Ghouls OWL-ways Want to Have Fun!

Happy Sunday Everyone, it's Sunday Eve here and time to put this weekend in the books.  In the run up to Halloween, I have a few more cards to share.  This one was created with the Darcie's Heart and Home set titled Owl You Doin'.

The patterned papers are from the "Happy Halloween" 6x6 paper pad from Carta Bella.  I've watercolored the image using Gansai Tambi watercolors onto Tim Holtz Watercolor card.  The focal image and mat have been die cut using nesting circle dies from Kat Scrappiness, as well as the sentiment, which has been heat embossed also.


To finish the design, I've added extra large orange sequins from my stash.  It will soon be Halloween Night, do you get Trick or Treaters?  We don't have as many as we used to, all the kids in the neighborhood have grown up, moved away and now have children of their own.  It's amazing how time flies.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge Prompt #54

Hello and Happy Monday!  Welcome to October and a new monthly challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  We're on inspiration prompt #54 which is here:


When I look at this picture, I'm inspired by Halloween, Costume Parties and Trick-or-Treating.  I've used the Boo Mummy digital image from Polkadoodles for my project this month.  This adorable fella is part of the Boo Halloween Series.


I've colored him using Prismacolor Pencils and die cut the image using a spiral stitched nesting oval die from My Favorite Things.  The patterned papers are from Kat Scrappiness.


The sentiment strip is from Simon Says Stamp and has been popped on craft foam along with the focal image.  I've not added any bells or whistles to this card as he is on his way overseas and I didn't want him to get damaged in the post.

Please join us at The Inspiration Station Challenge this month.  We have a great prize on offer and we are always delighted to see how the inspiration prompts inspire your designs.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Happy Llama-ween!

Hi Friends, it's Crafty Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start and you're doing something crafty.  Today I have a quick share featuring a sweet Llama from the Llama-ween Stamp Set by Darcie's Heart and Home.


I've colored the images using Prismacolor Pencils and the patterned papers are from Kat Scrappiness.  I've decided to go with a landscape orientation for this card.


I've created a banner and added some black twine, also added a small pre-made sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp and purple gems from my stash; I've also stamped a sentiment from the set.  Lastly, I've covered the pumpkin and saddle blanket with Wink of Stella.  

That's all for today.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Boo Dracula

Hi Friends and Happy Friday Eve!  Today I have a quick share for you featuring the Boo Dracula digital stamp from Polkadoodles.  He's part of the Boo Halloween series and he's super cute!


I've colored Boo Dracula using Prismacolor Pencils and die cut the focal image using a fancy banner die.  The black background panel has been embossed with a Halloween folder and white ink has been lightly blended over top.


I've added snippets of patterned paper and sequins for additional interest.  The ghost and teeny bat are pieces of a sequin mix from Kat Scrappiness, the sentiment strip is from a Halloween pack from Simon Says Stamp.

That's all for today, until next time - Happy Crafting!

Black Kitty and Friends

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!  It's been a crafty day here and I have a quick share for you this evening.  I've been busy getting my Halloween Happy Mail completed so I can post them by October 1st.  Today's card features another set of images from the Gina K. Designs Haunts and Harvest Stamp and Coordinating Die Sets.


This A2 sized card was a quick and easy project as no coloring involved, just stamping with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and die cutting the images.  The papers are from the Happy Halloween 6x6 paper pad from Carta Bella.  The patterned papers have a Retro vibe which makes them extra cool.


The Sentiment is from a Halloween set of premade strips from Simon Says Stamp. The Kitty and sentiment have been popped on foam pads for dimension and no extra bling added this time.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
