One More Halloween Card

I lied, I said I was done with Halloween cards.

I made one more for the "black" challenge at CASology,

the Halloween (or Halloween colors) at 

Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge, and the 

string / twine challenge at Less is More.  I used 

silver embroidery floss. I hope that counts as string ;).

Paper:  PTI White & True Black

Ink: PTI Fresh Snow, Memento Tuxedo Black

Ghostly Greetings

Here are the Halloween cards that the babies in the NICU

I work at will be giving to their parents.  I am entering them
at Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge for their 

Halloween (or Halloween colors) challenge.  I also made 

three very similar cards that I stepped up a bit.  I used a

scalloped die, popped up the main circle with foam dots

and added twine or rhinestones to the buttons. 

 These three use the colors at ColourQ for the 

super cute Halloween topiary.   When I started them, I

wasn't feeling particularly creative, so I searched for a

sketch to use.  I found one at Freshly Made Sketches ~ # 39;

they are currently on number 109.

Supplies ~ 

Stamps: PTI Happy Haunting
Paper: PTI White & Soft Stone, SU Wisteria Wonder, various patterned papers in my stash
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black & SU Elegant Eggplant
Dies & Punch:  PTI Happy Haunting,  Memory Box Whimsy Circle, SU 2 1/2" Circle Punch
Additional Supplies:  PTI Buttons, Twine - LCS

May Your Blessings Be Plenty

Starting on my Thanksgiving cards, I used the themes at CASology ~ 

"country" and at Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge to use

Halloween colors (or make a Halloween card). 

There were so options for "country" that I couldn't 

narrow it down;  this was not my first attempt ;).

I decided on a gingham patterned pumpkin, since 

gingham always makes me think of something "country."
I also added button twine and burlap.

Supplies ~ 
Stamp:  WPlus9 Pretty Patches: Pumpkin
Paper:  PTI Rustic White, SU Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green & Soft Suede
Ink:  SU Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green & Soft Suede
Dies:   WPlus9 Pretty Patches: Pumpkin, PTI Mat Stack 2 & Layerz Mat Stack 2
Additional Supplies:  PTI Rustic Cream Button Twine, Burlap - LCS

The Beauty of Fall

One more card for the challenge at Moxie Fab World for this week's

Tuesday Trigger:  Enthralled with Fall.  I am also entering 

 at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for their Halloween

or Halloween colors.  I used an older leaf punch to make

 a leaf frame.  I used the same paper on this one, that I sprayed 

with mists and used for my first card for the Tuesday Trigger here. 

I am showing my first attempt just to show what a few simple 

changes can make, and for perhaps a laugh ;).  Popping up the 

frame and adding a colored background made a big difference.

 

Supplies ~

Stamps:  Technique Tuesday ~ Studio AE Celebrate Fall

Paper:  PTI  White & Terracotta Tile

Ink:  SU  Raspberry Ripple & (Tangerine Tango)

      Mister Huey Spray Mists: Sunset, Plum Thumb & Sunshine, Clear Snap Gingersnap

Punches:  EK Success Oak Leaf & (Maple Leaf)

 

Lastly, I am sharing a picture of my neighbors' tree.

I have the pleasure of seeing this gorgeous tree every day.

Wishing you an absolutely glorious fall day today!
