Dynamic Duos....Trick or Treat

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

In my last post I told you I haven't made many Halloween cards this year, but I am making it up! 

When I saw the colors this week on the Dynamic Duos Blog, I had to play along!

Pumpkin and Black, perfect for Halloween!

I pulled out my wide oval punch to make another Jack-O-Lantern. You all know I love to make these!

I punched three ovals with pumpkin pie card stock, I embossed and sponged the ovals and then assembled the pumpkin. The face pieces are hand cut all except the smile, which is made with the small oval punch.

  

The DSP is from the Stampin Up Scaringbone and Howlstooth paper pack and the sentiment comes from the Toxic Treats stamp set. 

I added some square brads from my stash, non SU, and turned them in different directions.

I love the little googly eyes, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by today

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Sweet Sunday.....Toxic Treats

Happy Sunday peeps!!

 Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. 

Love this sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I did change it up just a bit.

I haven't made a lot of Halloween cards this year even tho I do love to make them. My life has changed a bit since hubby's illness and me going back to work and finding time to make all the things I want has been hard. I am trying to make myself do a bit more, sometimes I just don't have the energy!! LOL!!

So anyway I decided to pull out the Stampin Up Toxic Treat stamp set for this card. 

The DSP is from the Howlstooth and Scaringbone pack.

The base of the card is basic black and I followed that with some tangerine tango and then the DSP.

I turned the bottom element of the sketch. I added some ribbon and put my "tails" out the bottom instead of the side.

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team has made with this sweet sketch:

Dynamic Duos.......Trick or Treat

Hello Peeps!!

Just popping in here quickly to share a card I made using this week's color on the The Dynamic Duos Blog.

Love this challenge, I am fast becoming a color challenge girl, still love the sketches but I find myself wanting to play each week with this challenge.

This week's colors:

Basic Black and Lucky Limeade with the dessert option of making it a Halloween project.

Right up my alley cos you all know I LOVE me some Halloween!!!

I pulled out my Stampin Up "Toxic Treats" stamp set, I hadn't played with this one yet so I was happy to get the chance to use it.

I stamped the main image onto my lucky limeade card stock with Basic Black craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then used my label framelits to die cut the image out.

I then built my tag using Limeade, black and gray card stock. I embossed my gray with the spider web embossing folder.

I used some retired DSP for the two pieces under the tag. I used some 1/2 inch striped satin ribbon, black and gray. I used the ribbon across the DSP and also on the tag along with limeade card stock and a piece of the DSP all cut with a "v" on one end.. I added some of the ribbon to the top of tag as well. 

The tag is mounted to the card with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from the same set and is also embossed. I cut the ends into "v's" and curled it a bit.

I added three silver brads, tho in the picture they don't really look silver,  to the top corner and called it done. 

One more Halloween card ready to send out!

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!
