Happy Halloween

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring one of the new digital stamps by Streamside Studios.  

These cute bats and sentiment are from the Halloween Squishes digital stamp set.  There are lots of fun images and sentiments in this set so be sure to stop by the shop and check it out!  I diecut a stitched rectangle from bristol card and used a cloud stencil to ink clouds with Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with both white gouache and black acrylic paint.  I printed one of the sentiments from the stamp set on the inked panel and then adhered some tiny black stars that I diecut from black card stock.  I printed the bats on Neenah card stock, colored them with colored pencils, and fussy-cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the bats and adhered them to my card with foam tape. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing day!

Hugs, Anita

Christmas Wishes

Good morning crafty friends!  I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring stamps by Streamside Studios!


This sweet snow couple is from the Snow Much Happiness clear stamp set.  The sentiment is from the Merry Christmouse clear stamp set.  I cut a piece of bristol card 4.25" x 5.5" and heat embossed white snowflakes on the panel.  I added distress oxide inks to the panel and then splattered it with Liquid Stardust to add some shimmer.  I adhered a snowy slope to the card.  I diecut a stitched frame from white card stock and adhered it to the card with foam tape.


I colored the snow couple with copics and added stripes and polkadots with a white gel pen.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the berries and buttons.  I  fussy-cut the snowmen and adhered them to my card with foam tape.  

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

Hugs, Anita
