Halloween Tag

Sunday mornings, I usually run through all of the challenge blogs I visit to see what fantastic creations are out there. I really love the tag that wonderful and talented Kara Lynne Pogreba created this week Tag You're It Challenge #33, and I was inspired to play along. Here is Kara Lynne's tag:

The PP on the right reminded me of the tag image in PTI's Tiny Treats Halloween set. I stamped the tag image twice with VersaMark and embossed in black. I cut the circle out and colored the tiny candy corn image and also colored some random dots on the tag. I placed some ribbon on the left to give it some interest, and there you have it. 


I am going to link up at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog where this week's challenge is "Wrap It Up".


This is another project that works well for both elements of the Friday Mash Up Challenge: Halloween and Ribbon, so I going to link up there again.


This week's Mashup Challenge:
  • Create a project for Halloween.
  • Create a project featuring some Ribbon.
  • or Mash it Up! and create a project for Halloween with some Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today for a look. As always, I really appreciate your comments. It's great to have feedback. Have a wonderful day.

Crazy Halloween

 It's time for a new AAA Cards Challenge. Game #51 is Halloween 4 Everyone - All styles.

I just love these Stampers Anonymous Crazy Birds that are everywhere. I've had them for a while, and finally inked them up for this challenge.  This is a bit of a departure from my style of late, but I really love the way this one turned out.


I am also linking up and playing with th following challenges:

Creepy Crawly Sparkly Trick Or Treat


Still in Halloween Mode - I pulled out my spider web EF,  Martha Stewart Spider Punch, black glitter paper, MFT Stitched Flag Dies, PTI Tricky Trio dies, Orange Stickles and Halloween twine... put them all together and this is what came out!

I am linking this card to the following challenges:

Cards In Envy - CREEPY CRAWLIES challenge.  Make an A2 card that is flat enough to fit in an envelope featuring things that are creepy & crawly--spiders, bugs, snakes etc. That spider is creepy and crawly!

Addicted TO CAS #74 - my sparkly spider and orange stickles fit the bill for this CAS creation.

Thanks of coming by today!!

Trick Or Treat



When I saw Freshly Made Sketch #207, I immediately thought of the Pretty Pink Posh Storybook 1 die that I recently purchased. It is shaped just like the sketch, though it has different dimensions.  I stamped a medley of Halloween themed images in the windows. The pumpkin, bat and spider are from an old SU set from 2007 that has long been retired. To add a little something else, I stamped some stars from Winnie & Walter's Big Bang Confetti with Tsukineko Delicata Golden Glitz  ink.  I cut and inlaid the sentiment from PTI's Tricky Trio, added a little twine and voila!  I love to make Halloween cards, and we have 4 "littles" in the family between 4 weeks and 4 years of age that I will be sending them to!
I am also linking this card to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Autumn Is In The Air.

Always On My Mind




When I saw This week's Muse inspiration by Anita Bowden  for Muse Challenge #134 over at the Muse Challenge Blog,  I thought - vellum. There is no vellum on Anita's card, but that where my mind went. I used the color scheme of Color Throwdown #361, and applied green and yellow paint to wet watercolor paper for the background.  I embossed PTI' s Year of Flowers: Mums images with white EP on vellum and adhered that vellum panel onto the watercolored panel with a black card base. The sentiment is from the same collection, embossed in white on an MFT stitched flag die cut. I used twine instead of thread, though I am debating whether to change that.

It was so nice to be able to get 2 cards in this weekend.  Work and family is keeping me hopping, and have not been able to get to visiting my blog buddies very much. Hopefully I can get to some of that later.  Thank you for stopping in today.  Have a great day!

Halloween Word Play

The theme for the new challenge at AAA Cards Challenge is "Word Play" - use mostly words on your project. This immediately made me think of the Subway Series: Holidays stamps from Fresh Squeezed Stamps that I have had in my Autumn holiday stash for a few years. I blended some distress inks on a stitched rectangular panel of watercolor paper and embossed it with some Ranger Black Sparkle EP.  The spider and web side panel are cut from black glitter paper with Martha Stewart punches - also found deeply placed in my Autumn holiday stash.
