Chills and Thrills Card

Where did today go? All day I wanted to get this post up… but at least I’m getting to it now! This is a Halloween card I made for a friend of mine that recently moved.

It’s nice and creepy… just how I like my Halloween cards to be! Please click on the image to see the card bigger. The detail in the stamps is really cool!

The skull and spider swirl stamps are from Inkadinkado. The title is from Cosmo Cricket. I embossed the skull in a metallic purple, and rubbed to shades of purple on the edge of my grey paper (which is from Provo Craft). I also threw a little Black Soot Distress Ink (Ranger), around the edge of the card itself.

Seriously, how freakin’ rad is this stamp??? I am so in love with it! And I am IMG_7710really happy that I got the embossing powder to bubble a bit, instead of smoothing out. I think it makes it look a bit creepier.

Now I HATE spiders. Tremendously. Yeah, their good for eating mosquitoes and what out, but they just freak me out. We all have our things… spiders are mine. But these spiders…in this stamp… so cool! This is from a set called Halloween Trails. I’m telling you, if you like this stamp, then you NEED this set! The rest of the stamps are even cooler than this one!

Whew! Another card off of my to-do list. 27 more to go!!! Ok, maybe not 27… but there are a lot! Happy Freaky Friday everyone!!!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga
