Hey, Pumpkin

A CAS card today with a pumpkin theme which was achieved by using Gina K’s Harvest Flourish stencil and pumpkin trio from Haunts to Harvest stamp set. Sentiment was stamped from SSS Happy Haunting stamp set. A pretty simple card today but I kind of like the way it turned out.

My card today will be shared with:

Fly By!

My card today was made with traditional Halloween colors in mind. The patterned paper is from Whimsy Stamps Haunted paper pack and my flying-by witch is a good old Inkadinkadoo stamp set. Sentiment is a SSS sentiment strip and tree was die cut from a Tim Holtz set (I think).

Tea Time

Taking time before the excitement and trick or treaters arrive the sister witches decided to have some “tea” and get ready for a busy night! For my card today, I decided on Great Impressions Witches Brew red rubber. After inking and stamping in black ink, I cut a mask of the witches, positioned the Tim Holtz layering moon mask in place and began my background ink by blending Distress Oxide Inks in wilted violet, black soot and twisted citron. I wish I would have kept the stamp in my misti to reink the image after completing the background. A bit of water splatter and some black soot. I added the detailed stencil of the moon and used yellow and orange inks that were on my dauber. Sentiment, bats and spider are SSS Spook up some fun stamp set and cut a frame using Taylored Expressions Squiggly Stacklets.

My card will be shared with Double D Challenges with a theme of the Trick or Treat Smell my Feet song. My treat today is “tea” and maybe a bat or two.

Uni-EEK

I’m still loving Whimsy Stamps and their Halloween products. This card Misfits card fronts and Chunky Checkers die set. I sponged white clouds with pigment ink on the black note card then covered it up with the focal image…..LoL. After adding paper spider web paper doily sections and three Tim Holtz spider dies and sentiment from the card front set, I can call this one complete and am loving it too.

Writing Book

Hello and welcome. Time again for d-o-s chuckle card. As usual sentiment “I’m writing a book about all the things I should be doing. It’s called my oughtobigrophy.” and image were found online. I thought a slim line card would work best with this image. These monthly chuckles are so fun to come with.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Simple Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Thought I’d take a break from Halloween and work on Thanksgiving cards.

Background paper is from Echo Park, die cuts are Spellbinders Labels 4. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program with computer clip art leaves added. Labels are popped up. This is one of the easiest cards I’ve ever made but that’s o.k.

Trick Or Treat

Hello and welcome. Oh, how I love making Halloween cards. Pp was found online, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. It really doesn’t show but I added black Wink of Stella to the letters hoping for a little shine. Images are from the Silhouette. Buttons were run through a striped ef and I scored a few lines on the pumpkin for a little texture. When I practice cut the images to get the size right, I used dark green cs because my black supply is getting low, but the size was right and the dark green actually looks good.

Debossed Brown-Out

My leafy card today uses the debossed embossing blackout technique however I actually used a brown (TE Hot Fudge) ink instead of black. A variety of TE’s reds, yellow, orange and a bit of blue inks were used on my debossed panel of TE’s Lovely Leaves embossing folder which was part of the Combo Club I participate in receiving. I decided to make a gatefold card with a bellyband that was stamped with TE’s Check In background stamp and then die cut a number of leaves from Garden Variety-Fall dies using the same colors as the debossed panels as well as a few cut in honey cardstock with the edges swiped with hot fudge ink arranging them on a hexagon die cut. This card is one I made for a cardswap for the upcoming Taylored Expressions Virtual StampJoy Stay-cation event so all my products were Taylored Expressions.

Blue And Yellow Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest granddaughter, the last year of her 30’s…. YIKES!!

Recently I made a card with this layout, and the recipient liked it so much I decided to make another one. Pp was found online, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program and gems are from my stash. For a more finished look I like edging the pp with a marker matching the cs. Hubby likes this one so I guess it’s ok.
