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.

Z- Fold open and bottom photo is closed. This Whimsy Stamps Haunted Houses designer paper was perfect to create the scene for this card. Tim Holtz/Sizzix Toil and Trouble Witch & Broom and Bats dies were die cut in black cardstock with a sentiment from a Gina K Designs stamp set and Hero Arts Bats background stamp completes my card today.

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.

This was the perfect time to move on from Halloween! Thanks for checking in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

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.

A card or two ago I saw ghost birds for the focal image and on my debossed background for this card I see octopi creatures instead of ghosts???The embossing folder is a SimonSaysStamp “Cute Ghosts 3D folder which I inked the individual debossed ghosts then swiped with black and brown Distress inks. The bubbling cauldron is a Taylored Expressions die set, and the ghost and sentiment is SSS Friendly Ghosts which was a bit of a challenge to line up and stamp.

Using SimonSaysStamps’ Large Stitched Maple die as a stencil, I lightly sponged ink around the leaf outline, then diecut the leaf one more time from some fabulous pattern paper. Added a SSS die cut sentiment to complete my card.

Double D Challenges: Fall Leaves

Hopefully it will be a very colorful fall this season. So far no real color on our leaves. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.

I was inspired by this image from other card makers a month or so ago and after some research found it was a freebie from Gecko Galz. My image was die cut using Taylored Expressions Arched Stacklets. After die cutting, I made several frames in black shimmer cardstock to frame the image. A piece of marbled carstock jumped out at me which I embossed with SimonSaysStamps Floral Field embossing folder. I swiped ivory pigment ink over the raised florals to make them pop a bit. Gina K Designs Fresh Cut Flowers dies were used for my flower and sentiment strip is also from SSS. I always seem to need a pop of color so added the tiny pink heart to the center of my die cut flower. To me the focal image reminds me of birds more than ghosts so I called them my Ghost Birds.

Triple B September 2024 Challenge

Pretty mood board but somehow Halloween won out for me for this month’s challenge.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.

Not the normal Halloween colors but maybe a little bit more bold in my options with the pinks and purples. My card today uses Whimsy Stamps Drippy Frame Die, BOOkeh designer paper pack, Newton’s Nook Batty Newton stamps and dies. A little ink blending on the drippy die cut from pink cardstock layer on that awesome bokeh background paper with a few bats and clear star gelly roll pen for some sparkle.
