Hello friends! It is Friday the 13th and we thought it would be fun to put together a video hop to share with you some Halloween creations.



So I decided to create a No-Stamp Halloween card using some die cuts, ephemera and metal embellishments.

The Pumpkin Scene die is from tonic studios and is a perfect focal point. To see how I created this card you can click on my video below.



I had a few Halloween word bands left in my Halloween stash so I decided to use the "Bone Collector" word Band. It matched up perfect with the skeleton Halloween ephemera.

Don't forget to check out some of the other videos that are linked up over on my You Tube channel. I am sure they will get you into the Halloween spirit.

Hello Crafty friends! I am here today to share with you another Halloween card using the Large Witch with Cat from I Brake for stamps.  


I used Jet black archival ink to stamp my witch image as well as my Cityscape and utilized my Stamping platform for both. The cityscape is from the half sheet travel set.

The paper I used was a scrap piece I had from the Tim Holtz Laboratorie paper stash. It is an old set, but this design can be created using any of the many spider web stamps released this season.

To finish off the card, I matted the design onto black cardstock then onto some grey.

Hello crafty friends. It is time for another sketch/theme challenge over at STAMPlorations. You can either follow the sketch or use our theme which is Two colors and stamps.


I have chosen to do both, but went very CAS this time. Completely NOT my style, but I am trying something out of my comfort zone.  I am using two stamps today,  True North and Do What you Love from the SAY IT BIG collection.


Because my inside was so CAS, I decided to also decorate the inside of my card. I had some printed paper that had some sale boats which was perfect for my theme.


Now while I only used two of the stamps from the True North set, there are several great ones in this set. Hope to see you over on our challenge!

Here are a few items that I have picked up already in preparation for my holiday card making. 


If you are like me, you get irritated when you see the Christmas decorations and displays showing up in your stores too early. Let's face it, it is difficult to get excited about Christmas when we are still making our Halloween and Fall cards. Not to say I don't love the Christmas in July!



Now, if you create handmade items for the holiday season, then it is perfectly acceptable to start your crafty shopping early. Afterall, our handmade gifts and cards take time to create, so we need to ensure we have the latest products on hand to get our craft on!



While there are several companies that will be coming out with new releases for the holidays, I want to share with you some of my favorites. These are the products that I hope to be using to make my holiday cards and videos.  I hope to be able to give you lots of inspiration, but be sure to stock up early, as the holiday releases are usually…

Hi everyone! It is the beginning of the month and that means another card for my 12 months of Graphic 45. 
For this month's card,I used a Fancy frame that I had in my stash from Spellbinders. I was unable to find the name of the die, but any die that cuts out a 5"x7" frame should work just fine!


If you would like to see how I created this card, you can check out my video below. 



We only have 2 more moths left in this series. I hope that you have been enjoying my monthly series! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone and Happy Monday. I thought i would break it up a bit from my Fall/Halloween shares and share a Christmas card.  Sometimes when you look at a stamp, it inspires you and this one reminded me of a Holiday Family Photo.
The stamp is from I Brake for stamps and is called Family Ties.  

The Fancy frame is from Spellbinders called Floral ovals. It is very ornate and looks like a frame one would use for a family portrait.

I stamped the image using my MISTI and then used an oval die cut to cut it out. I then adhered it to my floral oval frame.

From there is was just a matter of finding some coordinating paper and a sentiment to finish off the card.

I also added some Nuvo drops as a finishing touch.
