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!

Friday Mash Up!

Hi All,
I was in the mood for a challenge last night so I went on over to Friday Mash Up to see their challenge of the week. I was definitely not disappointed!

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

1. Make a project using " Black N' White Only ."
2. Or Make a project with " Some Bling ".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a " Black N' White Project with some Bling! "

I thought their challenge would be perfect for a Halloween themed card that I wanted to present to some new stampers next month! Here is what I came up with:

I decided to "mash it up" and use Black and White and definitely add some bling!! I used some Rhinestones and Iridescent "Ice" heat embossing powder for my bling. I ran the Basic Black panel through the Stripes Embossing Folder and used my favorite ribbon; White Organza around the panel before using my new Apocthery Accents Framelits to create a neat little white space for my "Frightening Feline". Here is a close up of the "blinged" out cat!

Gotta love the Rhinestone eyes! Hope they like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Just Add Success!

Hi All,
I am very excited to share my card of the day with you today!! I had been struggling with a design for my Great Aunts's Halloween cards but was finally motivated by the great sketch over at Just Add Ink

I was also excited as I was finally getting a chance to use some of my new "goodies" from the New Holiday Mini! Lets see if you can spot them:

I used the new "Howlstooth & Scaringbone DP! So so cool! I love the patterns as they are not over whelming for accenting a card and can also be used for some of my Thanksgiving crafts! In addition, I added the "Frightening Feline" stamp and the new 1/2" stripped Satin Ribbon! I heat embossed the "Feline" and cut him out and added some "bling" for his eyes . I also dry embossed the Basic Grey panel with my Vintage Wall Paper folder. Finally, I added the sentiment from the "new to me" Wicked Cool" set. Halloween cards and crafts always make me smile! Hope she loves it!

Thanks for stopping by!
