Halloween Card 5

Here is the last of the Halloween Cards.  This card is 4 x 5.5 inches.

For this card I used both the October 31st and Charmed Cricut Cartridges.  The window is cut from the October 31st Cartridge at 4.75 inches.  I backed the window with orange card stock stamped with a tree.  The ghosts are from the Charmed cartridge, cut at 1.75, 1.5 and 1 inches. 

Halloween Card 3 and 4

For these cards, I used the October 31st Cricut Cartridge.  Both cards are 4 x 5.5.

For the first card, I cut the pumpkin at 2 inches, and matted it using black (2.5 x 2.5) and orange (2 7/16 x 2 3/8)  paper.  I used a white gel pen to outline around the pumpkin.  I added the sentiment also matted with black paper.  I used pop dots to raise the pumpkin panel over the sentiment.

For the second card, I used the same pumpkin, but cut at 3 inches and matted with black (3.5x3.5) and orange (3.25x3.25).  I outlined the pumpkin with a white gel pen. 

Halloween Card 2

This card was made using the October 31st Cricut Cartridge.  The card is 4 x 5.5

The ghosts and tombstones were cut at 3 inches.  The stamp is from Mama Elephant 'Bootastic' set. 

Halloween - Card 1

Here is the first of several cards I made for Halloween.  I used the Close to My Heart Artiste and Charmed Cricut cartridges for this card. 

The bat, cat and tombstone are from the Artiste cartridge, and the ghost is from the Charmed cartridge.  The bat was cut at twice 5.25 inches, once in black and once with a patterned paper.  I used the pattern paper for the inside of the wings.  The cat and tombstone were cut at two inches, and the ghost at 1.5 inches.

This is one of my favorite cards made this year, and was fun putting together.

Pinterest Inspired Birthday Card

I found a similar card to this one on Pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/392165080023198958/). 

I have the Swallowtail Butterfly stamp from Stampin' Up, and decided to do something similar.  For this card, I stamped the swallowtail and sentiment images with VersaMark, and then embossed with a Recollections Sapphire embossing powder.  The card base is 5 x 6.5.  The blue mat was cut a 1/4 inch smaller.  I trimmed the butterfly at a slight angle to 4.5 x 4.25, and the sentiment to 4.5 x 4 3/8. 

Northwood Stamp and Copic (Man Fishing in Canoe with Dock)

I've been creating cards, but none have been for my husband!  So this past weekend, I created this card for him. 

This card is 4.25 x 5.5.  The stamp is from Northwood Rubber Stamps - P9104 (Man Fishing in Canoe with Dock), stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.  I used my Copic markers to color the stamped image.  To make the water shimmery, I added a bit of glitter to the water with a clear atyouSpica glitter pen. The image was then mounted on black card stock.  The background was done with brown card stock, stamped with a Black Penny wood grain stamp, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa.

Christmas Card with WPlus9 and Cheery Lynn Dies

I recently ordered the WPlus9 Quilt dies and had to try them.  I used paper I had at hand (and it was from a recently made Christmas card).  The doily in the background is a Cherry Lynn die, and was
cut in half.
