The Halloween Tree

I needed to make some Halloween cards for a card sale at church and I had this paper pack from Doodlebug Designs 'Haunted Manor' so here is one of the many cards I made. (I usually don't so Halloween, but I ended up making 18 cards, almost everyone I know got one.)
The tree is from Rosie Roadshow and the rest of the images are from a Fiskar's clear stamp set 'Trick or Treat'. This paper pack really let me have fun with Halloween this year.  So much so that I've been on a card making binge and just haven't had time to post them (ok that's not really true I was just to lazy to download the cards and post them).  Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Snow Village

I really believe that this embossing folder from Cuttlebug is a classic. I just love this image. It is so easy to make an elegant card with this folder. I used Cryogen white in an A2 size and just ran it through the Cuttlebug. The sentiment is from a new set that my friend Renee gave me for my B'day (isn't she a great friend). It's the Fiskars Christmas Clear set. I could have added some of the Polar White Flower Soft, but I wanted to keep this one unadorned. Maybe I'll do another and let you compare. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Halloween

I don't normally do Halloween cards, but my friend Renee gave a set of Fiskars Clear stamps for my B'day. I'm not sure why, but Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays. Must be all that candy. lol Any way I decide to make some cards do donate to a fund raiser at my church. I pulled out black and gray card stock to use.Then I found some fun scraps of decorative background stuff to use. The green is a mesh type of stuff ( I really don't know what to call it) and the orange is more tissue type stuff. I stamped in Memento Black and colored with Copics. I sponged Memento London Fog on three of the cards for a spookier effect.

Christmas Redo

I tried this same design again, but with slight differences. Using the same punches from EK Success (trees) and Martha Stewart (village) but with different color paper for the trees. With the CuttleBug embossed layers I simply cut them at an angle (these were the leftovers from the previous card--waste not want not) and added the snowflake brad with the blue flat back pearl from the Recollection Autumn collection I picked up at Michael's. The Merry Christmas is from a Christmas set by Fiskars. I think I like this layout a bit better but that's just me. I may play with this some more and see what I come up with. I still need to finish my Thanksgiving cards for my church group and design more Christmas cards for next months card gathering at my cousins. Lots of fun coming up. Hope you like it.
