Halloween Fun closure

 The cover is mostly DSP and ribbon with the Halloween banner stamped and colored with watercolor pencils. It is also trimmed a bit shorter on the right side with a notch punched in the back page for a closure. The bottom picture is also DSP and a tag I had in my stash, as well as a jack-o-lantern eyelit on the notch.

This is actually a square card so will be placed in a larger envelope or a square envelope which will require extra postage.

Halloween is fast approaching and quickly opening the window to more holidays. In fact, I saw a post that there are only TEN more Saturdays til Christmas!!! YIKES!!!  LOL

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!!

Spider Gatefold

The gatefold is a fun card fold. It just means that the card opens from the middle. This was created with designer papers and a little stamping on the inside. You could stamp the spider, but I actually had a cut out that I used. Try this technique with any card that you want to make. Just change the dsp and it could be a Christmas, Birthday, Spring, Fall, or what ever you need. You can dress it up with extra stamping or embellishments, too.

The top picture is of the card in a plastic sleeve so you can see it closed. Sorry about the "spotlight". :)

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Stipple Blossom Notecards

These will be a gift. Hope she likes them. The trim on the left side of each card is using the lace tape as a stencil and sponging. The flowers are then just stamped on. This is a very simple and fast project. I think they would make great cards, too, just add a sentiment. I might even add some crystal effects to the flowers for "dew".

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Pumpkin Surprise

This cute and fun stamp was purchased here . All I did was stamp on pumpkin pie and whisper white card stock and colored with my watercolor pencils. The pumpkin pull out was stamped with only the lid a second time on pumpkin pied cardstock and placed on top of the pull out with dimensionals. I added some sparkle with Dazzling Details to give the one kitty's color some bling.

Hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
