Silly Spooky for Creative Crew

Creative Crew keeps me coming up with fun new projects, that's for sure. I don't collect a lot of Halloween stamp sets, so these are retired ones, but fun ones from last year. I love the Googly Eyes I added to this cute and silly witch.

CCREW1013DF is the Challenge name, so if you'd like to play along and upload your card to the Splitcoast Creative Crew Gallery, please do join us!

The Challenge was to create a card or project using the colors from the Witch's Brew Designer Series Paper in the current Holiday Catalog. Not having the paper, I used the colors instead. They are: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Summer Starfruit and Pumpkin Pie.

I hope you enjoy my friend above and that you will play along. Just see the Creative Crew Challenge page for October here.

PPA143-Howling Good Sketch

Another challenge from Pals Paper Arts! I hope you will not only consider playing with us, but that you will actually pick up your supplies and create, using the above sketch by our Design Team member, Margaret Moody as your starting point!

I had a howling good time getting ready for Trick-or-Treat season by using Howlstooth and Scaringbone designer series paper from Stampin' Up's current Mini Catalog. The colors are *so cool* and my favorite pattern is the houndstooth I chose for this card.

Here is a close up of the banner, which I used the Petal Cone Die to cut. Then I centered my sentiment, "Trick or Treat" (which is inked with Tangerine Tango and Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers) using the Stampa-ma-Jig to get perfect placement. A couple of score lines using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and I now have a popped-up banner.

Mistakes sometimes happen and here is one time where I made the best of one! When I placed my square of Tangerine Tango card stock onto the die to cut this round mat, one teeny scallop edge did not get rounded! I did not notice this until I had already adhered the cauldron image using Stampin' Dimensionals. So, I quickly snipped each and every scallop, and now I have a brand new shape! I was way too tired to start over again at that point! 

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I won't be posting much in the coming week, due to our son's wedding, but I hope to be back in my studio soon and posting more cards for you to see and be inspired by!
