Creepy Crawly Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today I have a creepy crawly, yet cute Halloween card using several items available from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.

Even if you dislike spiders, you have to admit these spiders made using Halloween Night Enamel Dots are more cute than creepy. I started by stamping the web image from Spooky Fun across the top of my Whisper White card stock using Black Archival Ink. Then I stamped the little spiders as they creeped down from their web.

Using Elegant Eggplant, I sponged over the Whisper White card stock. The enamel dots were added on top of the stamped spiders and then I used a fine point permanent black marker to add their eyes. Here's a closer look...

The Pumpkin Pie card base was stamped using the brick wall image from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set. This is a great set which can add texture to your creations all year...not just for Halloween. To add a little sparkle, I added a strip of Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper across the bottom and finished with some Halloween Night Bakers Twine.

Have a SPOOKTACULAR day!

Autumn Jar of Love

YES! I think I am FINALLY back on track after my computer crash! I had an issue re-loading my old Photoshop program on my new computer, and that was how I edited all my photos before uploading them here. After creating a card and photographing it, it needed to be re-sized and my watermark added, so I had to spend some time learning how to do that with my new photo editing software. Now that I have figured it out, it's actually much simpler than before! Go figure! Anyways...hopefully I'm back to posting more regurlarly again.

This card using Jar of Love will brighten someones day for sure. With the Pumpkin Pie flowers and the rustic wood and knitted textures from the Serene Scenery DSP Stack it is perfect for this time of year. The background behind the jar also has some subtle texture from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set. If you love textures, then you need to add this set to your collection! As you can see, its not just for Halloween.

Thanks for visiting...have a beautiful day!

Ghoulish Spooky Fun

Here's a card using my top Halloween picks from the new Holiday Catalog...

The first Halloween stamp set that jumped out at me is the Ghoulish Grunge set...this was a must have for me! I love all the great textures that are perfect at Halloween...or all year long. I used the cheese cloth looking one stamped over the entire layer of Perfect Plum to create a spooky background.

After I stamped the background I was ready to add some fun elements using the Spooky Fun stamp set and the Halloween Scenes Edgelit Dies. I absolutely love the spooky looking tree die! The tombstones were easily stamped and cut using it's coordinating framelit. The moon was sponged and then some Wink of Stella was added for a touch of shimmer.

To finish the card I tied some of the new Halloween Night Bakers Twine across the bottom. I know I'm going to have lots of fun using these new products! These few items are only the tip of the iceberg of what is being offered in the fantastic upcoming Holiday Catalog!
