Skeleton Halloween Card

 I hope everyone had a great Halloween!  It was such a beautiful day here - 80 degrees - we sat outside giving away the candy. Our little Great Grandson Juan gave everyone a laugh driving from door to door in his card treat and treating!

Here is the card I made for him for Halloween!

I used the Halloween Words stencil again along with the Glitter Glaze and the die cut Happy Halloween  Banner with the Mini Skeleton from Scrapbook. I mounted the skeleton on a wobble so it would wiggle around! 

For my inside sentiment, I used  my old stamp from Michael's with some extra dies I had.  We had such a great time.

Ink Blending Halloween Cards

 We have been enjoying our beautiful weather so much that I forgot to post some more Halloween cards. I really liked doing the last cards I posted and decided to do some ink blending instead of using colored CS.  I think it gave the cards a whole different look!  I used Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Daffodil Delight inks.  I love these little guys!!

I used the Scattered Bat stencil again, but this time I used black ink and when dried I covered over the bats in Glitter Glaze.  I love how sparkly it turned out!

I used Gina K's Detail White embossing powder again for the sentiment over her Pigment White ink.  I like how clear the embossing turns out using the pigment ink!

My inside sentiment is the same as I had some bats left over.  Is it me or does anyone else have trouble using SU's punches.  They are so hard to use.  I always have Joe do it now!  LOL!!

Ghost Card

 Well, I'm back to making some Halloween cards.  I have a weakness for buying Halloween goodies and couldn't resist when I saw this cute little ghost from the Pretty Pink Posh release called - Halloween Corners.  There are so many cute Halloween stamps and dies this year!

I used Pumpkin Pie CS from SU for my base card.  For my layer I used SU's Highland Heather CS and did some blending with the darker color Gorgeous Grape.   Then I used Ranger's Distress Black Opaque Texture Paste on the Bat die from the release.  

I love how this  little ghost turned out holding his cute pumpkin.  There is a little die for his face which makes it easy and I backed it with a black circle.  For my sentiments, I stamped them in White Pigment ink and used white embossing powder and then a die to cut them out which makes it easy!

My inside sentiment is also from the release set and the bats are from a SU punch.  I liked how these cards turned out.  Juan went on his Pumpkin Patch field trip with his Nursey School and had a great time.  He didn't want a big pumpkin but a "Baby One"! 

 On the other hand, Jennifer went for a big one!!

They met at the mall and of course he wanted to go for a ride on his favorite car!  They had lots of fun which is all that matter!

Bat Halloween Card

 Well, October is now here and I'm trying to get a jump on Halloween.  I'm not as fast as I used to be, so I had  some of my helpers bring down my decorations from the attic over the weekend so I could get started.  We have always loved Halloween and since Jennifer's was born on Halloween, it is always so  much fun.  I also started making some cards.  I saw this design on Pinterest and thought is would be cute and easy to make since I knew I had the SU DSP.  Well, after checking my stash I must have used the star paper up.  Fortunately, after telling my crafty friend Denise she found she has the paper and cut it up for me and sent it in the mail!  Thank You Denise!!

I used Basic Black for my base card and More than Mustard for my first layer.  I then used SU's DSP for  my second layer.

For my circle, I used SU's Stitched Shapes Framelit die along with the coordinating bat punch.  I then added some of the star gems to the circle.

For my inside sentiment, I used my trusty old stamp from Michael's.  Denise even sent along the extra DSP scraps, so I used them to add some more decoration to the inside if the card. I purchased some new stencils for Halloween, so that will be the next cards - hopefully!

Mouse card for Jennifer

 Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.  We are enjoying some beautiful weather before the rain comes in this week.  Jennifer is doing great in school so far getting 100% on her first spelling test, so I decided to make this adorable little mouse to tell her how proud we are of her progress so far.

There's nothing more cute than an adorable little mouse enjoying her ice cream cone!  This stamp set/dies I purchased from Gina K.  It's called Ice Cream Social.  She has a new designer who is creating such adorable new stamps sets.  I used SU's Polish Pink CS for my base card and her Master Layout Set #2 for the layer.  I popped everything else up and used my Pink Jelly roll to color in the ice cream.

For my inside sentiment, I used Colorado Craft Co.'s stamp set - Proud of You stamp.  I am trying to use up some my stash and found this cute washi tape to decorate the inside.

Birthday Card for Juan

 We celebrated our Great Grandson's birthday over Labor Day.  He turned 3 years old which is so hard to believe.  It seems like yesterday he was born!  I was thinking about what kind of card to make for him and found this cute card over at Pinterest.  

I added some layers to the number 3 and the balloons to make them stand out! This was a larger card - 5 1/2" x 7 1/4" - so I made an envelope with my  envelope maker.

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love this set and have used it so many times!  I used my SU balloon punch to decorate the inside!

They celebrated his birthday by going to the Crayola Co. Here is a picture of Jennifer and Juan painting.  He loves to paint!

Of course, he loves Spiderman!  He loved his cake and the night light he now has in his room!

He loves blowing out candles and singing Happy Birthday!!  So cute!  We had a great time!

Beehive Box

 Today's post is a little beehive box that I made to go with the Fluffiest Friends card that I made for Jennifer on my last post.  I saw this over at Brenda Quintana's blog - Beehive Box.  I knew Jennifer would like it - which she did!

I used the same stamp set and dies from SU's Fluffiest Friends and some yellow CS I had on hand.  I am trying to use up old CS that has been collecting in my drawer.  

I used an embossing folder for the texture and some jute trim for the bow.  I filled it with some honey drops which she likes.  Brenda filled hers with some honey tea which I thought was a great idea as well.  She always makes such adorable projects! Such a cute idea!
