Halloween Cards for the Grandbabies

Hello crafty people!

I love to make cards to send my grandbabies for

holidays.
Here are the cards I made for them this year for

Halloween.

I have a small stack of burlap paper and decided

it would be perfect to use for their cards

I cut out a pattern with scrap card stock

and traced it onto the back of the

burlap papers, then cut them out.

For the background on the pumpkin, I inked

some clouds for the sky and

cut green paper into grass.
I love googly eyes, so used them for the 

eyes on each card.

I stamped the background on the spider card

with a stamp from my stash and

black ink.  I hung the spider with some 

black thread glued to the card.

Inside the cards I used a simple 
Happy Halloween

greeting.

I think the kids will like receiving these cards

 in the mail.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you will stop in again soon.

Until then,

make a kid smile!

 

Cool Cat Halloween Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I have a couple Halloween cards to show you.

My friend gave me a die set that cuts out this

background.  There are several pieces that you

have to put together, but it's really simple.

I die cut with this set on black card stock

and 3 different colors of paper that I thought

were prefect for Halloween.

I also stamped my "cool cat" onto the orange

paper and fussy cut him.
The bats were stamped and fussy cut also

from a stamp that a friend had.

All of it was layered onto a white card stock

base.

I stamped the sentiment onto the

same papers that I used for the outside of the card,

then cut around each word and adhered them inside the 

card.

For this card, I used the scraps from the 

card above and cut random strips of paper.

I covered a piece of card stock with 

double sided tape and put down the

strips of paper to use as the background.
I again stamped and fussy cut the cat and adhered him 

with foam tape to the front of the card.

The sentiment was stamped with a stamp in my 

friend stash.

Inside this card, I stamped this sentiment.

I really love how these cards turned out,

and I hope the recipients do too.

I'm glad you stopped in today,

I hope you are inspired in some way

and will come again soon.

Until then,

Happy Halloween!

 

Asher's First Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!

Today I have a sweet Halloween Pumpkin to

share with y'all.

My daughter in law told me what she wanted to do

for a Halloween picture of my sweet 4 month old

grandson, Asher and wondered if I could do 

something for a hat for him.

This is what I came up with.  I had no measurements

or pattern and just flew by the seat of my pants.
I had the right yarns in my stash and pulled out

the crochet hooks and got started.

I just wanted something that would sit on top

of his head, and it worked out perfect.

Is he just the cutest little pumpkin boy you

have ever seen?

I'm glad the "hat" sat on top of his head like this

rather than pull down over his head.

It's perfect, just like he is.

I hope y'all are having a fun Halloween

and enjoying all the costumes and goodies.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

spending a little time with me.

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

fly by the seat of your pants,

you never know how nice something

might turn out till you try.

 

Halloween Card for Marie

Hello and Happy Halloween!

Today I have the card I made for my 

Granddaughter, Marie, for Halloween.

She is very into pumpkins right now and

when I take her for a walk, she constantly

asks to see more pumpkins.  So we look in all

the yards trying to find as many pumpkins as

we can.
I thought a pumpkin on her card would be most

appropriate.

I cut the pumpkin with my Silhouette Cameo

out of orange card stock.
There are 2 layers and the top layer was inked

just a little bit with brown ink and then popped up

on foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

The Happy Halloween was also cut with my 

Silhouette using the LD Lightning font with a shadow.
The background piece is some adhesive cork that I had

in my stash.
It's all mounted on a white card base.
I think Marie will love this card!

Thanks for coming by today, 

I hope you have been inspired in some way.
Come again soon,

until then,

BOOOOOO!

 

Halloween Cards

Hello!
I'm not a huge Halloween fan, but there are a 
few kids I send cards to every year.
Today I'm showing you the 3 cards I made this year.

I stamped this image and sentiment with brown
Color Box Chalk Ink
and colored it with Arteza Colored Pencils

For this card I sketched out the goards and colored them
with colored pencils.
Inside I wrote I can't believe it's Halloween already!

I drew and colored this zom-bee with 
colored pencils and made the wings with
vellum.
I think the kids I send these to will get a kick
out of them.

Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you'll come again soon.
Happy Halloween!
