A Halloween Card

 

Today I am showing you a halloween card. In my country halloween is getting more and more celebrated so I can make these kind of cards also now. 

I took a white base card. I added a black panel on top of it. I used a piece of digital purple plaid designer papers from Nitwit Collections. This paper is from the Trick or Treat collection. I inked the edges of the paper with Distress Oxide Ink in the colors Shaded Lilac and Villainous Potion. I added die cuts from the Halloween Wonder set of Spellbinders. I added some black pearls and a homemade sentiment that I die cut with a label die. 

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
Color Hues #120 - Purple & Orange
Die Traumfabrik #144 - Halloween
Make My Monday #263 - Halloween Your Color Choice
Daisy Chain #101 - Autumn Or Halloween
Creative Knockouts #557 - Halloween or Fall

A CAS Christmas Card



Today I am showing you a card that I made from a cute graphic that I had as a leftover and I just didn't wanna throw it away. 

The oh so cute santa bear holding a gingerbread cookie is from Creative Fabrica. I die cut the graphic using a circle nesting die. I cut a white rectangle panel and took a bigger circle out of it on the upper part to make the window for the circled graphic. I also embossed a strip using my embossing pen. I then popped the panel onto some foam and also the circle with the graphic. I added it onto a white rectangle base card. I die cut a sentiment with my label die to finish the card. I kept it simple because I want the cute santa bear to be the focal point of this card.

I will be adding this to the 52 Weeks To Christmas this week

An Autumn Card

 

Today I am showing you an autumn or fall card with mushrooms.

I die cut a background panel from Pretty Pink Posh. I added some Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink in the middle of the panel. On top of that I added die cuts from the Papertrey Ink Into The Blooms: Mushrooms die set. I use cream and brown cardstock and inked the edges. I also added some ink to the leaves and leaf branches. I used 2 different green tones of cardstock for the greenery. I added a few clear pearls here and there and added a homemade sentiment to finish the card with.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
Kaartjes Inspiratie #211 - Mushrooms
Hobby Vision #150 - Mushrooms

Christmas Sketch Card

 

Today I am showing a card I made using the sketch at the Cheerful Sketches challenge. I still had some images left and decided to use this cute bear holding a mini christmas tree.

I used designer papers for the sketch of Nitwit Collections. I actually used scraps I still had because I hate to throw away leftover pieces. I found some that matched together well along with that cute image of Creative Fabric. I only added a sentiment on top and that is it. Not a lot to say about this one.

I will be adding this to the following challenge:
Cheerful Sketches #149 - Follow the sketch

A Cake Pop Halloween Card

 

Today I am showing you a halloween card made with cute cake pops.

I die cut the cake pop dies from Pretty Pink Posh in halloween colors. I added foam tape behind the cake pops. I die cut the sentiment strip from A Pocket Full of Happiness. I added the cake pops and the sentiment onto a piece of vellum. I then added some foam tape behind the vellum underneath the die cuts to adhere the panel to a piece of desinger papers. The paper is a digital paper from the Gnome Halloween collection of Nitwit Collections. I added some glitter enamel dots from Carlijn Design. I adhere everything onto a purple cardstock panel and then onto a white base card. Totally halloween but not creepy. This would be nice to give to a little kid I think.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
