Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!


Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:

  • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
  • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
  • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!

  • Sweetest Christmas card kit to go; opt in by Nov 17th! Or choose the PDF tutorial option.


    I have two different card kits to go in November; one Christmas and another 'all occasion'.  See them both (& more) here!  Each one also has a PDF tutorial option if you'd rather get that. 

    I chose the Sweetest Christmas designer paper as my inspiration for these special fun fold cards.  Here's a close up of one: 

    Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper. 

    I have a limited supply of this pre-cut kit as the Adhesive-backed sequins are unavailable right now; luckily I ordered some before they ran out. So be sure to order this ASP if you want it. 

    This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes. 

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list.  You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.

    Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  Choose from 1, 3 or 6 month plans.   

    Here's one of my alternative idea for the Ho Ho Ho kit.  I used one of the die-cut pieces in the kit to sponge snowflakes onto the card base.  Almost all of the rest of it is from the kit!  It's so fun to play with the elements and come up with something new.  

    And below is a peek at the alternative ideas my subscribers received for the October Ho Ho Ho kit. There was a refill for this kit but it sold out already.  Refill kits are only available for current subscribers.

  • Sweet Candy Canes card; unique Christmas color combo


    Hey; I can add photos today!  Here's a project from my stamp a stack class we held last weekend.  

    It features the Sweet Candy Canes bundle seen here.  


    The colors are Real Red & Coastal Cabana.  I used the Timber 3D embossing folder for the background texture; stamping the leaves before embossing. 

    The greeting piece is a simple rectangle but I rounded the ends with a circle punch!
