Happy Halloween!

I hope Michele doesn't mind me peeking in on her day!!   I feel a little guilty about missing my post this past week. . . I didn't get the usual stack of Halloween cards made this year but still managed a couple of items.

I completely {heart} Walzingmouse's "Midnight Feast" stamp set!!   I used it for my daughter's class's Halloween treats, and also for her teacher's card:

First, the treat boxes which I made using Stampin' Up's milk carton die:

It's a pretty small box but I managed to squeeze in a mini bag of M&Ms, Smarties, and a McDonald's gift certificate. 

I used Claire's stars and bats, and her spookalicious sentiment 

to decorate the boxes, punched a hole with Crop-a-Dile in the top

and tied it off with a black twine bow.

I also turned to "Midnight Feast" for her teacher's card:

This amazing paper is "Blackbird" from Memory Box

and "Midnight Feast" did the rest :^) . 

Here's the inside with the McDonald's gift card in place:

This set has so many amazing stamps, especially this Gothic arch!

And when you take out the gift card:

You find the witch zooming past the crescent moon :^) . 

I love making Halloween cards and missed it this year, 

but I know I'll have a bunch for next year using

"Midnight Feast."   It's fabby!!! 

Hope your Halloween was super spooky!!!

A Tag

Good Morning and Happy Halloween! I've got a little tag today. I made it using Claire's free download a while back. I usually don't do digi but she was so cute I couldn't resist. I colored her up with copics and then added tons of wild honey distress ink. I rounded the corners and matted her on some older making memories paper. Big ole bow on the top finishes things off. Thanks for stopping in!

True Strength

Posting a little early due to other obligations. All stamps are WMS and the background is Cuttlebug.

Merry Christmas

This card is made with the polka dots from Off-Beat Backgrounds and the Poinsettia image from Bountiful Baskets Additions. I colored and cut out the flowers, and then popped them up with foam tape. The A2 card is adhered onto a piece of 5x7 Scarlet Jewel (PTI) cardstock.

Thanks for looking!

All stamps are from Sewing Box Christmas. The border punch is Martha Stewart and paper is Basic Grey.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #19

Hi there! There is a new sketch up at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. Just click for details. I decided to use my Tiny Trees set. I heart this set so much!
I used a Kraft base (PTI) and some lovely Cosmo Cricket paper. I think its from the nutmeg collection. I strung some buttons on some rustic twine and stamped the sentiment underneath, then I added a rustic twine bow.
I was feeling extra crafty so I finished off the inside. I am really proud of this one! Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Tiny Trees

Sorry I missed Thursday again!  But I had great fun sitting down with Claire's Tiny Trees set tonight.  I was in the mood for using some patterned paper.  This time I chose Stampin' Up's luxurious textured autumn patterns.

"Paper piecing" with the tree shapes, 1-3/4" punched circles,
some sponging, some direct-to-paper ink application,
and lots of SU foam dimensionals. 
You can click on the photos and
(+) zoom in for closeups!

I used the little leaf stamps by stamping off the ink one time
so they were nice and light on the sentiment panel.

Cardstock is Papertrey Ink, and the ink used is
Memento rich cocoa and 

various fall shades of Versamagic and Memento.

Hope you're having a Happy Fall!

Thanks for coming by :^) .

It's Wednesday again! Sorry to miss posting last week...life is busy!

Today my card features Musical Backgrounds and Nutcracker Sweet, with a bit of gold shine!



The ribbon is some dyed seam binding from Etsy. I used Pure Poppy, Vintage Cream and Kraft Cardstock. The focal image is made with a Label 4 Nestabilitie, and the flourish that is gold embossed comes from Very Vintage Label 4.



Hope you're having a great week!

Fall Tree

Had fun trying to come up with a fall card with my Waltzingmouse stamps. I used Sewing Box Christmas to make this one. The background is a Cuttlebug folder on Coredination paper and then sanded. The fence is a Martha Stewart punch.

Driving By!

Hi there! I have a cute little Half Pint Hero card for you today! I used the little car and one of the wee faces. Adorable! I also used the cool zig zag background from Off Beat Back grounds. A little blue strip and some buttons for interest finish off the card. Thanks for visiting!

Running Behind

Hope to get a card up tomorrow or the next day. Have lost all track of time and totally forgot it was my day to post!

Teeny Trees......

Morning!

Today I have created a very simple Christmas card using 'Teeny Trees' 

I followed the sketch over at Watlzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog.

Thanks for looking & I hope you like :)

Sorry I'm Late!

Hi there! Forgot to post before I headed out of town for my SIL's wedding. (You can see a few pics on my blog if you are interested). Anyhow I have a cute little card featuring Teeny Trees. I stamped the little trees in brown. I added orange leaves. I used some crinkly green ribbon for grass. I inked up the edges in green. I added a sentiment in brown and glued the whole thing to green card ( I think its Bazzill). Thanks fro stopping in!
