SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!! The weekend is near. (YAY) Today I want to show you 2 of the pumpkins from the PRICKLEY PEAR ACRYLIC STAMPS - PUMPKIN SET and then I cut them out with the MATCHING DIE. Susana has the ornament, owl, cardinal and many other sets. Check them out!!

I love making easel cards, but for some reason don't seem to make many. These were really easy and simple. They are 4 1/2" square. Then I just used black and orange glitter paper and finished off with a sentiment and embellishments. Of course the image was colored with COPICS and highlighted with STICKLES.

Just a closeup of the sentiment and embellishments. This card is really really glitzy.

I promised you two easel cards and here is the second one. Again, I used the PRICKLEY PEAR ACRYLIC STAMPS - PUMPKIN SET. The ribbon is from my stash and I used my BOW EASY to make the pretty little bow.

The sentiment is from my stash. The black glitter die cut is from the SPELLBINDERS SHAPEABILITIES - TWISTED METAL TAGS AND ACCENTS with some KAISERCRAFT RHINESTONES added to finish it off.

Thank you for coming by and ya'll come back!!

HUGS,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND WELCOME

Happy Sunday!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today I am showing you the FESTIVE WELCOME PEEKER from the ELISABETH BELL HOLIDAY PEEKERS COLLECTION which are available for Domestic customers at SCACD and International and European customers at QUIXOTIC PAPERIE. I just cannot say enough how much I love these images.

Of course, she is colored with COPICS and highlighted with STICKLES. I also used a little stickles on the flowers.

Copics used: BOW: BVOOO,OO,O2, 11 , COAT/HAT: RV24,46, WREATH: G07,30,24, BIRDHOUSES: E70,71,74,77, SKIN: EOOOO,OOO,OO,O2, R81, HAIR: E50, 31,33,37, GROUND: W1, C1, BVOOOO, BV000.

The purple border and snowflakes were made using the MEMORY BOX FROSTYVILLE BORDER. I cut it up to make the border I wanted and used the little snowflakes to accent the image. I thought I need more glitz so I also applied STICKLES to the border and snowflakes. The edging of her coat and boots was made by mixing chunky glitter with flock.

Just wanted to show you the inside so you could see the MEMORY BOX FROSTYVILLE DIE before I cut it up. The beautiful DP is left over from my stash from last year, but I still love the colors.

Update on my little furbaby. The surgery went well, but she is still not able to stand and has to be on pain meds around the clock for 7 days. This is the fourth day, but she is still in a lot of pain. She has to be constantly watched so she doesn't try to stand on her own or needs to go potty. It will be a long long recovery because of her age.

Thank all of you for your prayers.

SUSANA has some new paper from AUTHENTIQUE THE FREEBIRD SERIES.

She also have KRAFTIN' KIMMIES ( in the KKimmie area) and Halloween Paper both on sale while supplies last.

Thank you for coming by to visit me. Wednesday I will be showing you the super cute little PRICKLEY PEAR PUMPKINS ACRYLIC STAMPS AND DIE, so please ya'll come back!

REMINDER: My drawing for the candy is tomorrow at noon ct.

HUGS,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Good Morning Friends! Here is my first Halloween card. I should have two more to post next week. This scary image is a KRAFTIN KIMMIE - MOANING MOIRA and luck have it , SUSANA has her on sale.

I need to apologize this post will be a little short because my little 10 1/2 year old dog is having surgery on both her hind knee caps today and it is a little difficult for me to write.

MOANING MOIRA was really fun to color. I sponged the background and gave her bloodshot eyes. Who knows what she has been up to? (lol) I suppose trick or treating with all her friends. She is colored with COPICS and highlighed with STICKLES. After finishing her I framed her with black glitter paper.

This is not a real good pic, but I was trying to capture all the embossing and glitter of the DP. It is so detailed I only had to add a couple of pop up bats to finish off the card. The DP is BEST CREATIONS - HAPPY HAUNTING.

Be sure and visit the store BLOG for some great inspiration. Also, stop by the store and see all the stuff SUSANA has on sale.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
The Corrosive Challenge - Purple Passion
Crafty Cardmakers - Anything Goes
Stamp with Fun - Halloween
The Pink Elephant - Trick or Treat
ABC Challenge - Anything Goes
Secret Crafter Saturday - Halloween

Thank you for coming by. Come back Sunday and I will have a Christmas Card for you to view. I used a really cool die on it.

HUGS,

HOLIDAY PEEKERS

HAPPY FRIDAY! I am so excited - today is the release of ELISABETH BELL HOLIDAY PEEKERS FOR SCACD. I am so in love with these stamps. My first image is the PUMPKIN PATCH PEEKER. Did you catch the word first? (hee hee)

I stamped it with Memento Ink and colored with Copics. The ribbon is from my stash and the bow is made with my Bow Easy. The little pumpkin on the bow is highlighted with Stickles. The beautiful DP is BO BUNNY - FOREVER FALL. I love the puples and gold. To finish it off I punches and stamped two corner pieces and added some KAISERCRAFT RHINESTONES.

Now to my second image. She is WHERE ON THE TREE - PEEKER. Isn't she cute? Of course, she is colored with Copics. If you click on the picture you can really see all the shimmer and glitz on the ornament and hanger. For the ornament I used DECO ART GLAMOUR DUST - CRYSTAL and I used DECO ART GLAMOUR DUST - GOLD on the hanger. I used little stamps to decorate the ornament. There are so many ways to decorate it.

This beautiful DP is BEST CREATIONS MERRY CHRISTMAS. I am sure most of you are familiar with Best Creations paper, but for you who are not this paper is embossed and glittered. So I added more glitz by backing the image in gold glittered paper and using bows made with gold glitz ribbon. The little tree is from ribbon which was gold and I colored it with my Copics.

US/Canada: You will find the stamps in the Elisabeth Bell section at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design HERE.

UK/Europe: You will find the stamps in the Elisabeth Bell section at Quixotic Paperie HERE.

Please go to the store Blog and check out the other designers cards. You will be amazed with all the different ideas with the same image.

Thank you for visiting me.

PRECIOUS PRESENT

Good Morning! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. The weather here is now starting to feel a little like fall even though it is 90 degrees.

I tell ya, everytime I do one of the Sylvia Zet images I fall in love all over again. This image is PRECIOUS PRESENT FROM THE ADVENTURES OF POPPY AND FRIENDS.


Of course, she is colored with Copics. Hair: E30-35-57-59-YR21, Skin: E0000-E000-E02-E11-R20, Dress: BV0000-01-02-04-31, RV0000-55-63-66,
Gift: Y23. Her wings, headband, and flowers are accented with Stickles and Kaisercraft Pearls.

I know this card is kinda frilly, but with 4 granddaughters one of them will like it. I got a little carried away with the all the gold around the image, but it turned out okay. The MEMORY BOX ELEGANT SCROLLWORK DIE is used around the image and flowers. I just cut it up to suit my purpose. I used the MEMORY BOX VAL FLOURISH on the bottom. After I cut flourishes out I sprayed them and the flowers with MAYA ROAD IRIDESCENT PEARL gives them a really nice shimmer. If you click on the pic to enlarge it you may be able to see the sparkle.

SHOPPING ALERT !!!!!

Susana is always adding new fun stuff and goodies to SCACD. Here are a few you might want to check out, but while you are there take your time and see what fun stuff you find.

Here is my complete card. Aren't all these images just the cutest ever? I have the honor of presenting "Winter Wonder" and loved playing with this image. Of course, the image is colored with Copics. The trim around her coat, hat, and the little bear's hat was done using the Viva Satene - Mother of Pearl. This product has a nice texture and is super easy to apply with a brush.

The background is sponged on with several different colors. The snow and snowflakes were made by first using the Viva Satene - Mother of Pearl,after drying I applied DecoArt Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint - Crystal and while it was still wet I applied a little Flower Soft Diamond Range-Polar White which Susana just happens to have on sale now.

The beautiful DP is from the Bo Bunny - Father Christmas Paper Pad which is also on sale . As you all know I love the Bo Bunny Trinkets, this one is from the Father Christmas Pack. The beautiful bow was made using the Bow Easy and the satin ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
