Headstone Skull

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

 

To start this tag off.......I covered a Whisper White tag with 3/4" panels of the 'Monster Bash Designer Series Paper'.

 Next.....I created a Black banner flag for the center of my tag.....

 

And die-cut one of the 'Ornate Frames' and stamped my 'Spooktacular Bash' sentiment in the center of that frame.  I used VersaMark ink and sprinkled 'Black Embossing Powder' over the sentiment and then heat set it with my Heat Tool.

 

I added some 'Gray Granite 1/2 Textured Weave Ribbon' that I had shredded and tied it off with a small piece of 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

 

My finishing touch was adding three skull stickers from the 'Monster Bash Enamel Shapes' to the front of tag......

 

And that's all it took to create this fun Halloween tag.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Creepy Headstones

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

 

Here's another quick & easy Halloween card for you.

 

I started with a Whisper White note card and stamped my sentiment from the 'Spooktacular Bash' set with VersaMark in the lower left corner.  I then sprinkled Black Embossing Powder over it and used my heat tool to set that.

 

The 'Ornate Frames' did all the work for me in creating three spooky/fun frames....And I filled each of them with one of the headstones from the 'Monster Bash Enamel Shapes'.

 

And the finishing touch was adding some 'Black 3/8" Scallop Ribbon' around the fold of my card ...... And then I tied it up into a pretty knot in the middle.

 

And that's all it took to create this creepy Halloween card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spooky Banner

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  I honestly can't remember who to give credit for this project......But I know if you look at Pinterest....It will probably show up.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

I created several of these Spooky Banners this year.

 

I made one for each of my Downline Helpers who jumped in and helped at our October Downline Meeting.

 

The banners are cut out from the DSP chipboard.....

And then covered with Crumb Cake card stock.....

 

And I used LOTS of circle layers......And retired alphabet dies.

 

I also pulled out two different background stamps.....

 

And stamped each banner with Black ink.

 

So I had two left over......

 

And I hung one in each of our bathrooms.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

SpookTacular Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Mix It UP! Monday and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ....... but added a couple additional products found in the 2019 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 

 Here's my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP.....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM.....

 

The upgrades on this card were slight.....

But made for a BIG IMPACT.

 

I kept the 'Monster Bash DSP' at 1-1/4" but shorten those to 3-3/4".  The other upgrade I made to this card was adding a White & Black panel to the front.

 

 My sentiment was stamped on a Whisper White 'Stitched Shapes' square. 

A single skull image from the 'Monster Bash Enamel Shapes' was added.

 

Before I adhered down my DSP panel......I wrapped some 'Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon' around it and tied it into a pretty knot over the DSP panels.

 

 So tell me friends......

What do you think????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
 

Spooktacular

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2019 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

 

In need of a quick & easy Halloween card????

Let the 'Monster Bash Designer Series Paper' do the work for you!!!

 

I cut 1-1/4" x 4" panels of the 'Monster Bash DSP' and adhered those down to the left hand side of my Whisper White card front.

 

Next.....I stamped my sentiment from the 'Spooktacular Bash' set and used my 'Layering Oval Dies' to crop out both the sentiment and a Black scallop oval piece.

 

The finishing touch was adding a few 'Monster Bash Enamel Shapes around the white space of my card .......

 

 And this card was done in a HOT New York minute.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this very card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

12-Square Trick or Treat

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the project I created using the September Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

I created this card by using two of the boxes that came with this kit.

 

All I had to do was cut squares that measured 1" x 1" from the two boxes ........ And arrange them on the front of a Black panel.

 

I wrapped some 'Linen Thread' around the finished panel.......

 

And then created a sentiment piece for the front.

 

Just couldn't be any easier.....

And the look is kind of SPOOKY with the copper tint on the squares.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Dracula

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

 

I have to admit.......

I'm CRAZY about the way this tag turned out.

 

I started out by stamping my sentiment from the 'Itty Bitty Greetings' onto a 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock.  I used VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Black Embossing Powder' to help my sentiment POP.

 

Next......I stamped my Dracula from the 'Spooktacular Bash' set (also with VersaMark and Black Embossing Powder) onto a piece of Whisper White card stock.......And then grabbed my 'Ornate Frames' to crop that little cutie out.

 

I mounted both the sentiment and the stamped Dracula onto a panel of Black card stock.  And before adhering it down to my Pumpkin Pie tag.......I wrapped some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine around the top of that Black card stock and tied it up into a pretty bow.

 

To finish off my tag ..... I added some 'Granny Apple Green 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' to the top and added a few 'Glitter Enamel Dots' around my tag.

 

And there you have it friends......

Dracula and all his CUTENESS in one sweet little tag.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Let me ask you something my friends.......

Do you ever find yourself needing a bunch of Halloween cards

Next......Take three 1-1/4" stripes of Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White card stock and position those behind the die-cut oval.

 

Glue those three pieces of card stock to the inside of your card.  Then take a 3-1/2" x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock and adhere that panel to the inside of your card.
