Halloween Cards for A&A

Hello All!

Today I have a couple Halloween cards to show you.

I wanted to do something a little different for these 

two cards and came up with the idea of 

coffins that open.

Here is what I came up with.

I created a coffin with black card stock.

Using Ms. Sparkle & Co Spider Web stamp

that I got from Joann's ages ago, I stamped

the front with VersaMark Ink and embossed

with silver embossing powder.

For the inside, I found a skull image I liked on 

Google and traced it and colored it to make it

my own, then I fussy cut it and put it on a 
"wobbler"

The Happy Halloween sentiment was from 

my stash.

For the second card I did the same for the front,

but used purple embossing powder.

Inside I found a "sugar skull" that I liked,

printed, colored and fussy cut it

and put it on a 'wobbler' too.

The coffins were then adhered to a piece of gray 

card stock, a photo turn was added to hold it closed

and dash marks were drawn around the outside to 

finish it off.
I think the kids that are receiving these cards will 

like them.  I think they turned out really cute.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for spending some time with me today,

come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy some crafty fun!

Unicorn Minnie

Hi all!

The other day I posted a card for my 

great nephew with Darth Vader on it.

Today I'm showing you the card I made for

his sister, Andrea, who is also our Godchild.

Andrea is crazy for unicorns, so I took a picture of

Minnie Mouse, drew it onto a piece of card stock

without her big bow and added a horn instead.

She is adhered with a Wobbler to give her 

some movement.

The sentiment is from 

Big Scripty Words from Lawn Fawn

I thought she turned out really cute and Andrea loved her card.

I think Andrea loved her envelope even more though.

I used a water colored background piece from my stash,

and lettered her name onto it, then adhered it to the 

envelope.  She took the name piece off the envelope 

gave it to her Mom and said she wanted to keep it.

Thanks for stopping by today,  I hope you are inspired in 

some way.  Maybe you'll try doing a little something

on the next envelope you use.

Let me know in the comments if you ever do any

artwork on your envelopes.

Until next time,

think outside the box!

Darth Vadar

Hello friends!

Today I'd like to show you a card I  made

for my great nephew's birthday.

The family will be going to Disney in a couple months

so I wanted to do something Disney-ish

for him.

Anthony loves Star Wars so I found Darth Vader online,

copied it and added some Mickey ears.

I colored it black and fussy cut it.

I adhered it to the front of a card with a Wobbler

so that it wiggles.
I thought it needed a little something, so added

the little die cut wood stars.

The happy birthday sentiment is from

Big Scripty Words from Lawn Fawn

I also wanted to do something a little special on the envelope.

I took a water colored background from my stash

and lettered his name onto it,

then simply adhered it to the envelope front.

Thanks for popping in to see what I've been up to,

I hope this has inspired you to try something a little different.

If you don't have the stamp or image you need,

try altering one and/or make your own.

Until next time,

make something unique.
