Happy Halloween

Hope you had a spooktacular day! Thought I'd better post this project before the day was out, or I'd have to wait until next year! I made this very simple card in a Jiffy using the latest release's over at Stampotique. The Pumpkin is from Halloween Cube 2, The sentiment and Kisses Line image is by the very talented Jo Capper-Sandon!

I love to colour on Kraft Cardstock, it requires little effort and I just like the look that you can achieve. Hope that you had lot's of sweet treats today.......I wish that Jonathon was still trick or treating, because I'd have a Candy Stash to raid..............hmmmmm off to find something sweet!

Happy Halloween,

Vicki

Spooktacular!

Have you seen this spooktacular box from our designer, Kaz Boughton?  The ghosts & goblins are keeping those glimmer mists safe & sound inside that dungeon of a box.  Such fabulous colors on her creation!

If you haven't seen the new challenge over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge, come visit us and join us this week to create something Creepy, Spooky and Crawly with your Stampotique Originals stamps.

The Scottish Play

Have you seen the new challenge up over at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge yet?  Come join us over there as we pay homage to the upcoming "Fright Night"!  Valerie has embraced her dark side and challenges us to create something spooky, freaky, ghoulish, dreadful, dark, mysterious, creepy, ghastly, tragic, grim, shocking, wicked and fun using only Stampotique Originals stamps!

This creation was made by Sue Roddis.  You can read more about the details on her blog here.

Pumpkin patch

 Pumpkins for sale at the pumpkin patch!
PUMPKINS from HALLOWEEN CUBE 2

 The pumpkins are stamped onto ready coloured card and then cut out leaving a small tab at the bottom. Cut slits in the card at the base, slip the tab through and secure underneath. This makes the pumpkins stand up proud of the surface.

 

Here is the salesman looking hopeful! He is WEASEL with thank you.

Friendship Bunnies

These images have been sitting around on my desk for some while and I finally took the time to create some cards with all of them.  This is using the Blueberry Bunnies in a Basket stamp with the We Cannot Part with Our Friends sentiment.  I thought it was quite appropriate with this darling image.

Hope you enjoy the card, I love how it turned out!  If you want any additional details you can visit my blog at Basement Stamper.

My Dark Angel

Here is my dark angel in Halloween style. I love that angelboy stamp; it's one of my favourites. Made the background with liquid watercolours.
Stamps I used are all Stampotique Originals:
3014 - splatter long
3025 - web
3031 - abstract foliage
3037 - old english halloween
6106 - angelboy
6117 - birds and bugs cube
7164 - numeric

Mr. Snow

I chose a pretty simple image for this card, using Mr. Snow and paper piecing his tie with some Jovial design paper from Basic Grey.  I decided not to color any of it and just let his tie stand out but now that I look at it, I may color his hat and nose to make him POP a little more.  I stamped my background with some snowflakes  in Berry Sorbet to create a contrasting background to the Green papers.  I sewed around the green/Jovial panel-I'm so happy to have my sewing machine in order again!

Happy Friday!

Carrot 'Bout You

Isn't Carrot just the cutest?  I had some colored images laying around so decided it was time I put together a few cards with them.  This card came together really quick since I had everything already stamped and I didn't add any embellishments on...hmm, no embellishments, might have to change that now that I'm looking at it.

The layout I used was one of the Clean & Simple Stamping layouts, FTL101.  Obviously I changed the star out for a large circle to put Carrot on and of course the "I carrot about you" sentiment always makes me smile, hope you like it too!
