Happy Halloween

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween early! Have a safe trick or treating night!

I showed my Silhouette card of the Moon with Stampin'Ups Lovely as a Tree with To You and Yours Christmas set and I have a customer wanting 20 cards made for Christmas. Tho the customer would really like to have a miniature stamped image of Santa with his sleigh across the moon so if anyone knows of a company that has one please let me know! ............so I will be busy for a while, you have to really try making this technique is so easy & fun.

Just Playin' Around

I wanted to try my hand at something different..........this was actually done with sponging and masking the moon. 1. Stamp sets.......... Lovely as a Tree and To You and Yours 2. Inks ......Apricot Appeal, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Basic Black 3. Uni-Ball Signo Pen for the snow

Keep on crafting and until next time..............

Rolling out the Halloween Cards

Wahooooooooo I've been on a roll makin' Halloween Card today!

These are made from K&Company Die Cuts Designer paper is Debbie Mumm

I had so much fun playing with these die-cuts there was over 200 pieces in the package.

I used a Stampin'Up set (Haunting Halloween) to stamp a verse inside each card

Trees & snowflakes in background, Stampin'Up-Trees Three 4. Verse, Stampin'Up- Trees Three 5. Designer paper, unknown 6. Snowflake Brads 7. Stampin Dimensionals, Stampin'Up I stamped off the Snowman and colored his carrot nose & scarf, outlined him in pale blue for dimension. Then stamped off the butterfly colored them in with Twinkling H2o's set a side to dry and cut them out. Stamp Trees on designer paper, stamp snowflakes with craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Stamp verse and layered it on designer paper. I layed out all the images to make sure it fit on the tag, using dimensionals sticky tabs on the wings of the butterfly replaced each one and tape snowman over the wings. Adding snowflakes brads last on the edges of the verse. Hope you enjoy my SnowAngel he was fun bringing into life! .............LOL

I've been seeing this set used and was inspired to use it today and adding some pumpkins from the Harvest Home Stampin'Up set in the regular catalog. 1.

Deco's for Soldotna Group

This Deco is for Donna Swaby a new member for the group........so I had to search thru my stamps for my Tea/Coffee stamps and liked my Impression Obessions stamps for this one........had to add a mini tag with Tea printed on it. I used designer paper for the background and stamped mini tea pots on it. (unknown stamp) Smudging Kiwi Kiss & Pink Pirquoette color around with sponge daubers from Stampin' Up. Stampin'Up markers and sparkle gel pens were used for coloring the tea mug. This Deco was made for Dody Tachick and she picked Old Days for her Deco. I found a old picture of the first Territorial School in Kenai Alaska in 1904 .........so that became part of her deco just adding a time piece from a ATC book and a expoxy sticker .........outlining the edges with Radiant Rains for sparkle
