A Witch Flyover

Well, I don't usually mail out Halloween cards, but a challenge on the Cricut message board was to create a Halloween card so I thought I would share what I came up with.  Also the challenge this week at

My Sheri's Crafts

is to create anything Halloween so I will post this card there also.

 I think it came out good.  The papers are from DCWV Halloween & Fall stack from last year.  The strip across the top is of course the Drippy Goo punch and then I added some orange trim to it.  Then place some bling down one side.

The witch and moon is cut using the Celebrate with Flourish cartridge.  I added a few faint white streaks across the move to try and ressemble clouds :/

The little bat is a sticker.  

Thanks for stopping by and hope on over to My Sheri's Crafts and post your Halloween creations.

Bunnie, Bunnies, Bunnies

Last week Sheri at My Sheri Crafts asked me to be a guest designer this week.  Yippee, how exciting to be asked twice in one week.  Well the theme this week is BUNNIES, any kind of bunny works, so "hop" on over and give it a try.  Also at Creative Inspirations Challenge the theme is EASTER so I have entered this there.

My bunny is cut from Celebrate with Flourish cartridge and is about 3 inches.  I love the scroll work on him but to dress it up a bit I covered him with Fun Flock, and I also covered the grassy background with Fun Flock also.  I didn't like the way the flower part looked that cut out so I covered it up with some Martha Stewart flower stickers.
Here is a close up of the bunny.

You can see the flock a little better here.  The background striped paper and the white paper are glitter paper.  The "Happy Easter" is cut from MS Season Cake Art cartridge, I added a little glitter pen dots to it.  I also added some epoxy sticker eggs at the bottom.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter.

Trick or Treat Ghost........

Well you know I never really make Halloween card unless I am challenged to!    As most of your know I try and participate in RAQ's Challenge on the Cricut message board every week, this week Sherri at the Jitterbuggin Challenge  is hosting RAQs challenge.   One of her sketches is also for the Jitterbuggin Treat or Treat  special challenge where you can win a Cricut Lite cartridge of your choice.  Anyone can participate so check it out, then on Saturday voting will begin for the winner, I would love to have your votes :)!  The challenge was to use the sketch to make a Trick or Treater using two cartridges and have a star somewhere on your card.  See it that little blingy one next to the moon?  The Ghost is cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and his bag is from Doddlecharms.  The tree and moon I cut at 3 inches from Celebrate with Flourish, I am loving this cartridge more and more however it will not cut using Design Studio, I guess there is an issue with that.

I also posted this on the Sunday weekly challenge Stamptacular Sunday , where the theme is "Layer-it-on", you can use any theme or colors you wish but there must be at least 5 layers and have stamped something.  This card is actually about 8 layers, wow I couldn't believe it either till I counted them.  The "Trick or Treat" is stamped and heat embossed.

I just love the way it came out, I think it is so cute.  The Boo and black cat are a Jolee sticker.  It has so much dimension in person here is a close up of the ghost.  He is two layers pop dotted.  I accented him using watercolor crayons and a blender pen.  I had the hardest time coloring the pimpkin face on his bag as the paper is holographic and nothing would dry on it, I finally just used a Micron pen and that stayed on. 

Let me know what you think, and stop by  Jitterbuggin Challenge I would love to have your vote.........  I would love to read your comments Thanks

Fancy Scarecrow--------

 First a question since I am fairly new at blogging and think about this every time I post, should I post the picture of my card first then give the details or give the details first then post the card.  Please let me know what you prefer.

About two weeks ago I bought my first Lite cartridge from Wal-Mart, I got Celebrate With Floursih............I really like the images and greetings on this cartridge, it is a good all around or should I say year around cartridge.  It pretty much has all the holidays covered and other greetings also.
So when I wanted to do a couple challenges this week that were to follow a FALL theme decided I would trying this cartridge and use the Scarecrow cut. 
This card was made following the sketch and theme of the challenge at Jitterbuggin this week.  It also falls into the Fall theme at Sugar Sweet Paper Treats This is my first time participating in both of these challenges and hope to do more in the future.
The card is 5 by 6 1/2 inches as most of my cards are as I buy the packages of 50 cards and envelopes from Micheal's and use those as my card base.   The scarecrow, I cut at 3 inches.  I tried to cut him using Design Studio but it would not recognize the cartridge, I did some updates by have not tried it again yet, had to cut it the old fashioned way directly from my Expression.  I know there had been a problem with it but not sure if it has been resolved.   I inked the scarecrow up using Versamark pad and then heat embossed with thick clear embossing powder, I guess he came out OK, I was trying to gicivng him a lttle dimension and glow???  Then I got carried away with the heat embossing, LOL I cut the leaves from A Child's Year out of brown, orange and green, inked up the edges to give them some highlights then I embossed them with clear embossing powder, I am real happy with how the leaves turned out.  The 3 leaves in the left hand corner I pop dotted a couple of them.  The pumpkin is a clear epoxy type sticker that  bought last year.  The background plaid paper is from DCWV Autumn stack.  "My Heart Give Thanks" is a stamp then I mounted it on an orange piece of paper and added brads to the sides.
The frame I made in Design Studio using Just Because Cards and Storybook.

This might fit into the challenge this week at Paper Cutz Challenge where you were suppose to use a critter on your project, does a scarecrow count as a critter, let me know I guess that is kind of boarder line. :)

Here is a close up of the leaves, the small one I added a touch of dark purple to try and replicate so of the beautiful Fall colors

Thanks for stopping by, would love to hear what you have to say.
