I added some bling and a little ribbon tag. Peace.

I used an older digi from Birdie Brown (no longer in business but she drew stamps for MFT so if it looks familiar to you, that's why!), colored with Copics. I used papers from Authentique along with a spiderweb frame die and some gravestone dies (Lawn Fawn). 

......................

Let's switch holidays up for a second - LOL - I wanted to share one of the cards I made with one of the stencils from the October release at:

This one is called Mid Century Christmas Tree:

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

Kraft Chicks #842 - CAS

Outlawz Christmas Only Challenge

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

Don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off any stencils in the shop! I used Distress Oxide Inks with clear sparkling embossing powder through the stencil for this card. Sponged the edges of the Kraft paper and roughed them up with my scissors a bit. Added a little Christmas ephemera kraft piece from my stash. Peace.

Punkin' Doodles and Gnomies

 More Halloween cards! This one is for the following challenges:

Paper Funday #92 - Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Stencil Fun - Anything Goes with Stencils/Optional ORANGE

We Love Stamping - Shades of Autumn

Let's Craft & Create #236 - AG/Optional Colors of Fall

I created my background by ink blending Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink through my Spooky Swirls stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I spritzed it with water and let ink seep into the empty spaces. I stamped Tiny Townie Piper at the Pumpkin Patch from Stamping Bella with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and used a nesting die set to cut out. Added some large rhinestone stickers to finish it off.

One more card to share today - this one is for the following challenges:

Outlawz Twisted Thursday - Color Challenge

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

I used a cloud scene paper from Unity for the background. I die cut the tree stump, mushrooms, and grass and layered them on the paper. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background and the gnome (CC Designs) on a scrap piece, colored with Copics & fussy cut. I attached him with foam tape and added a snarky sentiment from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.

Owlakazam!

My papers and sticker embellies are from Prima Marketing, the Luna line. I stamped the witch owl from the Whimsy Stamps Owl-O-Ween STAMPtember Exclusive Stamps (Simon Says Stamp) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, once on plain white cardstock and again on coordinating DP. I paper pieced the hat and colored the rest with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. I added some Stickles to his wand and Liquid Diamonds to his glasses. Peace.

I am Beautiful - Boys Will Love Me

 Hello friends! Heading up to Wachusett Mountain today for Applefest with the family! Always a good time even though it's definitely chilly today! I think the high up the mountain is supposed to be like 55, but I'll be keeping toasty with warm apple cider donuts and hot cider.  Yum!!! I'm sure it'll help running around after the kids all day too!  LOL

I love the way this card came out below, the colors are some of my favorites to use for Halloween cards. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - W is for Witches

Lil Red Wagon - Use a Frame

Crafty Calendar - Halloween

A Cut Above October - AG with a Die Cut

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #221 - Come On Get Spooky

I ink blended the background with Distress Oxide Inks. I then distressed another piece using just Black Soot and die cut the frame from that (Mama Elephant) and attached that with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background, stamped out Elphaba (both from CC Designs) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with Copics, and fussy cut. I attached her with foam tape and added some Stickles to her boots - I've learned to do it this way because I have zero patience and EVERY time I try to add the Stickles first, I forget it's there and ruin it. LOL  I added a die cut spiderweb with spider and some rhinestone stickers. Peace.

Trick or Treat - Sweet November

 So much Halloween fun this month - can you hear me squealing with glee?!?  OK I'll stop. ;) I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges today:

Sweet November Facebook October - Halloween

Shopping Our Stash #584 - Black Cats

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Critter Crazy - Anything with a Critter Goes

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

My papers are from Doodlebug Design (from my stash - I just sorted all of my holiday DP and was slightly embarrassed by how many 6x6 paper pads I bought TWO OF... so I'm really trying to use them before I, you know, buy more...) - I realized that I very rarely use the papers with "busy" patterns on them, so I forced myself to this time! I wasn't disappointed. I used a banner die in the corner and fussy cut the sentiment from one of the papers. I used A Halloween Stroll from Sweet November Stamps, colored with Copics and die cut with a rounded edge nesting die. Peace.
