Halloween Witches

 

My nieces, 3years and 6 months, will be celebrating Halloween in style. The new 'Best Witches' stamp set was so adorable... I just knew I had to create some cards for them. The stamped witches kinda resemble my nieces, as one has curly hair and one has straight hair. Eleanor and Emily will get a kick outta this card for sure!

Thanks for dropping in!

Well, this is last of the three cards I needed to create for Halloween for my 3 littlest nieces. I hope you enjoyed the versatility in the stamp set 'Best Witches'.

Artistic Witch

 

Such a cute set to use for Halloween. Most of my nieces and nephews are adults now, but a few are still little (3 years, 8 months and 6 months). I wanted to create 3 different ones, so come back again to see the others.

I used the Perfectly Artistic DSP for the background.... almost looks like a boiling vat of sludge. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the paper to make it shine (looks like you can't see it in the photo).

Thanks for dropping in for a spell!

Forest Wildlife

 

My niece used to volunteer at a Wolf Sanctuary... she fell in love with the animals there. I wanted to incorporate this stamp from the 'Wildlife Wonder' set. I do have to say that the card seems more masculine to me instead of feminine, but I'm sure she won't mind!

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Wonderful Saying

 

Mike's parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary. I chose to pair the 'Wonderful World' stamp set with the sentiment from 'Something to Celebrate'. The Designer Series Paper is from the 'Daffodil Afternoon' DSP.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flower to make it shine.

Gorgeous Palms

I fell in love with Kim's creation, and knew I just had to create one for my husband for our anniversary! Now, I know Kim (and others found on Pinterest) have used the window sheets to create this effect. I did not have any window sheets, so I needed to eyeball it as much as I could (now, I know what to order on my next Stampin' Up list!). Such a cool effect! I love it!

The 'sand' is from the 'Daffodil Daydream' stamp set.

The birds and 'water' are from the 'High Tide' stamp set.

The sentiment is from 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set.

Yearly Prints

 

It was hard to create this card. Not sure if it was because I've been away from crafting or because I just couldn't get the color combo to work for me. I finally fell upon the Saraha Sand/Blackberry Bliss/Evening Evergreen combo. Looks stunning together... almost looks like a masculine color, but works for feminine as well.

Thanks for taking a look!

Wildlife Bear

 

Another great masculine card that I found online... this one from Chris Long. I wanted to create one of my own, but wanted the background blue instead of the brown in theirs. Now I know why they chose brown... I had to use my Stampin' Blends marker (Soft Suede) to color in the spots that left blue through the bear. I think it turned out good!

Thanks for taking a look!

Nature's Friend

 

When I saw Terri Gaines' cards... I just knew I had to to create one of my own. I changed a few things to make it my own, but drew inspiration from Terri's cards! Thanks Terri!

The background is the 'Fern' 3D embossing folder... as well as, the Layering Squares dies.

The stamps are all from 'Nature's Prints except for the sentiment. That one is from the 'Friendly Hello' set.

I used Crushed Curry/Black and White on this card, however, I did color in the flowers using the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends markers. I added a 'Wink of Stella' too to the flowers to make them shine.

I ran a stylus on the back of the die too (for the sentiment) to make it 'pop' more.

Thanks for checking it out!

Beautiful Prints

 

My sister and her husband are celebrating their anniversary. I wanted a simple, yet elegant card. Not sure I fit the bill on simple... as it did take me a long time to design this card, but it's elegant (in my opinion).

I used the 'Natural Prints' dies for the background leaf design and the sentiment.

The sentiment itself is from the 'Beautiful Bouquet' stamp set.

The heart-shaped dies are from the 'Be Mine Stitched' dies.

Wink of Stella is on the heart to make it shine.

World Greetings

 

The 'Wonderful World' stamp set includes 3 flowers and 2 leaf stamps. At first, I was a bit daunted by how to utilize them on a card, as the flowers are all one piece (flowers and stems). I chose to ink the whole flower with one color and use the leaf stamp with a different color. If you look closely at the bottom of the picture you can see how I overlapped the stamps. I used ribbon to hide the imperfections, as I would call them (not necessarily bad).

I used the Rings of Love DSP (Designer Series Paper) and picked up the colors within the paper to determine what color the flower will be. However, the paper said Night of Navy, but I used Starry Sky.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them shine.
