Frightening Feline (in every literal sense of the word!)

Okay, so I made this card and as I was photographing it, I realized how FRIGHTENING it actually is! lol. Those are JUST Basic Jewels on his eyes, not googlie ones, can you believe that? How CREEPY! Anyway, I used The Howlstooth DSP as my background paper and color scheme, the orange is Tangerine Tango and and Basic Black and Very Vanilla cardstocks.  I also used the spider web from Wicked Cool and stamped it in Basic Gray. And the CREEPY cat is from the Holiday Mini called Frightening Feline.  I then tied a bow from the 1/8th Basic Black Taffeta ribbon and Mono Multi'd it to the cat. Happy Halloween!

Jolly Bingo Bits

I told you before I LOVE these Bingo Bits, both Jolly and Spooky, but I was ready to break out some more Christmas ideas, so this is what I came up with.  I layered Whisper White cardstock on top of each other, ran the smaller layer throught the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  I cut two strips of Gumball Green with the Finishing Touches die and adhered it behind a strip of Be of Good Cheer DSP.  I then stamped random images from Jolly Bingo Bits in Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Soft Suede and punched them out with the 1" circle punch and popped them up on the DSP.  I then stamped Merry in Soft Suede onto Gumball Green cardstock from the set Tiny Tags and punched with the Jewelry Tag punch and adhered to the gingerbread image with an Vintage Trinket safety pin.  It's hard to see in this photo, but it's all spritzed with Frost White shimmer mist~

No Peeking Twisted Card

So, I needed to step away from my craft fair stuff for a bit and just stamp for fun.  I had this tutorial lying in my pile of "want to try" for a week or so and just hunkered down and made one. It literally took me less than 10 minutes, including the stamping!  I just adore the characters in the stamp set No Peeking and the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper has my favorite red, Cherry Cobbler, so how could I have gone wrong. I have to say that I broke the seal finally after 5 months on my Doiley Die! CRAZY! Anyway, I colored the penquin with markers, Gumball Green, Basic Gray, and Cherry Cobbler and then stamped it onto Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out with the 1 3/8 circle punch. I stamped the To/From in Gumball Green and also onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then looped some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon through the end.

Christmas Blessings

This was my second swap for Hilton Head.  I was in 3 groups and brought home 60 swaps! I did this one in Real Red, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla along with the Candlelight Christmas DSP and Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  I ran the Very Vanilla through the Lacey Brocade embossing folder and spritzed it with Champagne Shimmer Spray. And stamped the poinsettias on Crumb Cake in Real Red ink, and cut out using the Apothecary Labels Framelits and addes some pearls. I then stamped the sentiment in Basic Black.

Spooky Bingo Bits

This was one of my swaps for the Hilton Head swap.  I love Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set, and wanted to use it again this year during the fall season.  I also, after having it for over a year, pulled out my Spritzer Tool and let me tell you, if you don't have one of these, you SHOULD! It was so much fun!  Anyway, I stamped the images in Basic Black onto Whisper White, and punched out the words with the 1 1/4" circle punch, and the spider with the 3/4" circle punch and I layered him onto circles of Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral cardstock and then used a Dimensional behind it to pop it up.  I wrapped one layer of Lucky Limeade cardstock with Calypso Coral Bakers twine. Using the Spider Web Folder, I ran a piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot and then used a Basic Black marker and Color Spritzer tool to make the fun look of splatter.

World Treasures

I made this card because this piece of DSP from the Patio Party just SCREAMS "USE ME!" I love, love, love the color combo of Summer Starfruit and Cherry Cobbler, it's probably my FAVORITE ever!  I stamped the flowers from the set World Treasures in Cherry Cobbler on to Whisper White card stock, and then stamped the Hello in Soft Suede onto Summer Starfruit card stock (the stamp is from Tiny Tags) and punched it out with the Jewelry Tag punch ad added a safety pin from the Vintage Trinkets.  I then wrapped some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine around the panel and tied it, to have something to attach the pin too. I then of course added some Basic Pearls here and there.

Birthday Legos for Seth!

My darling grandson turned 3 on Wednesday and he loves Legos! So, since I don't get to make boy cards often, this one was so much fun!  I used Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy and Gumball Green Green cardstock for the Legos, and Real Red and Basic Black for the layers and the number 3.  I just cut some random size rectangles and then punched out circles witht the 3/4" circle punch, sponged the edges with a darker shade of ink on each one and popped each one up with Dimensionals.  I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Itty Bitty Banners in Basic Black and cut it with the Itty Bitty Banners Framelits. I then went over the Legos and number with the Signo Gel Pen to give it more dimension.

Happy Birthday SETH!
