'tis the season


Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made to enter into My Pink Stampers Christmas Challenge.
I cut the mouse from Live Simply and chalked around the edges. The ornament he's holding is from a piece of decorative paper that I cut out. The tree is from Winter Frolic and I punched circles out for the ornaments and inked around the edges. The star on top is 2 different sized star punches that I layered together. To finish I stamped the sentiment, added some twine and a punched border strip. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Piglet Baby Card


FOR THE WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY POST SEE PLEASE SEE POST BELOW!
Happy Friday everyone! I did this card to enter into My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday challenge and Cricut 360's challenge. The challenge for Throwback Thursday is to use a Font cartridge and at 360 it is to make a baby card and dry embossing.
I printed and cut Piglet from Pooh Font using my Imagine. I used the Disney RGB codes to get the acurate colors and they can be found at Courtney Lane Designs on the top right side of her page. The background mat is a Nestability die that I embossed using the Cuttlebug Poka Dots folder. I hand cut the tag and stamped it. I attatched it with twine and added 3 gems to it. Super simple, but Oh so cute!
I also wanted to remind everyone of the Whimsical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop next Friday at 7 pm! You don't want to miss it! Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

WW Anything Goes Challenge


Good morning everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This time the challenge is "Anything Goes"  Create a card or project using anything of your choice.
Our sponsors this week are Prairie Bird Boutique and Cindy from Cindy's Little Creations. Prairie Bird Boutique has generously donated a Shabby Wrinkled Ribbon bundle of your choice and Cindy is giving away 3 of her SUPER CUTE digital stamps!
Speaking of Cindy's digital stamps, the one I used in my card is one of hers! How cute is that!!! She is such a talented woman and I just love all of her digi's.
I colored my image with colored pencils and chalk and then added Glossy Accents for highlights.I used wrinkle ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique and gathered it around the outside back of the image mat and mounted it to pop dots. I added a punched drippy goo border and added purple tinsel string to it that is also from Prairie Bird Boutique. I punched different sized stars out of glitter paper and added them to the side.
I hope you all will play along this week and don't forget to check out what the other amazing DT members have created. I can't wait to see what you'll create!

Broom Parking Here!



Good morning everyone! Here is the card that I made for M.A.G. Challenge By The Page. This time the challenge was to use Doodlecharms page 105 and only use the Cricut cuts from that page. You are free to use all the embellishments you want.
I cut the bear from Doodlecharms and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I also chalked around the edges and used a black pen for the outline. The hat, broom, and cat are all from the Disney Cuttlebug Halloween die and embossing set. This set is so cute and fun. I inked around the cat and broom and used a white pen for the highlights. I also used a silver marker to color the buckle on the hat. The sign I cut by hand and stamped it with a stamp from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting set. I used black floss to make the hanger for it and hung it from a brad. To finish I tied a ribbon and stamped the inside and added a strip of matching paper. I hope you all like my card and thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Halloween Z Fold Card



Hello everyone! I have a card to show you today that I did for fun. I love doing Z fold cards and this one was super fun to create.
I cut Frankie, the fence, the bats, and the witch from Happy Hauntings. I cut 10 layers of grass from the fence cut for the grass in front of the mansion. ( I know...I'm crazy! LOL!)  The mansion was cut from October 31st and I hid all the layers in my Gypsy to get the solid piece for the back. The sign I cut by hand and stamped it and the inside of the card with stamps from My Craft Spots Happy Hauntings set.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Treat Cup Card


Happy Saturday everyone! I am starting to get in the Halloween mood so I made this fun card. I cut the ghost and cat from Paper Doll Dress Up and stamped their faces with Peachy Keen face stamps. I did some highlighting on the cat with a white pen, white inked the edges, and chalked the edges of the ghost. I got these treat cups from Stamp'n Up awhile back and this seemed like a fun idea. I filled it with candy corn and mounted it to a scallop circle from the Lacey Circles Nestabilities set. I stamped the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting set and the crinkle ribbon is from Prarie Bird Boutique.
I am working on lots of fun stuff for the upcoming Whimisical Wednesday Halloween Blog Hop so make sure you come and see all the great projects we will have for you on OCT. 7th! Have a great day!

Peachy Keen Challenge #61



Hello everyone! I have a card today that I made for Peachy Keen's sketch challenge and Getting Cricky's Simple Sunday challenge. For the PK challenge you were to use the sketch and either twine or floss and for Getting Cricky's it is Halloween.
I cut the spider web and spider from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used distress ink and inked the web and added eyes to the spider with a white pen. I trimmed the mat around the web and inked the edges of the mat. I made a tag and stamped the sentiment with a stamp from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting's set. To finish I wrapped the twine around the card and added the tag.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!
