Hoppy Halloween Card

Hello! This year I need to get my Halloween cards mailed earlier than usual due to the postal delays. It hasn't been that bad, but I don't want to risk it. Thankfully I only have a couple more to make and I'll be done. This Hoppy Halloween Card was made using the colors from the Inky Paws Challenge to use Orange, Purple, Yellow and Black. Distress Oxide inks were used to make the inky background. The spooky tree was made from a die cut from Simon Says Stamp and the grass die is by Newton't Nook. Two stamp sets and coordinating dies by Newton's Nook were used. The bunny is from the Hoppy Halloween stamp set and the ghosts are from the Boo Hoo set. Copic markers were used to color the bunny image and the sentiment was heat embossed. That's it! 👻👻👻 

Challenges entered: Cute Card Thursday (Halloween), Double Trouble (Twisted Sister- No Bats), Inky Paws (Colors), My Time To Craft (Halloween or Cats) and The Paper Girls (Halloween).

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Fall Acorn Card - TMS #576

Hello! It's time to start another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this weeks sketch was designed by Melissa Craig. I decided to use the new Big Acorn stamp by Lawn Fawn for this Fall Acorn Card. Five acorns were stamped using Memento black ink, colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating die. Green and brown look good together, so I decided on a green plaid paper by Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is by Impression Obsession and was stamped with Memento black ink. Before adhering to the card base I used Java chalk ink around the edge of the paper and that's it. We would love for you to join us this week! You have until 8 pm EST to link your creation to the challenge. For all the details and design team inspiration click HERE. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Happy Halloween Card

Good day! I have a quick post to share this Happy Halloween Card that I made using the sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. After searching through my Halloween paper pads, I decided to use papers from the Trick or Treat pad by Pebbles (2016). I have two of these paper pads and it's time to use them. The exception is the purple plaid, it's by Lawn Fawn. The Happy Halloween sentiment is by Stampendous! and was stamped using Memento black ink. A little ghost by Newton's Nook was added and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day! 👻

Just Because Card

Good day crafty friends! I'm still seeing several butterflies in my yard, so I decided to make another butterfly card. This Just Because Card features a butterfly from the retired Beautiful Day stamp set by Stampin' Up!. It was colored with Stampin' Blends markers in Mango Melody and then fussy-cut. The patterned paper is from a Halloween paper pad called Midnight Haunting by Pebbles (2017). The just because sentiment was heat embossed and a white embossed panel added for contrast. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

Sketch #575:

Fall Card with Squirrels

 

Hello and happy World Card Making Day! I hope you have time to make a card or two today. My crafty mojo has been pretty low lately, but that hasn't stopped me from buying new stamps and supplies. One of my latest purchases included the new Let's Go Nuts stamp set and Tree Before 'n Afters by Lawn Fawn. Aren't these squirrels super cute? I just adore this stamp set! So, today I decided to make this Fall Card with Squirrels. The images were colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating dies. To make the sky background I used Tumbled Glass distress ink and used the smooshing technique. The grass was cut with a tiny wavy scalloped die by Simon Says Stamp. Once everything was cut out I assembled the scene and adhered it to a piece of patterned paper from the Into The Woods Remix paper pad by Lawn Fawn. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. I'm glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day!
