You've Put A Spell On Me

Is everyone enjoying their fall weather and, hopefully, cooler temperatures???

We are supposed to drop 20° tomorrow! I'm not sure if it's the beginning of fall or winter, lol.

I'm stopping in today to share a couple Halloween cards. On the first card I used a new Silhouette Studio cut file. I just love this sexy witch holding her potion!

I thought she deserved a little sparkle, so I used some glitter paper and a few rhinestones.

Supplies used: card stock - recycled white, black green glitter; patterned paper - Spiderwebs in The Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park; witch and banner - Silhouette Studio cut files; Labels Eight Nestabilities by Spellbinder; rhinestones - K & Co.; font - Frank Condensed; Pop Dots.

For my second card I cased an adorable card by Audrey Pettit that was in my Cards magazine. I just love the cute ghosts, which were fussy cut from patterned paper, holding the little banners. 

 I changed the tags Audrey used in her card to a fence, using a border punch to make the fence.

Supplies used: card stock - vanilla, red, black; patterned papers - October Night and Midnight Moon in Night Fall by American Crafts; ribbon - 3 Girl Jam; twine, button, stick pins - my stash; stamp - Magic Spells by BugBites; rub ons - American Crafts; border punch - Martha Stewart; sewing machine; Pop Dots

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Just Because

I have a little tag to share today, that I made for the Itty Bitty A Day challenge going on over at the Unity Show and Tell page on Facebook.

There have been so many beautiful creations by everyone in the group using Itty Bitty stamps by Unity.

For my little tag I used two Itty Bitty sets, "Sweet Owl Just Because" for the sentiment and "Best Things Just Happen" for the pretty flower.

I stamped the flower on a vintage dictionary page and colored it with my Copics. I also stamped it on blending paper so I could color and fussy cut out the flower only. I then attached it with a Pop Dot for dimension.

Supplies used: tag - Staples Office Supply; card stock - kraft, vanilla; vintage dictionary page - Thrift Store; border punch - Fiskars; stamps - Unity; Copic markers; ink - Rich Cocoa by Memento;  ribbon - 3 Girl Jam; twine - Liz's Paper Loft Boutique; button - my stash
