Trick-or-Treat

 Hello again! It's Laurie sharing another cute ghost from the NEW Halloween ghost stamp set.

I did a fun little corner fold on a piece of  Kelly Panacci Halloween mat pad from K&Company. I found a piece of cardstock in my stash that closely match the skeleton paper and colored the ghost using Copic markers. 

I had this string of bat ribbon in my stash, so I cut one off and stuck it to the trick-or-treat sentiment tag. The spider is a brad that I picked up at my local stamp store ages ago. 

I have one last card to share next week - stay tuned!

Dog gone it

The dog stamps are from My Favorite Things and are colored with Copic markers.  The bone die is from the former Paper Smooches company.

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Hello, and some exciting news!

Hello everyone. I have some exciting news. I've been asked to join the design team over at The Flower Challenge.  WooHoo! Anyway, here is my first card for the Use a Die challenge this month.

I stenciled the flowers using the technique that JM showed a while back so that you get 4 card fronts at once. Then I went back and stamped the corresponding stamp for the flowers.  The stencil and stamps are from Altenew.  Inks are from Simon Says Stamp.

The hello die is a CZ die from Simon Says Stamp. The little dragonfly die is an old one from Memory Box. 

Thanks for stopping in. Have a creative day! 

Just a note to say hello

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Less Is More.

This beautiful lavender die is from Gummianpan.  The sentiment is form Studio Calico. I used Copic markers to color the lavender. 

Here is the cue card.

 

Please visit the Simply Less is More BLOG to see what wonderful creations the design team has come up with.

EEK!

Hi everyone.  It's Laurie back with another Halloween ghost card.

I stamped the ghost in Versafine ink and heat embossed it so that I could color it with Copic's. I have had the designer paper in my Halloween stash of paper forever, so it was fun to put it to use on this card. It came from a Tim Coffey Halloween pack of paper put out by K&Company. 

I used a few stitched dies to cut the ghost out and the fishtail banner. Layered it onto a black background and adhered everything onto a purple card base. 

Stayed tuned for next Thursday as I have another creation made with this stamp set.

Birthday wishes

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #600 challenge today. 

The butterfly die is from Memory Box and the sentiment stamp is from My Favorite Things.  The background is done using my 5 x 7 gelli plate and a stencil from Shawn Petite, plus some bubble wrap, metallic paint, etc. There are a lot of layers on those sheets. 

I cut the solid portion of the butterfly out of metallic gold cardstock from Tim Holtz to match the paint used on the background I created. I had a lot of fun creating so many sheets of gelli prints but it's time to use them up.

Thanks for stopping by.

Group photo

Hello, it's Laurie again and welcome back to another card for the new Halloween Ghost stamp set that will be released soon. I call this one, Group Photo.

I did a lot of masking for this one. I used intense black ink from Honey Bee stamps to stamp them all out, which is a Copic friendly ink. Then spent some time coloring them all out. I did add some goofy/scary bloodshot marks to the ghost holding the sign with a red gel pen. All of the eyes are highlighted with glossy accents. So in real life they a super shiny, but it never shows well in photos. 

I will be back next soon with another card to showcase this fun new set.

Thanks!
