Hey Ghoulfriend

 Hello and welcome to October and a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash. Along with fall and the Canadian Thanksgiving October brings HALLOWEEN, so we would like to see your spooky, cute, scary Halloween cards. This is my second spooky card and I used a favourite "sheetload" sketch I would still like to get a oouple more done, perhaps when I get all my Halloween stamps and dies in the same place. 

Two sheets of  6x6 patterned paper made two cards, my stash is a pack of 6 stamps from Hero Arts, 2001 you can see them in the picture. I am positive these were my first Halloween stamps. Of course Monica looks cute in her flower costume this stamp is dated 2008, the patterned paper is a Halloween pack from Bo Bunny I think as there was no cover so I've had it for a long time. Both the image and sentiment are popped up more than I usually would but they are not being mailed this year due to Canada Post being on strike for the second fall in a row. 

Inside was finished with a couple of the stamped imaged and left over patterned paper made into flags. I will add the inside sentiment when I'm home.

Halloween!!

 Welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and it's my great grandson's favourite time in fact his mom said I could make him Halloween cards all year. The prompt is to use the holiday for the theme or use Halloween colours orange, black, green, lime and/or purple, as you see mine is a super cute Halloween card using one of my House Mouse Halloween stamps. So when I saw the September 2024 Sheetload sketch I knew it was perfect. If you follow the full instructions it makes 12 mini slimline cards, I wanted to use up some 6 X 6 Halloween papers so I prepped for 3 but only managed to get one finished, be prepared to see the other 2 soon.

Now isn't Monica just adorable in her butterfly wings. One section on the front is folded back and glued down. I love this slimline design, find the link HERE

I added the Happy Halloween and shadow, this is a very quick and easy fold.

I put a circle where the sentiment will be when I print a suitable one from one of the "free' sites.

Well I couldn't resist a close up of Monica doesn't she make a cute butterly.

H is for Halloween *Pink is Optional

 Another new month another new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, Edna has gone overboard on her invitation to play along.

Kudos to Lee for the fabulous graphic.

As you see it is H is or Halloween *pink optional I usually make a pink Halloween card but I was just too excited with the snarky Halloween cat.

I have had all the components for the card but the background it seemed so daunting but with Saturday looming I needed to bite the bullet and git 'er done. I ink blended  spun sugar, villanous potion, uncharted mariner and black soot over a circle mask, bats are flat attached but the main image is elevated.

Picture to show the dimension.

The inside is finished with a computer generated verse and a scrap of patterned paper. (not sure I like it either, too late. lol)

H is for Halloween

 Hello friends it's time to get those Halloween steamps and dies out and join the challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. Normally I would do a Pink Halloween card but I'm Pinked out right now.

I used a digital image from Bugaboo Stamps (no longer in operation) masked the card and blended two shades of distress inks for the moon, The large bat and the spider are plastic pieces I found in my stash box. The Patterned paper is from Bo Bunny Fright collection which works great for the 5 1/2 inch square card.

I finished the inside with some left over scraps of paper and a computer generated sentiment.

No snark with this card but if you head over to the Main Blog you will see some that the rest of the design team have made. 

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely Halloween.

Frightfully Delightful

It's time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and the theme is Frightfully Delightful so we want to see a frightfully cute ghost, skeleton, vampire, witch or anything you consider Halloween. I knew immediately I had to use one of my super cute Halloween house mouse images, and I found this one already stamped in my stash. 

It's Maxwell dressed up Dracula and he is on a wobble. Super easy design I used a piece of patterned cardstock from DCWV Midnight spell matstack which is well over 5 years old, I also found some sentiments from Kraftin' Kimmie that were in my stash along with the black cat that is sitting on the fence. I have no idea when I bought the package of plastic Halloween pieces. I made a 5 1/2 inch square card The hardest part of the card was fussy cutting Maxwell.

Finished the inside with some patterned paper and a computer generated Halloween sentiment.
