A Spooky Card - SID

 Today I will share with you my take on this month's card sketch from the Stick It Down blog.  I don't typically do Halloween cards but for some reason this sketch made me think of Halloween. 

   As you can tell, I followed the sketch 

Supplies: pattern paper (Authentique) cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps washi tape (The Paper Studio), sticker (Authentique), and die cuts (7 Gypsies)

   The moon image and "October 31st" was a journaling card that I cut the bottom off (October 31st), matted it, and moved it to the top of the moon. 

   I also, couldn't resist adding a little sparkle to the card so I went with purple sequins and stars.

You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our sketch challenges. Just post a link to your creation in our sidebar. If you share on social media, be sure to tag #StickItDown.

  One randomly selected winner will receive a prize! We'll also choose one winner from each sketch to be a guest designer!

Birthday Wishes

    At the moment I am in love with the slimline card trend. I don't know why but this is my third card this week that I created in that style. The card I am sharing with you tonight is based on the Sketch~N~Scrap WCMD #2 sketch. 

   Here is my take on the card. Sorry for the bad photos lighting in my studio is bad and I didn't want to go downstairs and set up the photo board. 

Supplies: cardstock (Paper Studio and Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (Heidi Swapp and Simple Stories), brad (Terresa Collins), ribbon (?), stickers (Heidi Swapp), manual dies (Crafter's Companion), and electronic die cutter (Silhouette America) 

The sentiment was die cut from wood paper. I love how it looks on the rose gold mirror paper by Cardstock Warehouse. 

   I love this bias ribbon that I had in my stash. It goes so well with the two collections that I used on this card. 

 

   The cut file that I used is free from Scrapbook & Cards Today. 

One Stamp Three Ways

   Here are three cards that I created for the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog challenge "1 Stamps 3 ways". The stamp I used was the pinecone background stamp by Simon Says Stamp. 

I ended up creating a Christmas card, thank you card, and a birthday card all using the stamp as my base image. 

   For this Christmas card, I kept it really simple. I heat embossed the background stamp image in a nice cranberry embossing powder. To finish the card I matted a journaling card and adhere it to the card. 

Supplies: cardstock (Paper Studio and Cardstock Warehouse), journaling card (Graphic 45), embossing powder (?)

Up next, is the thank you card. I first stamped the image on kraft cardstock and mounted that to the card front. I then stamped and heat embossed the image again and glued it in place. To finish it off I added a journaling spot, which I had also stamped with the sentiment and a die-cut. 

Supplies: cardstock (My Mind's Eye), stamps (Simon Says Stamp and Studio Calico), die cuts (Pretty Little Studio and My Mind's Eye)

   Now on to the last card, which is a birthday card. I know it seems odd to use that type of stamp on a birthday card but with different colors used it totally works. 

 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse, My Mind's Eye and Paper Studio) stamp (Simon Says Stamp and Paper Studio), die-cut (Crafter's Companion), ephemera (My mind's Eye), and sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), inks (Altenew)

Birthday Party Card

   This past Saturday was World Card Making Day, I spent part of the day creating cards. This card I am about to share with you is called a U-fold card. I have never created one before. It was fun to do. You can find the instructions on a blog called Beccy's Place. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock warehouse), pattern paper (Simple Stories), border punch (Fiskars), die cuts (Frantic Stamper), ephemera (Bella Blvd.), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps)  

 I love the confetti curtain. I am going to be posting more of the cards that I created from Sat.
