Boo to You!

Hello! Switching to a Halloween theme for this card. As thoughts of fall come, I was thinking that I have not made many Halloween cards in a while. I was inspired by the Two Old Bats Halloween challenge which I have never entered but follow their posts. I pulled out some old stamps from my stash of Halloween themes and put together this simple design. I used a ghost, cat, spiders and the word Boo from the Mood Board from the challenge.  I stamped the ghost with black ink and heat embossed with Clear EP and colored with Copics on a white panel. I attached the cat that I had stamped, and heat embossed on Black scrap and fussy cut. I actually had made this cat for a previous project but had it leftover and found in my Halloween stash box.   Added some color to the cat with Gel pens and popped it up on card with some foam tape. I trimmed the bottom edge of panel with Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch and sponge on a bit of red ink. Finished with Boo stamp with black ink and added some spiders (plastic confetti) hanging from strings drawn on card with black gel pen. Placed the panel on some Orange CS that I had in my scraps. Used up some old supplies from my stash.

Card with a Tag

Hello!  I made this Christmas card with a tag that I attached to an embossed panel. With a few changes, I recreated the tag design in the same way (see post here from 2019) that I had made earlier with Gina K Designs stamps and dies and a Basket Weave stamp from Just for Fun stamps.  Had all the stamps since 2018/2019.   Used a bit of ribbon, twine and even a smaller tag on the tag. I embossed and inked a white panel with Darice EF Pine Branches before attaching the tag.  Finished with a card base of Fresh Asparagus CS and more GKD sentiments.

Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing a Birthday card that uses embossing folders and a focus on the sentiment. I was inspired by the sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches shown below.  I embossed a white panel with Cuttlebug Happy Birthday EF and attached to a Faded Brick card base from GKD. Added a Wicker Weave embossed strip of the same CS layered with a fancy cut Flower from GKD Watercolor Floral paper and some GKD Ephemera Leaves. Stamped GKD Sentiment from So Many Sentiments with Memento Potter's Clay ink on a flag die cut. Inked some of the edges with Copic marker.  Finished with some sequins from stash.  Another Birthday card for my stash.
