Spooky, Spookey

It's almost October and that means it's almost Halloween.
I love Halloween colors, making treat holders and fun home decorations.
This card is perfect to send to one of my grandchildren.
Halloween Branches SwapThe card base is Tangelo Twist with a layer of Whisper White.
The Basic Black cardstock was embossed with the Wonderland embossing folder
and then sponged very lightly with Whisper White Craft ink.
The eyes are from Among the Branches stamp set — they were stamped with Whisper White Craft ink (don't forget to stamp off so you stamp it very lightly.)
Add a couple of banners cut from the Happy Haunting Designer Paper.
Spooky is stamped with Memento ink and punched out with the 2" Circle Punch.
Layer this on a 2 1/2" Tangelo Twist circle.
Last we added little bats that were punched from the Black Glimmer cardstock using multiple punches.

It’s a Winter Wonderland

Wonderland is an amazing stamp set.
It is so serene, calm and peaceful.
I started my Christmas card series classes last night.
I know it seems early but if we spread it out and make a few at a time
it doesn't seem quite so bad.
We will get together three months in a row and each month we make
4 different designs and 2 of each design — 8 cards total.
That means they'll have 24 cards ready to mail out by the end of November.
Winter Wonderland
The base of this card is Soft Suede.
I added a layer of Very Vanilla and a piece of the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum — this stuff is so cool — use adhesive lightly as it can show through.  I placed a glue dot behind a couple of the snowflakes along the edges.  Then I used an Oval Framelit to cut the center out. 

On a second piece of Very Vanilla I stamped the trees from Wonderland in Soft Suede ink.  I added the snowflake vellum piece to the trees with dimensionals.
Stamp the banner piece — I used the bone folder to give it a bit of a wave.
Adhere the banner with dimensionals — add an Iced Rhinestone to both end.

Autumn Birthday Wishes

Yesterday was the first day of fall, so I thought this card was a perfect
way to welcome the season.
Autumn WishesThe card base is Cajun Craze with a layer of Tip Top Taupe that was embossed
with the Woodlands embossing folder.  After embossing we lightly sponged
the raised trees with Tip Top Taupe ink.
Next we stamped leaves randomly from the tree branches.
We added a banner cut from the Burlap Ribbon and adhered to the front.
Tie a small bow from Linen Thread and add one of the Into the Woods Elements.

I love the autumn colors on this color and I hope you do to.
