Terrorific Halloween 2025

 Hello everyone, 

I'm back with my second Halloween card using the treat bags I picked up at the Dollorama.  This one was inspired by TGIF Challenge # 547.

I think this one is my favorite so far, but I do have another idea using this paper. Hopefully, I will have time tonight to finish it. The paper is very thin, so I did have to stick it to some cardstock in order to cut it. Once it was on the black cardstock, I cut it in 1 inch strips and then glued it onto another piece of black cardstock. I then placed it on a dark blue cardstock to highlight the pumpkins a tad better. I fussy cut the bat from another of the goody bags and stamped the saying from a Stampendous stamp set of Halloween sayings. 

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

Purple pumpkin 2025

 Hi everyone, 

Today I am sharing a couple of Halloween cards.  I have to admit, I don't usually do Halloween cards. I usually only do them for challenges, but I found some paper loot bags at Dollorama that I just had to do something with as they were so cute and colourful.  It made for a great card using two challenges this week.  The sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches # 708 was great for this pumpkin, and the colour challenge at The Color Hues challenge # 120 using purple and orange.

                                                      

I have another card coming up next using more of the pumpkins.  Please stay tuned...

International card making day 2025

 Hi everyone, 

I am posting my second card on International card making day. I still used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch # 706, but I added another challenge using the color challenge from TGIF challenge #545.

I colored the flower image using a combination of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers. The image is from a UK magazine.  I cased Linda Callahan's image from the Freshly Made Sketch blog.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day.

Unicorn dreams on International card making day

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am posting a card I made on International card making day.

I used the sketch from Freshly made sketch #706.

The image and border on top and bottom are from Hunkydory. The background paper is Michael's recollections paper.

I managed a few more cards since I sat in my craft space and played all day. It was glorious. I had so much fun. I will post the others soon. I hope you got to spend some extra time in your cardmaking space on Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Color Hues Challenge #118

 Hi everyone, 

Today I made a card for the Color Hues challenge #118. The colors for this challenge are smokey blue and sage green. I used the smokey blue for the sky and the sage green as the tree on this Find it Trading die set. The die comes with a dog, but it was too big. I chose a wood bunny instead to keep it natural. I embossed the background paper for a little more interest. 

I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Rainbow paws

Hello everyone,

I made this card today thinking of a friend that lost her pup to old age. As a pet parent of an aging dog, I dread that day. I made it using the Freshly Made Sketch #704. I embossed the clouds in the background, and then cut the paw die in rainbow colors. I was thinking of the paws walking to heaven. The sentiment is an old Stampendous stamp from a dog set. 

I hope you like the card and thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Color Hues challenge #117

Hello everyone, 

Today's card was made for the Color Hues challenge # 117 - Green and Orange.  I bought these great butterflies from the Dollarama a few months ago and I knew they would work for this challenge perfectly.  My struggle was actually incorporating the green. I looked around my room and found this great floral die from Sizzix. I felt like jazzing it up a bit and so I used the white paper from Sizzix Oppulent that has a sparkle effect (although you can't see it in the picture).

I am now working on a birthday card for a neighbor.  I hope you all have a fabulous day.  Thanks for stopping by.
