Happy Halloween

I had to make a Frankenstein card for a mingle aka swap so decided to use that for my card for Bret and our oldest granddaughter as it was such a cute image. I started with a layer of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 80 lb. Cover Smooth white cardstock stamped my image from Franken Josh stamp set by Aki Fukuoka & Sparkle Creations with Lawn Fawnamentals premium jet black ink and colored with Copic Markers then restamped with VersaFine Clair nocturne ink then masked my image and using distress ink hickory smoke with DIY stencil of clouds and distress ink Pumice smoke for pebbles and Erin Lee Creative blending brushes then die cut my layer with Double stitched rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness. Mounted it on a die cut layer with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A of Park Lane 110 lb. smooth black solid core cardstock then stamped the bats with VersaFine Clair nocturne ink from Happy Halloween stamp & die template set by Stephanie Low & Spellbinders and finally finished my card base with Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 120 lb.

You're wicked cool

I was working on cards for my donation box to Gray Matter Foundation so I used one of the folds the SU people like to do to showcase their DSP as it's double sided and since I was using one of their old paper packs and I wanted to finish the whole pack it was a great way to kill two birds with one stone a nice way to make plenty of cards and showcase the paper. I started by cutting my base out of Park Lane 110 lb. smooth black solid core cardstock plus another strip of black which I embossed with one of the folders from Midnight haunting set by Cuttlebug Cricut then cut my DSP deciding which side would go on the inside and outside the paper pack was Creepy crawly, for my white on the front and inside I used Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 100 lb. Cover Smooth white cardstock. The halloween girl was stamped with distress ink hickory smoke and the message with VersaFine Clair nocturne and it's from color layering moonlit night stamp set

Hello Fall

Saturday was World Card Making Day for us card makers it's the perfect excuse to spend the day making card that hopefully will be given away. This day was created in 2006 by Paper Craft Magazine I believe and it was so we could have our holiday cards done ahead of time or to have them done. Since then it has always been the first Saturday in October.

I made Halloween & Fall cards not Christmas cards guess not in the mood for Christmas yet even if it's the best holiday ever LOL and since we are in Fall that is what I want to do right now

These were very simple cards base Recollections 110 lb. white cardstock the rest from my stash but I got them at JoAnn so they probably are Core'dinations; the die is Hello steel cutting die by Elizabeth Craft Designs cover with Spectrum Noir sparkle Crystal clear glitter brush and then glossy accents by Ranger
