Halloween cards 2013

This blog has moved to a new & improved location!  Please visit this page at the new location by clicking here.



I made two of these.  One for one of my sisters & one for my sister-in-law.

The "outer" paper is from Spooksville by The Paper Studio.

The "inner" paper is digital - from Harvest Moon Halloween Mega Kit (Jessica Sprague).  But I "lightened" it by only printing it at 38%.  The bat on the inside is also from the Harvest Moon Halloween kit.  

The font is Dracula.

The ghost on the front is from Cricut's A Frightful Affair cartridge.  I cut it from white cardstock, sprayed it with Perfect Pearls & then drew in the eyes & mouth.  Spraying with Perfect Pearls caused the ghost to curl a bit, so  I took advantage of this & applied it with pop dots.  This not only gave dimension from the pop dots, but the curled ghost looked pretty neat, too!  Finished off with some washi tape & a small bow.

A few cards

This blog has moved to a new & improved location!  Please visit this page at the new location by clicking here.



Since I'm so behind on posting, I'm combining a few in this post.

First up is a birthday card for my niece.  I wanted something bright & cheerful.  Although cutting text for quarterfold cards (since they are so small) is usually a fruitless endeavor IMO, this phrase came out quite nice. The card paper is from DCWV (Diecuts With A View) Pockets Full of Posies pack.  The neon green is a leftover scrap.  The flower was cut with the Tim Holtz Sizzix die, Tattered Florals with an orange brad for the center.  The butterfly was a print & cut from Samantha Walker. 





This note card utilizes digital paper from Lettering Delights Muted Designs Paper Pack with another PNC butterfly from Samantha Walker.




A thank you card using digital papers (cherries & polka dots) & alphabet from Lettering Delights Bowl Full of Cherries.  The bottom of the front was cut with decorative edge scissors & then the pink striped strip that is exposed was a paper scrap.  The front was also embossed with Juli's Garden (Cuttlebug). 



Money/check envelopes

I wanted to discreetly give a check to a friend.  But I also wanted it to be pretty!  So I enclosed the check in this cute money envelope made with the Silhouette Cameo.  

The digital paper was from LetteringDelights Circle Paper Pack.  The flower was made using a cut from Silhouette Online store & the leaves were from the Cuttlebug Daisy quilling kit die cut.



Here's the Silhouette cut for the flower:




This is another money envelope I'd made to give a tip to the dog groomer.   The digital paper is from Etsy.
