Trick or Treat and Spooky Spells

Welcome to the October edition of Control Freaks!  This month we are celebrating the upcoming holidays.  There are so many holidays packed into the last few months of the year, so the creative possibilities are endless!  Hop along and see all of the fun holiday creations!

Did you just arrive from Cindy Elam of Hearts Delight Cards or are you just starting?   Either way, just keep hopping until you make the full loop!

I switched back to some Halloween cards for todays hop.  I paired up Best Witches with the stamps from the September Paper Pumpkin Spooky Treats for some spooktactular creations!

I decided on a colorful witch for the first card, giving her a Parakeet Party dress and Rich Razzleberry cape and hat. I think the only spell she could put on someone is a spell of sweetness!

This next little witch is a bit more traditional with her black hat and cape.  I love her "golden" Daffodil Delight dress...she's a happy, sunshiny witch!

As you can see, I used the same layout and patterns of Celebrate Everything DSP for both cards.  I made a few sets of each card for a special order, so this was a quick way to get them all done!

Next up is my friend Wendy Weixler of Wickedly Wonderful Creations.  You don't want to miss her Happy Holidays creation!

Happy Stamping!

If You've Got it, Haunt it!

 

Hi stampers! Welcome to another awesome Monday Montage blog hop!

Fall is officially here, but it sure hasn't felt like it!  We had a weekend full sunshine and warmth and I'll take every moment of it that I can!

While the weather may not feel fall-like yet, that isn't stopping me from inking up the adorable Bewitching stamp set!

My intent was to place the 3 hats, all upright, across the front of the card.  But I didn't like the way they looked, so upside down one of them went!  If you've got it, haunt it, right?!?!

The images were colored in Stampin' Blends shades of Fresh Freesia, Parakeet Party and Pumpkin Pie.  The hats were punched out with the coordinating Witch Hat Builder and one set of the boots and socks were fussy cut.

The creepy-cute little spider filled in a little space in the upper right corner and a single black Classic Matt Dot was the only embellishment needed.  The fun sentiment comes from the Best Witches stamp set, which was meant to be paired up with these fun witch hats and boots!

Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Friday friends and welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges sketch challenge!

I always love a good sketch and this one gave me a great excuse to pull out the new Best Witches stamp set and Black & White DSP.  4th of July is over, so it's time to start decorating for Halloween, right?!?!  Just kidding...I hold off on Halloween decorations until at least mid September, but I can still have fun creating cards now and being ready when it rolls around!

I love Parakeet Party with the Black & White DSP, especially mixing a couple of the patterns.  I colored the witches dress in Fresh Freesia to add a bit more color.  This is such a fun Halloween color combo!

If you love to color like I do, Best Witches is a must have for your Halloween creating this fall!

Join along in the fun and play along with our sketch challenge.  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

Happy Stamping!
