Poppy Stamps Challenge - Get Your Spook On!

I'm excited to be guesting with Poppystamps this month for their monthly challenge!  This month's theme is Get Your Spook On!  I used some great Poppystamps products to make this cute Halloween card.

I started by cutting some spider webs and then used repositionable adhesive and layed them out on the panel.  Then I sprayed some Distress Oxide Sprays over the top and splattered some paint.  Then I peeled the spider webs off.  Next I sprayed Glitter Dust over the top (including my webs because of course I'm going to use those eventually!  I set the panel aside to dry.

I cut that cute little witch from Copic Friendly paper and colored each piece and then assembled them using the pic on the packaging as a guide.  Then I cut the ghost and pumpkin I cut along with my webs and colored the pumpkin orange.  I placed a purple piece of cardstock behind it.  Finally I cut the Happy Halloween in purple glitter paper and the shadow from black and then arranged everything on the background.  Finally a few sequins and done!

Be sure to hop on over to Poppystamps for more inspiration and to play along!

Fall/Winter 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 2 1/2

Welcome back!   It's Day 2 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and for my second card for today, I've used some lovely Pink and Main stamps and paper along with dies from Lawn Fawn and Poppy Stamps!

Mmmmm... this was me on Thanksgiving Day...lol!  I started with that beautiful Double Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Die set from Poppy Stamps to cut the polka dot layer from one of the design papers from the fun Pumpkin Spice 6x6 Paper Pad from Pink and Main. 

Truthfully on Thanksgiving Weekend we went away with the family and I brought along some stamps, ink, paper, Copics and colored pencils and that's what I did during the down time.. I mean don't get me wrong... it was all down time..lol!  But, I colored when everyone else was busy doing other things.  I stamped a bunch of images from the Pumpkin Spice stamp set as well as that adorable Squirrel in a coffee cup from the Perfect Blend set and colored them in while I was there.

Later at home when I was ready, I cut out the images because I was dumb and didn't buy the coordinating dies when I had a chance (SMH).  Then I cut a vellum layer from C.C. Designs just to slightly tone down the busy paper where my images would be layered.  Then I went about deciding what I wanted where and used various thicknesses of popup tape to arrange them including some wonderful popup squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.   OMG... that squirrel right??  Next after I had my images all attached I cut some of those sweet Stitched Leaves using the Lawn Fawn die from some previously watercolored paper and inserted them where I deemed necessary :)

I decided to nestle this sentiment from the Pumpkin Spice set in with my goodies... just stamped it with Versamark onto some black paper; embossed it in white, cut it out and popped it up!  Just a few sequins scattered around and I was finished!

One more look!  I'm playing along with a few other challenges too!  Over at Double Trouble Challenges, they're all about Holiday Sweet Treats... I'd say this qualifies-and with the sequins I've also met the Twist - you are welcome Twisted Sister!  And they are partnering with Use Your Stuff Challenge... it's a gorgeous holiday mood board... this doesn't fit the colors AT ALL, but it does have lots of yummy goodies on it so I'd say I'm good to go!   Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes this week and I'm linking up over there.

Thanks so much for visiting me!  I'm hopping and making my way around.  If I normally visit you and you miss me... don't worry... I'll be around!!  I promise... it just might take me a while.  Hope you'll play along over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog and check out some of the other challenges I'm playing along with.  Just check out the rules for each place before you play along!

And huge thanks to our Super Sponsors for the Coffee Hop!

Adventure Awaits - Pinkfresh Studio and Double Trouble

So glad you're back!  I'm sharing with you today another vacation project that I created for the Double Trouble 1,2,3 Challenge that is going on now and they are teaming up with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, so I've used this week's sketch for an additional chance to win the prize over at Double Trouble!

I started with some awesome papers from Lil' Inker Designs.  My bottom layer was cut with the gorgeous Lacy Layers 2 die from Waffle Flower Stamps and the image is from PinkFresh Studio's Enjoy The Journey stamp set... LOVE!  So sweet!

For Double Trouble, the challenge is:

The ingredients are:

Three (3) Colors 

A Two (2) Word Sentiment (Happy Birthday, Thank You, etc.) 

One (1) Stamped or Digital Image (Flowers, Critter, Hearts, etc.)

The main three colors I've used that are not neutrals are the blue, pink and yellow.  My two word sentiment...lol!  (I originally used the Enjoy The Journey sentiment from this set and when I realized what I did I stamped it over... but I do think my friend Kathy will use the other one so it's all good!) and one image... which is really two images from the set but since they're connected here, I believe that makes one!

I stamped my image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with my Copic markers.  I added some butterflies and am also entering this one into this week's Outlawz Twisted Thursday which is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  This week's twist is Wings or Scales... and I chose wings!  I'm loving these Stitched Fluttering Butterflies dies from Poppy Stamps that I found while on vacation at our favorite place to visit when we're in Buffalo, Buffalo Stamps and Stuff!  I added a few Nuvo drops and my favorite Shimmer Sequins from Craftin Desert Divas!

And here's the sketch!

Thanks for stopping!  You should definitely check out all of these challenges I'm joining today!  And at Double Trouble, if you play along with both their challenge and Atlantic Hearts for this week, you'll receive two chances to win their prize!

Come back soon!
