Eat, drink and be scary...

Happy Halloween!

Tonight's the big night and I'm ready for any tick or treaters who may pay me a visit. Witch hat... check. Fun size candy... check! And for my final Halloween card of the year I decided to ink up the last little critter from the Hello Bluebird Halloween Party set that was waiting to see ink. This darling bear cub with her candy apple had me grabbing all of the little candy accessory stamps to add to the scene as well as this great sentiment from the Spooky Script set. I also added Glossy Accents to the candy to make it look hard and shiny. :)

Ok friends, I hope your day is spooktacular! Be safe and have fun!

Movie NIght...

Hey there!

I didn't have time to make another Halloween card yesterday so I hit my back log of TGF cards waiting to get posted and this one caught my eye. I like to think that these two cuties from the #Couplegoals set have settled in for a scary movie night in the ol' love seat in honor of the upcoming holiday. She looks quite engrossed in the movie while he seems to be a bit more preoccupied with the sweet gal pal cuddling close. The background was done using the ink smooshing technique and I went with a mellow yellow to mimic delicious buttery popcorn. And I even found these great popcorn kernel stamps in an old October Afternoon Christmas set that are the perfect finishing touch. Is it terrible that I could really go for some popcorn right now? LOL!

Anywho, thanks for popping in and I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Spread your wings and fly...

Good morning!

It's my turn to share some inspiration on the 7 Kids Customers Create Facebook page and because I have been so busy behind the scenes getting ready for this past weekend's Moonlight Whispers release as well as the upcoming Sweet November release today's post kind of snuck up on me. Before I panicked too much I remembered that I still hadn't shared all of the Whimsy Fairy ATCs that I made this summer for the Things with Wings ATC swap. Now there aren't too many left in the store at this point but I just love them so much and I think they are some of the cutest fairies out there! With the smaller size of the artist trading cards I didn't worry about the stamps being too big because even losing some of their parts off the edge it's not like you can't tell what they are or what they are doing. In fact, I kinda dig how each one looks like a quick glimpse of something magical before it flutters away. I really hope that the ladies who got them enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them. :) 
   
Ok, there is only a couple more days to get in on the October Sweet November challenge where everyone who participates earns an exclusive surprise digi as well as a shot at winning the entire Sweet November November release! And don't forget the Mood Board Challenge for a shot at a $20 gift certificate to the 7 Kids store!

Supply list:

stamps- Whimsy Stamps (Faye the Fairy, Spring Fairy, Fairy Wishes, Fairy and her Bunny, Giselle the Fairy, Hello Friend, Make a Wish)

Copic markers

Boo-yah!

Hi there! 

I'm sharing another Halloween card that I made for the Trick or Treat 2 and Haunted House release at The Greeting Farm a while back. I've had so much fun playing around with the sizing of this Haunted House digital stamp and the different types of scenes you can create with it by doing so. I've printed it out very small, kinda mid-size and now I've gone for the extreme close up to use it more as a full back drop for these cute trick or treaters. It really made this card super quick and easy to create, which is always a huge plus!

Later gators!

Bring on the merry with a new Moonlight Whispers release!

Hello friends! 

Fellow fans of Moonlight Whispers will be excited to see that we are introducing three brand new Christmas images today! Annie has put together a cheery, and a bit irreverent, set of digital stamps that are available now at 7 Kids! And for today only there is a special bundle deal for you to take advantage of and save. And be sure to stop by the 7 Kids Customers Create page for fun and games and chances to win during today's release celebration!

First up we have A Smidge of Merry and these two little Christmas fairies are hitting the Egg Nog pretty hard, LOL! Both of these fairies are totally cute and the great thing is that not only do you get the merged image of the two together but you also get each one individually so it is like you are getting two digis for the price of one! I actually played around with the individual ones for my card today, merging them into a slightly different configuration for my scene. There's no denying it, these fairies know that the Christmas tree isn't the only thing getting lit this year! ;)   

Next up we have, The Best Gift. This little elf has wrapped himself up in pretty papers and bows, just waiting to surprise someone special on Christmas morning. But we all know that patience isn't a strong suit for most elves and he couldn't resist bursting out of the packaging early, LOL!

And finally we have No Grinches Allowed. This sweet little fairy is getting distracted from her tree decorating duties when she spots her reflection in one of the shiny ornaments. You can tell she is quite fascinated by her own appearance... and why wouldn't she be? She's a complete doll! ;)
