googly witch

Today, I wanted to share a fun and simple Halloween card I had on display at last week's Open House. I just love that Razzleberry-Olive-Black combo! And, who doesn't love a silly witch with some Googlies for her eyes?! (In hindsight, I might have colored the buckle on her hat in black and olive...might still have to do that!)

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry Patterned Paper (Brights Pack)

perfectly preserved (FMS47)

Just a quick card to share with you today before I head out to enjoy some fun with friends!

This card I had on display at last Thursday's Holiday Catalog Open House to help showcase the new Perfectly Preserved stamp set and Orchard Harvest DSP. I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and kept it simple to let the background pear DSP do the talking! (Although, I probably would have added a little bit more if I would have had some more time to play with it.)

And, I just made it under the wire to add it to the link at Freshly Made Sketches as it closes today at noon!

Card Recipe
Stamp Set: Perfectly Preserved (Holiday Catalog), Itty Bitty Banners
Paper: Lucky Limeade, More Mustard, Early Espresso
Ink: Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade, More Mustard
Accessories: Dimensionals
Tools: Big Shot, Perfefctly Preserved Framelits, Bitty Banner Framelits

three little spiders

Another Halloween card to share with you in preparation for my Holiday Catalog Open House this afternoon! It will be a busy day, but I'll have lots more to share after it's over, including all of my samples and make n takes.


Thanks to the Paper Craft Crew (formerly Stampin' Queens Challenge blog) for the sketch inspiration (Although somehow I missed the deadline to enter. Not sure where my brain was at, but I have a pretty good idea...)

Gotta love the new Googly Ghouls stamp set and this spider couldn't be any cuter...er, I mean scarier! Just had to use the new Googlies (adhesive-backed googly eyes...50 for only $2.50) to make the middle spider stand out. I also embossed the "Boooo" in black, but unfortunately you can't really get the full effect in the picture.

Card Recipe
Stamp Set: Googly Ghouls (Holiday Catalog)
Paper: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP
Ink: Black Staz-On, Versarmark (for embossing)
Accessories: Dimensionals, Googlies, Glimmer Brads, 1/2" Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon (retired), Black Embossing Powder
Tools: Big Shot, Large Scallop Edgelit, 1" Circle punch, Paper Piercing Tool & Mat

frightening feline (SSC267)

My Holiday Catalog Open House is on Thursday and I have been busy creating card samples using products from the mini catalog. I wanted to have the products available to look at, but I especially wanted to have samples out to see what they can do with them!

I headed over to Stamping 411 for some sketch inspiration...

Using the single stamp Frightening Feline and the fun Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, I put together a fun Halloween card.

Card Recipe
Stamp Set: Frightening Feline (Holiday Catalog), Spooky Bingo Bits, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP
Ink: Black Staz-On, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard (inking around the edges)
Accessories: Dimensionals, Sponges, Pearl Accents (colored black with Sharpie)
Tools: Big Shot, Stripes Embossing Folder, 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch (new!) 

There will be more, so come on back!

happy halloween googly ghouls

Today's card is the second card I created for my stamp club members. I wanted to give my gals a chance to use some of the new products from the Holiday Catalog since we weren't meeting this summer. The first card kit (using the Scentsational Season stamp set) can be found HERE.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Googly Ghouls stamp set! I don't make many cards for Halloween, but I knew that this set was going to be a fun one to play with, especially because of the new adhesive-backed googly eyes creatively called Googlies. I also love the Halloween paper called Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP.

I put together a couple of card kits this weekend for my stamp club gals. Club ended in June for a summer break, but I wanted to give them a chance to see in person some of the new Holiday Mini Catalog goodies, which I love and would like one of everything, please!

I headed over to Freshly Made Sketches to help me with my inspiration and decided to rotate the sketch to fit the image I wanted to use. I love Freshly Made Sketches because I can always count on a clean sketch that fits my style perfectly!
