Trick Or Treat!

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I'm back today sharing one last Halloween project for this season. 

Halloween and Christmas are definitely my favorite holidays to craft for so while I'm sad my Halloween crafting is coming to an end for this year, I'm happy Christmas crafting is right around the corner!!

Here is a look at the fun treat bag that I created to share with you today:

I started by creating my bag by using a Scallop Caddy die from Jaded Blossom and some bright patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs. Once I had my bag assembled, I set it aside and started working on my focal piece. I printed out this cute digital stamp from Digi Doodle Studios called, Pippa Pumpkin Phantom and colored it with my Copic markers. I fussy cut it out using some scissors and popped it up onto two circles that I had layered together. I added my circle piece onto the front of my bag and added a sentiment that I trimmed out from the patterned paper pad underneath. I added a few white dots onto the banner that the little ghost is holding, and placed some star confetti pieces and a few Nuvo drops around him. I finished my bag with a fun double bow.

I placed a small velcro dot to the inside to hold the box shut.

So adorable!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Ghost: BG0000, BG000, RV000--

--Pumpkin: YR02, Yr04, YR14, YR18--

--Banner: Y13, YG05, RV17--

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day so far!
I wanted to pop in real quick and share this super cute Halloween card that I made with a few challenges in mind!

Here is a look at the card...

This card is so fun! I purchased this die a couple of years ago and never got around to playing with it! I actually forgot all about it until I was trying to organize one of my stamp bins, came across it and knew I needed to play with it right then! The fun thing about this die is that the head is adhered to the card but the body hangs on the foam circle holding the head so the body actually swings! I could not get a picture or video of it, I tried and tried but none of them came out. I am so sorry about that!

I created my card by covering my A2 top folding card front with some Halloween themed patterned paper. Once it had it covered, I die cut a piece of green patterned paper and added that to my card front as well. I created my little Dancin' Grim, added him and placed a sentiment strip underneath him. I added some confetti stars, Nuvo drops and a bit of doodling and finished my card with some black cording tied into a fun little bow. 

The challenges I would like to play along with are:

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I'm so happy to be back as a guest designer for Digi Doodle Studios!

Digi Doodle Studios is a digital stamp company that has some of the cutest images!!  There is so much versatility with how big or small you want your image to be with digital stamps, not to mention the storage space saved in my craft room lol!

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

Isn't this image, Snowdrop & Niblet, so cute?

I started by creating a white A2 top folding card and covering the front with some snowflake patterned paper. I colored my Snowdrop & Niblet image with my Copic markers, fussy cut it out and set it aside while I worked on my card. I used a scallop frame die to cut out my frame, cutting the outer scallop portion out 3 times to give some dimension. I placed the inner frame onto my card front and layered my Snowdrop and Niblet image on top. I created a hill from some stitched border dies, stamped my sentiment and adhered it to the backside of my scallop frame. I added my frame to the front of my card and added a bit of glitter to the hills and leaves. I decided to do a little fussy cutting to the present for a little interest so I found some patterned paper that coordinated with the colors that I had colored my image, ran it through my printer, cut it out and glued it to my present. I finished my card with a bit of hemp cording that I tied into a bow and some white gel pen accents.

 

I think this is just adorable!! I can't help but smile when I look at this cute image!

Bunny: W0, W1, W3, R000, R00, R01

Here is a look at the cards that I created...

Cute right?? I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it!

First I created my card front using the above sketch as my inspiration on how to lay out everything. I decided to cut some thin strips of white cardstock and glue them on top of my patterned papers so that I could add a little separation. I colored my little gingerbread from the Gingerbread Joy stamp set from Simon Says Stamp with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. I placed it into the center of my circle and added the sentiment underneath. I added some glitter the the gumdrops on the gingerbread and placed some enamel dots and hearts to finish my card. 

While I had everything out, I decided to make a second card.

I made this one the same way, just used different patterned papers and a different image/sentiment.

I thought that sentiment was absolutely perfect to go along with that image haha!!

So cute!!

Stellar Birthday!

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in real quick to share a card that I created with a couple of challenges in mind. 

Here is a look at the card...

I purchased this adorable image called Ainsley Astronaut  from Digi Doodle Studios a couple of weeks ago, colored her up with my Copic markers and set her aside! You know how that goes right? You just get busy with other things, or is that just me? haha! Well, I came across her when I was cleaning off my desk and sat down and turned her into a card before I forgot again haha!

I started with a white A2 top folding card base and added a light purple strip towards the bottom and doodled around the perimeter of my card front. I did a little ink blending to create a galaxy background and added some white and gold paint splatters. Once my galaxy was dry, I used a scallop rectangle die to cut it out and placed it onto my card, centering it as best as I could. I cut out my astronaut using my Scan N Cut and popped her onto my card with some foam tape. I cut out my sentiment using a banner die and placed that underneath her, trying to align it with the purple strip that is behind the background panel. I die cut some stars, placed them onto my card and added a few white doodles to her outfit to complete my card. 

I think this turned out so cute!!
