Essentials Sneak Peek and Blog Candy

Good Sunday morning.  I don’t have a project to share with you today but I thought I would give you a sneak peek at the project I am presenting in the CLASSroom on Wednesday using soon to release Essentials by Ellen dies.  Can’t wait for you to see all the wonderful new dies and stamp sets Julie has designed. 

sneak peek 

So while I was here showing off the sneak peek I thought I would offer up some fun Halloween blog Candy.  All you have to do to qualify is leave a comment here on this post telling me  your favorite Essentials by Ellen stamp or die set.  I’ll look forward to hearing from you by Tuesday, October 20 by 5:00 pm.  I’ll announce the winner on my Wednesday post.

The blog candy consists of Memory Box Sweeping Bats, Dangling Spider, Creepy Web, Ghost Trio, and Graveyard Landscape.  I think of some of these dies may have retired.

Halloween Blog Candy

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

  2. Can’t wait to see the full picture. I love the zipper set where you can enclose something and the recipient has to peel it open. And it comes with three word dies. It’s very versatile.

    I really love the cabin in the woods that you did. Being a Canadian we see lots of snow in our part of the country.
    I am a big Halloween fan and love to have those die to make a Halloween for my aunt who is in a nursing home.
    Love to win the dies.
    Hope I am lucky

  30. Hi Kittie – I am hooked on the zipper die- children get such a kick out of that when I make their card! I wish it were Wednesday already 🙂

    Reply
  31. “MISTLETOE & HOLLY” set is my favorite of the stamps, and is it possible that the gorgeous (and alluring) sneak peek above, is the die set that accompanies the stamps? I’m loving whatever you have coated the white berries with – perhaps white embossing powder? I’ll need to tune in on Wednesday, huh?

  38. I, like the other ladies, have many favorites. But i find myself pulling the Bohemian Garden stamps and dies a lot lately. Your sneak peak looks to be a poinsettia from the Holiday 2015 release. Am I right? I love the openness of this flower.

  39. Wild Garden is my current favorite, but with the Holiday release coming, it looks like I’ll have another favorite, and another and another…..
