Day 5 Halloween Countdown

Hi friends

I hope you had a nice weekend.  I guess today is a holiday for some of you as it is Columbus Day here in the states.  I have a date with some friends to play mahjong so I'd better make this post a bit brief.  I  did work on my crazy cards over the weekend and can't wait to show you!  I love it... maybe I'll interrupt the Halloween countdown and turn it into a fall fest countdown... maybe?  It's Fall-related but not Halloween.  Ok, later this week.

Let me wish my Canadian friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope your tables were loaded with all of Autumn's bounty!!!

Well, here we go with our Halloween countdown...

I really like this one.  It's actually more narrow than the standard A2 card that we are used to.  The points of the flagged turquoise piece measure 4 1/4 and it's length is 5 1/2 so it winds up fitting in an A2 envelope just fine.  I like the dimension on this one.

Well, I must dash... I think I'll start throwing in some Autumn cards this week too!  As always, thanks so much for the visit and have a super Monday!

Day 4 Halloween Countdown

Hi Friends

Here we are at day 4 of the Halloween countdown and this card is one of my favorites.  I love this sentiment! The inside of the card (not shown) has white cs and I stamped a few brooms on it.  These items are all in the Holiday mini and available now.  

This fun little card uses the Tee Hee stamp set and the Motley Crew dsp that I showed you in yesterday's blog.  If you missed it, scroll down for a picture of the papers.

Tee-Hee-Hee Photopolymer Stamp Set       #135125

Price: $15.95 If you only buy one halloween stamp set, I think this one just about covers it all.  I hope you've enjoyed today's blog and you'll give this set a try.  The possibilities are endless. Thanks for taking some time out of your day to stop by and tune in next week for more of the Halloween countdown... it's "creeping" closer to that day!!!                                                                             {{hugs}}

Day 3 Halloween

Hi there

Or should I say "Boo"?  Today, continuing with our 10 days of Halloween I have another cutie to share with you.  If you scroll below you will see a picture of the entire set.  Hmmm, getting ideas... wouldn't it be neat to just have a few cat images peeking out of a frame and then add a bunch of eyes in green and yellow?  Well, maybe I'll try that out.

There are so many variations you can achieve with this fun stamp set.  

Freaky Friends Stamp Set    #135161 (clear mount)    #135158 (wood mount)
Price: $16.95

Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper   #135819

Day 2 Halloween Countdown

Hi Friends

Are you starting to get into the holiday mood?  I am but I'm still waiting for some crisp weather to signal Fall.  No, I'm not holding my breath :-).  We have such gorgeous weather here in the northern San Diego area the majority of the year, so I really shouldn't complain. This October heat is nothing new... when our girls were little we'd plan their costumes for weeks.  It was most often little pink tutus or some other girly thing... especially since, at the time, it was 90+ outside.  Then the 31st arrives and guess what?  It would be 40 degrees that night.  So out would come the big jackets and warm leggings which sort of killed the ballerina look. Oh well, it's all about the candy!!  Candy?  Yes, please!

Let's keep going on our Halloween cards.  Here's card #2 for you... again using glimmer paper and the framelits from the holiday mini....  Enjoy!!

Thanks for coming by... there will be another card tomorrow as the countdown continues!

Day 1 halloween countdown

Hi Friends...

Today I thought I'd start a Halloween Countdown by presenting 10 days of Halloween cards and decorations.  Sound good?  We will be finished well before Halloween which gives you plenty of time to copy and use some of the posts... please, feel free to copy, it's the highest form of flattery!   I'm not into the gory, horror, or scary stuff  but if you like cute, happy cards and treat boxes for candy, then you're in the right place.  Candy?  Yes, please!

Ok, let's get going.  The following four posts are from a door prize that I won at my upline, Pam's,  SAS last month. I can't take credit for making or creating them but I can sure feel good about sharing them :-).   Soooo cute.  When I first saw the framelits in the holiday mini I wasn't too sure how they would be used. But...cutting the ghost out of glimmer paper and adding a few pumpkins on halloween DSP makes a super cute card.  

  

Fun Fall Framelits Dies  135856
Price: $24.95 Here's card 1  Be sure to come back tomorrow for another idea!   Thanks for the visit... {{hugs}}

Stormy winter night

Hi friends

Did you think I'd fallen in a hole?  Well, no, but it seems at this time of year I get all inspired for the changing season and take on a multitude of tasks... keeps me busy.  Of course, here in southern California Mr Sunshine, and his first cousin, Mr. Heat Wave, always stubbornly hang on until mid October when they've definitely worn out their welcome!  However, they messed up a week ago and our weather was (somewhat) fall-like, which prompted me to get energetic and clean out closets and cabinets and get ready for the holidays.  Today seems cooler and I have my decorations ready to be put out!

Meanwhile, here is a card I made last week using the Crayon Resist Technique.  I was prowling around various blogs and found this technique video by Connie Stewart and had to try it.  Click here to watch her YouTube video.  She makes it so easy.  Here are some cards I did using Serene Silhouettes ... I don't have the White Christmas set that she used.

It's a very simple technique.  Just stamp on your main image in black (I used Memento Tuxedo Black) and then color in your snow using a white crayon...wherever you think it might collect on the branches.   For your moon, you are going to punch out a hole in a post-it note sheet (include some of the sticky) and use the large piece as a stencil for the moon.  Stamp it off  and then cover it back up before you apply your background.  I used a large dauber and Midnight Muse to create my stormy background ... be careful not to rub too hard as you are applying your background.  Once you're satisfied with your sky and have allowed the ink to set, rub off your crayon and watch your "snow" appear on the branches.  I used my White pen from Stampin Up to dot on my falling snow. 

Here's Connie's card

and here's a quickie card I did yesterday when demonstrating for a friend but didn't bother with the moon.  I like it better with the moon... seems to add a bit more depth and dimension.  With an orange moon and a few witches flying about, this would make for a pretty cool Halloween card too.  Endless possibilities ;-)

Ok, that's about it for today... give this technique a try... it's really fun!

Thanks for dropping by...
