Spooky Halloween Tree

Hi everyone, how have y'all been? I've really missed you gals!! I have a ton to do to get caught up since I haven't been crafting but I'm feeling better now and can't wait to dive into it!! In the mean time how about another archived card for a little spooky fun??

This little card was fairly easy to make. I started off with a charcoal A2 sized card base and stamped the teeny star background in black then stamped a row of candy corn at the bottom. I set that aside and cut a white and lavender panel (I edge punched the lavender panel). I stamped the large winter tree onto the white panel and colored in the trunk with a black marker then added the sentiment and accents (friendly bat and the web & spider are from the Halloween Stamp Set). Using a sponge and a grey Momento ink I added color to the white panel and the card base. After layering the white and lavender panels together I added a length of orange ribbon and adhered it to the card base just slightly off centered then finished it all up by adding a little purple button.

See, easy peasy, right? I just love this little tree for it's uber versatility. I've made spring, summer, winter and Halloween trees with it...what a great stamp to have in your collection!

BOO!!!!!!

Hiya everyone! :)   Did you hop along with us this past Sunday and see all the wonderful Halloween creations? Well, just in case that wasn't enough for you, I have another little Halloween cutie for ya!

I started out by making my own patterned paper. Using a purple Momento ink, I stamped the harlequin border covering my piece of white cardstock. Then using the same ink and a wadded up square of felt I colored/distressed the whole thing. I switched to Versamark ink and heat embossed the winter tree and spider web from the Halloween set . I added a couple of strips of left over patterned paper I had from the blog hop cards and a bright length of ribbon to perk up the whole card. I was originally going to stamp my sentiment between the tree and ribbon but at the last minute decided to make a little tag instead. I love the result :)

 

I'm entering this little creation over at Jo's Scrap Shack.

 

This week she's asking for our favorite technique. Well, that's at the top of my fun meter! ;) We all know that would be stamping! I just love stamping and finding new ways to use images. If you know me, you know I definitely don't toot my own horn, but I do have to say that I'm pretty darn good at stamping in general and have a knack for making my own patterned papers.

I'm also entering in the challenge over at The Ribbon Carousel

Their theme is Fall/Halloween :) Well, since I already submitted a card that was a Fall theme, I thought I'd submit a fun Hallooween card too! 

 

An apple a day

When I think of fall time I think of apples...well, a certain carmel covered apple from a little Mom & Pop store here in St. Louis, but it's still an apple, lol ;)

 I decided to make another little buckle card like I made for Halloween. It's an easy to make interactive card. There really are no measurements, it's all eyeballed.

I used a leaf from the elegant floral stamp set along with the solid apple from the apples and pears stamp set to make the large winter tree filled with yummy fruit ready to pick.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

There's a little surprise inside

Wow, I have more Halloween cards than days before Halloween, oops, lol! Well, that just means ya'll have to put up with me showing you yet another card today! ;)

This is a little buckle card that I like to make. It's fun because there really are no special measurements...it's all just basically "eyeballed". The only measurement is a panel to cover the back so the ends of the two little flaps are covered and pretty. Hope you enjoy....

 

 

I haven't used this little layout in forever...forgot how much fun it is. Thinking I need to break it back out, what do you think?

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here tomorrow with my final Halloween card!
