Butterfly and Spider Web Halloween Card

 I was inspired by a You Tuber - Prarie Paper and Ink and wanted to see if I could re create the card she made but using products I had in my stash.

I started off by cutting out two Deckle Edge panels from My Favorite things using Sugar Cube card stock from Taylored Expressions.  I used my Mister from Tim Holtz before I embossed with a Spider Web embossing folder by Stampin Up.

I used My Favorite Things Cement Grey ink to swipe lightly on the debossed side of the panel.

If you press to hard, this is what your panel will look like, but have no fear I did end up cutting up some strips to use on the inside of my cards.

Using a die from the Stamps of Life I cut out some butter fly's in Grape and Cotton Candy from My Favorite Things.  I have them on a rag from Walmart then I will use my pokey tool to press out the insides.  The rag will catch them nicely until I can dump them in the garbage.

I also cut out some Licorice card stock from the Stamps of Life.
I also used black glitter paper from my stash.
I will glue the black to the back of the glitter to make it look seamless.

I used some white and pink along with white and purple twine.
I wrapped it around the center and used washi tape from my stash to adhere it to the back of the panel.
I also used Stampin Up dimensionals on the back as well.

I used Pinkfresh studios glitter drops in Blossom and Amethyst.
I also used a Queen and Company flat backed black glitter do dad.

Finished two cards.

The larger butter fly is on two layers of foam and the sentiment and smaller butter fly is on a single layer.
I used Stampin Up black dimensionals. 

I used a stamp set from My Favorite Things called Spider Web.
I stamped it in the Cement Grey on Sugar Cube card stock.
I used a sponge dauber and very lightly inked the sentiment.

The same Deckle Edge die and Sugar Cube card stock from the inside.
A strip from my boo boo panel in the begining and some more smaller butter fly's.
The stamp set on the inside is also form Queen and Company.

I used two colors for the card bases.
Cement Grey and Gravel Grey - both from My Favorite Things.
I stamped the back from a stamp set from Queen and Company.
Also a stamp set from Altnew.

BOO card with Wood Shapes

 I used products that I have had for a while now, some new as well.

I started with my back ground.
I used some Fresh Snow paste from Taylored Expressions - its their Happy Medium.
I am also using their Black Licorice card stock.
The stencil is from Scrapbook.com and is called little ghosts.

I believe I got these wood pieces last year at Micheal's.

They had a few different designs, I choose the ghost with the big open mouth and the BOO

I have two embossing pads - Versa Mark.
I have a clean one and a dirty type one.

I first inked up the wood die cut with Dill Pickle ink from Taylored Expressions.
I also dried the wood die cut before adding the Versa Mark and Zing Green Glitter embossing powder.

This is three layers of the Recollections Snow embossing powder from Micheal's.

I decided to embosse with the same Recollections Snow powder.
I decided to cut out the panel using a Scaloped Rectangle die from the Stamps of Life.

Since the Ghost and BOO have dimension, I did not want to add any more.
 I used Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere everything.
I decided I wanted the card base to look like the boo wood die cut.
I used Dill Pickle card stock and more of the Zing Embossing Powder and just used Versa Mark around the edge of the card stock mat.

I used Dill Pickle ink and a stamp set called Boo-Day from Catherine Pooler designs.

I used my back of the card stamp set that I got from Altnew and paired it with the same Catherine Pooler stamp set.

Rainbow Paint Card

 I decided to use something I have not and wanted a rainbow theme.

I brought out some items from Taylored Expressions and the Stamps of Life to accomplish this.

I am using Pink and Main Ice Rink card stock to ink blend.
I find this card stock has been the best quality other then Bristol Smooth card stock

I am using ink from the Stamps of Lie.
Strawberry, Tangerine, Sunshine, Green Apple, Blueberry - for the brush strokes.

Taylored Expressions ink blending tools work wonders.

I lightly inked anouther panel, going heavier on the edges. 
These will be for the inside of the cards.

I cut the brush handles from Grape card stock and the brush bristles from Vanilla card stock.
The band is from a Silver Pearl card stock.

This is just a few of my enamel dot stash.  I started in the begining by storeing them by color, then I just threw them in a drawer as well.

Front of the card.
My card base is also Twig card stock from the Stamps of Life.

Jack Mug Card #1

I decided to to create a Halloween Mug card and brought out my Pixi Dust Design's Jack Mug I looked on their website for inspiration and found the photo, I changed it by using different colors and adding different embellishments as well.

I started off by cutting some Bazzill Paper in the color Marshmallow.
I also inked the edges very lightly in the color Cloud from the Stamps of Life.
I am using my Waffle Flower grip mat - it perminitly lives on my Wendy Vechy Make Ark glass matt, which is next to my paper trimmer in my cart next to my desk.

I also cut from Bazzill Paper Licorice Twist card stock.
I am using Art Glitter Glue and Tweezers from the Stamps of Life to adhere my pieces.
The die leaves some debossed images to help guide the pieces into place.

I cut from Twig card stock - which is also from the Stamps of Life.

Bristol Smooth card stock to ink blend two back grounds.
Dark to Light or Light to Dark its you preferance.
One in Dusty Concord and the other in Picked Raspberry from Tim Holtz distress ink.

I splattered them with water that I let sit for about 30 seconds and picked up the remaining water with a paper towel.

I used Concord and 9th All together upper and lower case dies to customize my sentiment.
The apostraphy cam from a random die set I found.
Again tweezers and Art Glitter glue to apply.

Black foam from Stampin Up.

I also added some brown splatter from a Tim Holtz distress paint.
Sequins from Pink & Main - Diamond Confetti.

One of the finished cards.

"Joy" coffee card

 I decided to play again with an item I have not. I pulled out my Concord & 9th Cup of Kindness Dies to start with and paired them with my other favorite company's the Stamps of Life, Pink and Main, and Taylored Expressions.

I used the dies to cut out some Taylored Expressions card stock in the colors Sea Salt and Oyster.

My card base is in Oyster and my inside layer is in Sea Salt.
I added some extra pattern paper to the inside to tie it to the front of the card.

I choose some 12X12 pattern paper from a Micheal's pad.

Some Stampin Up dimensionals to the back of the cup.

The lid cam cut in two pieces to create dimension.
I added foam to the second piece.

My Joy die came from the Stamps of Life and I cut that out of their Silver 6X6 paper.

Finished card.

Side View.
The sleeve comes in two dies - an outline die and a die to create the texture on the inside.
I also added some Pink & Main Pearl Confetti with my Pink tool and Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

I used some Oyster ink to stamp the sentiment inside.
It came from a the Stamps of Life stamp set called Pumpkin Spice.
