Taylored Expressions’ in person Stamp Joy event also has a Staycation option which is on line classes. I have optioned to do the at home on line classes but have joined in on the cardswap which I’m required to make 10 cards and mail before our event. Since this is a Taylored Expressions event all my products are TE and they include: Time to Grow stamp, stencil and foil it panel from the Combo Club subscription. After foiling the Foil-It panel in Pewter foil, my inks included a variety of fall-ish colors, the completed panel was die cut using All Planned Out 3 die set which included the sentiment and the button. I included a ribbon die cut over the button. The foiled panel was layered on Honey cardstock and the bottom portion is white woodgrain. I made several different cards for my swap but I did really like this one and will share with you and:

It’s a Halloween Two-fer or as my title lists a “Boo-fer”. My top card uses Whimsy Stamps Dreamland 2 quick card fronts patterned paper. Whimsy’s Curly Frame die was used to cut the image which was mounted and adhered to my distress oxide ink blended card front. I’m glad that I did not detach the die pieces because it also cuts a frame which was then cut from black shimmer cardstock for this card. Hope this makes sense. Sentiment was included in the paper pack. I couldn’t seem to stop there so I ink blended another card front with distress oxide inks…..gosh I need to pull these out a bit more as I was so happy with the blending. Anyway, I took the outer portion of the die cut from card 1 and adhered that to my blended note card with a Boo sentiment from that curly frame set and ghosts from a Whimsy Boo die set. I actually made one more card using the frame from this curly frame die but will be saving that one for the Word Power challenge possibly. Fun patterned paper pack fro some fun Halloween cards.

Since I couldn’t decide which card to enter, I’m sharing both with:

My favorite patterned papers come from Whimsy Stamps and especially their card front panels. My card today uses Coral Reef patterned paper card front from Whimsy Stamps and their Bubbly A2 die. The center portion of this die was popped up with foam tape. I added a sentiment that was included with the patterned paper pack and this this card is complete. When you have these awesome papers it’s almost too easy to make a fun card.

I don’t have a lot of musical stamps although I did remember this unmounted red rubber jukebox that has been in my stash forever and a day! Google Lens identified the stamp as a jukebox cookie cutter! Close but I knew it was a stamp and maybe from Gina K Designs back from StampTV days as a freebie. The checked patterened paper was gifted to me by a stamp buddy and I added two strips of red cardstock. Sentiment is Taylored Expressions and notes and stars are another “yikes” I cannot remember clear stamp set…..maybe Fiskars…cute clear stamp images for different occasions that was so old I could hardly peel off the stamp from the plastic. After begin stuck for a sentiment I thought the one used could be a twist on the music theme! My card will be shared with:
