Twilight Halloween

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start. If you didn't get a chance to see the pop up card I posted yesterday, please scroll down to the post right before this one. I would love to hear any feedback you may have :)




For my card today, I decided to use this gorgeous image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This particular image is illustrated by the fabulous Elaine Cox and is called Twilight Halloween. This image is so gorgeous and so fun to color! I decided to go with nontraditional colors for this Halloween card. I colored the image with copics and then added a dot of Glossy Accents to the owl's eyes. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My design paper is from The American Paper Co. (I got it at Michael's). The sentiment is from Studio G. For some finishing touches, I added a bow (tied with my Bow Easy), pearls, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Make sure and stop by tomorrow, the Sweet Pea Stamps DT is having a blog hop to celebrate a new artist for the shop. I can't wait! :) Thanks so much as always for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Starry Halloween

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday! I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Last week just sort of got away from me. I was so busy at work and I have also been fighting a cold so I've been a little run down. I've gotten some much needed R&R this weekend and of course, some time in the craft room :) I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)




When I saw this new image illustrated by Elaine Cox for Sweet Pea Stamps, I was so excited! This image is SO beautiful and SO much fun to color. It stamps beautifully too. The image is called Starry Halloween. I first stamped the image on Neenah white cardstock and then colored the image with copics (e-mail me if you want the list, I used a lot!). I added some Stardust Stickles to the stars in the sky and I added some Glossy Accents to the owl's eyes (this is hard to see in the pictures, but it really gives a nice, fun effect). Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from DCWV (the new Halloween stack, I got mine at JoAnn's). For some finishing touches, I added some purple Offrey ribbon (last weekend I went to the Offrey outlet in Hagerstown and got probably 20 pounds of ribbon for less than $20 . . . such a fun trip!) :). I also added some pearls and some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Trick or Treat

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week. For my card today, I just had to ink up another of these cute little witches from Sweet Pea Stamps. This one is called Trick or Treat and I think she's absolutley adorable. I colored the image with copics and then added some Stardust Stickles to her little pumpkin treat bag. I then sponged around the image with light orange ink. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from MME (my favorite paper company!). For some finishing touches, I added some orange pearls, a double looped bow (which I tied with my bow easy), Primas, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today, I have a super crazy busy day ahead of me. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Thank you all so much for stopping by!

Sweet Little Halloween Witch - Sweet Pea Stamps

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! Another work week is here and boy is it a crazy busy week for me! I'm already looking forward to the weekend :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Hubby and I got some errands run, did some work around the house, and hubby watched tons of football while I played in the craft room. :) I got quite a bit done so I should have quite a few projects to share with you this week.




I'm so excited to share my card with you today. When Lynette, owner of Sweet Pea Stamps showed us these cute new Halloween witches illustrated by Elaine Cox, I just fell in love with them. I LOVE Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays to make cards for. This little witch is called Magical Night and I think she is SO cute! I colored the image with copics and then added some Stardust Stickles to her stockings and to her broom (because what witch wouldn't want a sparkly broom?!?!) :) Next I sponged around the image with Versamagic Purple Hydrangea ink. I then created my card base out of SU cardstock (Basic Black, Perfect Plum). The DP is from Cosmo Cricket (Matilda stack . . . LOVE this paper). For some finishing touches, I added ribbon, a bow, pearls, Primas, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thank you all so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Back up and Running - New Sweet Pea DT Card

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! :) Hubby got the Internet issues sorted out yesterday with Verizon so we're back up and running. I have a quick post for you today (have to head in to work a bit early)




For my card today, I just had to ink up this adorable new image from Elaine Cox for Sweet Pea Stamps. This particular image is called Playing with Stars and I think it's adorable! I am determined to send all my friends and family Halloween cards this year so I'm getting an early start :)

I colored my image with copics and then added Stardust Stickles to the stars and to the cat's wings. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Basic Black and Perfect Plum). The design paper is from Recollections (from Michael's). I used my SU ticket corner punch in all the corners and added light lavender pearls. For some finishing touches, I added a ribbon, bow, and cat charm. What do you think?

Sorry to be so short today but must get to work. Thank you all so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!
