Wonderfully Wicked

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Can you believe this is the last day of September already?

Time really does go by so much faster and before we know it it will be Christmas, then the start of the New Year! Well for now, let's not rush it!

I have another set to share that I made for Halloween in my quest to create lots of cards to use up my stash of retired stamps, ink & papers! I am pleased with the outcome because my DSP stash has dwindled big time!

This set uses a retired stamp set called Wonderfully Wicked from 2019. I used the spider & the spider web along with some spider web paper but don't let these critters run you off....these are cuter than the real things! I am not one who is bothered by spiders but I know lots of people are. Snakes are another entire different story though....I am petrified of them!

Card Details:

Stamps: Wonderfully Wicked (retired 2019)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired), Tangelo Twist (retired)

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Happy Haunting DSP (retired 2015)

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

A Halloween Beware

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

A rainy morning here in PA once again. It's definitely feeling like Fall outside. I had a sweater on all week trying to stay warm. Even turned the heat on yesterday morning to take the chill off. It was 48 degrees. Today it's not so cool.

I have another set of Halloween cards to share today. This set uses a mix of new & old which I love to do!

The haunted house is new and it's from the Tricks & Treats bundle that is currently available. The BEWARE is punched from the retired Large Oval Punch and comes from the retired Halloween Bash stamp set. And look at the cardbase....I used a current background stamp on it called Sketched Plaid. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Tricks & Treats, Halloween Bash (retired-2013), Sketched Plaid Background

Ink: Tangelo Twist (retired), Versamark, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Tangelo Twist (retired), Very Vanilla, Happy Haunting DSP (retired 2015)

Accessories: Radiating Stitched Dies, Large Oval Punch (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have another week's worth of Halloween card sets then I will be sharing a few cards that I made recently for Audrey. I am currently working on a few candy treats for her as well so I hope you will continue to visit!

Fall Fest Set

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

The last several days have been quite dreary & wet here in PA. Today is to be another wet one and maybe by Wednesday the sun will shine again! Fingers crossed!

Today I have set # 21 to share with you and this set is Fall Fest from 2014.

If I remember correctly this was my very first photopolymer stamp set and I had one heck of a time getting a good image when I tried stamping with ink. 9 years later I think those images stamped so much better because I used the foam pad under my cardstock. These turned out super cute and not scary at all.  I used paper from the Motley Monsters DSP again. I am down to very small scraps now which might be good for a single card or 2. Not enough for a full set which is a super good feeling to use it up!

Card Details:

Stamps: Fall Fest (retired-2014)

Ink: Crushed Curry, Tangering Tango (retired), Sahara Sand (retired), Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Basic White, Tangerine Tango (retired), Motley Monsters DSP (retired-2014)

Accessories: Fall Fest Framelits, Stitched With Whimsy Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I did not add a sentiment on the front. I will let it blank until they are needed.

Jar of Haunts

 Hello & Happy Monday, Everyone!

I hope you had a nice weekend!

Yesterday was another rain day but that was fine. We took Kelsey out to do some shopping in the morning then back home in time to watch football which our Baltimore Ravens lost. Today is back to the grind....Shawn back to work and i'm headed to my stamp table to finish up my 31 days of Halloween card sets! I cannot believe the amount of DSP that I have used up on all these card sets! It just makes me smile! I may just do the same thing for Thanksgiving & Christmas LOL if I have enough supplies! 

So I have another set of Halloween cards to share with you using a retired set called Jar of Haunts. It's a cute set that uses the retired Everyday Jar Framelits to diecut the jars out. I was able to use them on my Mummy Jar....take a look!

I think this set is just the cutest with that Mummy Jar and different colors that I pulled out of the paper. The Cobwebs 3D EF also plays a big part on this card with those cool spider webs. This set was so fun and I am having the best time pulling out the retired sets and breathing new life into them again! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Jar of Haunts (retired-2016)

Ink: Memento Black, Copic Marker (W3)

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay (retired), Sahara Sand (retired), Basic White, Motley Monsters DSP (retired-2014)

Accessories: Everyday Jar Framelits Dies (retired), Cobwebs 3D EF (retired), Nested Essential Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Enamel Stars (retired), Bermuda Bay Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

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?
