Trick Or Treat

Good morning everyone!  I'm sharing tags using Halloween stamps from Paperie Ink.

These sweet trick-or-treaters are from the Boo Crew and Happy Haunting stamp sets.  I used a die to cut the tags from some colorful Doodlebug Design paper and black twine so I could attach them to bags of candy.  I stamped all the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and then fussy-cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the critters' eyes and noses and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the candies.  I attached the images and sentiments with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Haunting

Good morning everyone!  I'm sharing a couple of quick and easy Halloween cards using stamps from Paperie Ink.

These sweet trick-or-treaters are from Paperie Ink.  I sponged distress oxide inks on the front of the cards and then spattered thinned black and white acrylic paints.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock and ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the critters' eyes and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the candies.  I heat-embossed the sentiments and then attached the images and sentiments with foam tape.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous day!

In The Meadow We Can Build A Snowman

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a fun slimline shaker card I created for The Greeting Farm.

These adorable images are from the new Falala stamp set that was released earlier this month.  I love all the sweet snowpeople and thought it would be fun to create a slimline shaker card.

I used some slimline dies to diecut the base of my card and I covered it with snowflake paper that I found in my stash.  I diecut the 3-window stitched rectangle and covered the back with acetate.  I stamped all the images, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I adhered the trees to my card and then added some snowy slopes.  I used foam tape and clear sequins to create my shaker card.  Lastly, I adhered all the cute snowpeople and gifts to the front of my card.

Copics Used:

Snowpeople - BV20, BG70, R00

Trees - G28, G24, G21

Hats/Scarves/Gifts - R59, R37, R35; YG17, YG13, YG01; B29, B26, B24, B21; BG09, BG07, BG05, BG02
