Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Autumn/Halloween

Welcome to October's Blog Hop! This month we are showcasing Autumn/Halloween/Fall Colours! I chose to use the Tricks & Treats Bundle to make this spooky Halloween card!

The colour inspiration actually came from a top I was wearing!

The card base is Starry Sky and I embossed a Starry Sky layer with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I added some layers of Lemon Lolly and Highland Heather which had been embossed with one of the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders. I also dragged the matching ink colours over the embossing on these two pieces to add some contrast.

I cut a circle from Basic White using the Deckled Circles Dies. I added a moon mask which was cut from a Post-It Note using the second smallest Stylish Shapes Dies circle. I then used Blending Brushes to add some Lemon Lolly, Highland Heather and Starry Sky ink. I removed the mask and added a little Lemon Lolly to the moon. I stamped the bats in Starry Sky. I then stamped the house on Highland Heather cardstock using Starry Sky ink and cut it out using the Tricks & Treats Dies. I also stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky on Basic White and die cut it with the small tag die in the same set. I attached the house and the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I wrapped some White 1/2" Iridescent Ribbon around the whole layer and adhered it to the card base.

I added some silver trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack (Online Exclusive) to the sentiment tag and added the tag with Stampin' Dimensionals.

AWOW Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Each month, a group of demonstrators from all over the world create projects based on that month's theme. You will be able to hop around below to see all the wonderful inspiration!

This month, the theme is a Sketch Challenge!

I love using sketches! Sometimes, I'll take the sketch as a jumping off point and my card doesn't end up looking much like the original sketch BUT, SOMETIMES, it can look A LOT like the original sketch!

When you are in a hurry, as I was with this card, you can literally copy the sketch - even the colours!

I made this card with very little thinking on my part, lol!

For this card, I used the Stars at Night Bundle from the gorgeous O Holy Night Suite on pages 14-15 of the September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue. The cardstock colours I chose are Thick Very Vanilla (for the card base), Boho Blue, Very Vanilla, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. The Very Vanilla layer was embossed with the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. The squares were die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The ribbon is the Night of Navy & Gold 1/2" Glittered Ribbon.

The Night of Navy paper with the gold foil accents is from the Shining Brightly 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. The stars were die cut using the Stars at Night Dies and the More Dazzle 6" x 6" Specialty Paper, and adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used a small strip of that paper.

I stamped the partial sentiment in Night of Navy ink on Very Vanilla. I first covered the end of the sentiment (the part I didn't want) with a Post-It Note and inked up the stamp. Then I peeled off the Post-It Note and stamped the partial sentiment.
