Happy Halloween

Boo

Hello - I am thrilled to be asked to design a few cards for Gerda Steiner Designs. I'm delighted to introduce you to a new die that will be available over at Gerda Steiner Designs soon.  I did something a little bit different with it and inlaid it after embossing the card front with several of the die cuts.  The designer paper is from Die Cuts With a View.

Here it is up close - I cut out a few and used them to emboss the card front. 

The set does come with a shadow die, but I did not use it since I inlaid the die cut after embossing it. 

I hope you are inspired to get this super cute stamp set and design a few cards for your friends and family. They also can be used on treat bags or Halloween decor. 

Stayed tuned for more Halloween goodness later this month with a new stamp set to be released soon.

I used up a bit of my colored burlap from DCWV that have been in my stash for a while on this sympathy card. Leaf die is from Carta Bella. The sentiment is from the tiny words set from Simon Says Stamp.

Tied on a tiny string bow and called this one done. Love how clean and sharp it came out.

Bat!

Hi there! Playing in the color challenge over at The Paper Players today.

Tag is made using kuretake watercolors, specifically the purple and green - I used a copic marker to add the orange. Bat die is from DCWV and the sentiment is an old one from the form There She Goes Stamp co.  Eerie eyes are from Doodlebug design. 

Since I had the watercolors out, I did one in candy corn colors too.

Another 2fer on leaves

Hello. At heart, I really love leaves during any season. They can be left alone or paired with a flower and bottom line, they just work.  So, with that in mind, I decided to play again in the Twofer leaves challenge.

Leaf stamps and the thank you sentiment are from Concord & 9th. I used different colored inks from Rubbernecker's Fuse ink line to stamp them in.  Get well sentiment on the first card is from Frantic stamper.  

Ribbon from PTI and dug out some big eyelets from We R memory keepers and used them on the get well card along with some twine. Burlap is from DCWV, green gingham paper is from A Muse Studio.

Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

Thanks

Hello. Playing in the Less is More challenge of more than one type of foliage today.

I used a alcohol ink background that I created eons ago and cut it up using three of the Tim Holtz sizzix skeleton leaves dies.  I had used a bit of alloy in statue and decided to cover the thanks die in gold to sort of match. Burlap is from a paper pad from die cuts with a view.

Thanks for stopping by.

Get well soon

Hello - Playing in the CAS Colours & Sketch challenge #389 today.

I was going for a clean and simple masculine get well soon card, as you all know, guys don't like a lot of stuff on their cards. LOL. I used some burlap designer paper from DCWV and a fishtail banner to cut the strips. Sentiment is from the Frantic Stamper. I stamped it in cocoa ink from Hero Arts. Rustic white cardstock from Papertrey, Ink is used as the base of the card and the top layer.  A stitched frame from MFT as used on it for added interest.

Sending hugs

Hello. Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #454.

The leaf is a die from Simon Says Stamp. I blended some crackling campfire, carved pumpking and scattered straw oxide inks onto some Bristol cardstock, then cut the leaf out. It matches the plaid dsigner paper pretty good. The dp is from DCWV called pumpkin patch, which is really old. Sentiment is from Poppy Stamps. I heat embossed it in white so that it would stand out. I used rustic white cardstock from PTI as the base for this top folding card.

Thanks for visiting.

Anything goes - happy birthday

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes.

As you can see, I took the solid tag stamp (5216-L) and added the leaf using a stencil. Absolutely loved how this turned out. Then got to playing around and created more using other stencils, which you might see at another time.

Burlap is from DCWV and cut down a bit to fit on the white card base. I used a craft knife to cut out the tag and then framed it with dark green cardstock. Thin white satin ribbon is colored with a Copic marker to match and used on the tag.

Masculine debossed gears

Hi all. Playing in the clean and simple challenge of masculine over at The Paper Players today.

I used the larger (5 x 7) gears embossing folder from cuttlebug/provo craft to deboss the gears for this card. Added a border of gears cut out of metallic cardstock. Used the same cardstock to layer the birthday sentiment, which is from Simon Says Stamp.

Have a great day and thanks for popping in.
