Happy Tuesday!! Hope you are having a great one!! Our challenge this week is to do a 1 layer card. EEKKK!!! This is sooo beyond hard to do! lol. I just HAD to use the Martha Stewart Punch Graveyard, (because it would match my spooky new Inka stamps!) but didn’t know HOW to do it with only 1 layer. My friend Rachel came up with an awesome idea! To punch it on copy paper then sponge it onto the card! It was sorta a pain, but it worked!! (At first I was thinking of punching the bottom of the card, but when you try to do that, unless you do a tricky fold or something it is upsidedown) Anyway, here is what I came up with.

–

–

  I used the NEW Inka set Happy Haunting!  The bats came from the bats that are flying out of the pumpkin! Of course the graveyard at the bottom is from Martha! I finished it off with Black Diamond Stickles!

I have some awesome new to share!! Jacksonbelle Embellishments just received a shipment of Jenni Bowlin papers! These are BEYOND awesome!! I have GOT to get my stamp room cleaned so I can break into it myself!!   Have a great day!!!

  HELLO! I wanted to make a box for my BF’s Mom’s for her birthday. Can I just say…I LOVE IT! Sorry, but this is just one of those times where I just have to say how darned proud of it I am! LOL! It all started out with THIS Provo Craft Box. I painted it black with my Making Memories black paint, then put the Making Memories Clear Glitter Glaze on top. I love how the black paint picked up the green in the glitter. I think it looks really neat!

–

–

I stamped a punch of pumpkins from the Pumpkins Galore set. The large pumpkins I stamped in Really Rust and Pumpkin SU ink. On a few pumpkins I stamped THIS spider on it. The smaller pumpkins I colored with barely banana and mustard markers.  I layered them onto the bottom of the box and added SU gingham ribbon. The super cool bat comes from THIS stamp set, Mindscape Halloween. Once I cut out and attached the bat with pop up glue dots, I added Black Diamond Stickles to it.

–

Around the bottom part of the lid, I added black ruffled ribbon, gingham ribbon and polka dot ribbon.  The polka dot paper on top comes from last years halloween paper from Making Memories. I embossed THIS spider web on it on black 3 times. I added Black Prima Galaxy Stars, Glack Bling and some older Prima Flowers I had. YES that’s a bat brad in the middle of the flowers! (Making Memories as well) I stamped colored and cut out another pumpkin from Pumpkins Galore and attached it with pop up glue dots!The Jolly Roger flag is from SKULLS stamp set! I stamped it on shimmery vellum I had and wired it onto the bling!

To finish it off I added a ton of Plumeria dew drops onto the bottom and lid. Very cool that some look orange and some look green-ish depending on what light they are in. So that’s it! I hope you enjoy!

SUPER exciting news!! The new COSMO CRICKET 6 x 6 pads are now IN STORE!!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are all having a great day so far!! I have to admit it…I could’t make another card with it NOT being a NEW INKADINKADO HALLOWEEEEEEEN STAMP!! Ooooh how I love them! Here is the totally awesome sketch that Lynda put together for us!

–

 AND here is what I did for it using the NEW Spider Web clear stamp from Inkadinkado!

–

–

It came to me when I saw this sketch that I should use the 3 strips as web’s! I just drew them on with my black journaler and white gel pen. I put lil’ eyes on the spiders too. I also used my Black Polka Dot May Arts Ribbon and my totally awesome Drippy Goo Punch from Martha Stewart! When I was all done, I attacked it with my Black Diamond Stickles! I put some on the drippy goo too. I hope you enjoy it! I sure had fun making it!

Make sure to check out the store blog for our featured product this week…. MAY ARTS!! All the designers have offered up darling cards to highlight! AND don’t forget to see their take on the sketch too!!

Hello!! I had to make another quick coon card for another person that’s off camping with us right now.
