H is for Hopeful Halloween at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Only the Sisterhood would think of combining Halloween and Hope for  Breast Cancer month. Head on over to the main BLOG check out the  rules and see the awesomeness of the rest of the design team. Since the rest of the sisters were making Pink Halloween cards I didn’t want to be left out so I made one too.

I must admit I had a hoot designing this, The stamp was a prize from Graphicat designs I won a couple of years ago and had never seen ink, their new store is open now have a look around they have some freebies and a sketch to use. I stamped the image twice and coloured up the shoe, covered it with stickles and popped it up. I found a piece of glitter cardstock (dollar store) to make the scalloped rectangle and glitter layer (I cut the rectangle out of the center of the piece I used for the layer) The patterned paper is from Theresa Collins Halloween Party pad and I used  watered down pink silks acrylic glaze to give it a pink glow and it’s sparkly too.

See how glittery the shoe is

I finished the inside with a bit of glitter cardstock and a sentiment from a clear Halloween set, I have no idea who’s it is as there is no packaging. I also used a black card base from the dollar store and the size of the card is 4 X  6 and has an envelope to match.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will join us for the H is for Hopeful Halloween.

Toast to the New Year with the Drunken Stampers…….

Welcome to a New Year’s Day bonus challenge  January 1 to January 4th 2013. Check out the design team’s inspiration for the challenge. You will find all about it at the Drunken Stamper’s Challenge Blog.

I dug out my glitter cardstock again for another glitzy card. The image I used is a digital from Sassy Studio Designs, check them out they have some fun images. The sentiment is from Grapicat Designs, which is a Canadian company, they have everything there, clear, rubber, and digi stamps as well as embellishments. While you are there check out the sketch challenge.

Here is what I used:

Cardstock….Tempting turquoise GP white

DSP…..is a mystery where I got it

Glitter cardstock……dollar store

Spellbinder Large Ovals

Border punch……SU

Thanks for taking time to have a look at what I have been doing.  May 2013 bring you happiness and lots of crafting time.

Singing Happy Birthday to You!!!

I made this card for a friend of mine that loves Black, White and Red together. The image is from Graphicat Designs, I won a prize on a blog hop there and this was one of the many stamps plus other items in the “surprise” box. The background paper was also out of the box. I hope you will drop by Graphicat Designs and see the great stamps and lots of other items in their store. What is really great about them is they are a Canadian  company. The image was coloured with prisma pencils and oms. I cut the image and scalloped edge with my long rectangles then added the black satin ribbon.
