House of Haunts

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Are you feeling alittle rain logged?

It rained here most of the day yesterday and more rain coming today. It was a very low keyed day as I stamped a bit and then we watched the last 2 episodes of Ahsoka which is part of the Stars Wars movies. I ended the day with a bad headache which is never fun.

Today I have a set of Halloween cards to share with you using a retired set called House of Haunts. There are no dies or punches with this set but there was a coordinating jumbo wheel called Haunting. Both of these were out in 2008. I unmounted the jumbo wheel and added cushion to it to use like a stamp. I have done this with lots of my wheels so I can get use from them.

Card Details:

Stamps: House of Haunts (retired-2008) Haunting Jumbo Wheel (retired-2008)

Ink: Tangerine Tango (retired), Versamark, Clear Embossing Powder

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Tangerine Tango, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (retired-2012)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Tangerine Tango Enamel Dots (retired), Heat Gun, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Tangerine Tango panel was stamped with my Haunting Jumbo Wheel with Versamark for a watermark look. The haunted house was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I like the look that Versamark leaves behind.

What do you think?

Sweet Home Halloween Set

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Yesterday I worked on a card order from Audrey and I heard someone come in my front door upstairs. Kelsey & Shady came to visit on her day off! That was a nice surprise! I only have 3 cards to finish up her order which I hope to get done today so I can get them delivered to her as long as she is up to it! I think she said yesterday was her IV infusion. Kelsey & Shady stayed for supper then we took them home before dark. Have you noticed it getting darker earlier? 

Today I do have another set of Halloween cards to share with you using a retired set called Sweet Home. This bundle is awesome and one that I have not used much over the years.

Spooky Cat

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

We've had a beautiful string of nice days the last few days!

My kind of weather where I don't have to run the AC or the heat!

We are under a burn ban as well as conserving water atleast for the next 10 days. Rain is expected this weekend and a few days next week so hopefully that will help.

Today I have another set of Halloween cards! This is set # 16!

You may recognize the items on this card as it is a more recent stamp set than some of my previous card sets. Spooky Cat was out in 2017 and it's a set that I did not use much.

Card Details:

Stamps: Spooky Cat (retired-2017)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie 

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Spooky Night DSP (retired-2017)

Accessories: Cat Punch (retired), Square Layering Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits (retired-2017), Halloween Night Twine (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The cat is punched from the Spooky Night DSP using the retired Cat Punch and the happy jack o' lantern is diecut from the same paper using the retired Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits. 

I was able to use up quite a bit of the DSP on these cards but I still have a few sheets left.

Haunted House & Bats

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was a busy day! 

Shawn had his appointment with the Orthopedic doctor. Turns out he may possibly have an MCL tear. He is waiting to get an MRI scheduled because that won't show on a regular x-ray. For now the doctor gave him a knee brace to help keep his knee in line and he is to rest it and take Advil but because of his Diverticulitis he can not take Advil and Tylenol certainly isn't going to touch his pain. Depending on the level of tear he may need surgery. I will keep you posted. 

After his appointment I had an appointment for a haircut then we picked Kelsey up and ran to Lancaster to do some shopping. I wanted something Halloween for on my hutch in the kitchen and found the cutest little vampire trick or treater! 

So, today I have a set of Halloween cards and if your keeping track this is set #14. I found in my stash a haunted house and the stamp is from Stamp Oasis that I have had for quite some time. It's never seen ink so it was way past time to use it! I put the stamp in my Stamparatus and got to work. I paired it with some paper from the Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby!

This set is more on the spooky side but still rather cute.

My sentiment is an old Michael's $1 stamp from years ago.

Card Details:

Stamps: Haunted House w/Bats Stamp Oasis, Michael's $1 Stamps

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired), Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Basic White, The Paper Studio

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Corner Rounder Punch (retired), Sparkle Gems, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Today will be another busy day as I have some cleaning to do.

I know I won't get it all done today but tomorrow is another day! Sometimes I sure wish I had a cleaning fairy! LOL

How are you doing with making your Halloween cards?

My thoughts today...

I love this cute Halloween saying! I have a stamp with this on it plus I just bought a picture with this on for my living room!  

Thanks for stopping by & make it a wonderful day!

Halloween Treat

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you had a lovely weekend! Saturday sure was nice and felt Fall like and yesterday was rainy but we really needed the rain so no complaints from me. It was a lazy day around the Aungst Pad yesterday as we watched football then popped over to let Mr. Shady out to go potty since Kelsey was working a double all day. And wouldn't you know it, we got to her apartment and took him out and it poured buckets! LOL We were all soaked to the bone.

Today Shawn is off for a doctor appointment for his back & knee. Not sure what is going to come from it but I know he has been really bothered with the knee and putting an ice pack on it every chance he gets. He's had a cortisone shot in it back last month which wore off pretty quick. Then this afternoon I am headed for a haircut....one that is very much needed!

So, today I have a quick set of Halloween cards to share! This set uses the retired Halloween Treat stamp that was sold as a single stamp back in 2016. I paired it with some scraps of Pebbles paper...

Isn't that pumpkin paper just the cutest? I believe I got it from AC Moore when they were still in business. How I miss that craft store! It closed in 2020. This is the last little bit of this paper I had in my stash and I was happy to use it up. The stamp also had a little tag border around it. I cut mine off years ago to it made it easier to use. I also pulled out some retired cardstock in Tangelo Twist. I don't remember if Tangelo Twist was an In Color or not. I will have to look into that!

Card Details:

Stamps: Halloween Treat (retired-2016)

Ink: Tangelo Twist (retired)

Cardstock: Tangelo Twist (retired), Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Pebbles Paper-Thirty One Line- Pumpkin Patch

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Square Layering Framelits (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is set # 13 in my quest to create Halloween cards to help use up my stash of stamps, ink & papers! I have already used up quite a bit of paper and will continue to do so for a few more weeks!

Witch Candy 3 Panel Cards

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's going to be a beautiful day here today! I have a couple of quick errands to run this morning then i'm going to pull some of my Halloween decorations out and get started. This year I don't think I have it in me to put everything out so for now it's just going to be a few things. Last evening I packed away a couple summer items to get ready for Fall & Halloween. Shawn said "are you kicking summer to the curb"? Heck yes I am! I've been loving the weather the last few days since it's been cool so YES, I am kicking summer to the curb!

Today I have another set of cute Halloween cards to share with you. This is set #11 in my quest to use up my stamps, inks, embellishments & papers! I can see that i've already made quite the difference in my magazine holder that houses all my Halloween papers!

This set is a pack of 6 and I used the Patty Bennett 3 Panel Card design on these...

Lots of pictures for this post but I wanted to show the different looks of the 3 Panel Cards once they were put together and the inside. That inside sentiment is from DRS Designs.

Card Details:

Stamps: Bewitching (retired-2022), Frightfully Cute (retired-2021), DRS Designs  (Sentiment-inside)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Black Glimmer Paper (retired), Monster Bash DSP (retired-2019)

Accessories: Witch Hat Builder Punch (retired-2022), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Stamparatus (retired), Black Classic Matte Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Another pack that turned out pretty cute and it feels great to use up retired supplies, too!
