Halloween Card 5 - Wreaths

Hello crafty friends,

Wreaths are very popular lately, so I brushed the cobwebs off my wreath die and created these two cards.  One Halloween and the other Fall.  A wreath die or stamp makes the prefect foundation for any card.  For my wreaths I used an Impression Obsession die.

On my Halloween card, I die cut the wreath from back card stock.  I used three tombstones from the Your Next Stamp graveyard set, ghost from the Impression Obsession Mini Ghost set, and the word Halloween from the Little B Halloween Phrases set.

Here's a closed up showing how glittery the ghost are after I used by clear glitter marker on them.

On my Fall card, I die cute the wreath from brown card stock.  Added some small punched flowers w/glitter dots in the center.   The large flower is from Cheery Lynn Sunflower die.  I used a button for the center.

I hope you have enjoyed today's projects and that it inspires you to make some of your own.

Hello crafty friends,  here's my card for today...

Halloween Card 3 - Jack-O-Lantern Envelope

Hello craft friends... Today's card started w/a jack-o-lantern vellum envelope I found in the dollar section.

I glued the envelope onto my card front.  Added some stampted spider webs, which I colored parts of w/my zig orange marker.  The little ghost and boos are actually attached to the inside panel.

Which I added, so that I can write my greeting.  I may even add a gift card for some hot chocolate behind the panel.

Halloween Card 2 - Jack-O-Lantern

Hello Crafty Friends,

For my second card in the series, I used my new Lil'inker's Pumpkin Faces die set to die cut Jack-O-Lantern faces on a black glitter tag.  I lined the back of the tag w/foam squares for dimension and backed it with orange card stock.  I used a small Jack-O-Lantern face stamp to create my background right on the card front. My finishing touch was to add tiny ghosts from an Impression Obsessions die set.

Here's a close up:

Halloween Card 1 - Haunting Cat

Welcome crafty friends!

I have ignored my blog for months, so I gave myself a project that was sure to motivate me.   Today is Oct 1st and it's the prefect day to start my Halloween Series.  My goal is to create and post a new Halloween or Fall themed card every other day during this month.  If I'm counting right, that will be about 15 cards... right? So lets get started!

Card 1 features the Happy Haunting Cat from Rubbernecker that I picked up at the August 2016 Scrapbook Expo.

I started w/a pattern paper mat that was an 1/8th of inch smaller than my A2 size top folding card. Next I die cut two tags from an off white tiny text halloween print pattern paper, I layered them and stamped my spooky cat on top.  I added a few sequences and inked the edges of my card w/orange distress ink.

To make this series more fun... how about a GIVEAWAY?  At the end of the series, I will randomly pick one lucky person to win, so make sure you comment on EVERT post in order to be eligible.
