Happy Halloween!

PW's color challenge

We had another color challenge hosted by Laurie over at the Paper Wings website today. I actually created a card on the day the challenge was posted which is unheard of! LOL She challenged us to use the colors Orange, Black, & White.

I pulled out an image & sentiment from a TAC retired stamp called
Trick or Treat (2005/2006 catty) and paired it with an image from the Friendship Strips stamp set. I colored the image using Copic markers, added some ribbon, and some foam tape for a little added dimension.

 

Supplies:
Stamps:     Trick or Treat & Friendship Strips
Paper:     US white, orange & black Bazzill
Other:     Palette Noir & Versamark ink, Copic markers, & ribbon. 

 

Thanks for looking :)

I actually used TAC stamps that aren't retired!

Well technically I guess I did... the sentiment is from a retired set called Chicken Scratch but I also used TWO new sets :) Well new only because I've haven't shared a creation on my blog using them. The butterfly is from a set called Wishing Happiness and the stripes on the bottom of the card base is an image from Friendships Strips.

Thanks for looking! 

Supplies:

Stamps:  TAC's Wishing Happiness, Friendship Strips, & Chicken Scratch
Paper:      US white, Bazzill purple & black CS
Other:      Palette Noir & Lavender Sachet ink pads, Copic markers, B&W ribbon

Possible Christmas card...

Usually I start making holiday cards during this summer months but this past summer I was preoccupied with moving that I made very few. So this year since I'm getting a late start I'm looking for quick & easy designs that can be whipped up in no time. This card certainly falls into that category! 

Supplies:

Paper: White & Turquoise cardstock, MME patterned paper
Stamps:         The Angel Company's Hello Snow
Other: Colored Pencils w/OMS, Stickles, Floral embellishment & a button

Thanks for looking! 

I missed out...

on all the World Card Making Day celebrations :(

I hope you all had a crafty day yesterday. I did however get a chance to create a card today...

Fall has reared it's head here in Maryland. I really love this time of year! I pulled out a retired TAC set called Pressed Petals to create this card. I stamped the card base using Versamark ink and chose a few "fall-ish" colors for the main image. I added stitching along the top of the focal image to add some texture, and tied some ribbon around the card base.

 

Supplies:
Stamps: The Angel Company: Pressed Petals
Paper: Orange, white, & brown cardstock
Other: Brown & white sheer dotted ribbon, white thread, & Palette Ink pads
