Boo!

Halloween cards are so much fun to make.  Then again, I think almost every card is fun to make!  Fall colors are terrific and add such depth to cards.  The card below is full of colors and embellishments.

The basic card is kraft stock with a solid orange layer.  The printed paper was purchased last year, but I think it is Martha Stewart.    Burlap is so perfect for Halloween and other fall cards.  I remembered I had a ribbon that sort of looked like spider webbing and found this metallic webby type ribbon in my box. 

I love the splatter stamp and Copic colored pumpkins, too.

After making this card, I realized I needed to make another to send to my sister.   The card is pretty much the same except for the orange tag behind the 'boo!' stamp.

 

The orange tag does make a difference.  I can't decide which I like better.  What do you think?

I'm entering the second card in The Shabby Tea Room #186 Challenge.

The challenge was to create a card based on this picture and include burlap, twine and a pumpkin or two.  Fun!

Enjoy your week,
Kathy

Christmas Cards Continued

More Christmas cards.   The first card is really simple - using a free printable I found on Pinterest.   I pasted the Christmas and Holiday sayings on an 8.5" x 11" piece of white card stock (four times), hit the print button and then cut the big piece into four pieces.  Add a layer of green to a red card and a little bow --  a great and verrrrryyyyy quick card to make.  I think it looks happy and is colorful!

 

The next card may look difficult to make, but it was quick and fun to make.  It has a little shabby chic look to it, too.  The designer paper came with the bottom edge already cut with that sort of scallop look.  I used a lace corner punch on the top corners of the paper and a round corner punch on the  green card to soften the look.  On top of the paper doily is a printable from a Fiskars contest that was held a couple months ago.  I added a few roses to the center of the LOVE circle.   "Peace on Earth" was stamped on white card stock and I used the lace corner punch on two corners and trimmed the other corners.  The final touch was a sheer ribbon and bow. 

That's it for today.  More to come.
