Fun Snowman


This was a fun card to make. I really like this snowman and you might find him paper pieced someday. :)


I already had the oval cut and embossed in my scraps. I stamped the snowman and colored him with Copics. I masked him and sponged on Soft Sky ink and then stamped snowflakes over the sponging. There is a bit of Faux Snow under him. He is mounted on a scalloped oval with Stickles in the scallops. The paper is from Basic grey, the Blitzen collection.


The sentiment is stamped with chalk ink and highlighted with Stickles (on the snowflake). It is mounted onto a circle of Soft Sky covered in faux snow then mounted on a Mellow Moss scalloped circle. The yarn is almost the color of Soft Sky, I got lucky there.


The snowman panel and the white sentiment circle are up on Stampin' Up dimensionals.


Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween


I am going to have to find another use for this paper because I love it! That, or I'll be using it again next Halloween (that would be ok too)!

This is for Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge (SC200). I used the small clear Studio g stamps that I bought at Michael's. If you've ever not gotten good, clean images from them, don't feel bad. I always scuff them up with an emory board first. It doesn't damage the stamp and you get a cleaner image.

I inked the edges of the circles with black. The pumpkin is colored with an orange Sakura glaze pen and a green Copic glitter pen. It was paper pieced and put up on a SU dimensional. The 'trick or treat' is outlined with the clear Copic glitter pen. I actually sewed the button around the ribbon so I knew it wouldn't fall off.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Witch is In!


This is one of my favorite cards from last year. The stamps are from the $1 bin at Michael's. The shoes just screamed "Halloween" to me. The saying is what hooked me into the purchase!


I used black Staz-on to stamp the images. I color the stockings orange and purple. Gold glitter on the shoe buckles (and some accidentally on the stockings, but I liked it). The black strip is crimped, but you can't tell in the scan. You can see I am still using ribbon from last year. Just a fun halloween card I thought I'd share.


Thanks!
