BOO!

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing my last Halloween card with you. I've moved on to some Fall cards, and Hubby's b'day is on Halloween so I needed to start planning for that as well. This one was easy to make and I like the way it turned out. I used two of the new stamps from CTMH plus an old one from last year. I added some Distress Stickles, some punched webs and bats, and some bling and tulle from my stash and Wah-Lah, done in a flash! Hope you like, and I'll be back next week to share one of those Fall cards with you. Thanks for peeking!

Supplies- CTMH: Stamps "Backdrop-Charmed"(old), "Perfect Fit-Halloween" and "Eek and Shriek"(new), Punches: Martha Stewart "Web Lace?" (cut in half) and "Bat".

Shadows

 Hey all!  Here's another card using core'dinations paper where the core is yellow. I used a paper studio folder and just slightly sanded it down. Everything, except for the moon and the "grass", is made from a Tim Holtz strip die. I needed something behind the trick or treaters and my daughter suggested the green. I'm still not real sure about the green though. Maybe it's the polka dots, I don't know! Tell me what you think?! I love to read your comments. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies-  core'dinations :"Black Magic" paper, Paper Studio: Embossing folder "Mesh Texture", Tim Holtz Alterations strip die " Halloween Shadows", Inside sentiment: CTMH " Eek and Shriek", and the bats are from the strip die. 

Owloween

Hey everyone! This card was made on the spur of the moment at a playdate a couple of weeks ago It is CAS, quick and easy. My friend Gale had this stamp set and I fell in love with the cute little owl. Some CTMH papers, a border punch and some bakers twine finished it off. Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful fall weather! It is in the upper 70's to low 80's here this past week and mostly blue skies. Love it!!  Enjoy the card and I hope you are being crafty for Halloween! Thanks for looking!

Supplies- All papers: CTMH, Owl stamp and sentiment: Hampton Art, Bakers Twine: Studio G, Border Punch: Martha Stewart "Moon and Stars" Art, 

Don't Croak

Hello everyone!
 So sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I've been busy making cards for birthdays and thank you's and Halloween and Harvest! Then about a week ago my Dad ended up in the hospital for a very brief visit, and this week Hubby and I have been getting ready for some out of town relatives! So, looking at the calendar I decided I needed to share the Halloween cards first since it is just right around the corner. I got on a kick using core'dinaions papers, embossing them, and sanding them to use as my background. This one had a green core which morphed into frogs and little green spiders. Then I wanted to use a stamp set that I purchased last year ,and that led to the jar full of pickled toad (which every good witch knows is a staple on the pantry shelf), hehe! Anyway, I hope you enjoy and thanks for peeking!

Supplies-  Pickled toad stamp: CTMH "Magic Potions", Front frog and inside sentiment: Cricut "Mini Monsters", Inside frog: Cricut "Four Legged Friends", Toad jar: S.U. Framelits " Cannery Set", Embossing folder: Paper Studio "Spider Webs", Spiders: Studio G punch.

She Believed

Hey Ya'll! I hope you are enjoying the Fall weather where ever you are. The temps have been lower here and I feel a touch of Fall in the air! Love it! My Favorite season! Today I have a card for you  for encouragement. I made this card with a cast on my hand, and thought the sentiment was perfect! This also has turned out to be my "end of Summer" card. I used several items that I had purchased and never used, like the stamp and dies. Sorry if this picture looks a little fuzzy, lol. I also took the pic with the cast on my hand. I hope you enjoy and have a crafty weekend! Thanks for looking!

Supplies- Embossed background: Sizzix "Dots and Flowers", Ribbon trim: heidi swap "Trimmings" inked with Buttercup Ink from CTMH, Stamped flower and leaves: Stampin' Up bundle "Secret Garden", Label: S.U. framelit "Labels Collection", Sentiment: S.U. "Feels Good".

Fishy Wishes

Hello everyone! Today I have a quick card for you using bits and pieces of leftovers from my table. I stamped the fish and weeds at a Hostess Club with Stampin" Up a few months back. I used a piece of bakers twine that was laying around and some netting from a "candy coins" bag at Christmas that I had saved. It all came together pretty quick once I decided to make it into a birthday card. Thanks for peeking!

Supplies- Stampin' Up: "By the Tide" stamp set, cardstock and seam binding. McGill : Label punch, sentiment on label: hand lettered. CTMH: Epoxy Bubbles

Jeanette's Archive

Hey Ya'll! Good news! I no longer have a cast on my hand, Yay!!  I went back to the doctor last week and he removed the cast and gave me a removable splint to wear. I only wear it when I am doing any heavy lifting and such as that. I am now able to make cards without too much trouble, and cook , and clean, and... My Hubby is ecstatic! He has hung in there for too long, and I am so grateful for it!
I have a card for you today that I played around with a bit. I intentionally double stamped and off set the image to produce a calligraphy look with negative space. Does that make sense? This is a new stamp from CTMH that came out of Jeanette's archives( the Founder and CEO of Close To My Heart). I also punched some small flowers and used some Vintage stationary as my background mat. Found it in the drawer when I was rummaging around looking for something. I decided I would use it on a card because who really sends handwritten letters anymore? I know I haven't for years, obviously! Just thought I would share and let you know that I'm back in business for the time being! Thanks for looking!

Supplies- Vintage stationary and seam binding for the bow from my stash, Outside sentiment: CTMH "Flowering Thanks" Jeanette's Archives, Small flowers: EKSuccess punch "Mini Flowers", Inside sentiment: Studio G, Border punch: Martha Stewart "Leafy Vine".
