SSSC89.....Happy Halloween

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

This is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:





I started out with the best of intentions with this sketch, but do you know how when you have an idea in your head and then........well this card was that way. I knew I wanted to use this little witch from the Fang-tastic set and have her riding her broom, and I knew I wanted to use these fun little bats from some trim I got when I was in Kansas City last week. When I was putting it all together, my little witch just didn't look right on the rectangle element in the sketch, so I changed it to a circle. To look like the moon, but then I couldn't come up with anything for the scallop piece that should be on the edge of the rectangle, so that is where I decided it was ok to just have my card vary a bit. The bones of the sketch are still there huh?

The base of my card is basic black and the DS paper I used is some really old Stampin Up Halloween paper I had in my stash. I don't even know the name of it but I like it and when I saw it I thought I had to use it. The witch is stamped with black stazon onto some shimmer paper and colored in with my aqua painter and some ink from the ink pads. I cut it out and the broom too wand mounted it over the "moon" with some dimensionals. I used the spider web embossing folder on the black strip and I added a bit of old olive trim. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and punched out with the word window punch. The bats are puffy little black by the yard trim, I just cut them apart and glued them on.

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.

OK, let's see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team has in store for us this week:

MTSC....Happy Halloween

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!

You knew it couldn't last long.....I made another Halloween card, I do love me some "Halloween-y" fun!!!

This card is made with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. What could be more fun? Halloween and a Mercy sketch two of my favorite things!!!

My card is made with a base of Cajun Craze and I followed that with some DS paper from the Wicked Fun Speciality pack. I made the strips behind the main focal image with basic black that I had embossed with the spider web EF. I then rubbed a bit of Platinum Shimmer Paint. I dabbed a bit of the paint onto a sponge and lightly rubbed it across the embossed areas of the paper.





I turned the main image panel a bit from what the sketch showed, not sure why, I just thought it looked better. The little witch and the little Dracula are from the "Fang-tastic" stamp set. I stamped them twice, once on the narrow panel and once on some scrap white. I colored them with my aqua painter and ink from the ink pads. I also stamped the pumpkin and cat on the scrap and cut them all out. I added them to the panel with some dimensionals. I added some 1/8 inch rich razzleberry taffeta ribbon to both ends. The sentiment is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set and is stamped with black stazon onto whisper white and punched out with the word window punch. It is added to the base with some dimensionals too.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

MTSC.....Witch Way is the candy?

Good Thursday Morning Peeps! Today's card share is made with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #93.

The base of my card is a 5 inch square of basic black. I followed that with some rich razzleberry and the DS paper is from the Wicked Fun DS paper pack. I even tried a little sewing on this card. I sewed around the outside with my sewing machine and some black thread. The middle layer is rich razzleberry and more of the DS paper from the same pack. I sewed this layer too. The middle image piece is made from the "Fang-tastic" set. I stamped the witch, and the cat onto the piece of whisper white card stock. I made the side walk with my black marker and a ruler. I used a mask with a small circle to sponge in the moon with some daffodil delight and a bit of Cajun craze ink.





I stamped the broom and the pumpkin on some scrap white and colored and cut them out. I also stamped the sentiment on some white and cut it out. I added the sentiment to the card and then the pumpkin with some dimensionals. The main image piece is added with some dimensionals too. I finished off the card with some razzleberry satin ribbon bow.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Favorite Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge-What's Yours

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample


This week Karen had a fun challenge for us, Pick your favorite past sketch and make a new card with that sketch! Pick any sketch you like best, your all time favorite.

OK you know I had to choose this one, it was one Karen based on a card of mine and just for Sarah a "tilted" panel!!!



My card base is basic black, followed that with some rich razzleberry and the DS paper is from the Wicked Fun Specialty Paper pack. The center strip is more black and razzleberry and I used the fun new die, Tasteful Trim, from the Holiday Mini for the basic black strips across the middle.

My tag is made up razzleberry, basic black, and pumpkin pie. I stamped the cute little image from the "Fang-tastic" stamp set onto some watercolor paper. I added a jack-o-lantern and a bat from the same set. I drew in the sidewalk with my black marker. I colored the image with my aqua painter and ink pads. The sentiment is stamped with black stazon onto the bottom of the tag. I added a circle piece with basic black card stock and some glimmer brads in pumpkin to the tag and to the bottom of the card.

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.

Curtain Call....Happy Hallo-scream

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!! Hope you all had a great weekend, we had as return of Summer in these parts, miserably HOT!! I am ready and yearning for Fall, for the leaves to change for the temps to cool a bit, for all the sites and feelings that come with my favorite time of the year. Frankly I think I just need some comfort, to feel surrounded by things I love, like Fall.

On to today's post, I made these two fun little 2,4,6,8 boxes with the color challenge this week on Stacey's Stamping Stage. The colors this week are rich razzleberry, wild wasabi, peach parfait, poppy parade and very vanilla. I used whisper white as I didn't look at the colors again after starting this project and for some reason I had white in my head. I could have used vanilla just as easy but I was sure it read white, that is what I get for not looking!

I made my two boxes, one with rich razzleberry and one with peach parfait. I used the spider web embossing folder on the paper before putting the box together. The witch and the Dracula images come from the fun little "Fang-tastic" stamp set from the Holiday mini. I stamped the images onto whisper white card stock and used my ink pads and aqua painter to color them. I used wild wasabi to color in their faces and hands and the "counts" vest. I used razzleberry and peach parfait on the clothes. I added their cheeks with some Poppy Parade. I cut them out and used some foam tape to mount them to the punched out piece from the Extra Large Decorative Punch. I sponged each of the punched pieces with poppy parade ink. The sentiment is from the same set and I stamped with black stazon. I added some strips of DS paper from the Wicked Cool pack and the Level 1 Hostess Paper pack. I added handles to my boxes with some floral wire that I twisted and curled a bit. To finis I tied on a bow with some 1/8 inch rich razzleberry ribbon. I shredded some rich razzleberry and peach parfait paper to stuff in the boxes.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

SSSC86.......Witch way is the Candy?

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

This week we have another fabulous sketch drawn by Nancy McKinney:




My card has a 5 inch square base of basic black, I followed that up with some DS paper from the Wicked Cool Speciality Pack. The main image panel is made up of basic black and crushed curry that I sponged with cajun craze ink. I tore a bit of old olive cardtock for the ground. All the stamped images are from the "Fang-tastic" stamp set from the Holiday mini. I Love this set, it has all the cute-ness that I like about Halloween and none of the grime eerie stuff I don't like, altho I have come to like the sugar skulls that are really popular right now.

I stamped the witch onto some pear pizzazz card stock and cut her out. I then stamped her onto some of the DS paper and pieced her dress and hat. I mounted her to the circle image with some foam tape. I stamped the pumpkin onto pumpkin pie card stock and cut it out. The trick or treat bag is also stamped onto the DS paper and cut out. I stamped her broom onto some more mustard card stock and cut it out and added it to her hand. The bat is a MS punch! Isn't is cute? The sentiment is from the same set and stamped onto white and cut out and added with some foam tape.

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.
