Halloween Card


Here is an easy Halloween card I'm going to do for a beginners workshop I'm having in a couple weeks. I'm going to make a matching goodie bag also, but haven't work on that yet. Stay tuned....

I used the Autumn Apparitions set from the Winter Mini Catalog that comes out September 1st. This set is my favorite right now!! You can do so much with it!

I used my Scallop Punch and then cut out a pumpkin and cat and raised it up with dimensionals. I used Only Orange and Basic Black SU! Cardstock and Ink.

Thanks for looking!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

True Friend ATC's


Here are some ATC's I made. I used the True Friend Stamp set from the New Winter Mini Catalog that comes out September 1st. This set is sooo cute!!! I used Basic Black, Whisper White and Rose Red SU! Cardstock and Ink. I also used the Scallop Punch, 1 1/4" Punch, and then cut out the flower and raised it on a dimensional and put a brad in the center. The ribbon is from Mikes!

Thanks for looking!

1. First I changed the pink to red.
2. I used an SU! Set (Priceless) instead of the MFT set she used.
3. I changed the cb folder
4. Instead of the square tag that said thanks I used a circle.
5. Lasty instead of using a flower I used the Designer Label punch!

One Martini, Two Martini, Three Martini FLOOR!


OMG, don't you just love these two stamps?? I DO!!!! There from Inkyantics.com! One of my favorite drinks is an apple martini! YUMMMMY!!!

I used all SU! Cardstalk. Regal Rose, Gable Green, and Tempting Turquoise.

I used my scoring blade to ruff up the edges. Great technique huh?? Never knew you could do that! Worked sooo amazing! I then used a dauper with Regal Rose Ink on the edges. The ribbon is from a scrapbook store. Its so soft and pretty!! and matches soooo well with Regal Rose. I then added a few safety pins.

Okay so I've been dying for this stamp for FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it so much!!! Its by Stampendous! (did I spell that right??) haha. I colored it in with my Prismacolor Markers. Wish I had those awesome Copics, but man there a lot of $$$.

Anyways, this was made for todays sketch challenge on SCS. Four little boys came over yesterday and dropped over a dozen cookies to, shur me up! Isn't that cute? I'm gonna drop this card off to them today to say thank you!
