Mummy Halloween

Your Halloween cards can be fun and happy
or creepy and scary.
Today’s card has some creepy to it but the Pumpkin Pie colors
bring it back into a happier feel.
I used the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set,
Ghoulish Grunge stamp set and Timeless Textures stamp set
to give all the different dimensions to this card.

Sending Comfort with Paisleys

Here’s a wonderful non-fall card using the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and the Petals & Paisleys designer paper.  The Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum color combination along with the doily give this card a soft, caring feel.  I also added a Copper Foil banner.

I love how everything turns out unique with so many different options using the Paisleys & Posies stamp set, Petal & Paisleys designer paper, Pretty Paisleys embossing folder and the coordinating Paisleys Framelits.
