Halloween is Getting Closer

Do you like "creepy" Halloween?
I'm not big into "creepy" — I usually prefer cute Halloween.
This card has a little bit of both.
Do you see the eyes looking at you?
Halloween Branches SwapThe base of the card is Tangelo Twist with a layer of Whisper White.
The next layer is Basic Black that is embossed with the Woodland Embossing Folder.  After you emboss the cardstock, use a sponge dauber with White Craft Ink to highlight the trees.  Stamp the eyes from Among the Branches with White Craft Ink — stamp off and then stamp the eyes so they are lighter.  With Memento ink, stamp the Spooky circle and punch out with the 2" circle punch, adhere to a Tangelo Twist 2 1/2" circle punch.  Happy Haunting designer paper is used for the banners.

I can't wait to mail this card out — hmmm….who gets it.

Witches Hat “Leftovers”

Did you get a chance to make the Stampin’ Up! Witches Hat Kit?
(Sorry if you didn’t — they are sold out now)
It was fabulous — I showed you my completed hat a couple weeks ago.
There were so many leftover pieces once the hat was completed.
I used some of the leftovers and created some cards.
Trick or TreatFor this card the coordinating Witches Night stamp set was used to stamp on one of the tags.  Then it was stamped again on Tangelo Twist cardstock and trimmed to fit on the tag.  “TREAT” was stamped again and cut out and added to the tag with small pieces of dimensionals.  The bird was stamped on Whisper White and yes, cut out and adhered with dimensionals.  The “31” circle is a leftover piece that was adhered to the label with a dimensional.  Don’t forget to add some of the black rhinestone pieces to the corners of the tag.  Little banners are punched from Tangelo Twist cardstock.
One of the black and orange striped banner tags was added inside an envelope for a liner — so cute.  What a great card made from leftovers.

Thanks — Giving

I've been working on Christmas cards — I know it's early but you do have to start working on them early so they are ready to be mailed out, right.
So today I thought I would share a Thanksgiving card instead.
This card features the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set.
I think I like the sayings in this stamp set as much as the images.
Tina 4Let Our Lives Be Full of Both THANKS and GIVING. 
Isn't that just perfect.
I love the colors on the leaf.  This card was designed by my sister, Tina, for a demo event we held last month.  She stamped the leaf with Memento ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then used markers to color it in — it is so beautiful.  Use the coordinating Leaflet Framelit to cut it out.  She used the Into the Woods ribbon for the banners.

Thank you Tina for such a lovely card.
