Boo Convention

Today I made a few more Halloween cards to get in the mail ... I like mailing Halloween cards because they are unexpected and lots of fun to make.

Remember, you can use my discount TJ10Stephanie for 10% off your entire order.

I started with the background stamp Boo Convention and Inspiration from the current TGIF Challenge.

Instead of an orange raccoon with a mask, I added some orange cat stickers with sunglasses to my boo crew.  Sentiment is Technique Junkies Happy Halloween.

My next card took it's inspiration from If You Give a Crafter a Cookie.

I used a small heart punch and a navy gem to add a bow to one of my ghosties ... and I added a black cat with purple sunglasses for some company.

I also took my color palette from the Just Us Girls Challenge ... the Boo Convention stamped in green almost makes them look like they are glowing in the dark.

Thanks for joining me for some BOO-tiful Halloween Fun.

Joyeux Noel

Hello fellow stampers.  This photo does not do justice to the beautiful shine and to the watercolour
Ornament 1.  The sentiment came from Victorian Greetings.  There are six beautiful greetings that you're sure to love too.

Don't forget to use DT10Beth to get 10% off these, and any other stamp/product, that isn't in the clearance rack.


So many times I read that a stamper isn't pleased with their photography, and this is one of those.  Believe me when I say it's beautiful in real life.  I think the photo didn't caputure the beauty is because I used Koi metallic watercolours.

I've been working away on making my Christmas cards.  How about you?

Always Carry a Knife

Happy Monday! 

Here are the how to's:

1. Make a card from kraft cardstock. Use a corner Rounder on edges.

2. Make a colorful with some texture. I sponged and then stamped over the top with a stamp block.

3. Using the MISTI, stamp Olive Branch. Sponge edges and round corners. Add to card.

 6. Using the MISTI, stamp Knife in My Purse with black ink. Trim to size, round corners, add to card.

Season of Blessings

Hello friends!  Lynda Joy here, with a fall card. Fall is definitely here in upstate New York!  Our trees are ablaze with crimson, orange, red, purple, and all the shades of October!  It's so lovely, and I enjoy our walks along our river trail this time of year.

Autumn Framed Sentiments SS112 
Autumn Set of 6  (inside)
Skeleton Leaf Stencil

I loved making this card!!  I got to play with my favorite colors, and a giant leaf stencil.  I adore leaves!  

I used craft card stock, and distress inks with my stencil, adding colors to different areas of the leaf as I went along, blending them.
I stamped the 'Blessings' with dark brown ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder.

 I used the Autumn Set of 6 set with distress inks.

I hope you like my card.  

Thanks for stopping by.
