Hello, Happy Halloween! Thank you for making my blog one of your Halloween stops. I’ve got no tricks for you today just a cute card to share and some inspiration for this Halloween day. Today I’m used Lawn Fawn’s Happy Howl-o-ween Stamp Set.  I had stamped the images previously in memento tuxedo black ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers.  Since they were such small images I just stamped them on a scrap of white card stock.   I used my Big Shot machine to cut the circle using Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles Large die. (Which is discontinued) Next I used the blending tool and fossilized amber distress ink  to color the circle using Tim Holtz blending tools.  After that I cut the card base down from Micheal’s Recollections card stock and adhered everything together using The Scotch Advanced Tape Glider.   Then it was time for the sentiment I couldn’t find my Memento tuxedo black ink so I grabbed Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black ink  . I then used Simon

Hello there, can you believe October is almost over how did that happen? Tomorrow is Halloween and there is still time to run out and get a pumpkin and carve it just in time for your Halloween festivities. Let me help you with that crafty style today I’ve got a very fun card using the stamp set So Sweet by Beth Duff Designs . This set was from her summer release and meant to be a lemonade stand.  Though this idea came to me and I wanted to get more use out my stamp plus why not get multiple uses out of your more seasonal stamps.   My brain is already thinking what else could this little stand sell, hehe!  I’ve also got a process video on my YouTube channel if you’re interested in seeing how this card came together.  Find the video below and a link to watch it directly on YouTube in HD.  For the card I stamped the lemonade/pumpkin stand on Spectrum Noir premium ultra smooth card stock.   Then of course colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.  I used TN7, OR1, CR10,DR3 and t

Hello, it's Saturday and I have a new card to share with you with a process video over on my YouTube channel, watch the video below or click the link to watch it in HD. Alright onto today's card I used my Big Shot machine to emboss my background which is from Tim Holtz Alterations  Christmas texture fades Holiday Knit 2.  (This embossing folder is discontinued, I'm sorry but I wanted to use what I had.)  I used this embossing folder to create the sweater effect as the sentiment from the patterned paper I used reads early sunsets, warm tea and big sweaters. The patterned paper with the sentiment is from Micheal's Recollections "Autumn Dreams" Hot buy paper pad. I prepared my card base using Micheal's Recollections card stock and for all the cutting I used the Friskers paper cutter. Then I used the Stamp set Coffee Break from Honey Bee Stamps and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Ranger Distress Watercolor card stock.  Then I took Tim Hol

Hello Hello today I have a card to share with a video on my YouTube channel where you can see my process and hear from me. I created this cute anniversary card using Neat and Tangled Favorite Nut stamp set.   I used Memento tuxedo black ink and stamped my image on Spectrum Noir ultra smooth premium card stock. Then I pulled out my Spectrum Noir markers. I used TN7 & TN8 for the browns. I blended them with FS3 & used that marker for the tummy and tail.  For the acorn leaves I used a combo of YG17 Green Grass (Copic marker) and DG3.  I cut down a card base using some cream card stock from Micheal’s Recollections card stock.   Then I cut a piece of kraft card stock and ran it through my Big Shot machine and used the Rays & Retro circles Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder. (This embossing folder is discontinued, sorry. I don’t want to stop using the supplies I have on hand though as you know you know craft supplies all add up)  After that I adhered ever

Hello I’ve got two super simple cards to share with you using scrapbook paper from Micheal’s Recollections Autumn Dream hot buy paper pad.   There is also a quick YouTube video of the process on my YouTube channel , don’t forget to check that out! This was such a fun card to make and super fast.  It’s also a great way to use your scrapbook papers or use up any scraps of scrapbook paper from other projects.  So I cut down some Kraft card stock from Micheal’s Recollections Card stock and then cut down some pieces in the card stock and some of the sayings also included in the paper pad.  Then I simply decided on how I wanted everything to look which I already had an idea in my head of how I wanted it to look.  When I was happy with the layout on the cards I used the Scotch advanced tape glider to adhere everything together. To finish off the card I just cut down the scrapbook paper hanging over the edges and the card was done.    Watch the video directly

Hello, it’s World Card Making Day today and I have another panda card to share with you today featuring the cuddle like a panda stamp set from Beth Duff Designs new fall release. I also have a video of the process up on my YouTube channel.  See Video below and a link directly to my channel.  I stamped the pandas and sentiment in memento tuxedo black ink on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card stock.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp 3x4 Thanks stamp set.  This layer I used My Favorite Things rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics to cut it.   I cut a card base from Micheal’s Recollections Collection Card stock. Then I cut the black Card stock layer which is also from Micheal’s card stock using my Big Shot machine and My Favorite Things rectangle STAX set 1 Die-maniacs. Next I took Barn Door Distress Ink and dabbed it directly on the card base to create some texture and add some color.   Then I went ahead and colored the image and outlined the sentiment. For my coloring today I u

Hello Hello today I have a card and video to share with you using the Simon Says Stamp School Bus messages stamp set. This is the 2nd card in my fall Card Series over on YouTube. I stamped the school bus on Spectrum Noir ultra Smooth premium card stock with memento tuxedo black ink.   Then I used distress ink to water color my images.  The colors of inks I used were squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, barn door, hickory smoke and salty ocean.  Fir the water brush I used the Sukura Koi Medium water brush. After I was done coloring I used the Sakura white jelly roll pen to add some highlights and fix a few spots. Then I used a normal ball point black pen to fix some of the lines.  At this time the school bus was ready to be cut out. To add the characters into the school bus I used the Mama Elephant stamp set Book Worm. Again I stamped them on the Spectrum Noir ultra smooth premium card stock and stamped it in memento tuxedo black ink. I water colored them using walnut stain, tu
