Today’s card was sent to the other twin for Halloween. I am so glad that I kept the bat punch after it retired. They add the perfect finishing touch to a spooky card. I kept the rest of this card simple with a black and purple color palette. The addition of the silver glitter tape pulls the card together.

Today’s card was sent to one of my twins. I pulled out some DSP scraps and started layering pieces together. Once that was set, I added an embossing folder and some punched shapes. I finished off with a simple sentiment. Love it!

Slowly getting back into card making with a group of Halloween cards. Today’s card was made for Arthur’s Kindergarten teacher. I knew I wanted to feature the fun jack-o-lanterns from the Harvest Hellos stamp set. From there, I added a nice sentiment, some punched bats, and some retired DSP.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring Candy and Treats. I wanted to feature the pretty Silver Glitter Ribbon and the fun Spider Trinkets. I played off of the colors in the witch hat DSP to coordinate my ink and cardstock. Simple, fun card.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite Holiday Catalog Bundle. Usually I gravitate toward the Christmas bundles and stamps sets. While that is true this year, I also found myself coming back to the Spooky Sweets Bundle over and over. I love the simple bat and moon images. And I always love a coordinating punch! I just had to pick up this bundle to play with this season.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Halloween card. When I made this card a few weeks back, I hadn't decided to buy any Halloween stamps. (I eventually bought the Sweet Treats bundle because I just really enjoy the bats) So I looked at the paper I had and realized that fussy cutting the witch and cauldron wouldn't be that hard. And so a card was born! I added some fun background paper, a strip of something else and a die cut sentiment. I love how the polka dots on the witch's outfit mirror the polka dots on the background paper.
Every new catalog, the demo team I am on does a card swap. I love seeing designs from other demos and stamp sets I don't have. Check out this catalog's examples:

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Father's Day card. I'm always up for making a card for mom or grandma, but what to make for my day. Thankfully I remembered the versatile Coffee Cafe Stamp Set. This is perfect for making a simple card to celebrate Father's Day.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create an Easter card. The Flying Home stamp set is the perfect choice to create a festive card. I stamped and colored this great floral and bird house image using my Stampin' Blends. I simply colored the image, no modifications made. From there, I layered the piece onto a die cut piece of Calypso Coral and added a simple sentiment. As I don't have a "Happy Easter" stamp, I used the labeler alphabet to create one. For the background, I embossed a piece of Color Theory DSP. I love the ombre effect in the background. For a finishing touch, I added some yellow Glitter Enamel Shapes.
