Sweet Sunday......Witch Way

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is our fab sketch for this week:

I love a sketch with a nice circle element.

I decide to make one last Halloween card, I love this sweet little witch from the 

Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later stamp set.

I stamped her out and colored her with my copic markers.

I love her sweet face and pretty big eyes, she is not scary at all.

I do love her hair here done in grays and black, definitely witch wouldn't you say?

I keept my card fairly simple but I had to use my new Sleigh Ride edgelits, for my "haunted houses", they are so cute!

The DSP  here is surprisingly not from the Halloween paper this year instead it is a fun piece from the Sweet Lil' Things paper pack.

Be sure and hop over to the Sweet Sunday Blog

and see what the rest of the girls did with this sketch!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Crazy 4 Challenges...Trick or Treat

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Time for a new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.

This week our challenge is:

Costume Fun-Images of kids, animals anyone in costume!

I pulled out my Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later set to use on my card.

Love this little witch image and she is so fun to color.

I stamped her with my Black Memento ink onto some Naturals Vanilla card stock and colored with my Copic Markers.

I did the same with the Pumpkin image and stamped her hand again so I could have an extra frog for my little Halloween scene. The face on my pumpkin is from the retired Fall Fest stamp set.

I fussy cut all these out and added them to my circle.  

The Spider and the Sentiment are from the Stampin Up Howl-O-Ween stamp set.

The base of the card is Basic Black and then I a layer of the Naturals card stock.

The DSP on here is from the Happy Hauntings paper pack.

I drew in the string the spider is hanging on with my Black marker.

I added two tiny pearls to the spider for eyes.

I then used a few rhinestones and little pearls for a bit of bling!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Freshly Made Sketches......Trick or Treat

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at 

Freshly Made Sketches

I was inspired by THIS primitive card by Laura Mellinger to try my hand at a "prim" card.

Most of you know I a huge fan of all things prim and all things Halloween.

My "prim card" did not turn out nearly as cute as Laura's but I still like it.

I used the little witch image from the Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later stamp set.

I love her, she is so cute even if she is not prim,

I used DSP from the Sweet Hauntings and from the Sweet Lil' Things paper packs.

I think I should have sponged my card some to prim it up more.

The sentiment is from the Howl-O-Ween Treat stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Crazy 4 challenges.....BOO!

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Time for a new challenge at Crazy 4 Cahllenges.

It is the third Saturday of the month which means it is a sketch challenge. here is the sketch this week:

Very cool huh?

I am still playing with my Stampin Up Halloween set called Haunt Ya Later. 

This time I used the cute little Dracula.

He is adorable, I think and not frightening at all.

I stamped him with Memenot Black ink onto some Very Vanilla card stock and colored with my copic markers.

I fussy cut him out and set it aside to make the rest of the card.

The base of the card is Basic Black and then a layer of Very Vanilla and a piece of DSP from the Happy Hauntings DSP. Love this piece with the stars!

I added another strip of the DSP across the top, this piece is really cute too with it's jack o lantern faces.

The Boo and spider are die cut using the Boo to You framelits that co-ordinate with the Howl-O-ween Treat stamp set.

I die cut the Boo with the new Black Glimmer paper, love it!!

I added the spider which is a stamp in the Howl-O-ween Treat set using some of the silver thread and a couple of glue dots, tucking it in behind the Boo.

Be sure and head over to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog to see what the rest of the girsl did with this fun sketch!

Freshly Made Sketches.....Happy, Happy Halloween

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I always love their sketches and this one is no exception.

Ya'll know I love  Halloween  and that I love making Halloween cards, altho I have tried to cut back a bit on them cos they are not big sellers.

But I could not help myself with this one, I am crazy about this stamp set, it is the Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later set and the images are just too cute. I love this little witch,

I stamped her onto some Naturals Vanilla card stock with Black Memento ink and colored her with my copic markers,

I started out making my witch a blonde but quickly changed it up to a brunette when coloring cos I thought the blonde was not showing as well.

I fussy cut her out and then set her aside to make the rest of the card.

The base of my card is Basic Black card stock and then a layer of Old Olive that is embossed with the Chevron EF. 

This piece I found in my stash when looking for my Old Olive piece so I just went with it.

The piece of DSP is from the Happy Hauntings paper pack, I love the bats on this piece. 

The sentiment is stamped with more Black Memento ink and comes from the Sweet Hauntings set, I masked off the surrounding edges to just use the sentiment.

I added a strip of the new Black Glimmer paper across the bottom of the vanilla panel.

The little witch is added to the panel with dimensionals.

The panel is then added to the base with more dimensionals, I am telling you dimensionals are your best friend in card making!!!

I am happy with this card, I think that little witch with the frog is adorable!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Here is the fun sketch for this week:

I pulled out my new Stampin Up Haunt Ya Later stamp set.

I love this little witch from the set and I stamped her onto some Naturals Vanilla card stock with Black Stazon

I watercolored her using my aqua painter and ink pads. I used black, Wisteria Wonder, Tangelo Twist , Crushed Curry, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, and Blushing Bride inks.

I stamped her twice and colored the frog and star to cut out and pop up.

She is fussy cut out and added to my die cut circle with some dimensionals.

The sentiment is stamped and cut apart and mattted with a bit of Tangelo card stock.

I added a few sparkly black rhinestones (non SU) for the finishing touch.

Creative Challenge with Wendy

Happy Friday Peeps!

A couple of weeks ago I received a card in the mail from my friend Wendy 

at WeeBeeStampin4Fun. 

As you all know we do a monthly challenge and that card had the contents of our new challenge.

She sent me the clear boxes and said to decorate for Halloween!

I was excited cos I LOVE Halloween!

I got busy this week on the challenge, 

I had finally got some new goodies from the Stampin Up new mini. I was excited to use some of the Halloween items I had ordered.

On these three boxes you can see something from each of the three Halloween sets I got.

First up is my fave set, I LOVED it the instant I saw it.

It is called Haunt Ya Later and has some fun images to color.

I stamped this little guy and colored with my copic markers.

How cute is he???

The sentiment is from the same set.

I stamped it with Wild Wasabi ink to match Dracula's complexion

Next is the Howl-a ween Treat Set. 

Isn't that owl so cute? 

I stamped it with Black ink onto some Very Vanilla card stock, the Jack-O-Lantern is stamped with Tangelo Twist ink. These images are cut with the matching framelits.

All the DSP on these are from the Happy Haunting paper pack.

My last box contains and image, the cat, from the Haunt You Later set and the tag is from the Sweet Hauntings stamp set.

I added some black frayed out ribbon to the tag.

Hope you enjoyed this installment of our Creative Challenges and be sure to hop on over to 

Wendy's Blog  to see how she decorated these cute little boxes.
