Stirring Up Trouble...

Hi! Happy Labor Day...I wanted to share another quick and easy Halloween card using those fun acetates by Martha Stewart and EK Success...These are the more whimsy ones I had told you about in my previous post....These are fun too because they sparkle! This is one of the large ones in the pack so it takes up alot of your card front...I used paper from her Halloween stack to go with this acetate witch....a bit of black satin ribbon for fun and your done! I do love stamping and coloring alot but when I am pressed for time its great to have these type of supplies around...A great deal for them too...Only 4.99 for 36 pieces! Plus use a coupon for another 40 percent off...Its a good deal...I hope you have a great day today... Thanks for stopping by....

Supplies: Martha Stewart and EK Success Papers and Acetate Die Cuts, Pop Dots and Ribbon

Beware.....

Hi! Hope your all doing great...I saw these great acetate die cuts at Michaels the other day by Martha Stewart/EK Success and just had to get them to try...I was sitting right there on the floor with all 36 of these die cuts spread out looking to see what all you get...lol...There wasnt a photo of what all was in them so whats a girl to do? Anyways I loved all of them! And I thought they were a great price for so many pieces especially if you have a coupon too...So I took the plunge and got them along with another pack of more whimsy ones that I will share a card or two I have made using those also...I have to say they are so much fun to play with...I created this scene on a single piece of metallic cardstock and added red bling here and there for sparkle...Glues dots were added to the parts of the fence in black to attach to base so you cant see them...Pop Dots were added to pop up the headstone and owl....This card was a hoot to make...(no pun intended)....hehe...If you get a chance stop by SCS and get in on the challenge for today to make a card using a single piece of cardstock....Thanks so much for stopping by...I really appreciate the time you take out of your day to do so...Hugs!! Cookie :D

Attention Julie Ebersole at Paper Trufflez I LOVE YA!

Let's Hang Out...

I had so much fun making this card...I LOVE bird cages and I found this stamp a while back in the dollar bin at Michaels...I have had this idea in my head for a few days and thought I better do it before I forget...My favorite style is clean and simple so I took one of my favorite stamps and paired it with that style...I first stamped, scanned and enlarged it just a big bigger than the orginal stamped image...colored the birds to go with the ribbon I wanted to use, punched a hole in the top part to add a jumper ring to string the ribbon through...Pop Dots were added to the back of the birdcages to secure them once I cut them out...I also did this on one sheet of paper and put that on top of the front of the card so you cant see the ribbon secured on the back...Fun and Super Easy! The inside sentiment will say "Lets Hang Out"...Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope your day is tweet! :D

Dreaming Of A White Christmas...(Already?)

No not really....but I had to get in on the challenge over at SCS today cause it sounded so fun...Keeping it very clean and simple I went with a photo from my all time favorite movie "White Christmas" since using snow and distressing were part of the challenge I wanted to use an old photo like this and distress it then put some glitter snow on just the bottom portion of the card...The sparkle doesnt show up on the photo but it sparkles so pretty in person...If you get a chance check out the challenge here and thanks so much for stopping by today!
Supplies: Image from Google, Papers by SU, Pop Dots and Glitter Snow

Ok now you know I have to post a video from White Christmas...lol

Sand and Sea...

Hi! Hope everyone is doing great...This card is for the Clean and Simple Challenge going on over at SCS...I cant believe they are up to 81 challenges already! Time sure does fly...(no pun intended....Doh) The challenge is a color one and the colors are white, kraft and turquoise...I know exactly who this card is going to...And if my Aunt Lori reads this she will too...I used my Martha Stewart Bird Punch to simulate seagulls and tore my paper to give the foam effect of the water at the beach when it rushes up to the shore...This was a fun card to make...A silver bead was added just for fun...Thanks so much for stopping by today!
