Lil Witchy Poo

Hi Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!  Today I'm sharing another cute Halloween Card featuring an adorable little Witch from Recollections.

The images are part of a cling stamp set from Recollections that I purchased through FB Marketplace a few years ago.  It was new in package and this card is the fist time using these images.  I'm constantly amazing myself at the things I'm finding when digging deep into the stash!

I've colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the designer papers are from the Echo Park "Trick or Treat" 6x6 paper pad.  I went a bit "Old Skool" with design elements such as a corner punch and Crop-a-Dile Corner Rounder, Distressing Edger, Ribbon and Nuvo Drops.  The sentiment is a cut out from the paper pad.

This card style may not be Trendy but I still like to create this way from time to time.  Have a Great Weekend and Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Surprise Designer at Bugaboo Stamps

 Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!  I've been invited as a Surprise Guest Designer for the month of October at Bugaboo Stamps! Those who know me know Bugaboo is my Favorite Designer so you can imagine how surprised and excited I was to be invited!  For my team project, I had the pleasure of creating a Halloween themed card for the Anything Goes themed Saturday Challenge.

For my project, I used the Frame It Witch & Frog digital image.  This was a fun image to color up using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I mounted the focal panel on foam pads for a bit of dimension, die cut a scary bat, used designer paper from the Paper Studio, stamped a sentiment from a really old set in my stash and accented the image with Wink of Stella.  

Please visit the Saturday Weekly Challenge at Bugaboo Stamps to see the other awesome team projects and enter to win your choice of some fun Bugaboo images.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 Good Sunday Morning All.  Today's make and share features Stella from Bugaboo Stamps riding her broom and sharing a sound piece of advise for our Inner Witches.  

I love Bugaboo Stamps and I've been creating Autumn and Halloween cards this weekend, so I had to use this image for a fun A2 sized card.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the DSP is from the Die Cuts with a View "Witches Brew" 6x6 paper pad.  I placed foam pads behind the focal image for a bit of dimension and added die cut bats around Stella.  For a final touch, I used Wink of Stella on the Moon and Star, also Glossy Accents to the lenses of her glasses.

Enjoy you day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

 Happy Saturday All!  Today's make and share features more of my "shopping my stash" items.  Yesterday I posted about going through my stash this weekend to find things I haven't used in a long while and/or forgot about create with.  I came across this Witch die so I created my first Halloween card for 2020.

I started by dry embossing a white panel with an old Halloween themed embossing folder.  I then ink blended over the embossing with Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Dusty Concord and Black Soot.

I die cut the Witch and a Stitched Circle to represent the moon.  Splattered water and diluted Black Soot ink over the entire panel, stamped a sentiment from the Cardz TV set "Mini Messages" and for a final touch added Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

There's a bunch of Hocus Pocus Going On!

Hello and thanks for stopping by.  Today I'm sharing another Halloween card that has been paper pieced.  The three dancing witches remind me of the witches from Hocus Pocus; the images are from the Cricut Cartridge Potions and Spells.

The images are 3-layered:  purple, orange and black.  I embossed a mat of gray card with a Halloween embossing folder and added a strip of patterned paper to give these witches a dance floor.  This card is the standard A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") and was a simple one to create, no extra embellishments added as I thought the image was enough.

I hope you were inspired and will try your hand at paper piecing.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creatalicious Challenges - Shaped Card

Hello!  Today it's time for challenge #149 at Creatalicious Challenges.  The theme is Anything Goes with an option of using the color purple.  The sponsor this challenges is the incredible Simon Says Stamp!

It's getting close to All Hallows Eve so I created this shaped card using the Cricut cut image Spooky from the Autumn Celebrations cartridge.  I did use the color purple in my design team project and added the die cut Witch as an extra embellishment.  I also added Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle and Ranger Glossy Accents to the middle of the eyes.

This shaped card measures 4.5" x 7" and I made an envelope from black card.  When I mail, I will address the envelope with a gold marker.

I hope you will join us for the challenge at Creatalicious; a huge thank you to Simon Says Stamp for sponsoring this challenge.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges - Sophie the Little Witch

Good Morning everyone!  It's great to be back from holiday and posting for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges.  This weeks' sponsors are the incredible Little Blue Button Stamps and Lemon Shortbread Stamps.

I had the pleasure of using one of Little Blue Buttons' cute Halloween stamps - Witch Sophie.  She is just too cute to spook!  Her little side kick Kitty is holding on for the ride :)

I colored her up with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and layered with Halloween papers that I had in my stash from last year.  I die cut around the image and added some lime green card candy and a checked bow for the accent pieces.  I applied some sparkle using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen to her bows, the stripes on her leggings and her boot buckles; unfortunately it doesn't show in the picture but it is enough to add a touch of glitter. 

I hope you will join in the fun over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges this week. My design team sisters have created some amazing projects using images from our sponsors this week.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Through the Craft Room Door Guest Designer Project - Sweet Witch

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm sharing my Guest Designer Project for Through the Craft Room Door Challenges.  It's a sweet and not too spooky Witch from designer M. Medel Illustrations on Etsy.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers and die cut a big spider for her hat.  It appears she is looking up at him!  I added some crystal gems that I colored purple with an alcohol marker and popped the image and mat up with foam tape.  This card is an A-6 size (4.5" x 6.5").

I want to thank Through the Craft Room Door for the fun challenges they host and for this opportunity to be a Guest Designer for the blog.  It was great fun!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
