Eek! A Mummy

Hello, here is a card I made using this week

Friday Freebie over at Scrapper's Delights.

This card was super easy and quick to put together thanks to the piece

of background paper from the DCWV Halloween and Fall stack I got a few years ago.  Hard to see but I colored her using Copic markers, her face is colored but doesn't show up too well in this picture.

Be sure and head on over to Scrapper's Delights and pick up your image.  It is a progressive challenge over at Scrapper's Delights challenge blog.

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.

Spooky Halloween House

I never usually make Halloween cards, because I am not sure what to do with them afterwards.  LOL  But when I saw this house on the Imagine cartridge Enjoy the Seasons I could not resist, besides I could use this  for one of the sketches on the RAQs Challenge on the Cricut message board this week.

I had the dots background paper in a K & Company mat stack that I got last year in some "candy" that I won.  The purple strip is a Martha Stewart punch that I punched on both sides of an 1.75 inch strip of paper and then added a piece of black glitter paper down the center.    I just love how this turned out and it made me love my Imagine even more.   The house is about 3 inches high.  I set it up to the size I wanted in Cricut Craft Room, put in a white piece of paper and waa laa I had my Halloween house all printed and cut out.  It cuts in five different layers.
Here is a bottom side view

I inked the edges and pop dotted all the layers to give it a lot of dimension.  I cut an extra oval out of gray to mount it all on so it would not get lost on the card base.

I added the "boo" and witch on the moon (you can see her better in the first picture) which are from some Halloween confetti that I had.  They were the perfect size.  The witch was orange and I wanted it black so I colored her using my Copic marker and it worked great.
I also did the inside rather simple and used some more confetti there.

Sure hope you enjoy my Halloween card.  Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween

I never knew till recently how much purple is used for Halloween along with the traditional orange and black.   The center "haunted house" image was sent to me this month by Aprile at October MCPT on the Cricut message board.  If you like coloring using Prisma Pencils and Ordorless Mineral Spirits this is the way to go to get some interesting images each month.  All you have to do is send her a self-addressed stamped envelopes and she will send you the images to create a card and post it on the message board. That is a pretty good deal as she uses high quality paper to stamp the images on.

This card also follows one the the sketches at RAQs Card Challenge that Carolyn hosted this week.  It is one of those cards that looks better in person, the orange circle and the Happy Halloween is Cored'nations glitter paper, the circle is Cuttlebugged with Distressed Strips embossing folder.  The "Happy Halloween" was cut from Happy Haunting cartridge at about 2 3/4 inches.  The black is glossy paper is also Cuttlebugged with Distressed Strips.  The pumpkins are covered with Glossy Accents to give them a shine and some dimension.  I added a small jewel for the door knob, I don't know why I just wanted some bling LOL!
I had won some goodies at Sugar Sweet Paper Treats and what a bunch of neat goodies I got.  All Halloween stuff, the background paper is from K&Company Halloween mat stack that was in my box.:), some glow in the dark glitter which I can't wait to try.  In fact I held it up to the light then took it in the closet to see if it glows!!!! It was cool.  And lots of other things were in my box.  I just love receiving goodies of course who doesn't.
Here is a close up of the haunted house....................

  It is just the cutest image to color with all it's details.  I put glitter pen on the spider web and inked the edges of the entire house just a little bit, in fact I got a little too carried away and inked up my orange chimney oops!  Well let me know what you think and have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Trick or Treat

You know I have never made a Halloween card before because I thought "who am I going to give a Halloween card to?"   Well at RAQ's Challenge this week one of the extra credits was to make a holiday card, any holiday, I recently got DCWV Autumn stack and there were a couple Halloween papers in there, so I thought I would give a Halloween card a try. 
I am so so excited on how this one turned out, it is so cute!  The background web paper is from that DCWV stack and so is the "trick or treat" and I faux stitched with a white open around the edges.   The Happy Halloween is cut from Wild Card out of holographic paper, the same orange paper that is behind the trick or treat.  The white strip that goes across on an angel was just a piece of white card stock but I wanted it to be a little glittery so I had some diamond colored fabric glue so I spread it on the paper and it came out great.  Because it was fabric paint it left the paper very pliable.  I think I discovered something new :)!

The Mummy I cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at about 2 1/4 inches and inked his wrapping lines with gray ink to highlight them, added him some black pearl eyes. 

The spider and web were also cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at about
1 1/4 inches.  The spider is cut twice from black glossy paper and then pop dotted on top of the web.  I hung him from a piece of very light gray sheer ribbon to look like he was hanging from a web. 

I hope you like him as much as I do, almost to much to give away LOL, but I do have someone in mind to send it too!
