The Last TERRIFYING TUESDAY!

Can anyone believe this is our last Terrifying Tuesday?! Let alone the last week in STAMPtember?! What a fast and fun month! I've so enjoyed sharing these spooky creations with you guys every week! Make sure you continue to check out our STAMPtember Category on Simon Says Stamp's website and pick up all the deals you can before it's too late!

Before I continue, I'm excited to share with you the winner from yesterday's Simon Says Stamp and Show's Men Only blog candy! The winner is Larissa Heskett from McCook, Nebraska! Please email Fran@SimonSaysStamp with your shipping info!

For our very last Terrifying Tuesday, we're going out with a bang! Today I'm going to share with you an adorably spooky Tri-Fold card from Hero Arts and their Design Team member Lisa Spangler!

Lisa even went so far as to share a video in her post too! We are going to share it with you guys too because she does an awesome job, and everyone should get the chance to make this cute card!

A big star in this card is the Hero Arts - Sizzix Message Frames Stamps & Die Cuts! How awesome is this that you can use the stamp and color it the way you want AND THEN easily cut it out with the matching die cut! We have so many of the new Hero Arts - Sizzix Die Cuts & Stamps and embossing folders!

And because it is STAMPtember, I have to point out how cute the cat is from Hero Art's Halloween Moon Cling Stamp Set with the googly eyes!

For more information on the products used, check out Hero Arts's post about it and enjoy the video posted above! Thanks for the inspiration Hero Arts and Lisa!

Now it's my turn to give out some blog candy! Just join our blog following and comment telling me your most exciting upcoming event in October and you could win this Hero Arts Stamp set!

TERRIFYING TUESDAYS: Getting Spooky with May Flaum!

Welcome to the TERRIFYING TUESDAY weekly blog post! Last time I had so much fun with you guys and the SCARY ideas- I'm excited to share another SPOOKY project! First though, let's talk BLOG CANDY!!

The winner from yesterday's post: Simon Says STAMPtember Stamp & Show Challenge is Cindy-Up In Northern Michigan! Please email Fran@SimonSaysStamp.com to claim your prize!!

Can you believe STAMPtember is close to half way over?! It seems like the fun just started! Make sure you keep checking back to Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember category for all of our SCARILY low priced products!

For today's TERRIFYING post, we're going to show bits and pieces from a project from a FANTASTIC designer, May Flaum! She had a recent blog post about how to make this eerie, inspirational, and mood-setting Spooky Configuration! Now, we're going to tease you with FRIGHTENING and MYSTERIOUS peaks on this project.. for the complete look please check out May's blog! You'll love her words and images of all her impressive projects.

Isn't this a great party prop?! It probably will bring as much shock and awe to your guests as it will be fun to put together! What a conversation piece it could be on a shelf or table surrounded by other Halloween decorations!

This video will help you see the beginning steps of this project, and how May drew her inspiration! This is only Part 1 of 2.. to see the end video and the finished project in all of its HAIR-RAISING glory check out May's post!

To make this project at home, we at Simon Says Stamp have the essentials ready to go for you!

The Tim Holtz Hobgoblin Tissue Tape had a big starring role in this project! Once you look carefully, you can see the webs, font, and labels all over!

This Tim Holtz Idea-ology Seasonal Salvage Stickers also have a supporting role, and can be used for the next upcoming holidays as well!

The GUTS of this project! These Configuration Boxes can be used in so many different ways!

Ooohh this color screams Halloween and Autumn!! This Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink Stain is perfect in this project!

And, of course, since it's STAMPtember, we must recommend some coordinating stamps as well... :)

I LOVE the X-Ray Tim Holtz Cling ATC Stamp and the Anthology Tim Holtz Cling Stamp Set! Not only do they match the patterns for this project, but they add that touch of SCARE for anything!

For more products used, be sure to see May's post and see what she loved using! I know this inspired all of us at Simon, so I'm sure this SPOOKY Configuration project sparked the creative ideas flowing in you too!

Now it's time for more BLOG CANDY talk!
To win this Hero Arts Stamp Set:

Just be sure to join our blog following and comment letting me know what this project inspired you to do!

Thanks for reading today! And until next time.. STAY SPOOKY!

TERRIFYING TUESDAYS: Some FANCY Oct 31 ideas!

Welcome to Simon Says Stamp's FIRST TERRIFYING TUESDAY blog post!! Each Tuesday of this month we will be featuring the SPOOKIEST, SCARIEST, and most likely CUTEST Halloween themes! Make sure you check out our STAMPtember section on our Simon Says Stamp website too for some frighteningly LOW PRICED products!

To start out this EERIE tradition, I'd like to share with you some scrapbook page inspirations from the awesome Fancy Pants blog on their product line Oct 31! Just the name Oct 31 fits perfectly for Autumn and Halloween projects!

I love this theme by one of their designers, Leah Farqharson. Her inspiration was how their family always goes to pick pumpkins and spend quality time carving them! The Oct 31 Design Embellishments kit would be great to add on a paper like this, accenting all the fun memories!

This design by Guiseppa Gubler is so cute! I would love receiving this layout in the mail, or opening it as the title page of a special scrapbook! The green flourish and "boo" are including in the Oct 31 Halloween Chipboard Pieces set! To use that background page and more- check out our Oct 31 6x6 Paper Pad (it's 10% off for our STAMPtember specials...limited time sale!!)

I think this page perfectly showcases that adorable picture! Some stamps that would accent it well are Bo Bunny's Mr. Bones Clear Stamps and the cute Doodle Bat from Hero Arts! A special tip Suzzane Sergi gives on this page of her's was to use the Oct 31 Filter Paper Embellishment. You can see it in the middle, right hand side. It's the thin, black and gray diamond patterned circle.

These Filter Paper Embellishments feel like coffee filters almost, but can do so much more! You can use them to make flowers, add textural touches on pages like the above page, and it holds up for inks and glues to add vintage flair! The packs contain 9 different filters with different sizes so there's plenty of room for SPINE-CHILLING experimenting!

Just to show you ONE more fun product- I love these fabulous and haunting Oct 31 Glitter Cuts! I think the hats across the bottom would make a fun, MYSTERIOUS addition on a card!

Thanks so much for reading along on our first TERRIFYING TUESDAY blog post! To make this post even more TERRIFYINGLY EXCITING..

how about some blog candy?!
