Toxic Treats stamp set

 

I am loving creating with the Toxic Treats stamp set from our Holiday Catalog. I saw a challenge layout online and thought I would give it a try with Toxic Treats. In the challenge their was supposed to be another layer where I put the Etruscan Elegance jumbo wheel image. Originally I ran the wheel all the way across the card and added a paperr layer but it just didn't look right. By chance, I had a scrap piece of paper fall onto the card and cover up part of the wheeled image & I liked it!

100_9126Another change was I did 3 paper ribbons using our Howlsthooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper along the left edge.I also sponged all the edges of all the elements as well as the card base with Curmb Cake ink using our Stampin' Sponge. A trick to getting those pointed ribbon ends is to use any of your square punches to punch them! I raised the Tango Tangerine paper ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I guess you could say I didn't really change the challenge layout as they are just blocks and you insert the elements you want.

The materials I used for this card are: Crumb Cake( my favorite), Whisper White & Tangerine Tango cardstocks, StazOn Jet Black & Crumb Cake inks, Stampin' Sponge, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, Antique Brads, Etruscan Elegance jumbo wheel # 127868 & Toxic Treats stamp set # 127898(w) #127901(c).

This witch rock & rolled!

Creating this card was fun, I loved how the rock & roll technique turned out. I stamped the witch image from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set # 127898 (w) # 127901 (c) in Wisteria Wonder Ink first then rock & rolled it in the Basic Black Ink then stamped the image onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I used the Labels Collection Framelits # 125598 to cut the image out. I cut out a few banners and the mat from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper # 126906. The Tangerine Tango mat bhind the witch image was run through the Big Shot using the new Argyle Folder # 127750. The card base is Wisterria Wonder. I got my color combo from the howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, however you will notice that Wisteria WOnder is not listed as a color found in the DSP. I love adding purple to my Halloween paper crafts & cards and felt that the Wisteria Wonder was a good coordinating purple because of it's gray undertones. Many that see this card think the Basic Gray in the DSP is Wisteria Wonder! …But I tell them that if they look closely they will see that it is actually gray. Funny how our eyes can fool us!

This card actually opens from the bottom, with the fold at the top. If you'd like to add some bling to this card you could use our 2-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I think I would go overr the bats in the upper left hand corner, I feel this doesn't need alot of bling but that would be just the right touch if you wanted some. 

I just love all the patterns in the Howlstooth & Scringbone DSP pack, you could change up the look of this card just by using the other sides! I love the dimensional look of the rock & roll technique on this card.

Festive & Fun

As promised, I am sharing another card from our Festive & Fun stamp set available Sept. 1. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. My husband doesn't know why I bother because our children are all grown up and we are still waiting for the grandchildren to start arriving. I love fall and I love Halloween, what else is there to say? ..and I believe we all have a little kid inside us.

One of my favorite things to do each year, is to add to the viniette I have above my kitchen sink. My window is boxed out so I have this wonderful shelf that I decorate for each holiday. For Halloween I have this feather tree that I have added different things to hang each year. I am thinking of making a garland  using the Halloween image from the Festive & Fun set. Doesn't that sound like fun?? I will take a picture and share it with you when I have completed it and put it up. In the meantime, here is a card I made.

It is a little different fold, kind of like the matchbox fold. The Elegant Envy right edge is where it opens. Here is what I used:

Stamps: Festive Fun

Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Basic Gray, Tangerine Tango, Daffodile Delight, Old Olive

Paper: Elegant Envy, Basic Black, Whisper White cs, Brights Collection (#117155) DSP Paper Pack

Misc: Basic Black Glimmer Brads( basic Collection # 121003), Pepr piercing tool & mats, Simply Scored scoring tool, aqua painter

This card reminds me of when I was in 4th grade and we made tissue flowers. I made tons of purple and orange ones~ my favorite color combination back then! Still is for Halloween!
