Cheery Thinking of You Card

First of all Happy Halloween! You can see that I didn't post a Halloween card today..gasp! LOL  There are so many cute ones out there, I thought I would  post something totally different!

For this card I started by using the  Ink Blot Stamp Set for the background.  When you first look at this set you might not know what to do with  it. But with 7 different "ink blot" stamps the things you can create are endless.  I used Lemon Exclusive Ink and Tangerine Exclusive Ink for the background on the white card.

I used  Tangerine and Lemon white-core cardstock from Close To My  Heart on the side. Just by tearing the edge, you can expose the white core for a fun look.  I stamped the Tangerine ink on  the yellow cardstock.

I then took the new Thin Cuts Wreath Die and cut out a wreath and then I took the Wreath Stamp  and stamped the image.  I colored it in with  Shinhan markers that Close To My Heart has in their catalog. 

 I then took out our newest Cricut cartridge called  Flower Market Cricut Collection and cut out the cute little flowers also using the tangerine and lemon cardstock.   I attached them to the wreath and added some of my favorite Bitty Sparkles to center of the flowers.  Our Cricut collection not only has the Cricut cartridge that has over 700 images: shapes, borders, banners, titles, fonts and flowers but the collection also has three stamp sets and a package of cardstock!  So the sentiment is from one of those stamp sets! I then put some 3-D Foam Tape behind the  wreath and attached over the sentiment.

I had fun making this card. Thanks so much for stopping by. See you in November. Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Autumn Thank You Card

Today I am showcasing a cute stamp set called   Forest Feast.  It shows the cutest set of Pilgrims! There are five Thanksgiving stamps included in this set.

For the thank you sentiment stamp I used a set called Happy Heart.  This set also has five stamps in this set.  One of my favorite sets that I use all of the time!

The background paper that is used on the card is from the Enchantment Fundamentals Collection.  This collection has 24 - 12x12 sheets (two each of 12 double-sided designs).  These rich, deep colors make Autumn cards and scrapbook pages turn out beautiful!   In fact, because I needed to make some Thank You cards, I decided to use the same stamp sets on all the cards. The only thing I did was use different colors of the paper included in the above set.  See the picture below!

Isn't this fun!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great weekend and check back for more creations.  Hugs!

Embossed Christmas Card

Good Morning!  For today's card I am 
showcasing our October Stamp of the Month
called  Yuletide Joy.  This is a set of 7 stamps that include a star, stocking, present, bell and three Christmas sentiments. Click on the highlight link to see the set.  

For this card I used the Confetti Embossing Folder on a piece of white card stock.  I then took the Versamark Ink Pad and lightly ran it over the raised dots from the embossing pad. Then I sprinkled some Gold Embossing Powder on the dots and heat set it. 

Using the bell from the above Stamp of the Month,  I embossed that on a piece of white card stock.  I then added a larger Clear Sparkle to the bottom of the bell and then a couple of Bitty Sparkles to the middle of the bell. 

I also added a bow using the new Black Shimmer Ribbon from Close To My Heart.  I bordered it all in black card stock.  Remember if black isn't your favorite color, you can emboss it and just add your favorite Christmas color and ribbon.  You could even use the star or the present instead of the bell and one of the other Christmas sentiments included in the set.   Hope you enjoyed this and thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a good day!   Hugs!

Sympathy Card

Much to my dismay I needed to make another sympathy card.  It always makes me sad to have to make them but I just couldn't let the day go by without some sort of acknowledgment to this friend of mine. 

For this card I took one of the pocket cards from the Swan Lake Paper Packet and cut it out. 

 I then took out the Poppy mini-pigment ink from the Enchantment Exclusive Mini-pigment ink Set and some Clear Embossing Powder.  
Then I took a Sympathy Stamp from the Heartfelt Thoughts Stamp Set and using the Poppy Ink, I embossed the sentiment to the front of pocket card.



I tied some White Twine to the front, added a Clear Sparkle and then attached it to a piece of Poppy Cardstock and then attached to the card base.   I like how it worked so well with the pocket cards that are included in our paper packet. 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog. 

Hello!

The card for today is my take on a happy Hello!  Only using  the Raspberry Exclusive Ink Pad and the matching Raspberry Cardstock.    

The stamp I used is our super cute Little Leaves Stamp .  For the Hello sentiment I cut it out of the Raspberry Cardstock  using the Hello and Thanks Thin Cuts.

I also used the cute White and Gold Ribbon as well as the Gold Sequins Assortment to accent the card.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest creation!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Monster Birthday!

A fun card showcasing the brand new Monstrous Halloween Set.  Who says that you have to use it for Halloween?  This set also includes a birthday stamp for those cute little monsters that have a birthday in October! 

And the fun thing about this set is that you can purchase the stamp set separate or you can do a thin cuts bundle that you can use with your favorite die cutting machine to cut out the cute little monsters.  Check it out here:
Monstrous Halloween Thin Cuts Bundle.

The super cute monster paper and patterned paper is from the Jeepers Creepers Paper Packet.

  I stamped the little monsters with the Tangerine Exclusive Stamp Pad, Willow Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad and the Lagoon Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad.
Then to make them "shiny" I then took the stamps and stamped the Versamark Pad on the already stamped image and then sprinkled some Clear Embossing Powder on the top and heat set it with the Craft Heater .  

I went through my stash of embellishments and found the cute little eyes that worked just great!  That is the end of the workshop cards!  Hope you had as much fun looking as I did making them!  Hugs!
