Sweet Sunday.......Creepy Crawly Halloween

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!!

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

It is that time of the year when I want to make Halloween cards, and this was a fun and easy one to put together. I started with a base of Summer Starfruit card stock and then I used some Basic Black to mat my DSP, which comes from the Stampin Up Witches Brew pack.

The sentiment and the bats is from the Halloween Bash stamp set and the cute little Pumpkin comes from the now retired Spooky Bingo Bits.

I colored my sentiment using Black, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Starfruit markers. I matted that panel using my inverted scallop  nesties. The fence is a MS punch. I added a few black rhinestones at the top. 

Hope you like it.

Celebrate Halloween

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Finally some cool weather has arrived in my area and it feels like fall can't be far away! 

Love it!

Today I am sharing a cad I made using a couple of challenges first up is the Splitcoast Ways to Use It Challenge and also I used the Freshly Made Sketches for my layout.

The Ways to Use it challenge was an easy one: use Designer Paper, easy peasy, you all know I love the Designer Paper. This fun paper comes from the Stampin Up Witches Brew pack. the sentiment comes from the Halloween Bash stamp set and I used the single stamp called Off the Grid behind the sentiment along with some splotches that came with one of my Paper Pumpkin kits.

I used my Chevron Punch for the three black accents on the orange panel. I added a button with some twine and three black rhinestones to finish it up.

Be sure and come by tomorrow for my Sweet Sunday card made using this paper and sentiment. Here is a little sneak peek:

Thanks for coming by today

Happy Harvest Pumpkin Box

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

I am popping in here today with a quick share, I made this pumpkin box awhile back and realized I hadn't shared it with you all. 

Don't you love the "wood" look it has. I used some of the Stampin Up Natural Composition Specialty Paper.  I used this TEMPLATE for my pumpkin.

I decorated the top with some leaves, twine and curly "tendrils" made with the same paper the box is cut from.

This is a fun and easy box to make and it will hold alot of goodies, it would be great at each place setting on you Thanksgiving table. 

Hope you like it. thanks for stopping by today!

Splitcoast Color Challenge....Birthday Greetings

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made for my second week guest designing with the Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. 

Our colors this week:

Midnight Muse, Strawberry Slush, and Pear Pizzazz.

Tell me, what is there not to love about this combo? I can make my fave kind of card, anything with flowers!!!

I started off with s base of Crumb Cake and then some Pear Pizzazz DSP from a retired in-color pack and matted that with some white card stock. Next is some  Midnight Muse DSP from the Print Poetry Pack and I added a punched border to the edges of that using the dotted scallop ribbon punch.

The flowers come from the Secret Garden Stamp set and is stamped onto some rustic white card stock and then colored with my aqua painter and my Strawberry Slush ink pad. 

I cut out my base flowers using the Secret Garden framelit dies and cut out the next layer with my paper snips and added them over the base flower with dimensionals. I mounted my flowers onto a paper doily with a circle of crumb cake card stock layered in the middle. I die cut a few leaves using the same framelit dies and added them around the flowers. I added  a scrunchy triple bow with an antique brad in the center. 

I finished it all off with some large basic pearls in the flower centers and three regular pearls in the upper corner. 

Hope you enjoy my creation. Thanks for stopping by!

Splitcoast Color Challenge Guest Designer, Fall crafts and Christmas Tree Ornies

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

So sorry for being so quiet here on the blog lately, I thought I would pop in for a minute and share a card that I made for the Color Challenge this week at SplitcoastStampers.

I am guest designing with all the color ladies this month and it is so fun! I hope you will join us!

The colors this week come from the fabulous Vicki Dutcher, you can visit her blog All I Do Is Stamp or enjoy her beautiful Gallery Here.

The colors she picked for us this week are :

A Beautiful Blue Pallet, I was a bit nervous, since my stamping mojo has been on hiatus lately and I knew I wanted to make a card with flowers, my comfort zone!

I actually made two cards trying to make something I really liked, but when you have your heart set on flowers and the colors are blue you have to stretch the imagination just a bit...

I love these flowers regardless of the colors, the Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms are a perfect set in my opinion.

The sentiment is from the Wetlands set, another pretty set!

The second card I am showing you is actually the first one I made, very CAS.

Dont'you love this flower set? The Stampin Up Too Kind is another fave of mine this catalog.

I wanted to take a minute to show you the wood crafts I have been working on lately:

 

 

 

I have been selling these at a local store in my area and a few things to family and friends. 

I will also be taking order for my ever so popular Christmas Tree Ornaments 

Shoot me an e-mail if you are wanting some. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Zoo Babies.....Congratulations

Happy Monday Peeps!!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made awhile back and forgot to post here.

This was made using the fun Stampin Up set called "Zoo Babies".

I love the gray and yellow combo.

I started with a base of Basic Gray and then the next layer is the new Smoky Slate.

I then used another piece of basic gray and embossed with the Alphabet Press Embossing Folder.

I then sponged the embossed piece with some white craft ink.

The next layer is some Daffodil Delight and some Polka Dot Parade DSP. 

I stamped the elephant with Smoky slate and then again with Daffodil Delight and cut out just the ear and  added it to the image with a dimensional.

The main image is mounted onto a Smoky Slate Die cut from the Delicate Doilies die.

I added some Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon and some Daffodil Delight Candy Dots!

The sentiment comes from the same set and is stamped onto some white card stock and curled and flagged at both ends. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Sunday.....Hello Pumpkin

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!!

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

I just had to use this sweet little Pure Innocence stamp I ordered awhile back.

I love this line of stamps and yes, sometimes I stray , but the rest of the elements on the card are from Stampin Up.

I started with a base of Chocolate Chip card stock and then all the DSP on here is from the fun "Sweater Weather" paper pack.

I used it to paper piece my little girls clothes and bow. I even paper pieced the jack-o-lantern face that is on her shirt, which is a separate stamp so she can be created without it for non Halloween cards, love that.

 How sweet is she? I mean seriously!!

I colored the rest of her using my copic markers. 

I added a button and some twine to the corner and then added my sentiment flag.
