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.
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.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Only one favourite? How 'bout what you're teasing us with lol? I like the Mondo Magnolia stamp and die and the Wish Big set... then I like... everything. Can't wait to see the rest of that reveal!

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'm really looking forward to the new release of dies and stamps from Essentials by Ellen. It is hard to choose my favorite set, but I think I will say, Wild Blooms dies. They can be used for everything!!

Wow!!!! So many to choose from, but with the Holiday Season upon us, and the fact that here, we woke to the first snowfall of the season, I have to choose the " Mistletoe and Holly" stamp set and the matching die set . Yummy!!!

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

Mondo Magnolia is lovely. But so are all the others! Thanks for the chance at the gorgeous dies.
Posted by: Tammy P. | October 18, 2015 at 02:49 PM
I love, love, love the Home and Hearth die set. I think it can be used for all seasons and is so darling and sweet. But almost equally is the Bold Blooms stand alone. Love what the dies you are offering as our No Trick Treat. I love the graveyard landscape one and the others too!
Posted by: kReN kurts | October 18, 2015 at 03:04 PM

Posted by: Rachel B. | October 18, 2015 at 05:16 PM
Mondo Magnolia and dies are so easy to use and versatile...but mind you...it's hard to pick just one!
Posted by: Kris | October 18, 2015 at 05:34 PM
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 :)
Posted by: Janet | October 18, 2015 at 05:46 PM
"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?
Posted by: Marcie Rhys | October 18, 2015 at 06:02 PM
Thank you for candy offering love your blog and my favorite is Mondo poinsetta especially beautiful for xmas and then change color scheme for a lovely floral versatility!
Posted by: Ina Good | October 18, 2015 at 06:05 PM
"Wild Garden" are essential to me because they are so versatile!
Posted by: Rosa M. Vasquez | October 18, 2015 at 06:11 PM
My favorite new Essentials by Ellen is the Zipper Panel die set. A cool zipper panel creator and 3 word dies included. I can't resist word dies these days! :)
Posted by: Suzy Que | October 18, 2015 at 06:18 PM
misletoe & holly for starters, but anything Ellen will do!! thank you for a chance to win!
Posted by: Sue Mac Donald | October 18, 2015 at 06:52 PM

Posted by: cathy d | October 18, 2015 at 07:02 PM
Currently my favorite is the Bold Blossom die set--my only EH product, unfortunately! I don't have any Halloween dies, so thanks for a chance to win these!
Posted by: Greta H | October 18, 2015 at 07:03 PM
I'm a big fan of the Mondo stamps. Go big or go home! LOL
Posted by: Cynthia Clark | October 18, 2015 at 07:16 PM
I LOVE the wild bloom dies! Thanks for a chance to win the awesome dies!
Posted by: laurie | October 18, 2015 at 09:08 PM
The Wild Garden dies are just gorgeous. Can't wait to see your project. You just amaze me with what you can do with dies. Thanks for the chance.
Posted by: Donna Rinckel | October 18, 2015 at 09:33 PM
I think Wild Garden is so useful for cards and scrapbook pages. Love them!
Posted by: Donna Sue | October 18, 2015 at 09:47 PM
Can't wait to see what you create Wednesday. I love everything you make. To choose one? Impossible! But anything floral that Ellen has I love!
Posted by: Carol H. | October 18, 2015 at 09:51 PM
Can't wait to see what beautiful creation you have to show on Wednesday. Hard to choose just one, but I love the "zipper panel". I am able to conceal a gift card and then embellish the panel.
Posted by: Sue McW | October 18, 2015 at 10:32 PM
I really like the Christmas Scribbles set, but there are so many great ones from which to choose!! Love your cards, Kitty. They're like works of art!
Posted by: Janet L. | October 18, 2015 at 11:03 PM
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.
Posted by: Diane Lynne Clemen | October 18, 2015 at 11:37 PM
Wild Garden is my current favorite, but with the Holiday release coming, it looks like I'll have another favorite, and another and another.....
PS Happy Birthday to me today. I'm 23, and a student studing radiology at Bloomsburg University.

Posted by: CJ Ray | October 19, 2015 at 02:46 AM
There are so many nice stamps and dies from Ellen, but since I really love deer, I would now say: the deer head die is my favorite. Thank you so much for the great candy game.

Posted by: MyRubyRose | October 19, 2015 at 07:36 AM
Love your scenes - you make it look so easy!
Hard to pick only one Essential favorite,
but Mondo Magnolia is at the top of my list.
Posted by: Kay | October 19, 2015 at 07:49 AM
I think my favorite, which I have, that is so incredibly versatile is the Bokeh Dots by Julie Ebersole!! There are many, many more that I would love to have though :/
Posted by: PJ | October 19, 2015 at 08:36 AM
I love all the word dies. Right now my favorite is merry and bright. Into the holiday season.

Posted by: Jan D. Florida, USA | October 20, 2015 at 08:04 AM
Certainly not an easy task-- I would have to say wild garden and Mongo poinsettia. However in all honesty I a big fan of all of them.
Enjoy your creations and inspirations thank you
Posted by: Deb | October 20, 2015 at 08:58 AM
I totally love your cards. Right now I am loving anything with fall leaves, gourds, pumpkins, etc, so I would say the new dies from the holiday release with all these lovelies in it. Thanks for the opportunity to win the adorable halloween goodies!!
Posted by: TX JennyWren | October 20, 2015 at 10:58 AM
