Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!  I am featuring another lovely card by Chari Hogsett to wish you a fun and safe day:

Chari stamped Creative Impressions stamp "Eat, Drink and be Scary" # M418 on a piece of orange cardstock.  She used deckle edge scissors to cut out the image and set it aside.  She then adhered a piece of plaid patterned paper to a black mat, then an orange mat and finally to a white card.  An owl                    was stamped in one of the plaid squares along with "Booooo" from Creative Impressions set # Y499 Halloween Haunting.                       .  

Once the mats were adhered, a piece of Orange/Black Double Stitched Ribbon (70960) was stretched between two Metal Loop Black Rounds (84455) that were attached to the base of the patterned paper piece using Orange Mini Rounds (90198) punched through the center of Mini Tropical Orange Spiral Clips (85007) .

The previously stamped sentiment was then adhered to the card on an angle and the card was done!

I think this sentiment is appropriate for tonight, so "Eat, Drink and be Scary" and have fun!  Happy Halloween!

Haunting Time is Coming!

 Hello Everyone:  Today I would love to share with you a fun Halloween card by Chari Hogsett:

Are  you ready for "Something Wicked" coming on October 31st?  This sweet card was created using Creative Impressions Stamp Q108.  It was stamped on a piece of orange cardstock and matted with a white piece of cardstock.  Four Black Spiral Clips (Primary Spiral Clips 85006) were added to each corner of the panel and a Tropical Green Round (Tropical Rounds Asst 90672) was attached to the center of the spiral clip.  Set aside.

A patterned paper piece was adhered to a lime green mat, then to an orange mat and finally to a white card.  To finish, foam tape was added to the back of the previous panel and the panel was then placed in the center of the card.  Easy!

Now it's your turn!

Happy Haunting!

 Hello Everyone!  I have one more Halloween card to share with you:

This easy card features Creative Impressions' Halloween Felt Shapes # 63110 (no die cutting necessary!)  I began by wrapping a piece of our Swirl Organdy Ribbon #70322 Dark Green with Dark Green, around a piece of patterned paper cut slightly smaller than a black card and then adhering the patterned paper piece to a black card.

I then cut a retangular black cardstock mat and adhered a piece of Orange 2" Web Ribbon #70181 over the top.  A Ghost and "Boo" from #63110 Halloween Felt Shapes were then added over the top of the Web Ribbon.  This piece was adhered to the left side of the card.

The sentiment from Creative Impressions Stamp # J361 was stamped on a scrap piece of white cardstock and orange ink was blended around the edges.  A slightly larger black mat was then added and the piece was adhered to the bottom right of the card.

Finally A piece of scrap yellow card was placed behind the Felt Jack'O'Lantern shape, followed by a black cardstock mat.  The Jack"O'Lantern was placed on top of the sentiment and the piece was complete!  Another cute and easy card to make!

Enjoy!

I will be taking a week off from blogging this coming week.  I'll look forward to sharing all these wonderful cards again the following week!

A "Batty" Halloween Card!

 Hello Everyone!  I confess that I am not a fan of the gory things I see at Halloween, only the cute things.  I love making cute cards that put a smile on peoples' faces instead of scaring them!  Here is a super easy card to make sure to put that smile on someone's face!

I started with a folded A2 standard card and adhered a slightly smaller patterned paper mat onto the card.  Then I cut another mat in purple slightly smaller still.  I die cut a circle into the purple mat (You could use a punch if you don't have a die) and placed a piece of Yellow 2" Web Ribbon behind the "moon" for added texture.  

I stamped the Happy Halloween Sentiment #Q230 on a piece of scrap white cardstock , trimmed it down and blended orange ink around the edges.  I then adhered the sentiment to a black mat and finally to a patterned paper mat.  The entire sentiment piece was then placed toward the bottom of the card.  (Note:  This stamp is an "Innie and Outie" so it has two sentiments which makes it more versatile).

Finally, three Felt Bats from our Halloween Felt Shapes #63110 were adhered to the  card.  I couldn't resist giving the bats some "googly eyes" to make them look silly.  So easy using our felt shapes.  No die cutting involved and super easy to put together!  You can make lots of these cards in just one day!

Enjoy!
