Happy Halloween

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

I love the Witches Shoes stamp set from D2BA and decided to use it for my Halloween card today:

Dare 2B Artzy and My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop

 Hello Stamping Friends!!  

Dare 2B Artzy and My Sweet Petunia have teamed up to have a fun collaborative Blog Hop!!

Designers from both teams are excited to share some fun inspiration with you!!

---

I'd have to honestly say if it weren't for the lovely Misti I most likely wouldn't be into stamping as much as I am.  When I was introduced to stamping 20 years ago we only had wood blocks with stamps on and clear stamps were just starting to be introduced.  I remember being at my first stamping party and just being frustrated!  You'd stamp and the image wouldn't completely stamp. Or it wouldn't be bright enough.  So you'd try again and same thing!  I can remember thinking to myself, who could enjoy doing this!  LOL!  And here I am today addicted!!

I LOVE that with the Misti you can re-ink a stamp as many times as you need to and keep stamping the image till it is perfect!  I also LOVE that you can use it to create some awesome stamped backgrounds!!

So I'm super excited for this team-up!!  I have two projects I created to share with you today!

The first card I created is this super fun shaped card:

I used the new Fruit Loop stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy!!  And for this card I decided to use my Mini Misti!

I thought it would be fun to use the Double Dot Framelit Die set to create my shaped card.  I was going for the cheerio/fruit loop look!

I then stamped the solid circle image from the set randomly, using my Mini Misti to position them just right!!

I went with the fruit loop colors, so I used Pomegranate, Bright Pumpkin, Sunset Yellow, Margarita Lime, Midnight Blue and Wild Orchid inks!

Once I liked how it looked, I decided to use the Mini Misti to line up some of the circles again and stamp with Versamark Ink so I could emboss them with clear embossing powder!

I love how embossing some of them gives a nice shine, almost like you can see the sugar on the fruit loop!!

I added the 'Be a Fruit Loop in a World of Cheerios" sentiment!  I just love the fun sentiments in the Fruit Loop stamp set!
I finished off the card by randomly adding some clear beads!  I thought they gave a nice 'sugar' touch to my large fruit loop card!!

---

Next up I have a slimline card to share also using the Fruit Loop stamp set!
This time I used the cluster of circles to stamp a fun pattern along one edge of my white cardstock layer!

I used my Original Misti to create the background:


The cluster of circles is so much fun!!  You can create some fun backgrounds with it!!

I kept it simple for this card, as I wanted to create a bunch of layers.  I used paper from the lovely All The Buzz Collection!

I also used the new Wavy Slimline Framelit Die set!  I absolutely LOVE all the different layers in this die set!!  I also used the Wavy Slimline Border Dies!!

So fun!!

I love both my Original Misti and Mini Misti!!

Smile

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

I have a pretty card to share today using Lisa Horton Crafts products!

I have another clean and simple card to share using the lovely Mandala Doily Flourish Die as a stencil:
I absolutely LOVE this doily die!  So pretty!!

After inking the die cut on my card layer, I stamped the cursive writing from the Textures A6 Stamp Set to add a little more interest to the background.  I also added a few Gems!!

The banner is part of the Nested Flags Dies!  I slightly inked the edges of the banner and then stamped the 'Smile' sentiment from the Butterfly Flourish Stamp Set!

Choose Happy

Hello Sweet Crafty Friends!

I have a pretty card to share today using Lisa Horton Crafts products!

I really love how this clan and simple card turned out: :
So pretty!!

I started by stamping the Music Sheet A6 Stamp on my white card layer.  I then trimmed the layer into three sections.  I rounded the top right corner of the layer and bottom right  corner of the layer to add a little interest and elegance!  

I then used the beautiful Mandala Doily Flourish Die as a stencil on my three layers.  I did one layer at a time.  Slightly positioning the stencil I created differently on each layer.  I also used different ink colors on each layer.  I liked these three colors together!!  

For my sentiments I stamped three of the encouraging sentiments from the Choose Happy stamp set!  And trimmed each of them right around their black edge and added them to my card.

I wanted to add some gems or pearls, but I couldn't decided exactly how I liked them placed.  I kept taking them off and really just liking the card as is.



Have a lovely day!
