My card today is for the Mod Squad Challenge to include a moon on your project. My moon is from the My Hero Arts August 2017 kit and the sentiment is from GKD’s Oh Boy! illustrated by Tami Mayberry. Some Pixie Powder was used to create my night sky and the moon image, clouds and stars were all stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed.
Halloween cards finished except for the inside greeting and addressing the envelopes. It’s been fun creating these without time restraints. Retirement is a wonderful thing!
Enjoy — BOO!!
My ABC’s in life are our three grandchildren Alexandra, Brooke and Chase. Today’s cards are for these three “just because”. Alexandra’s card is the Farm Fun using SU’s Very Punny stamp set, Brooke’s card is the Llama card from Sizzix which included a stamp set and dies and Chase is receiving the Tim Holtz SSS Stamptember halloween set. He’s 9 years old this month and will appreciate the character and inside message of “candy made me do it”. Brooke and I sing ‘fa la la la la la la llama’ whenever we see a llama and Alexandra is our 22 month old that is still not sure what she thinks of her Gigi since we only see her monthly. We did have fun at the Apple Orchard and she loved the farm animals.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!!
This card will be entered into the Gina K Designs Monthly Mix Challenge for October to have repeating sentiments. Try as I may, with the use of a misti and without the use of a misti, my sentiments just would not line up in straight lines. So instead of giving up and moving on, I remembered an older GKD stamp set by Debbie Let’s Talk. I used all of the speech bubbles and stamped the sentiment “thinking of you” from the same stamp set. I then proceeded to fill in the background with stamps from the Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set. Still not satisfied, I wanted to add a fall animal but found this tree from Friends Til The End stamp set. Added a bow, some glitter for sparkle, all GKD cardstock and inks.
The main image is stamped on kraft which is out of my comfort zone. Do you think less is more and I should have stopped a few steps ago??

….I didn’t say boo! Orange and white is the challenge that Double D Challenges has issued for this week. I didn’t think I could do Halloween without black but my card features a ghostly white haunted house from SimonSaysStamps “creepy cute” stamp set and a ghostly border of Gina K’s Wicked stamp set illustrated by Beth Silaika. I added a layered “boo” die cut from SSS as well as a glittery trick or treater die cut.
The Double D Challenges: Orange and White…that’s it can be seen http://daranddiane.blogspot.com/
And since I was on an orange an white theme, the inside of my card continued with the theme.
Card stock was GKD’s coral reef; inside was patterned paper that I then sponged coral reef onto it since the color was off a bit, added another “boo” and trick or treater. The haunted house was inked with versamark ink and heat embossed with fine detail white embossing powder and colored in with a Stampin Up white colored pencil. The ghosts were all stamped in versamark and heat embossed with fine detail embossing powder.

BOO!!
Today’s card will be entered into the ModSquadChallenge to use something from nature on your card. My nature items are rose petal butterflies. I glued some rose petals to a piece of cardstock, punched them out using two different Martha Stewart punches. The stamp set used on the card is Gina K Designs’ Rose Bouquet which was stamped in versamark ink and emboss set with gold embossing powder. I added a layer of gold embossing and a swiss dot embossing folder layer before finally mounting on to a card base. I wanted to focus the color on my rose petal butterflies.
I did have to redo my butterflies since they shrunk a little in the places that no glue was adhered. Somewhere in my stash I should have some of that Stick It paper…I’ll have to search.

So yesterday I eagerly awaited my delivery from SimonSaysStamps with the Halloween STAMPtember kit purchase plus another goodie. Imagine my surprise when my order came in a box. Immediately my brain went into overdrive thinking that this included a Golden Bone from SSS for their STAMPtember release giveaway promotion. Wow….a year’s worth of some free SSS release goodies….so I carefully opened the box and to my surprise….NO Golden Bone. Oh well, it could have been me and one day we’ll win the lottery too.
Not to be discouraged I created this card which is kind of super cute and will probably be for my granddaughter Brooke. Adding a little bit of sparkle mesh over the witchy skirt and a sentiment on top to me completed the legs only image 🙂 I’ve been using the Wild Orchid cardstock from GKD which was an in-color a few years ago for most of this year’s cards. Since I’m down to my last two pieces of cardstock, I’m happy that I am almost finished with my Halloween 2019 cards.
Thanks for looking.
My card today is for the Double D Challenge to Focus on the Sentiment. Still creating Halloween and pulled out the Inkadinkadoo Trick or Treat stamp set again which had the largest sentiment in my collection. I stamped it in GKD’s white pigment ink which is not really a stark white but hopefully has a more spooky affect to it. Our buddy, Johanna, gifted me some die cut frames and have finally been able to put them to good use. I was hoping for a little abstract affect to go along with my spooky sentiment :).
I didn’t want to cut off any of the frames so I mounted this on a 5×7 card, covering another layer of card stock with my sparkle mesh Dollar Store find.
