Designer Challenge - Haunted Location

 Hello again friends,

It's Designer Challenge Day - this month we are challenged with creating a Haunted Location.  I have a card for you that I made awhile back and this is the perfect time for it.  I have a Haunted Pirate Ship.  This was so much fun to make because it is just silly.  Not only do I have skeletons on board - but there are skeleton fish as well.

On the front of my card I have used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage along with Karen Burniston dies and stamps.  It was fun to use Halloween and Pirate together.  A strange mash up, indeed.

Here you can see the spooky fellows a little closer.

Saving the best for Last! STAMPtember

 Hi friends,

Today is the final day for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember event and they have saved the best and cutest for last.  This is the only time you can get this adorable stamp set from Riley and Company.  It is made especially for this event and when it's gone there will be no more.  I mean, how cute is Riley flying high with his friend Simon?

I am so happy to have been able to make a card using this amazingly cute stamp set.  I used the plane with Riley and Simon and then dressed them up with scarfs and helmets (all included in the stamp set).  Since I wanted them flying high, I combined them with the Karen Burniston Rocket Pop Up, threw in some pink clouds and it was ready to go.  Because they were all having so much fun, I added another Riley stamp floating up on balloons. I've linked that one below since it is still available.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to order your set right away before they are gone.

Thanks for flying by,

Spooky Halloween Treat Box

 Hi friends and welcome back,

I have some fun to share with you today.  These cute little treat boxes were made using the Karen Burniston Slider Box (I have linked instructions for the box below).  I have added a little twist to these by adding small LED Balloon Lights.  Even though I glued mine into the box - please beware of giving them to children.

These lights can be a choking hazard, so I do not advise giving them to children under the age of 8.

NOW ANOTHER WAY TO USE THESE LIGHTS WITH Karen Burniston dies  

To make these fun jack-o-lanterns simply cut the spooky face in the front panel before assembly.

Then just add light!

To be sure that the light appears where it is needed - I have hot glued the light to the bottom of the box. There is still enough room for a treat.  When the little tab is pulled out, it lights up.  The tab can be reinserted to turn off again.  

Thanks for Stopping by,

Monthly Series Card - Halloween

 Hi Friends,

It's time for another card in my series using small dies and Charms from Karen Burniston along with the Postage Collage from Waffle Flower.  This month I'm celebrating Halloween, one of my favorites.  I love the colors and images that go with Halloween. 

 Enjoy -

For the pop up inside, I used the Heart Collage Pop-Up to make my ghosts pop out.

I have linked Karen's Instruction video below for the Heart Collage.

Designer Challenge - Four Seasons

 Hello friends,

Thanks for stopping by today, it is Designer Challenge Day and this month Karen Burniston has challenged the team with the theme of "Four Seasons".  I used the Triple Flip Die Set for my card but as you will see, I have added 2 panels.  I have used this technique in the past and I made a video to show you how to add the extra panels.  I have linked that video below as well as Karen's instruction video for the Triple Flip.  This is a slimline card that measures 9" X 4".

Happy Crafting,

Strike Up Some Fun

 Hello my friends,

I have a fun bowling card to share today.  I made it for our friend who loves bowling - each year I challenge myself to make a pop up bowing card for him.  This time I used the Karen Burniston Pop 'N Swap die set to create the perfect strike.  I have linked all the products I used below as well as Karen's instruction video on how assemble the Pop 'N Swap.   For the bowling ball and pins - I used the Scan n Cut.
