Hello Pumpkin

Hey crafty friends and happy Friday!!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for the 

October Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge #1

Great sketch right? Here is my take on it:

I kept my card base pretty simple by leaving it white and just doodling wonky lines around the perimeter with a black pen. All of my patterned paper came from the dollar spot at Target. I was very surprised to find 3 different 6x6 paper pads at my local target's dollar spot and am kicking myself now for not getting more than one of each. I love the patterns in the papers. I colored my pumpkins from the Bountiful Harvest stamp set by Verve with my Copics and used a circle die to cut them out. I layered everything together and added my sentiment onto some kraft cardstock and finished it off with a cardstock button and twine. 

Thank so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and take a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!!

I hope you have a great crafty day!!

I love all the prints in the Coastal stack from DCWV and knew right away I wanted to use some of them for my card.

Trick or Treat Candy Box

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I am here to share a 3D project that uses some of those awesome

 Pink & Main stamps and dies!

With Halloween fast approaching, I thought I would make one more little candy/treat box. 

I created my box using a die and doodled on the top flap. To keep the box closed, I created a little belly band out of some spider web patterned paper. I decorated the belly band by stamping the haunted house and bats from the Punkin stamp set and cutting it out with one of the Nested Hexagons dies and layering it on top of a Scallop Hexagon. I fussy cut the ghost from the Punkin set and adhered that onto my hexagons. My greeting came from the Planning Fall stamp set. I attached my hexagon to my belly band with some foam tape and added some wink of stella for some shimmer.

I wanted there to be a little "surprise" when you opened the box, besides the candy lol. That cute little spider came from the Punkin stamp set. I stamped him with some black ink and drew a little line from his web to him.

I will also be entering this into the challenge over at

Shopping Our Stash #274

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #274 is....

Hey Ghoulfriend!!

(Create a Halloween card/project)

Here is the card I created:

This card was so easy to put together and fast!! I started off with my gray cardbase and inked around the edges. I cut a piece of  patterned paper, inked around the edges and adhered to my base. I used a die to cut out my oval, inked the edges and popped it up with some foam tape. I added a couple pieces of bling onto the oval and added a 3D sticker to the middle. Voila! Card was done in less that 10 minutes. Gotta love that!!

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

--Patterned Paper: I used two stacks, both of them are over a year old and I removed the seals from both for this card.

--3D Sticker: I bought this sticker a while ago. I wanna say about 2 years ago, can't remember. I have been hoarding it but am so happy how it looks on this card.

--Oval Die: Been at least 6 months since I last used it

Trick or Treat

Hey everyone!

I hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Today I have a pretty simple card to share with you that I made for a couple of different challenges.

They are:

--Stick It Down: October Card Sketch--

--Dies R Us: #59 Fall (Including Halloween)--

--PDE Linky Party: #142 All Cards--

Here is what I created for the challenges:

I'm still in Halloween mode so I couldn't wait to make another Halloween card. 

I dug deep in my stash for this one lol! The Halloween stamp is quite old and I honestly can not remember the last time I used it but it was perfect for the sketch. After I had my image all stamped up, I used a circle die to cut it out as well as the layering circles. I cut an orange strip, added some faux stitching, and added a spider web border to the back. I adhered it to my card base and added my die cut circles and image on top. I finished off my card with some doodles around the edge. Simple but I like it :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!
