The Taters Go Trick Or Treating

Hello friends!  It's time to get cracking on those Halloween cards.  This is a really quick card because there isn't any crazy coloring.  As I have said before, Positive Tate by Crafty Stamp Co. is one of my favorites.  He always makes me smile.  

For this card, I used Crafty Stamp Co.'s Positive Tate's Halloween Scare.  I used Copic Markers in the following colors:

• E30, E31, E34, E35 - Tate
• C1, C3, C5 - Mummy
• C1, C3, C5 - Caldron

Various purples, greens, oranges and yellows for the banner and candy.

I used paper from the Boo Bash Paper Collection for all the background papers on this card.  

Now how's that for a quick card?  I hope you love it as much as I do!

Mushroom Harvest

It is the 20th of the month so it is time for an Oh So Inspired Card.

This month's inspiration card is a card by Sandi McIver or @sandimciver on Instagram.  I liked that she used an 3D embossing folder two different ways and let the ink blending be the start of the show.

For my card, I used a Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder of the month called Mushroom Harvest. I had bought this folder quite a while ago and was excited to finally use it.  I wanted to really highlight the various mushrooms and foliage, so rather than ink blend, I used Copic markers to color them in.  I also double matted my center panel to make sure to pull out the colors I used.

For the sentiment, I used Trinity Stamps Simply Sentimental: Hello Coordinating Die Set.  To add a little richness to the card, I used a gold metallic cardstock for my lettering.  I also added a few sparkle spots for a little bling.

I am absolutely crazy about this card and am so glad I was able to use the embossing folder.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see how you were "Oh So Inspired".

Happy Birthday Earthling!!!

 

Command control to Earth—we have the cutest alien encounter in the galaxy! This little visitor is zooming in to wish one lucky earthling a happy birthday, and with that wide smile and those happy eyes, he is far more sweet than scary. Suit up, space friends—I think we’re perfectly safe blasting off for a fun adventure among the stars together!

I created this card for this week's Craft Roulette challenge #336.  At first I was at a loss with the Element; Ship(s)(ing) until Mr. Producer said it could include a rocket ship.  Perfect!!! I have a few of them from Trinity Stamps.  I am not sure that I have ever used the Flight Deck Die Set before, so I was excited to play with it.  This card came together fairly quick. 

This weeks parameters are:

Project: Happy Birthday

Colors: Happy Colors

Element: Ship(s)(ing)

Random: Sparkles

Supplies:

• Flight Deck Die Set – Trinity Stamps
• Tiny Alien Die Set – Trinty Stamps
• We’ve Come For Cake (sentiment) – Trinity Stamps
• I think this card is just adorable and will be great to have on hand.

You're Spooky and Sweet

 

Peekaboo! This adorable little ghost has discovered the perfect hiding spot inside this grinning Jack-o’-lantern. He may be tucked away in a spooky forest, but with that sweet little smile, he looks more ready for Halloween fun than fright!

I created this card using the new digital stamp by Sweet November Stamps for this week’s Spooky Season Spectacular—and it was such a treat to bring this cute little haunt to life!

To build the spooky-sweet scene, I mixed ink blending, die cutting, and coloring, then had a blast shopping my stash. It’s always a fun little treasure hunt, and I love rediscovering supplies I had completely forgotten were lurking there!

Copic colors:
