You're Frightfully Fun

 One more Halloween card - this one is for the following challenges:

The Greeting Farm FB - Halloween

A Place to Start - Anything Goes/Optional Spotlight

Tic Tac Toe #304 - I used stitching, heat embossing, and orange

Time Out #324



I wanted to do the spotlight technique on this one so I kept it very clean and simple! I stamped Wicked Anya from The Greeting Farm with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder on kraft cardstock twice. I then colored the Jack-o-Lantern and fussy cut, attaching with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment under her, die cut with a stitched deckled edge nesting die from Mama Elephant and sponged the edges with black ink. I matted it on an orange card base. Peace.

The Magic of Christmas

Hi friends - here to share one more card using one of the stencils from the October release (don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off!) at:

This one is called Love Forest:

I used Lindy's Magicals from the Christmas Cheer set on watercolor paper - first through the stencil sparingly and again on a scrap piece that I then stamped the sentiment on. I die cut the sentiment using the Deckled Frames Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant and attached it with a small red brad from my stash. I matted the panel on a kraft cardstock base.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

The Outlawz - Christmas Only Challenge

Christmas Cards All Year Round - T and U (I used T for Tree)

The 12 Months of Christmas Link-Up - Anything Christmas Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls #846 - Stencil Week

Thanks for stopping by! Peace.

Thank You Pumpkin!

 Hello friends - I finally forced myself to take a break this weekend and it was really good for my mental health. I tend to run myself ragged and the older I get, the more I realize I can't do this anymore without paying the price later. And now I've got all these delicious grandchildren to make sure I'm around for so I'm really trying!  LOL  Art is truly my therapy. I'd like to enter my card below into the following challenges today:

Paper Funday #92 - AG/Optional Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Make My Monday #289 - Use the Colour Orange

Passion for Markers #860 - Autumn Colors

Shopping Our Stash #585 - If the Shoe Fits (include shoes/a shoe)

Cupcake Inspiration #624

I used the Smiling Pumpkins background paper from Mo's Digital Images. I then used a rounded edge rectangle die set to cut out the green cardstock that I stenciled with gold embossing powder and the main panel. Digi stamp is Little Pumpkin from All Dressed Up Stamps, printed out on Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up! and colored with Copics. Sentiment is a very old sticker from my stash from SRM Stickers. Peace.

Witch Please!

 Good morning! I was so excited when Stephen King announced he was wrapping up the Jack Sawyer trilogy with the final book release, I accidentally bought a paperback version. In Spanish. ROFL  It arrived yesterday and I almost cried when I realized I couldn't start reading it!  LOL So off to Walmart I go to exchange it for a hard cover version - in English. :)

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges today:

Crafty Calendar - Autumn/Halloween

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Halloween/Spooky

Creative Inspiration #43 - Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesday - Halloween

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Halloween/Spooky


I created my background by ink blending Black Soot & Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper. I then flicked some Black Soot Spray Stain and a silver Mica Spray on it and let it dry. I printed out the image from Krista Smith, colored with Copics, and used a filmstrip frame die from AALL & Create to cut out, die cutting another one in black to layer her on. I added some little green pearl stickers from my stash and stamped the sentiment from MFT with Versafine Black, then embossed with clear embossing powder. Peace.

LOL  This one happens to be a haunted house! See that cute little skelly peeking out? He's from the Creepy Peekies set at Unity Stamp Co. Papers are from Authentique. Sentiment is from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.
