Hello hello! It’s Sunday and I am hoping your weekend is going well. We hit the Farmer’s Market yesterday and got some homemade soup and three chocolate dipped Almond Biscotti that I am trying HARD not to just eateateat!! They are SO stinkin’ good! Oh – and we bought a bag of Arugula – cuz…it IS a FARMER’S market and we tried to be at least a little healthy!
My card today is another Halloween card. I may or may not have said that I was done with Halloween cards but…if I did – I apparently…fibbed. This one combined the Cottage Wreaths bundle (a multi-holiday set) with the Bewitching bundle (a little more…specialized!). Take a look-see;
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a fun color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I decided to do…ONE MORE (okay – MAYBE it’ll be the last one for 2022 but…one never really knows) Halloween card when I saw the color challenge. This one uses the Scary Cute bundle and some Celebrate Everything DSP! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is “Halloween Fun”! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I thought a nice spooky (not really!) wreath – with a spider and everything! – would be great for Halloween. So…out came the Cottage Wreaths bundle – with the fun Country Wreaths dies. And – the Black & White Designs DSP seemed like a pretty good way to get it started. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Can you believe that today and tomorrow are the very LAST days to take advantage of this Sale-A-Bration?? Yep – it’s truer than true! So…if there’s something you’ve meant to do or get before SAB ends….now would be a great time to do or get it! And – since DOUBLE Peppermints are still on the table – it really makes it a win-win!! 🙂
I went back to Halloween for today’s card – with the fun Bewitching Bundle – it’s got the cute Witch Hat Builder Punch with it – and the Best Witches stamp set. All set atop some hypnotic Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a very seasonal color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
As I built this post, I realized I’d used almost exactly the same products on my LAST week blog hop card! Oh, well – I had a request for another Halloween card and…since the colors were perfect AND Halloween is like …right around the corner (🤔), I figured…better get it done! So…out came the Scary Cute bundle and the Aspen Tree Dies. This time, though, I played with the fun Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a wide-open sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I decided to swing to Halloween again for this one (don’t worry – STILL not a scary card, read on!) and pulled out the fun Scary Cute stamp set and bundled Scary Silhouettes Dies. And…I also used the Aspen Tree die. Take a look-see!
And here’s our sketch!
…and I got the idea to make a stencil from the Aspen Treedie thanks to the challenge from Just Us Girls.
I started with a black-and-Pumpkin Pie piece of plaid paper from the Gingham Cottage DSP that I adhered to the front of a Basic Black card base with Liquid Glue.
From a piece of Basic White cardstock – the color doesn’t matter, this is a stencil! – I cut the large Aspen Tree Die.
I secured a piece of Basic White cardstock to my work surface with a little repositionable tape runner, then used Blending Brushes to create some sky – with Crushed Curry near the bottom and Gorgeous Grape in the top potion.
I adhered the finished panel to a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
From the middle of a piece of Celebrate Everything DSP (remember that this is a Host selection from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog!), I used the outer window die from Scary Silhouettes to cut the hole.
Then I adhered it over the top of the stenciled panel with Liquid Glue.
I used the same Scary Silhouette die – plus the detailed die that nests inside it, to cut a Gorgeous Grape decorated window frame. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered it inside the opening on the card front.
I used five of the bat dies and the house silhouette die from Scary Silhouettes to cut out the shapes. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the house and the three smallest bats. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensional pieces to adhere the two large bats to the frame.
I stamped the Scary Cute sentiment in Versamark Ink on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and sprinkled it with white Embossing Powder. Then I heat embossed it with my Heat Tool.
When the embossing powder was cool, I used Paper Snips to cut each word. Then I adhered them to the card front with Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Scary Cute sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added some bats from the set in Gorgeous Grape.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and into the inside of the Basic Black card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Gorgeous Grape bats from Scary Cute on the front…
…and more of the Celebrate Everything DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How cute…dare I say….SCARY CUTE!??!…is this bundle? I love that fun cut out from the bundled Scary Silhouette dies, don’t you!? And the Aspen Tree die made for a very cool stencil – I slid it inside the pocket with the die set so I can use it again in the future! I also don’t want you to miss getting a pack of the Celebrate Everything DSP – it really covers nearly every occasion for which you might need a card! Individual or workshop orders over $150 will make you eligible to pick it up – you might consider scooping up that last slot in my Online Host Club – that’s a sure-fire way to be able to get this pack and more! 🙂

Yesterday was Christmas-in-July so…it only makes sense that TODAY be HALLOWEEN-in-July! Like all my Halloween cards – this one is not at ALL scary! I used the fun Best Witches stamp set and some cool Black & White Designs DSP to make it AND it’s a peek-a-boo window card, too! Take a look-see:
Good Monday morning, y’all! The work week is back and I’m sorry! Hopefully you had a GREAT weekend and you’re ready to hit it for five days until you make it to the NEXT weekend! 🙂
My card today is all about Halloween. Yes – it’s coming. I know. Hard to believe – but…it’s just a matter of time – days? – before you’ll start to see the Halloween decorations in the store. It’s sorta ridiculous, but…there you go! So…if you can’t beat ’em – might as well get a head start on it, huh? I’ve used the Scary Cuteand Bewitching Bundles – and some Celebrate Everything DSP. Take a look-see:
