Sweet Sunday......Give Thanks

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I have not made very many fall cards this year even tho it is my favorite time of the year, and since Thanksgiving is this Thursday here in America, I took this opportunity to make a one.

I pulled out my Stampin Up Fall Fest stamp set along with the Hardwood Background and the For All things set and got busy!

I love a square card and was excited to use this sketch!

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then a layer of Cajun Craze and the DSP comes from the Color Me Autumn paper pack.

The center layers are Cajun Craze and another piece of Crumb Cake that is stamped with Crumb Cake ink using the Hardwood BG stamp. I added the sentiment from the For All Things stamp set using Cajun Craze ink.

I used a piece of the 1-1/4" burlap ribbon across the bottom. I stamped three pumpkins from the Fall Fest stamp set using Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake ink. I cut them out with the matching dies and sponged the edges with Cajun Craze ink. I cut three small leaves that are from the Fun Fall Framelits and crumbled them up a bit. I added them to the pumpkins and then used some small buttons and twine to top them off.  I used a bit of crystal effects on the leaves to make them look a bit wet and then colored all over the pumpkins with my Wink of Stella pen to add a bit of a glow.

I finished off with a few gold sequins.

Halloween Treats.....Boo to You

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am popping in quickly to show you these fun little treats I whipped up for Halloween!

I just love the little ghost in the Stampin Up Fall Fest stamp set and its matching framelits. For these little goodies I used just the ghost framelit. I cut out several with Whisper White card stock and then stamped on the faces using the images in the Fall fest stamp set. 

I used a bunch of retired DSP for my goodies, love that I can use up some of that stockpile. 

I am linking these in the challenge this week over on the SUO Challenge Blog, the challenge is to make a treat or a container for a treat. 

The sentiment is from the Good Greetings stamp set, I love all the sentiments and font in this set!

My toppers dimensions are 3-1/4 x 5 inches. scored ate 2 1/2 inches. I used some retired SU cello bags. These are quick and easy! I hope the recipients will enjoy them.

Sweet Sunday.....Happy Halloween

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I had such fun with this card, I love this set and that little ghost! I used the Stampin Up Fall Fest with matching dies for my ghost and pumpkin

And how about that fun tree paper in the BG? It is from the Motley Monsters pack.

I was very much inspired by this cute card from Mary Brown, I loved the fun little banners and the sparkly ghost with this BG paper, so that was my jumping off point. I, of course, had to add the pumpkins. The base of the card is Crushed Curry card stock and then a layer of Basic Black. 

I used more Crushed Curry for my stripes under the circle. I cut a basic black circle to mount my sparkly ghost on. I used some of the silver glimmer paper for the ghost. The pumpkins are Cajun Craze and Hello Honey. I used Crushed Curry for the Happy Halloween banners. I used some toothpicks to mount them on.

I added a small black bow and a couple of twine bows on the pumpkins.
