Halloween Happiness

Morning All.
Well am home another day sick! Gotta love it!! Anyway I am going to be doing a workshop at a friend of mines home this month and she LOVES Halloween! So here is the card that I am going to demonstrate:

 

I colored the Halloween Happiness Stamp then added some rhinestone's. I used a base of Tangerine Tango and ran it through the Big Shot with the Stripes EF versa marked so that I could use my Heat and Stick Powder and add the Black Glitter. I roughed up the edges of the White and Basic Black and I was done. Very easy card but with a lot of appeal!!! Have a great day!

Joyful Christmas

Hi All,
I wanted to share the Christmas card that I am going to present at my next Stamping Club. I wanted to use some of my favorite new products from the Holiday Mini. Check it out:

I used the Joyful Christmas stamp set and my heat and stick power and added the Gold Glitter to it and then "fussy cut" the poinsettia out. I ran the Cherry Cobbler in the Big Shot with my Petals a Plenty EF and used the new Gold foil as the background. I used a piece of Stitched Gumball ribbon to match my base of Gumball Green cardstock. I added the sentiment from Joyful Christmas and cut it out with the Apothecary Accents. Here is a close up:

 

 

I love the shine from using the Gold Encore ink on the sentiment. Hope they like it as much as I do!

Yup I am still here

Hi All,
Sorry for the hiatus, been crazy busy at work and home. Finally had a chance to make a card, which was good as I needed a card for my grandmothers 101st b-day! First I needed some inspiration, which I found at CAS Colour and Sketches sketch challenge. Here is their great sketch:

 

And here is what I came up with:

 

 

I mixed some retired and new products. I used a base of Pool Party, Everyday Enchantment and Well Scripted for the sentiment. I used the new Silver Stamping Glitter for the sentiment. I love that I am getting a little more confident using the heat and stick powder, as the end result is very sharp. Hope she enjoys the card. Thanks for stopping by.

Old and New

Hi All,
Got home after another long commute and decided that I needed a "crafting" break before I set off to see the horse. So I set off to design my Great Aunt's Halloween cards. I decided to use some of my Howlstooth and Scaringbone DP, combine it with the Frightening Feline stamp with the new Black Glitter! Love it!

I hope you can see the glitter sparkle! I added the rhinestones for the eyes and corner effect, ribbon across the DP and a sentiment from the Spooky Bingo Bits set and I was done. Hope she likes it have a great day!

New Halloween Toys

Hi All,
I finally got a chance to craft a bunch of Halloween cards for myself yesterday and wanted to share my design as well as some of the new items that I used from the Holiday Mini! I am a BIG fan of Halloween and loved the single stamp "Halloween Happiness" from the mini! I also really liked the idea of using the black and orange glitter. I have to let you in on a secret, I have never used the Heat and Stick powder even though I have had some for awhile and thought now would be a good time to use it!

 

I love the retired howlstooth and scaringbone paper and decided it was perfect to use for my personal Halloween cards. Lord knows I save every scrap of my DP to use for all my projects! I tried to get you all a closer look so you can see the glitter. I thought it was pretty cute!

 

 

I cant believe all the projects I have left to do! My "to do" list always seems to get longer and not shorter! Though I have to admit that I love to add to my crafting list! Have a great day!
