Happy Halloween

Hi there, crafty friends! Carrianne here sharing a spooky Halloween card using Spooky Sightings Stamp Set from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

I began by stamping the images with Versamark ink on a panel of black cardstock. I then heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder to achieve a no line coloring effect, and then colored them with Prismacolor pencils. I added some gray shading to the bottom of the image for more depth.

The sentiment is from the Jack of All Faces Stamp Set from the latest release. It was stamped and heat embossed onto black cardstock using white embossing powder. I fussy cut it out and then popped it up onto foam strips for dimension.

The panel was cut with the You've Been Framed Layering Dies and adhered to a purple card base. To add some needed sparkle, I added purple sequins.

Boo! I Can See You

Hi there friends! It's time for a new challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. As you know, it's always anything goes, and our generous sponsor is All Dressed Up. They are offering the lucky winner two digital images from their shop. I sure hope you play along with us. Have fun and good luck!

My card is featuring All Dressed Up, Boo! I Can See You digital image. 

I printed the image in Neenah #110 and colored it with Copic markers. I cut the images out individually and used a stitched circle for the sentiment. 

The background was created using Distress Oxide inks and I used a water brush to move the color around. I splattered some purple inks for added interest. 

I adhered the images to the panel with foam tape for dimension and added purple sequins to complete the card. 

Thank you for dropping in today. Have a fantastic day!!

I'm All Tied Up For You

Hi, crafty friends! I am very excited to share my first card with you as a member of the Polkadoodles Design Team.

Please make sure to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the design team. 

For my first challenge, I had to choose between creating an Autumn card or a Halloween card. I chose Halloween, as I love scary things. I have created a cute, not-so-scary card featuring the Mummy Boo Halloween digital image. The sentiment is from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and then cut it out using my Scan N Cut machine. The background was created with distress oxide inks using the smooshing technique. I finished the card with purple sequins.

Copics used:

Skin: E000-00-11-02

Mummy: W3-2-1, BV000 

Hair: C6-5-3

Thankful for Friends Like You!

Hi friends! My card was inspired by the Countdown to Halloween Hop on Instagram. This week, the theme is the pumpkin patch. 

My card brings back childhood memories of taking a trip to the pumpkin patch and picking out pumpkins with my family. I found this image in my Digi files and I thought it was perfect for this theme. 

I printed the image on Neenah #110 and colored it with Copic markers. The panel was cut with The Rabbit Hole Designs, You've Been Framed Layering Die Set, and adhered to an orange card base. 

The sentiment is from Newton's Nook, Fall Friends, and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on the panel directly. I used orange sequins to finish the card. 

Thank you for dropping in with me today! Have fantastic day!!

Autumn Blessings

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to our October Challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.

Our two generous sponsors this month are Rachel Ann Miller (RAM) and Star Stampz. As always, the theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist, which is the Colors of Autumn, perfect for the change in season. Take a walk and maybe you will be inspired by what you see. 

For my card, I opted for the twist and created a delightful fall wreath card using the Alex Syberia Designs Holiday Wreath Branch Stencil & Die Set. I blended some fall colors using the 4-piece layering stencil and then die-cut it out using the coordinating dies. 

Next, I used a stitched square die set and a 5.5" panel on cranberry cardstock and another 3" on white cardstock and dry embossed it using the WOOD folder. I then cut a green mat slightly larger than the center panel and adhered them all together with liquid glue. To give the wreath and bow more dimension, foam tape was used to adhere them to the panel. 

The sentiment is from a set and was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock. I cut it out using a sentiment strip and adhered it with foam tape. To complete the card, green sequins were added.

Be sure to head over to the Blog to see the wonderful inspiration from the amazing design team. I can't wait to see what you create. Good luck to you all!

Thank you so much for dropping by. Have a fantastic day!!

Costume Pumpkins Halloween Card

Hi there, crafty friends! It is time for the October Colorful Options Challenge. This month's color theme is orange, but if you're not as excited as I am, then you could use the rainbow option. 

Today's spooky, sweet Halloween card features two products from companies that have closed their stores, but that doesn't stop me from having fun with them. 

I love pumpkins, but I especially love them dressed up in their costumes. The pumpkin mummy is my absolute favorite. Which one is your favorite? 

The images from Pawsome Stamps, Costume Pumpkins, were stamped and then colored with Copic markers. The images were cut out with my Scan 'n Cut machine. 

Next, I blended some Distress Oxide inks onto a panel to create a fun background. I die-cut the Heffy Doodle Metric Storyboard Backdrop Die onto black cardstock and adhered it to the background panel. This was then adhered to a black card base. 

After using my anti-static tool, the sentiment was heat embossed with black embossing powder. I assembled the images onto the panel and added orange sequins to complete the card.

Thank you so much for dropping by. Have a Spooktacular day!!

Happy Halloween

Hey, crafty friends! Carrianne here, sharing with you a wicked fun Halloween card featuring the Jack of All Faces Stamp Set. 

I began with a panel of orange cardstock, and then used the Beam of Light 4x8 Stencil and ink blended with Distress Oxide Wilted Violet using the Cottontail Blending Brush to create this wicked design. Next, I cut it using the You've Been Framed Layering Dies and adhered it to a purple A2 card base.

I then stamped the pumpkins, colored them with alcohol markers, and then cut them out using my Scan N Cut machine. I popped the pumpkins up with foam strips for dimension. I felt that it needed something more, so I decided to use another set from The Rabbit Hole Designs, the Spooky Sightings Stamp Set. Two of the spiders from this set were stamped and colored, then cut out. The spiders were adhered to the panel with glue. 

The sentiment is from the same set. I prepared a piece of black cardstock using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool, then inked the sentiment with Versamark ink. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder and trimmed then popped up with foam strips for additional dimension. The card was completed with a few purple sequins for added interest and sparkle.

Thank you for dropping in today. Have a Fantastic day!
