Happy Halloween -Scary Lady

Hello,
Been a while since we have posted here!!  But, I could not resist posting my Halloween cards.  I made them with one of my favorite images from the "Those Were The Days" sheet.  Just love this stamp--it's great for Halloween, belated birthdays, etc...  I made two versions:

There are a few more pics and materials list on my blog, Dreaming and Creating.  Have a scary Halloween!!

Halloween Masquerade

I used the gorgeous masquerade stamp from the Halloween stamp set from The Stampsmith.

The beautiful flowers around the image are flowers from a wedding that I attended this past summer that I dried.  They used them in the bride's bouquet, but these were ones that the little flower girl threw to the ground as she walked up the aisle.  I thought they were absolutely stunning so I pocketed a few!  lol  :)

I used some scraps for the woven background to create the basket weave pattern.  Not traditional Halloween colours, but hey, who says I have to be traditional?

Just a note that there's still a couple of days left to enter the 'With Gratitude' card challenge over at The Stampsmith Challenge.  You have a chance at winning an entire sheet of stamps from The Stampsmith just for entering!   I hope you decide to play along in the fun! 


Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
 

Halloween Moon Dancers

It's almost that time spooky time of year again and that being said I have another Halloween card to share with you.   I used these fun little moon dancers from the Halloween plate by The Stampsmith.  

I'm almost done another Halloween card, using another fun image from the same stamp set.   I'll post it soon, so stay tuned...

Thanks for stoppin by! :)
 

Halloween Kitty

I have a bit of Halloween fun to share with you tonight.  I used the kitty perched on a tree branch from the Halloween plate by The Stampsmith.   I'll have a few more Halloween cards to share with you throughout the month, so stay tuned.   :)

Here's a close up of the spooky kitty image and my spider web made out of hemp twine that I pulled all part to make it look fibrous.  

I also made the spider using my Martha Stewart Double Loops punch.   I punched it out once to make the body and four legs, then, I punched it out two more times and cut off a leg from each side and glued them to the back to create my little spider.   Some tiny green gems for eyes and he was complete.  You can check out my blog for the more info.

A Dog Named Boo

Happy Halloween....WOOF!

   I'm in the Halloween spirit! How about you? This little guy is already for his treats, and I'm sure he can do a lot of tricks!
   This pup and the word, "WOOF!" is from the Puppies sheet at the newly designed, user friendly, Stampsmith Store. They also carry a Halloween sheet of images and words, but you can turn any stamp into anything you want or need!
  Don't forget to visit the Stampsmith Challenge where the October challenge is Halloween. To be eligible for the prize at the end of October, you must include at least one Stampsmith stamp. So get crackin'! You can't win if you don't play!

Halloween Dress-Up Fun

OK, I have a funny take on my Halloween card for our latest challenge over on The Stampsmith Challenge. I'm not big into making scary Halloween cards, but you can always use other stamps for the theme and turn them in a Halloween card, by pretending they're in costume and by adding a funny saying.

In my card, I chose to work with a photstamp of Marilyn, dressed up as a 'Naughty Baker'. Isn't this fun? :) Now, why don't you come and play along with us? Show us your creations, using at least one image from The Stampsmith and upload it to the challenge linky.

*Just an update, we've made a change to The Stampsmith Challenge and it'll be now be only a monthly challenge announced on the first of each month. This way it gives you the entire month to create something and get a pic of it to us. It needs to include at least one stamp from The Stampsmith. There will be one lucky winner drawn at the end of every month for a full sheet of Stampsmith rubber - a $21 value!

If you don't have any Stampsmith stamps of your own, but would like to play along, you can always contact Estelle to order a single or two. Single stamps are only $6 and Estelle has exceptionally fast service and very reasonable shipping rates. That way, you can play along for a chance to win more!
