You're Spooktacular

 Hello and Happy Thursday...the 1st Day of October.  Wow...it's been a whirlwind, these months flying by.  I'll be sharing Christmas cards before long....shhhhhhhh!

Today's make and share is another spooky card featuring a slimline profile, die cutting, heat embossing and the Haunts and Harvest Stamp Set by Gina K. Designs.  This stamp set was part of her Fall Release and came in a huge card kit.  

The spiders are from the stamp set; I stamped and heat embossed them and cut out with the matching dies.  The bat is a die I have in my stash from a few Halloweens ago along with the alphabet dies.  The spooky branches are from a Crafters Companion Fall die set and the designer papers are from Hobby Lobbys' loose 12x12 papers.  The slimline base and frame are also dies I was gifted earlier this year by a dear friend from overseas.  The card base was created using Gina K. Designs Sweet Mango cardstock.  

For a finishing touch, I added orange sequins for a bit of All Hallows Eve sparkle.  I hope you like my whimical/scary card and will visit again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

This Is Halloween

A Big Boo To You!

 Hello and Happy Wednesday.  We've made it through half the week and I can see the weekend just around the corner.  I've been on a roll with Halloween cards so today's make and share is....you guessed it...another Halloween card.  

This A2 sized card features a stamped image from the Brutus Monroe Stamp of the Month Club set.  The monthly charge is $5 US so I couldn't resist getting in on the club.  The sets usually contain 1 image with 1 sentiment.  

The sentiment with this image was quite small so I chose to die cut the word "Boo" out of some old alphabet dies I have in my stash.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and used designer papers from the DCWV "Witches Brew" 6x6 mat stack.  For a final touch and to provide some balance, I added 3 purple gems.  I hope I didn't scare you with this Spooky card!

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!
