Boo To You


Supplies:
Stamps: Pretty Pink Posh Ghost Friends, Taylored Expressions Simply Said Halloween
Paper: Gina K White, SU Basic Black, Gorgeous Grape
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Pretty Pink Posh Ghost Friends Dies, SU Matte Black Dots, Gina K Decorative Tag Set, Memory Box Ghost Trio, SU Cobwebs Embossing Folder, Ribbon-Stash, May Arts Twine

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches.  
For my card I started with the background.  I partially embossed the cobwebs, and added a ribbon treatment to cover up the seam this created.  For the tag I didn't know what color to make it.  I had a white, orange, and purple tag cut out and decided to go with the purple.  I adhered the ghosts on the tag and it needed a lil' somethin' somethin'.  So I added some matte black dots.  I thought about using a fine line pen to make them look like spiders, but I decided against it.  I added some ribbon to the tag and made a twine bow to finish off the ribbon.  I finished the card by popping up the tag and adhering the layers of the card together.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment and some ghosts.  

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I started with the trees.  I didn't have regular trees like she used, so I used my birch tree die cut.  I usually use these with winter/Christmas cards, but I thought I'd try it for Halloween too.  Then I cut a piece of cardstock to fit behind the trees.  I ink blended a black background leaving the upper right lighter in color to show the brightness of the moon as the witch traveled through.  I adhered the ink blended piece behind the focal panel and adhered the witch in the corner.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and adhered it to the card.  Next I attached some ribbon that I found in my stash around the bottom of the card.  For the inside of the card I added the with and Happy Halloween die cuts.  And that completes my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal panel.  I stamped the branch circle border with my Misti.  Then I used one of the dies from the Encircled in Nature dies to cut out the center of this circle.  Next I embossed this layer with the Snowfall embossing folder.  Then I cut out a layer to put behind the focal point.  On this layer I stamped the evergreens, and adhered it behind the circle.  I wanted to add some more evergreens so I die cut the evergreens and adhered them to the focal panel.  For the sentiment I stamped and die cut it, wrapped some twine around the focal panel, and popped up the sentiment onto the focal panel with some dimensionals.  For the inside of the card I stamped the branch circle and stamped the sentiment inside.  To finish it off I added some die cut evergreens.  And that completed my card.

Hello Stampers!  I missed making a card last weekend!  But I am back this weekend with a card that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:
For my card I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 4 x 5.25 and then die cutting the snowy background in the center of this piece of cardstock.  Then I die cut the trees and trimmed it to fit behind the snowy background.  Next I assembled the gnome and tucked him in between the snowy background and the row of trees.  I put a light blue cardstock behind this piece and stamped a sentiment.  To finish the front I adhered the focal panel to the card base.  For the inside I used that snowy background again with the blue background and added a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
