Feline Spooky

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a clean and simple Halloween card featuring a digital stamp from the LTTS Doodles Etsy Shop!


This sweet little trick or treater is from the Trick or Treat digital stamp set.  Ana has lots of adorable images in her etsy shop so be sure to stop by and check them out!  I printed the little girl in her kitty costume on Neenah cardstock, colored her with copics, and fussy-cut her.  I used a stitched rectangle die to die cut a panel and then inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I matted the panel on black card stock and adhered that to my card base.  The striped paper is from my stash.  I adhered the image with foam tape and then added a few tiny die cut stars.  I heat embossed a sentiment from my stash and adhered that with foam tape as well.

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

Halloween Squishes

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween card using digital products by Streamside Studios

These cute images are from the Halloween Squishes and Little Halloween 1 digital stamps.  I cut a panel of bristol card and inked it with Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks, and splattered it with black acrylic paint and white gouache.  I die cut the black frame and spooky tree from black card stock using a die from my stash and adhered it to the inky background.  I colored the images with copics and then fussy cut them.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then added a few die cut stars to finish off my card.

Streamside Studios has a monthly challenge over on Instagram!  Check out their IG account to find all the details!

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

Sweet Holiday Greetings

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a clean and simple Christmas card featuring some adorable snowmen by Whipper Snapper Designs!


I've had this cute stamp for years and this is the first time I've ever inked it up.  I've really been trying to pull out some of my older never-used stamps and create with them!  I cut a piece of bristol card and inked it with Peacock Feathers, Prize Ribbon, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered it with thinned white gouache and adhered it to my card front.


I colored the snowmen with copics and then applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to their noses and buttons.  I fussy-cut the snowmen and then used a white gel pen to add some highlights.  I adhered the snowmen with foam tape and added some die cut snowflakes.  The sentiment is from a stamp set in my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a fantastic day!

Trick Or Treat

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring a fun digital stamp.

This cute witch and her kitty are by Andrea LaGafotas.  I found this stamp a couple of years ago in her Etsy shop and I finally found some time to color this sweet image!  I just checked her shop and I no longer see this digital stamp listed but you may be able to message her and inquire about it.  I absolutely adore their giant eyeglasses lol.  I die cut a panel of bristol card and used a stencil and distress oxide inks to create the cloudy background.  

I printed the images on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I adhered the images to the card with foam tape for added dimension.  The die cut sentiment is from my stash and I believe it was from Reverse Confetti (which is no longer in business).

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

You're Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring a new digital stamp from the Streamside Studios shop.

This adorable image is Pumpkin Latte.  There are two images included in the set, along with lots of fun sentiments so be sure to stop by and check it out!  I printed the image and sentiment on Neenah card stock and then die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.  I colored the image with copics and then masked it so I could add Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to give the image some shading.


Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day!

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.
