Witching You... a Happy Halloween!!!

I made this card a few weeks ago and totally slacked off about getting it up on here. Well, sorta!!! I have a good excuse ;) I have somehow managed to lose my memory card to my camera. UGH! I have another camera so I finally broke down and used that instead. I figured I should post this since Halloween is coming up this Saturday and I have already started making Christmas cards which will be posted here soon! I used Bazzill swiss dot paper which I love in this deep purple color. I stamped the witches feet across the bottom and adhered the ribbon just above. I made up this purple paper flower combo which I totally LOVE and used a gemstone brad for the center. I was stuck on what to do for a title but my dear friend, Melanie, always has the answer!!! Luckily, I was at her house and she said "Witching you..." and that was just perfect! I had to wait until I got home to do the lettering since I didn't have any with me but I thought the silver sparkly ones went very well. The inside says "a Happy Halloween". Wishing you all a Happy Halloween in which you eat many mini chocolate bars! YUMMM!!! hehe

Boo!!!

I loved the little Maya Road chipboard house so much I had to do another one!!! I painted this one purple and stamped the web black then stickled the window and parts of the web in lime green. I embossed the tree from the CTMH Spellbound set black on black. I wasn't sure how it would look but I decided the answer is AWESOME!!! I used an exacto knife to cut along the bottom of each side of the tree so I could slide the piece of patterned paper underneath. The ghost is from Making Memories and they're just the cutest ever!!! I have to say I just kept giggling as I was making this. It came out exactly how I wanted and that doesn't happen to me often. See my post below! ;)

Ding, Dong! The witch is dead!!! HAHA

Hard to believe that October 1st is only a few days away!!! I've been seeing lots of Christmas cards posted lately on SCS and on everyone's blogs. I just can't go there yet so I thought I'd make some Halloween cards. My friend, Melanie, came over last Friday for a few hours and we got to play. I had already half made this the day before. I had gotten this little Spook Alley stamp set with the witches feet and I just had to do a Halloweeny Wizard of Oz card. I used to watch that movie on TV every year when I was little. I had these little chipboard houses by Maya Road and I was like "OMG, perfect!!!" I painted it black and stamped the web from the CTMH Creepy Cobwebs set in white. The little spider is from the same set and he's embossed with a black velvet marker and has rhinestone eyes (of course!). The web border punch was something I picked up at Michael's and the paper is from Basic Grey's Eerie collection. I have to admit that I messed up the bottom and I'm still not happy about it! I had punched the border out on front of the card and sponged it black so you could see the purple coming out behind it. Well, I adhered the patterned paper over part of the punched border and could not get it unstuck!!! I got pissed and cut off the border and then punched the back instead. I lost that extra effect and it looks kinda funny with the paper being all the way to the bottom but having a border on the top. UGH!!! The only thing I was completely happy with was my layered flower... but how could I screw that up? LOL I was having fun thinking of different sayings to go with this card like "You killed her..." on the front and "with your kindness" inside. I ended up with HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Original, huh? LOL
