Halloween Blog Hop - Crafty Colaborations

Hello Stamping Friends,

Halloween is certainly upon us and will be here rather quickly. Today we are hopping through some great Halloween creations and you surely won't want to miss out on these ideas.

I did some thinking outside the box since I really don't have any current Halloween sets. I used the Year to Celebrate stamp set and Halloween colors to make my card.

Party horns can be used for any type of party, right?  Gorgeous grape, pumpkin pie, and lemon lime twist are great Halloween colors and the stripes and polka dots just add to the festive atmosphere. I just hope these horns don't make noise. LOL

What really makes this card is the layers. By now, you know I love adding layers to my cards. I believe the extra layers just bring the card together and gives a nice, completed

look to your end result.

Stampers Dozen Fun Fold Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Don't you just love blog hops? You can garner so much inspiration in just a few clicks. I'm back today with another great blog hop with the Stampers Dozen. This month's theme is Fun Fold Cards. Now that is exciting, if you ask me. 

Fun fold cards are fun to make, fun to give, and even more fun to receive.  Sometimes crafters find them difficult to make and overwhelming to conquer, but this card is actually pretty easy to make. It's called a double z-fold card. 

And I love letting my designer series paper do the majority of the work. Isn't this a great color combo, too? My two favorite colors, pink and green. The black just makes those two colors pop even more. 

Another thing that has my name all over it is the typewriter. I sure wish I kept mine from my high school/college days. I saw one about a year ago in a shop and couldn't believe the price they were asking for this great memory from days gone by. 

This card is seriously fun to make. Once it was done, I set it up and just admired it. Do you ever admire your creations?

Fun Fall Color Challenge

Hello Stamping Friends,

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we were faced with a color challenge. I will say, I don't often use these colors on their own, nevermind, using these colors together. However, after working with them, I love how well they work together. Perfect for a fall or masculine card

 

Look at how awesome they are together! I love when others challenge me to go out of my comfort zone and create something I would have never done on my own.

I love this rooster set, Hey, Chuck. They are silly, sassy roosters that just beg to be used to create some great cards. I love that the set also has a skateboard. My oldest son has been a skateboarder for years. I decided this would be a good card for him because he definitely has something to crow about. (Keep scrolling)

What's better than a skateboarding rooster? Well, a skateboarding rooster on a fence top, of course. The multiple layers on this card add so much to it. I also colored the rooster with blender pens and ink pads.

Want to hear what my oldest son has to crow about? Well, here it is.................... ..................................................................................................................

After celebrating one year of marriage, they have even more to celebrate. They are expecting their first baby. I get to be a Nini for a second time. Everyone in our family is very excited for them and to have a new little one added to the crew.

Thanks for stopping by. Remember to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more inspiration using this color combination.

Sunday Fun Day - Fall Theme

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today at Sisters in Stamping we are sharing some fun fall cards with you.  Are you all ready for fall colors, leaves falling, pumpkin everything, hayrides, and whatever else says fall? 

Once again, I decided to let the paper do all the "speaking" for me. This paper is absolutely gorgeous and needs little else to accompany it to make great cards. 

I layered the paper on early espresso cardstock while my base is very vanilla. I then added a small strip of the gold side of the paper and a little die cut leaf also from the same pack of paper. I stamped the greeting from the coordinating stamp set on vellum and then die cut it out. (Remember to let the ink dry for a bit before trying to cut or else it will smear and we don't want that.)

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more fall ideas. 

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon for more inspiration.
