The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Holiday Tag"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Nature's Brushstrokes"
Today is Technique Challenge day on my Blog. I love making Halloween cards, and today's set has lots of fun Halloween images. My first card, which is also for the CCEE Stampers challenge to use Fun Folds, was made using a technique I found on one of the Technique Junkies Newsletter CDs. It's called an Inside Out Card.
And here's where the "inside out" part comes in.
I also made an Inside Out Card using the extra set for this month, which is called Holiday Tag. It contains images for Christmas (Santa, Candy Cane, and Gingerbread Man), as well as a tag on which they will fit and several appropriate sentiments. I used the cute gingerbread man on my card along with some coordinating patterned paper I've had for several years. (Gotta use up that old stuff to make room for new stuff!)
Here's the inside. The "Merry Christmas" is actually from another MFP, aHC set called You Are an Angel.

Oh my goodness! I LOVE you halloween card and the technique you used! I have never seen that before, so I will have to try it out soon!
These are terrific looking cards, Lois!
Great cards - love the fold you have used - it is a new one to me!
That's one fun looking fold, Lois! New to me, too.
I do just wish that when we made fancy folds we didn't have to layer the DP on, but I know all too well that if you stick it to the base then it won't crease and fold properly. That's one cute gingerbread man, too.
Lois,
You are definitely the Queen of fun folds. The Halloween card is very cute and the Christmas card is really lovely!
Great cards Love the inside fold.....Lis

Love this! The fold is wonderful and I really love the placement of the tag inside on your second card.
What a fun fold. It kinda reminded me of the tri-shutterfold but with a solid outside.
Wow these are all amazing. You picked out some fun papers.
