Get Your Spooky On

Hi there!  It's been a few weeks since my last post and I'm happy to report that my Mom is doing much better these days.  While she doesn't have all the energy she used to, she is able to once again do those little things we sometimes take for granted.  Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers, my crafty friends!

I am not a big fan of Halloween; however, I received this stamp set as a free gift with an order I placed at Unity stamps.  I thought she was cute and not scary!  I managed to find two remnants of Halloween paper and made this card.

The image was colored with Copic markers and cut with a pretty frame die by Spellbinders (how appropriate to use Spellbinders with this stamp.  Get it?  Spells, witches?)  I added a touch of gold Stickles to the buckle on the hat.  The papers go back to my first days of crafting, so I've had them quite awhile!  The beautiful butterfly is from Reneabouquets.

For those who celebrate, have a safe Halloween.  These days, you cannot be too careful.  Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your kind comments.  I appreciate each and every one!  Have a wonderful week ahead!

World Cardmaking Day

Hi everyone!  Just a quick post today.  With my Mom being ill, I haven't had much time to craft but I did squeeze in some time to make a card since it was World Cardmaking Day. 

The layered stamp set, dies and inks are from Papertrey Ink--Winter Fox set.  The paper is Bo Bunny.  I used sequins, glitter glue and a fern punch to add for accents.  I did heat emboss some snowflakes on the oval background (which is a Tim Holtz die) but you can barely see them. 

I also used the tree stamp to decorate the envelope.  It was so relaxing to make this card and easy to do.

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by.  I appreciate your sweet comments.  Have a wonderful week ahead!
