Go Bills!

Yes, this is a card making blog for Buffalo Stamps and Stuff and not for the Buffalo Bills, but certain things take precedent. The Bills first game of the season is one of them. That they won is another. So, let's Go Bills!

On to card making and new product. Sharon started her Wednesday night video featuring Halloween stencils from Waffle Flower. I love her color combos.

Sharon added more details and texture with these fun ghost dies from Waffle Flower.
And this great textured background.
Sharon also incorporated this background created with an All &Create die set. 
This is the set. It includes a total of 13 dies and Sharon will be using these circle dies.




I love, love, love this different color combo.


The final version.
The pink version.

On to Saturday. Sharon featured many of the same dies as she did on Wednesday but we're starting with some new product. First up is this Folio album kit. you get the base and all you have to do is add your papers, ephemera, theme, and photos.
They also have this Double Z card kit. I believe you get three in a package. They've done all the cutting and measuring for you. Just add your papers, stamps, and dies.

Hero Arts has a new release of inks called Reactive Glitz Inks. We carry all of the colors and although it's hard to see, these all have a bit of shimmery glitz to them and they react when spritzed with water.

These are from the makers of Wink of Stella and are called Winkles. Like Wink of Stella, these all have a touch of shimmer to them on top of the color you see on the center band.
As with a Wink of Stella brush, when you open the package and take off the cap, remove the yellow band and toss it. Gently pump the pen above the tip until you start to see the color flow. You only need to do this once to get the ink to flow into the tip. Another bonus of these brushes is that when you run out of ink, you can clean out the pen and the brush and fill the well with water and use as a water brush, or if you're unsure about taking the pen apart you can use the brush tip for your watercoloring.
Two new dies from IO. With the solid pumpkin you can use it as a pumpkin or change it to a Jack 'O Lantern by adding the cut out faces. The 'Give Thanks' is perfect for your Thanksgiving cards.
Next up is Honey Bee's Lovely Layers. They have several different die sets and the reverse of the packaging show you how to assemble all the layers. This first set creates Fall and Halloween signs. Lots of creativity and options for customization here. 

It was difficult to be able to get a good picture of all the sayings on the next few sets of stamps. The font while really nice is a bit to delicate in combination with the glare for me to get a clear image. These next stamp sets all have Fall/Thanksgiving sayings.


Back to Lovely Layers from Honey Bee.

I love this 'batty' set!


Lots of options for details with this set.


Next up is an embossing folder with a die set.

Honey Bee bling in gem and pearl form and colors.
I love this web embossing folder, very spooky.
We featured Doodlebug last week and we have a few more items for you. Great Halloween die set and the gumball machine can be used all year round.
Die cuts from Doodlebug.

Pretty Pink Posh's cupcake for Halloween.
I love this background plate that has all these spooky eyes. Looks great in black on a yellow background.
Back where we started with Waffle Flower stamp sets to go with your stencil sets and those cute ghosts.




We have these tonic scallop and straight edge dies in bundled packages. These are a great value and they nest perfectly together.
PhotoPlay's 'fa la la' with a shadow.
More from PhotoPlay, 'jolly'.
This may be the year of the nutcracker. Several companies have them.
Stems, leaves, berries and bows.
This is a card kit. You get all the ingredients to make 8+ cards.
Dies from Studio Light.


PhotoPlay's Nativity dies.
Enamel Dots 
Silhouette cover die.
From 49 & Market two styles of rub-on alphabets, Mister and Swooshy.



Aall & Create has two new Washi tapes that are their layered design,.

They also have several styles of die cuts and coordinate papers. You get so much in these packages and many of the styles are perfect for masculine cards.






I believe this is part of the kit you get with the next Maker Mania event. We have a few kits left if you are interested.

That's it for this week. Here's my funny for the week. This is a constant refrain in our house. We are constantly telling Cooper to let us know if we're getting in his way. 
I'm loving the cooler weather. I think I was made for Buffalo. I hope you all have a fun, crafty week and above all Stay Safe everyone. P.S.- Go Bills!
