Fox & Owl

Mornin' y'all!  How's your week going?  I am still deeeeep in the throes of fall and Halloween cards, are you getting tired of oranges and browns yet?  'Cause I have another fall card today:

I got out a bunch of retired stamp sets for the Inspired By... Challenge:

I'm a dollar short and a day late for the challenge but I'm posting my card anyway because I had fun making it and I love this inspo pic.  I love all those mugs, they can come live in my house : ) I especially like the owl and the fox, so I pulled out Fox & Friends, then added a leaf from Falling Leaves and a greeting from Give Thanks.  It barely shows up in the picture, but I stamped Flannel Plaid on the Cajun Craze layer in Versamark for just a little more coziness.  I used Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, Copper Clay, and Pecan Pie for my colors and I'd really like to play around with this palette of oranges and browns again.

That's it for me today, peeps.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Fox & Friends, Falling Leaves, Give Thanks, Flannel Plaid

Halloween Apparitions

Midnight greetings, ghoul friends!  I was in a fussy cutting mood when I made tonight's card:

I got Autumn Apparitions off eBay a year or two ago after I saw someone else use it on a blog post, but I don't remember who it was.  As you can see, we've got several fun Halloween images to play with and I had a go at using them all on a single card.

Stay spooky, friends!

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive
Paper:  Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Thick Basic White, Wicked Fun DSP
Accessories:  Dimensionals

WIP Wednesday: Frankie

Mornin' y'all!  No card today because I've been busy with Ryan on fall break and trying to keep him entertained without screens, but I do have a WIP Wednesday to share of my cross stitch:

Cross stitch projects do look pretty creepy when they're missing eyes like this, ha!  And then once you DO have the eyes stitched in, he stares at you nonstop.  He needs his face filled in, and then there's some candy bits on the sides and the buffalo check on the bottom and Frankie will be done.  Well, there's also the thick black border but that's pretty quick and mindless.

That's it for now.  Cheers, peeps!

Supplies:
Stamps:  none
Ink:  none
Paper:  also none, unless you count the chart
Accessories:  fabric & floss : )

Toil & Trouble

Midnight greetings, ghoul friends!  Let's switch it up a bit and have a witch for tonight's card, shall we?

Instead of using Cauldron Bubble with the coordinating Toil & Trouble DSP (which also has lots of images you can die cut that are already colored in, you might remember them from my what's cookin' card), I stamped my little witch and her cauldron, then colored them to match the Halloween Spells DSP for a different look.  Who knew Pool Party could work for Halloween?

Stay spooky, friends!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Cauldron Bubble
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends in Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Pool Party
Paper:  Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Halloween Spells DSP
Accessories:  Cauldron dies, Wink of Stella, Dimensionals

Another Scaredy Cat for SUO Challenges

Mornin' y'all!  It is time once again for a new challenge from SUO Challenges, and this time we are CASE-ing the catty:

My card is a little catty too *snerk*  You know I cannot resist making everything into a Halloween card in the month of October, so here's what I made:

I chose the card on the left and switched out the DSP to the Frightfully Fun pack.  I kept one pumpkin but added an orange scaredy cat and oh hey look, the pumpkin is purple!  I used the iridescent black ribbon and to add some texture to the card base, I embossed the little star background stamp from the Oh My Fright stamp set for a little tone-on-tone thing.  Quite a few pieces to this card but I think I like it.  And I finally stamped one of the cats from Oh My Fright and colored him in!  I tried to give him a bit of stripey pattern and he's popped up on TWO layers of Dimensionals, that's how scared he is.

We hope you'll join us over at SUO Challenges!

Black Cat Binx

Midnight greetings, ghoul friends!  And tonight is extra spooky because it's the 13th night of the Hex-Travaganza!  So how about a lucky black cat:

I do love the Spooky Night DSP, and it did the heavy lifting for this card.  I think I need to go watch Hocus Pocus again.

Stay spooky, y'all!

Hey Pumpkins

Mornin' y'all!  Hope you had a good weekend and you're ready to start a new week.  Ryan is on fall break for the next two weeks so that means I have to keep him entertained and hopefully not staring at screens all day.  Wish me luck.

I have two cards to share today and I'm not 100% sure how much I like them:

I used last week's Freshly Made Sketch:

I thought I could use some of the busier patterns in the Painted Patch DSP, and then I fussy cut some pumpkins and leaves from the same patterns to use on the greeting block so it says hey pumpkin.  I think maybe I should have done the same Calypso Coral + Golden Glow cardstock colors on the darker card instead of using Golden Glow + Pool Party, the pumpkin on that one looks almost radioactive but maybe I'm overthinking it.  Anyway, I'm glad I used some more of that super fun DSP either way and I always need more coordinating cards for my two friends.  It's kind of a game to send them both cards that are similar every week.

Have a great Monday, y'all!
