Halloween Cards

Finally found the time to post here again! Too many things going on the past few weeks that I haven't had the time to get to my desk to make any projects. I had to get these cards done though for my nieces as the days until Halloween are numbered! Now if I can get the little project done that I have in mind for my daughter and get that posted, I might be doing good.

These cards were made with the Cuttlebug embossing folder Boo to You. Then I cut out a few of the circles with my circle punch and attached them to the black cardstock with foam tape squares. I used a paper piercing kit from my friend Michelle to make the piereced border on the top and bottom of the black strip. Then I used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment. Pretty simple but I was excited to finally try paper piercing and thought it turned out cute! I included a rather poor close-up to show the piercing.

Thanks for looking!

Sketch card plus one.

I decided to try my hand at creating a card from a sketch. I love visiting Heather's blog and liked her sketch for the week so I gave it a shot. It's not quite the same, but I think it's close enough. Plus, after I finished, I made one more card with my leftovers. What a quick way to make two cards!!!

Supplies: Making Memories (paper), Lasting Impressions (rub-ons), Stampin' Up (scallop border punch, clip), Offray (ribbon)

My first post!

After more than two years blogging about my daughter, I have finally started a blog for my other addiction - papercrafting!! Here is a little card I made with my new Marvy scalloped circle punch. It is basically a CASE of a cute card that Jennifer McGuire showed on her blog. I used last year's Delicious Autumn TAC set for the cat and sentiment. I colored the cat with my Bic Mark-it markers. Pretty simple but I thought it turned out ok. It is my goal to try to update my blog at least every other day so we will see how that goes. Thanks for visiting!
