Happy "Spooky" Halloween

Wow where is October go?  I can't believe it is already Halloween today!  I hope you all get lots of treats and no tricks! :)  Today I have a fun Halloween card that I have made using some absolutely amazing and cute stamps!

I am a total Team Edward Girl!  I fell head over heels for Edward when reading the Twilight Series books...which I can't wait for the next movie to come out later in November...my sister and I are counting down the days! :) When I got the Make It Crafty Monztaboyz Set (which is currently 25% off at SCACD) I immediately inked up the cute vampire...or if you were in my studio his name turned into Little Edward (wink wink)!  The papers used are from the fabulous Echo Park Apothecary Emporium collection (which also happens to be 25% off at SCACD...think of all the savings you can get by ordering these Halloween items today...you'll be ahead of the game for next year at this time)!  

My Little Edward was colored with Copics and cut out using my SB Circles, and then popped up onto a SB scalloped square.

Copic Colors Used on Little Edward: Skin: E11, E40, E42, Hair: E27, E35, E47, E49, Coat: N0, N1, N3, N5, Cape & Pants: N3, N5, N7, N9, R05, R46, R59, Bat: N3, N5,N7, N9.

The gorgeous flower arrangement was made using my Marianne Design LR0128 Flower Fantasy Die for the flower and leaves.  The Bat was created using Teresa Collins Happy Hollows Stamp Set.  Topped off with a Prima Delightful Day Glory Flower.  Flower, leaves, and Mr. Batty were edged with Black Diamond Stickles.

I also got a chance to color the other Monztaboyz too....although I didn't get cards made for the other two boys.....but I wanted to at least share my colored images with you :)

Meet Mr. Headless Horseman!  I still can't get over how fun these characters were to color.  Of course they all were colored with Copics.

Copics Colors Used on the Headless Horseman: Pumpkin: YR04, YR12, YR16, YR18, Y38, Y000, G28, YG00, YG06, YG45, Cape: N3, N5, N7, N9, V000, V01, V17, V95, V99, BV11, Pants: N3, N5, N7, N9, Shirt: B00, B41, B93, B95, Boots: E25, E47, E49.

Finally meet Little Frankie....that's the name that I gave him.  I thought he was so darn tootin' cute...with being so shy!

Copic Colors used on Frankie: Bolts: C1, C3, C5, C7, B93, Hair: E25, E31, E47, E49, Eyes: E97, YR12, YR18, Skin: YG91, YG93, YG95, YG99, YG0000, Shirt: V09, V15, V17, Jacket: N3, N5, N7, N9, Jeans: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99.

And finally one more view of my Little Edward card!  Again I hope you all have a Happy Halloween and get lots of treats!

Welcome Fall

Happy October!  Are you all ready for fall....I know I'm sure not....I would much rather have warm weather....lol!  Fall means that the dreaded *S* word is on the way....for those who don't live in the upper part of the States that dreaded word is snow....blech!  But I do enjoy the holidays...so all in all it's not a bad time of year!  Plus with fall comes football..and since my team....The Green Bay Packers are the reigning Super Bowl Champs..watching the Packers play makes fall more fun!  Today I have a fun festive fall card to share with you!

Please meet Pumpkin Patch Peeker....she is one of the adorable NEW Peekers in the Holiday Peeker Collection by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD!  Have you gotten your Peeker Fix yet?  You do know the ONLY way to cure Peeker Fever is to purchase your very own Peeker Stamp set, which you can get      -->HERE<-- at SCACD, or for my friends over the pond you can get them -->HERE<-- at Quixotic Paperie.  Papers for this beauty are Echo Park Apothecary Emporium Collection (which is 20% off now at SCACD)!

Pumpkin Patch Peeker was colored with Copics and my pastel pencils.  She was cut out using SB Labels 4 (which is 15% off now at SCACD) and while still in the die the sky and ground were airbrushed.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and arrangement consists of a 35mm Trellis Rose, NEW Carnations, 15mm Roses, Hip Rosebuds, Tulips, Gypsophilas, Gold Glitter Holly Berries, 15 mm Rose Leaf, 25mm Rose Leaf, and a Heart Pin.  I then added some black sparkly tulle to the ends of the arrangement.  Flowers have been glitzed with Diamond Stickles.

Check out the beautiful Guipure Lace.  Then I took some tan raffia ribbon and braided it for a fun edging above the lace.  The triple raffia bow was made using my Bow Easy and then a decorative metal corner was added for a finishing touch.

I hope you have enjoyed my fall creation!  Make sure you head over to the SCACD store to get your very own Pumpkin Patch Peeker....or better yet get the whole Holiday Peeker Set.  When you purchase the WHOLE Holiday Peeker Stamp Set you get 3 FREE mini stamps illustrated by SCACD's Co-DT Leader Carolyn!  Plus when you purchase the whole set you are saving a total of $6 or 20% off of purchasing each stamp individually.

Happy World Card Making Day 

to all of my crafty friends!  I hope that you all got some crafty time in today!  Today our friend is getting married so the below is the wedding card that I made for the new Mr & Mrs!

This card features the beautiful Kaisercraft After 5 Collection.  I was so excited when I found in my stash the SAME blue shimmery paper that the wedding invitation was made out of so I accented the Kaisercraft paper with the beautiful blue pearl shimmer paper.   Lace is from Wild Orchid Craft and was woven with some silver ribbon from my stash.  WOC also carries rhinestone swirls like the one in the bottom right corner.

Sentiment is from the Verve Love Story collection which was stamped on a cut out that comes with the Kaisercraft paper pad.  I edged it with Silver Stickles and layered on top of a SB Circle and then a SB Doilie Motiff.

Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and arrangement consists of a 35mm Trellis Rose, 20mm Roses, Sweetheart Blossoms, Babies Breath, Gypsophilas, and 5mm Rosebuds.  Flowers were sparklized with Diamond Stickles.  MS border was accented with 3mm self adhesive rhinestones.

And one more angle view!  I hope you have enjoyed my card for today....hard to believe I made another card without Copics!  LOL!

Happy Weekend to you all!
