Using masking paper to create a side panel that was then ink blended in purple, I then added some clouds with a stencil and black onyx ink and Taylored Expressions Aflutter butterflies and sentiment to complete my clean and simple card design.

It definitely is sweater time in Pennsylvania…..well at least for the next few days that is!! My fall sweaters were made using Taylored Expressions Sweater Weather kit which included layering stencils, sweater die, clear stamps for the sweater trim, dinky decorations dies which are more of a Christmas/winter theme and will be perfect for Ugly Sweater day. Since I couldn’t wait to play I decided on fall leaves and TE’s Fall Garden Variety dies. The Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder reminded me of a sweater. Sentiment was a TE add on to the kit.

I opted for a fun Halloween for one of the younger grandkids instead of monsters but I’m thinking they would have preferred a “monster” card. LOL.

I have had so much fun making Halloween after coming across the Whimsy Stamps collection. My warlock is from Whimsy Stamps Quick Card fronts Lil Warlocks paper pack and that striped patterned paper was in my stash. I may have been a SSS from a kit a few years ago. The Hero Arts Leaves & Vines fancy die frame was die cut from grey cardstock with a little black ink blending. A sentiment strip layered with a little colored backing completes this card.

An anniversary card for our son and daughter in law later this week. It’s possible that their leaves are already turning colors so I’m hopeful they will enjoy their card. I ink blended with three different distress oxide inks cut the panel down and then cut it down again as I can never seem to get straight masking! Added another white layer and popped it up on my white note card after using Taylored Expressions Wavy Stitch Stacklets to add some etchings. The leaves are Gina K Designs Skeleton Leaves stamped in versamark and gold heat embossed then die cut. Sentiment is another GKD stamp set Autumn Wishes. Added a little, maybe too much, spatter in golds.

I am wearing pink and supporting the warriors that have battled and put breast cancer in it’s place this month. I will be participating in a Women’s 5K walk/run on Saturday with a dear friend who will be 3 years cancer free this November. No running for this girl but definitely walking with a “Joy-ful” heart. My card today uses Unity Stamps Elegance of Hope stamp set, Gina K Designs Fight Like a Girl sentiment and patterned paper. I’ll be sending this to my friend in November to celebrate the date she rang the bell!
The challenge with Double D Challenges: To Spook or Not either Halloween or October Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink) is where I’ll be sharing today’s card.

I think I’m getting my ghost on with this card! The ghostly background was made using Taylored Expressions G-G-G-Ghost stamp and stencil set. Stamped this background in black versafine ink and added their faces with the coordinating stencil. My first attempt was stamped in white pigment ink on black cardstock it seemed backwards to my eyes. I do think I’ll save that panel anyway. The keyhole and keys die set are Whimsy Stamps and a Gina K Designs sentiment from Haunts and Harvest and the Hello from a strip sentiment set. The 3 additional ghosts off set with a bit of color cardstock are also TE’s Ghost Gang stamp and die set.
