TRICK OR TREAT

As soon as I saw my package of the new October Frantic Stamper release that was sent to the Design Team, I knew it was also going to be used for my Halloween card that I send out yearly to my family. Trick or Treating is one of my favorite memories with my brothers and sisters growing up. We had so much fun and looked forward to it all year long! 


In making my 5"x5" card, I used SU Only Orange and Basic Black card stock.
A Piece of DP from my Halloween paper stash and a piece of 3/8" Halloween ribbon. Various colors of Copics were used to color all of the little candy pieces.
Frantic Stamper Dies (FRA-DIE-10883) Halloween Candy Bucket and (FRA-DIE-10684) Reverse Cut Halloween Words were the main dies used.

        HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

BEWARE!

I'm back with another fun Halloween card made with more of the Frantic Stamper dies from their August release.


I used the FRA-DIE-10884 Cupcake & Halloween Toppers #1, FRA-DIE-09234 Scary Words and FRA-DIE-10752 Tri-Panel Card Base die from a previous release. The Tri-Panel Card Base die is one of my favorite dies now! I use it often for lots of different cards. The card stock used are all from Stampin UP! Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive. The background was done using several colors of Gina K Design inks along with blending brushes. I like how it came out.

Halloween will be here before we know it. Here's a couple of Halloween cards I've made using some new dies from Frantic Stamper!


The card on the left was made using the Little Reaper die (FRA-DIE-10886). I took a black fine tip marker and drew on his teeth. Also used were Scary Words (FRA-DIE-09234) and the little headstone with the bats from the Cupcake & Halloween Toppers #2 die set (FRA-DIE-10885).

The card on the right was made using an awesome Spider Web Stitched Background (FRA-DIE-10882), Spooky Spider (FRA-DIE-09943) and the word from Scary Words (FRA-DIE-09234).  To make the spider web nice and dark, I inked the die with black ink before running it through my Big Shot. 

I just love making and receiving Halloween cards!

Hi everyone!
I'm here with another Halloween project I've created using the Frantic Stamper August release. As many of you know, I love Halloween and other things that the Autumn season brings.  As much as I enjoy making cards, I also like to turn my creative ideas into small gifts and other small items using stamps and dies.  Here is a shelf sitter I made for my craft room shelf.  Many of you know that I removed my red rubber stamps from their wood blocks (seen in a previous posting) I saved many of the wood blocks knowing that somewhere along the line I would find things to use them for. This wood block was one that I saved and repurposed with this project.


What I used to make my shelf sitter...

Frantic Stamper -Thirty-One Die (FRA-DIE-10887)
Frantic Stamper - Cupcake & Halloween Topper #1(FRA-DIE-10884) for the little  witches hat
Various pieces of card stock from my scrap stash
Lawn Fawn - Sparkle Cardstock (Pixie Dust) for the spider web
1 Wood Block 3 1/2" x 3 3/4"
Acrylic paint, sand paper, stain

BLUE JEAN BUDDIES

I'm back again with another Createful Heart Design card made for August. This image is called Blue Jean Buddies and can be found here https://marketplace.zibbet.com/createful-heart-design/blue-jean-buddies-digital-stamp.  Besides the digital image, I used Copics for the coloring, and some Kraft, Night of Navy, and Whisper White card stock. The sentiment is by Penny Black called Girlfriends. To add a finishing touch, I just added a yellow adhesive dot! 
This card was made for a very dear friend who is like a sister. I haven't seen her in such a long time and really do miss her. I'm pretty sure she'll like this card I made for her.

DRINK UP THE SUNSHINE

I've always loved MFT's little Pure Innocence images and this one is no exception.  It's called Drink up the Sunshine, isn't it super cute?


This card is my "summer card" that was made for my two sisters and a friend, Nancy, who lives in the sunshine state. I think it's a perfect card for summer with the little pineapple DP. Perhaps there's a pina colada in that little coconut or maybe some cold pineapple juice?  :)
