Happy Halloween

 

This fabulous card was made by my eldest daughter and myself.  She made the Pumpkins using the Stampin’ Up! Large Oval Punch (1 ¾ x  ”). 

Halloween

They’re a cheeky bunch of Pumpkins.  So easy to make and so so effective for Halloween.  Their faces are just cut out from Basic Black Cardstock and stuck on using SNAIL Adhesive.  Alternatively you can use the Multi Purpose Liquid Glue.

We used the following…
Card Stock – Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie & Concord Crush

Accessories – Large Oval Punch (1 ¾ x  ”), Signo White Gel Pen

Trendy Trees

I just love this cute set.

There so much you can do with it.  Little thank you cards, notes to friends just to say hi. With autumn underway it was definitely the inspiration I needed to make this cute little card.
Trendy Trees
The set incorporates the Two-Step Stamin’ technique.  However,  you can do as I did, and stamp your tree trunks onto the base card.
The base card is Soft Suede, with Whisper White.  The tree trunks are stamped in Soft Suede ink and the tree tops in Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry.  I love this colour combo.
The funky tree tops were stamped onto Stampin’ Ups’! vellum and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder just to give it a gleam.  The picture doesn’t do it justice.  I trimmed round the tree tops using my paper snips, and attached them to the base card using Mini Glue Dots to give it a slight 3D effect.
All the items used making this card can be purchased directly from me.  Contact me to place your order.
