Happy Haunting - A Scrapbook Page!

If you follow my blog you know that I am more of a card person than a scrapbook person...but once in a while I like to do a page.

Today's page is for Halloween!
I used:

• Graphic 45 Happy Haunting Collection
• Authentique Enchanted Collection

Close Up!

Don't you just love this cute little girl?

 I used a Martha Stewart Halloween fence punch to make the blue glitter fence.  I used blue gitter brads on the title. 

I really love this witch!  I die cut it from a Tim Holtz die.

The moon and clock were cut out from some of the happy haunting paper.

I hope you enjoyed my scrapbook page! 

Have a spooky Halloween!

Simple Halloween Cards Part 2

Hi everyone!  Here are some more "sticker" cards!

This is a fun little card.  EK has some cute 3-d  ghost stickers that I used.

I love the background paper with all the bats.  I'm not sure that the rosette works though :-(

This was a non-scary card.  I really did mean it for Halloween but it could be used for anything.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's a Happy Halloween! Card

Today's card is blingy and just in time for Halloween!

Close Up!
I love the clock design. The leaves around the pumpkin and the emerald green are just beautiful.

I love that they made the pendulum a pumpkin!  You can't see it here but I added glitter glue.

Hope you're having fun making Halloween cards!  Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Skulls Halloween Collage

I've been challenging myself to use papers that I ordinarily wouldn't pick (this being one).  I'm not a "skulls" person LOL but the black and white of this paper design kind of drew me in.

Close Up!
 I love using calendars!~

See you tomorrow!

The Littlest Pumpkins

I thought this was a really pretty card to make.  Its a littel daring and has some unusual colors (green, blue and lavender).

• I used a non traditional color (light blue) as part of my mat - it matches the small woman in the picture inset.
• I added a tiny clear gem for the lady's earring and some at the bottom of my card,

Close Up!

Hope you enjoyed this card!

All Hallows Eve - A Halloween Card

Today's card:

• black card base
• Graphic 45 papers
• orange ribbon
• Bling (The bling doesn't come out well in this picture. Take my word for it, it looks great on the card. There is a sparkle every time the card is moved!)
• glitter leaves from Frantic Stamper
• A glitter black cauldron from Jolies
• Tim holtz sticker words (Seasonal)

Close Up!

I love the little cauldron (Jolie's).  The words come from Tim Holtz.

See you tomorrow for more Halloween cards!

Time for Halloween Cards!~ Happy Haunting - I'm not Afraid!

Hi everyone!  I can't believe that the time has flown by!  It's almost Halloween and I've only made one Halloween card! Yikes!  So, I sat down today and made some fun ones!

I really love the Graphic 45 line.  I love their images and it reminds me of my childhood (yes, Im that old!). 

Close Up!

I was going to layer paper for the flames but thought I'd use jewels instead.

 I added some 2mm jewels on the candlestick to define the shape a little more.

Hope you enjoyed my card!  Come back again soon for more Halloween cards!

Girls at Play - a Precision Die Card

Today's card has a simple front but showing through is a stamped and colored image.

Close Up!

I wanted you to see the detail of this Frantic Stamper stamp:  four girls playing with dolls with beautiful scroll work around them.  It's really quite lovely. (I used distress ink pens to color them. I used the lighter colors.)

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Come back again for more inspiration!

To Be Continued - A Precision Die Card

Today's card is a faux collage card.  My card base is white cardstock.  I added a single sheet of patterned paper to the front.  I did die cut each piece separately.  It is really easy to die cut accurately and in the same place on two different pieces of paper with these dies. 

I offset the patterned paper so that half the window was outlined in white.  I added some typewriter key patterned paper on the inside of my card so that it would show through the windows.

Close Up!
I love the way this gold heat embossed stamp came out!

Hope you enjoyed today's card. Come back again soon!

Punk Joy Precision Die Card

Today's card is for those who love Steampunk as I do!

I used the 1.25 staggered three square die to cut out my windows.  I added these great typewriter key stickers (3-d) onto brass gears and adhered them inside my windows.  The card is ivory cardstock with a newspaper print front and stamped with a gears stamp.

Close Up!

I love the Tim Holtz key and clamp.

Come back tomorrow for more ideas!

Precision Die Cards - A Weekend of Ideas! Seashells

Hi everyone!

I love these new Frantic Stamper Precision Dies so much that I've decided (for now) to dedicate the first weekend every month to create with them!  So, stick around as I explore how wonderful these dies are and what can be done with them!  They are truly an "outside the box" tool!

Although this isn't the first weekend of October, I thought I would share some more of the cards that I've created with these dies.

Today's card is my very favorite.  It's called SeaShells.

My card is just one layer - the base card itself which is ivory cardstock.  I cut out my windows first and then embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  I used tea dye and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks to color my card. This inside is a blue fish patterned paper from Graphic 45.

Close Up!

I love the pearl and stitch border.  It goes really well with the shells.

This is how the card looks open.  I find that writing with a white pen works well.

Hope you liked my card!
Come back soon for more inspiration!
