, including Santa in his sleigh, a Christmas countdown, and some Seasonal sayings. I LOVE THEM!! :D They are offered in new colors as well. And OH! there are some classroom designs, and some designs for a nursery! :D

A little information on these Decor Elements: basically they are vinyl wall stickers. They are removable on most surfaces. Paint cannot be fresh, it must be dried for at least a week I think before they should be applied. They are easy to apply, just as easy to remove, for apartment dwellers, or people who like to change things up a bit. However, I feel that if you are going to invest in them, you might want them to stay with you. So they can be applied to other items like glass jars, bowls, decorative boxes, plates etc. I applied one of the Manhattan Flowers on the wall in my living room above the entryway into the kitchen, and I put the other two Manhattan Flowers on a cupboard that will move with us when we do move. (The greatest part of all is that the Decor Elements jive well with the other products, so you can make a small paper decoration with stamps and Designer Series paper, and it coordinates with the Decor Elements! My Manhattan Flowers are Chocolate Chip, which is on of the Earth Element colors.) Enjoy! :D And look forward to October!! :D
