Witches' Brew

Today's post is another Merry Cafe card. I just love these coffee cups so much. For this one I created my main coffee cup and then started adding the little extras. The spiderweb stamp was perfect for the corners. The striped image was great for a fill-in-the-gap stamp. And of course I had to cut out some great pumpkins and a witch's hat to add to my card.

Spooky Text Cat

Today's post is my favorite Halloween card of the season! I love this cute text cat on a background of jack-o-lanterns. I actually think that the jack-o-lantern paper is my favorite from the pack. It's too adorable! Beyond my cat, I stated a simple greeting and cute out the circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The stitching gives me the image that extra something! To finish off the card, I added some great black rhinestones and washi tape (retired from last year).

Trio of Witches' Hats

Today's post is a simple and fun Halloween card. I stamped the witches hats in the three Halloween colors from last year's catalog: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Perfect Plum. Using those colors gave me a chance use some of the leftover Halloween Night Enamel Shapes. Cute and simple.

Rat Crossing

Today's post is all about the Cat Punch in the Spooky Cat bundle. This card was super easy peasy! I punched the cat out, fussy cut the witch's hat, added some rhinestones, and stamped on some texture and rats. I finished the card with a strip of DSP and a sentiment. This card was one of the two Halloween themed options I showcased at September's stamp club. (The other card will be featured later this month.)

Cat Duo

Today's post is my last Halloween card of the season. I have completely fallen for the cat punch. I love punching out different patterned cats. I am sure I will be using this punch into the spring. But for this card, I punched a cat from the paper and then one from some great patterned DSP to create this cat duo. I embossed my piece of Very Vanilla leaving a section of un-embossed paper in the middle to layered my DSP strips. Finally I added a punched sentiment. Perfect!

Hoo Hoo Halloween

Today's post is all about the cute owl stamp in the Spooky Cat set. I loved how the owl can be stamped into the tree branch from the designer series paper stack. From there I added his orange accents (ignore his slight orange chest) and black eyes. The cute witch's hat was fussy cut from the paper. This card was one of the two Halloween themed options I showcased at September's stamp club. (The other card will be featured later this month.)

CTS236: Hoo's There?

Today's challenge was two-fold. I wanted to play along with CAS(E) This Sketch's challenge and I wanted to use some of my Holiday Catalog preorder goodies.

I pulled out one of two new stamps from the Holiday Catalog and started figuring out which image to choose. I settled on the Owl Stamp from the Spooky Cat set. After stamped and fussy cutting the owl, I chose a simple sentiment (with a great font). The hardest part of this card was picking patterned paper I wanted to use. The Spooky Night DSP pack has such great patterns. I chose a more subdued pattern for my background and choose the busy words as my focal point. Such a simple card, but so cute!
