Spooky witch



Just a quick, simple Halloween card that I made. nothing to write home about.
it's a joy fold card, which you can find the tutorial for here
The card bases are basic black and pumpkin pie, the orange polka dotted DSP is from Micheals, the orange and black DSP is from SU's last year Halloween paper. I matted with old olive. I found this stamp set "all hallows eve" which I am in love with, the witch comes from that set. Topped it off with a paper clip and some black ribbon.

Birthday Princess

Here's a type of card I normally don't do, girly, girl. I'm quite happy with it though. Sometimes it's nice to step outside the box. Thought I would try out the paper piecing, I love it. I think it depends on the image you are piecing with.

Th's stamp is from Hampton arts and it's called Birthday Princess. Used silver and red stickles on the image. The DSP is "sending love??" from SU, image is matted on real red, card base is pretty in pink.

Punched out a few flowers, threw some bling in the middle and you have a princess card.

Tri Shutter cards

Guess what new tutorial I just tried? the "Tri Shutter". I can't find the actual tutorial that I used but here is one on SplitcoastStampers. If I do find the one I used I will change the link.

All supplies used are SU unless noted (or I forget)

The cherry card's base is Certainly celery, the DSP is Rock a billy, I stamped the cherries from Tart n Tangy with heat and stick powder and then used MS glitter, matted on real red.

Motorcycle card base is only orange, DSP is New Jersey Shore, inside mats are garden green and not quite navy. I stamped the motorcycles in garden green and not quite navy, used the colour spritzer with the same colours.

Card box

I don't normally post 2 in a day but I lost the instructions for this card holder and just came across them so I am going to post so I can give you the link . This is a perfect little gift to give someone filled with cards. That is where this one is going. It is filled with Halloween cards.

The box was made with old olive card stock, the DSP is last year's Cast a spell by SU. I used the scallop trim border with basic black card stock. The bat is from SU's Batty for you. The tutorial can be found here



Halloween Easel Card

Yes, more Halloween. I am sure I will get sick of is soon and will stop making Halloween for a bit. This is called an Easel card, I finally made one and am love with them.

All supplies used are SU unless noted.

The base of the card is old olive card stock, followed by a mat of elegant eggplant and then the DSP is from last year called Cast a spell.

I stamped the BOO from the Best Fiends stamp set in basic black on pumpkin pie, punched out with circle punch, then layered over Cast a spell, basic black, elegant eggplant. My sister was kind enough to give me some orange ribbon.

The tutorial for the Easel card can be found here
