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:

Stampendous Frida Cat Stamp

Stampendous Mixed Media White Paper

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad byTsukineko

Copic Markers

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

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.

Feathers

Today I'm sharing one more Stampendous Spring Catty Sneak Peek!  I've used the new Feathers rubber stamp as well as one of the sentiments from our new Brushed Wishes Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.  All of the sentiments are awesome, I know you'll love this set!  I'm nuts about the new Feathers Rubber Stamp!  I love to find feathers when I'm out for a walk.  They're like a little token of friendship left behind just for me.  I really enjoyed creating this card, especially adding all the fun sparkle at the end.  Nothing dresses a card up better than a combination of mica and glitter.  While not new, the Stampendous Gold Lux Mix is the perfect blend!

Rose Garden

Fall has just arrived so you know what that means, right?!  Stampendous is giving you a little sneak peek into our Spring line with the soon to be released October 2017 catalog.  There are so many awesome stamps to help shake away the coming winter blues.  It's like opening the gate to your very own rose garden!  You're going to love the many florals and other lighthearted stamps that signify the changing of the seasons.  Today, I'm sharing with you one of my favorites, Heart Vines.  I love how the vines form a perfect and beautiful heart that practically screams romance and love.  It was easy to turn this stamped image into a sweet shabby chic card to share with a loved one.
