Trick or Treat!


Hi, friends!  It's been a long time since I stopped to create just because, but I had a fun idea and needed to roll with it!  It ended up as a funky Halloween tag--take a peek!


I started by recoloring the image from the Pumpkin Jack digital stamp set from MHKDesigns.  I then printed it onto white cardstock, colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers, and fussy cut it out.  I added some glitter, leaves punched from the Trick or Treat digital paper pack, and a sweet tiny flower handmade and sent to me by my friend Cohenna!


I added some torn black cardstock, a patterned paper banner made from paper from the Twinkle Twinkle Little Dots digital paper pack, another strip of paper from the Trick or Treat digital paper pack, and a sentiment from the Halloween Party digital stamp set.  I chose to keep the edges clean so that the different colors would POP!


Some white seam binding ribbon, black and white baker's twine, and a purple button finish off this fun tag.  I really adore the way it turned out, and I hope you like it, too!  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


Thanks for stopping by today, friends!  That's all I have for now, but I'll be back soon with more paper crafted projects to share. :)  I hope you all have a Happy Halloween on Monday, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping! :)

MHKDesigns: October/November Challenge


Hello, everyone!  I am back today with another card for our new challenge over at MHKDesigns!  We have a lovely monochrome holiday photo/color inspiration for you this month, and I can't wait to see what you create with it!  Take a look at the inspiration...


And here's my take on this challenge~

I watercolored the image from the *NEW* Wonderful Wreath set then added a sentiment from the Fruit Borders set over the top on vellum.  A few gold rhinestones add more shine.


I gussied up the card base with some paper from the Deck the Halls paper pack, then added a doily and some fun felt ribbon to the top.  I rounded the corners of this card to mirror the roundness of the wreath and sequins, as well.  I love this card, and hope you agree that it's lovely!  I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the comments below! :)


Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you hop over to join in our monthly challenge at MHKDesigns!  There are prizes for each one, and you can use any products you'd like! :) Don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on this wonderful DT, too!

MHKDesigns: New Year Greetings


Hello, friends!  It is time for another release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, and I have some super fun sets and papers coming your way!  There are a few "anytime" sets, and we're also looking ahead to a few winter holidays this month!  I hope you grab them for your stash!  Today we are featuring the *NEW*...


Nothing says "NEW YEAR" to me like confetti--so I decided to pair this set with some paper from the Twinkle Twinkle Little Dots paper pack.  Take a peek at my card...


I watercolored the image from the *NEW* New Year Greetings set, then added some texture and sparkle with some glitter gel pen.  I kept the colors frosty, with just a hint of red. :)


I added some punched and layered snowflakes, washi tapes, rhienstones, enamel dots, and a banner sentiment from the *NEW* New Year Greetings set to finish this card off.  I think this is super festive and fun, and hope you agree!  Please leave a comment below to let me know your thoughts! :)
