Halloween Ghosts

Today, I’m sharing a Halloween card crafted from a design of Kristina Werner’s from last year’s Online Card Classes Kickstart class.

Halloween Ghosts

Kristina’s card was rectangular and featured a single ghost. I replaced the single ghost with this trio from Memory Box, cut from glitter paper. I also decided to eliminate the bottom section of Kristina’s design – this card is 4 1/2″ square. I’ve used dimensional adhesive on the ghosts and on the panel with the circle cut out. Unfortunately, my photo doesn’t show the dimension particularly well.

I’ve got several newly released Halloween paper pads in my stash that I’m looking forward to using this month and next. Growing up, Halloween colors were black and orange. Now we’ve got the traditional colors, as well as purple and green. I like having the additional variety for crafting!

Rainy Day: A Poppystamps Project

Today, I’m sharing a Poppystamps project. We’ve had a spectacular summer in the Pacific Northwest, but all good things do come to an end, and rainy days are just around the corner. For this card, I wanted to create a warm, inviting interior that said, “Even if it’s raining, it’s still cheery inside my home.”

Rainy Day: A Poppystamps Project

I know that an open umbrella is considered “bad luck” by some. I just couldn’t resist adding a bright pop of color to the scene.

The chair was stamped on patterned paper and die cut with its matching die. I paper pieced the pillow.

Late Summer: A Poppystamps Project

Today I’m sharing a creation for Poppystamps. I’ve had the idea for this card in my head for quite awhile. There’s a place where we walk Ginger, our golden retriever, that I wanted to capture on a card.

Pinspired Challenge #16

Taking some artistic license, I added the birds for a seasonal touch. We’ve been seeing both crows and red-winged blackbirds in abundance recently, and the bit of licorice cardstock helps anchor the brighter colors. To capture the grasses in the photo, I used Squash and Meadow cardstock cut with the grassland border die.
