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!!!!

A little unusual for a fall card, but that's what a challenge is - makes you think outside the box!!

I added a little rhinestone on the heart to catch your eye.

Merci


I have to admit that I pretty much, totally, "cased" this card from one of my magazines. It was absolutely to adorable to tweak it very much.

The fence and the rooster were both cut using Silhouette Studio cut files. I used Freebooter Script font to print my sentiment. The background is stamped with a chicken wire stamp and white ink by Hampton Art. I had the cute little button in my stash.


Supplies used: card stock - recycled white, black; patterned paper - Executive in Take Note by Studio Calico; stamp - my stash; ink - White in ala mode by Hampton Art; Silhouette Studio cut files; ribbon - Michaels; button - my stash; font - Freebooter Script; Pop Dots.

Halloween Cards


Happy Wednesday!!

I hope you are having a great week and perhaps getting some crafty time in.

I'm stopping in today to share a few Halloween Cards with you.

The first is really fairly simple. A kraft card stock base with some machine stitching around the edges. Some skeletons stamped on white card stock and fussy cut, then attached to the card base with pop dots.


Supplies used: card stock - white, kraft; stamps - Halloween Mono Assortment by Inkadinkadoo; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento; Sewing Machine; Pop Dots


The second card I created around a bingo card I printed and cut from a Silhouette Studio cut file. I tied some twine around it with a cute little spider button I had in my stash. The rosette is made with a Tim Holtz die and I attached a sentiment die by Authentique on top of it. The bat doily it is all placed over is also a Silhouette Studio cut file.



Supplies used: card stock - black, orange, tan; patterned papers - Afterglow in Glowing by Authentique and Under Your Spell in The Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park; Silhouette Studio cut files; ink - black by ColorBox; rosette die by Tim Holtz; sentiment die by Authentique; button - Doodlebug; twine - Orange Licorice by trendy Twine; Copic marker; sewing machine.


For the last card I based mine on a card which I found in one of my Cards magazines. I used some papers and stickers in the Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park and I used the little bats that were cut out to make the doily in the previous card. It was double sided paper so I just used the reverse side. 


A few little rhinestones for some sparkle.


Supplies used: card stock - black; patterned paper - Under Your Spell in The Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park; stickers - Under Your Spell in The Apothecary Emporium by Echo Park; Silhouette Studio cut file; rhinestones - Kaiser Craft.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!
