Oh my gosh, Jan has outdone herself with these Wicked Cool Halloween projects using Stampin' Up!'s new Waffle Paper, Spider Web Texture Embossing Folder, Bat Punch and Wicked Cool stamp set.
At our DOstamperSTARS monthly Get-Together she gave us some tips on using the waffle paper and shared at least 4-5 ideas on how to use it! It was awesome - thanks Jan!!
Here are two of the ideas she shared with us. Look at all of the details on both her card and candy holder!
For more information about this card, visit Jan's Spookly Halloween Post
For more details and template for the Treat Tube Holder visit Jan's Treat Tube Post
Again - thanks for sharing Jan!

Everyone's lovin' their Stampin' Up! Product Shares by Dawn! I just mailed out a couple more rounds last week. I continue to receive requests for additional selections, so I just added a 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon share. It only has three spots left...so sign up now!
Also - if you didn't know, on September first I added several more ribbon (3/8" Taffeta, 1/8" Taffeta, Very Vintage) and paper shares from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
Of course - my original 1/2" Poly Stitched In Color Ribbon share will continue indefinitely and is on it's 14th round. Wow...who would have thought! You guys are really loving that ribbon and why not...it's beautiful and surprisingly soft.
Lastly - the original Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog just completed it's 4th round. I'd be happy to do another round if 8 people are interested.
Check out my update Product Share page with share details and ordering instructions!
Enjoy~Dawn O

Are you gonna have a Wicked Cool Halloween? With Stampin' Up!'s Wicked Cool stamp set - you can! I'm not much into Halloween cards, but this stamp set is SO Wicked Cool, I just had to have it!
This was a card from my Big Shot Club Class on Tuesday and it was a BIG HIT!
BIG SHOT SUPPLIES: I used the Clear Circle Die (w/Whisper White cardstock) and NEW Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (on Vellum cardstock) for this card.
Then use a sponge dauber with Basic Gray ink and rub over the vellum hitting the raised areas.
The pumpkin punch art is made with 3 circles from the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. I used the Small Oval Punch to create a space for the witch's hat.
I just had to try out a new ribbon technique demonstrated by Kim Van Diepen at the St. George Founder's Circle Regional event. It was surprisingly easy to do! I feel a video coming on!
Here I added a Black Flourish Designer Jewel (from the Holiday Mini Catalog) to a silver brad - love it!!
