Halloween Hoot

 

Okay, so I saw Tina's card on Pinterest - from TinasCraftyInSpot.com.  She, in turn, CASed it from M.Robinson Design. It had to be a good one if a few people are creating it - right! This was a labor of LOVE for sure... line up the stamps to go within the windows. Coloring in the images with Stampin' Blends... and then die-cutting them out. Hope my niece adores it!

For the background, instead of sponging like Tina did... I used the 'Oh, So Ombre' DSP. Cool - huh!

Thanks for hooting by!

Little Home

 

When I saw this cute card on Pinterest, I knew I had to create one of my own using the colors I know my best friend would love! She's a fan of pink... and she just moved into a new home! Congratulations to Dawn and her Mom, Kathy (my second Mom).

As you can see I changed many things to make the card my own, but wanted to share where/who I got inspiration from.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Gorgeous Fox

 

My niece loves animals... wolves in particular, but I didn't have a wolf stamp, so found this cute set that has been retired for a bit. I decided to pair it with the 'Woodland Textures' Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). The sentiment is from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set.

Turtle Baby

 

My niece and nephew-in-law are having a baby girl in December.  As I try to incorporate people's likes/ dislikes within the cards I make for them, I know Tori doesn't care for the color pink. I DO know that she loves green and turtles, so this stamp set 'Turtle Friends' is perfect for her.

Layered Hugs

 

My Sister-in-law is in the hospital for Pancreatitis... she says the pain is unbearable. I hope and pray the inflammation and pain subside, and she returns to her normal happy self. I created this card to hopefully cheer her and give her the courage needed to get through this episode.

True Love

 

Thanks so much for your inspiration Laura Milligan... I designed a card using the 'True Love' DSP (even the flowers are the DSP not a stamp). I changed mine up a bit to make it my own.

I used Watercolor pencils and an AquaPainter to color in the flowers and leaves. I let it completely dry before attaching it to the card. Also... I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Candy Corn

 

My 2 year old niece Boo'd our home yesterday. What is being Boo'd? Well, it's when neighbor's, friend's or family stop over your home and secretly leave a gift at your door. Well, as she is 2... she placed the bag outside our door and knocked and hid around the door. When I opened the door.... she popped out and said "BOO". LOL! So cute! She's an adorable little angel.

I wanted to show my appreciation for her lovely gift ( of Halloween cookies - Frankenstein and a Ghost, a Halloween spatula, and some star cookie cutters) with this cute 'Thank You' card for her.

The Candy Corn outline I found online. I just printed it out on Basic White cardstock and colored the image in using Stampin' Blends markers. The face is drawn by hand with my Stampin' Write markers. I added a "Wink of Stella" to the whole image to make it sparkle. Although.... it did smear the eyes a bit. Still cute!

Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Halloween!

Elegantly Tropical

 

For my hubby on our 19th wedding anniversary! I would be so lost without you in my world! I love you! Since we've decided NOT to go to Hawaii this year for our anniversary.... I thought I'd bring a little tropical feel to us here at home.

Thanks for celebrating with us!

Daisy Moments

 

With Designer Series Paper, a card can come together rather quickly. Here, I've paired the 'Delightful Daisy' DSP with the 'Peaceful Moments' stamp set to create this lovely card for my sister-in-law.

I used the 'Stitched Nested Labels' dies for the sentiment piece, but cut the end off of one side to create the look you see here.

Sailing Friends

 

When I saw Cheryl's card.... I just knew I had to create one for myself. Thanks Cheryl for your wonderful inspiration! Not sure how you achieved the background piece... I tried using the Stamparatus, but couldn't get the rope to line up very well. Maybe I should have used the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I did the best I could with what I had to work with.

The background piece is created by using the rope stamp from the 'Sailing Home' set multiple times with Soft Suede and Misty Moonlight ink.

Thanks so much for looking!

Happy Dahlias

 

Using the Delicate Dahlias from the Aug-Sept 2021 Sale-A-Bration Catalog paired with the sentiment from 'Happy Thoughts' stamp set. I used my favorite color combo of Pumpkin Pie/Daffodil Delight/ Old Olive. Perfect for a fall card.

I did use scissors to cut out the leaves and dahlia flower. I added a 'Wink of Stella to the flower petals to make them shine.

When I saw Kimber Kreations' card... I just knew I had to make one for my own. My cousin just turned 50! So, this set is perfect to let her star shine today on her birthday! I used the color combo of Black/White/Gold.

I heat embossed Gold onto both the Basic White and Basic Black cardstock.

The circle die cut is from the 'Tasteful Labels' die set. The numbers are from the 'Little Numbers' die set.

Party Home

Working with some new stamp sets here....here's one from the new Sale-A-Bration catalog (Aug-Sept 2021). I paired it with the sentiment from the 'Punch Party' stamp set - which is from the Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I colored in the image with my Stampin' Blends. I tried with my water color pencils, but found it too difficult to work with.

Thanks for stoppin by!
