More cards to share...

 
Here's a really fun Collage-y card you can create with just ONE stamp set.. French Foliage found in the Holiday Mini!! I wasn't going to get this set till I had the opportunity to ink it up and well, let's just say it will be here on Tuesday when my order arrives! I just cannot tell you how easy this card is to create AND you can change the season just by changing the colors of ink you choose to use! The base color is More Mustard, the next layer is whisper white sponged with Early Espresso and the I cannot remember what set the sentiment came out of... the ribbon is the NEW Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding found in the Holiday Mini and the ink colors used are Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Early Espresso!~



This next project was done using the Sizzix Matchbox Die and some Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Wicked cool was the stamp set we used stamping the sentiment and the witches boots.. we then used Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie markers for the stripes on her socks.. the sentiment was stamped and punched out with the circle punch and layered over the large oval punch with dimensionals, we then added a black brad to on either side of the oval.. that was then layered onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie punched with the oval scallop punch.. the matchbox was run through the Big Shot with Rich Razzleberry and stamped with the bat stamp and then folded up! Punch your bat with the large bat punch and pop him and your witches boots with dimensionals and your done!


This Christmas card was a little different and I wasn't sure I was going to like it mostly because I'm not used to making a card for Christmas with much other than  reds/greens or pinks/blues but I have been seeing allot of them out there in bloggerland and it's growing on me!  The snowflake is from the new Sizzix Big Shot Die called Northern Frost and I LOVE it! there are 8... count them EIGHT different snowflakes on this die which measures 2 3/8" x 12 5/8" .. allota bang for your buck at only $21.95!! Then sentiment was stamped and then punched with the new Decorative Label punch and then layered onto a piece cut from the Lots of Tags Sizzlit 4 pack!  Add one of the NEW Glimmer Brads to the center of the snowflake and tie it off with a piece of Silver Tinsel Trim which is also a NEW product in the Holiday Mini!!

This last card was really fun to make! Using a piece of Glossy cardstock you create a rainbow effect using different inks.. starting at the bottom of the piece and blending as you go with a sponge for each color! You then stamp your image on the front and then place it in the Spider Web embossing folder and run it through your Big Shot! (gosh if you don't have a big shot you should really look into getting one.. I use mine all the time!) After you emboss your piece you want to layer it over a piece of Black cardstock and then a piece of Old Olive (which is the card base).. you will then finish it off  by stamping your sentiment onto another piece of glossy cardstock and sponging your favorite spooky color over it and punching it out with the extra large oval punch and viola' your done!

Thanks for stopping by ... I hope you've enjoyed viewing these cards and that you are going to try creating them for yourself!
I'll be back soon with more to share!~Sherry
