Happy Halloween


Trick or Treat!!


It's finally here!  It's Halloween!!  Of course, that also means it's the last day of the 31 Days of Halloween.  It's been fun playing along throughout the month and I'm already looking forward to next year.  For my final card, I've used the Stampendous Frida Cat.  I am so in love with this stamp!


Here's what I used to create this card:

Copic Markers
Sweet Potato Cardstock by My Colors
Poolside Cardstock by My Colors
Zip Dry Paper Glue

Here's what I did to create this card:

Stamp image on white paper with black ink
Color image and trim along edges
Create card base from orange paper
Trim turquoise paper as mat for image
Adhere all layers as shown

Such a simple card and easy to create but I do love the impact Frida provides.  The cat is pretty darn cute, too!  Thanks so much for following along with our 31 Days of Halloween.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Boo!

Trick or Treat?



Trick or Treat!  It's Day 20 of the 31 Days of Halloween and my card today features Haunted Hill Rubber Stamp from Stampendous.  Given the opportunity, I would so love to live in this house!  The spooky vibe just thrills my heart to the core.  Years ago when I was just a kid, this is the kind of house I would be scared to Trick or Treat at but I would do it anyway just to prove I'm not a chicken!  LOL!  I love Halloween and all of the fun and scariness that comes with it!
