Amuck!

 Hello, friends! I have been sharing cards made with new sets from Vera Lane Studio with images inspired by Hocus Pocus, and that's the focus of this post! I already shared my card with Winifred and my card with Mary, and today I am back with the final Sanderson sister--Sarah!

I used a box card set from The Stamps of Life for the main base of this creation, patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps, and a bunch of different dies to add details. The sentiment and main image are from the Sarah set from Vera Lane Studios.

This card will lay "flat" for shipping purposes, which I love! I think this turned out super fun, and I am glad to have now completed my Sanderson sister trio!

Christmas Elf w/ Conie Fong

  Hello, friends! I’m back to share some holiday cheer! In this post, I’m sharing a festive card featuring a darling image from the Conie Fong Etsy shop!

This image is called Candy Cane Boy Elf. You can get him on his own, or in a trio of darling elves! I added this sweetie to a card base created with patterned paper and washi tape, then added a die cut sentiment and some rhinestone stickers for some festive flair.

I also added some Stickles to the image for more texture and shine. I LOVE the way this card turned out!

Let Us Form a Calming Circle

 Hello, friends! I posted a few days ago that I had seen new sets at Vera Lane Studio with images inspired by Hocus Pocus, so of course I HAD to get these amazing sets! I already shared my card with Winifred, and today I am back with Mary!

I used a die set from The Stamps of Life for my card base and some of the layering pieces--specifically the ones on the "top". The BOO! sentiment is from Great Impressions and, unfortunately, not available anymore.

I used the Vera Lane Studio sentiment as the prop up for this easel card. The spider web pattern is from another Great Impressions stamp. The patterned papers I used are from Honeybee Stamps. I colored the image with alcohol markers before fussy cutting it and adding it to the front with dimensional foam.

I had a ton of fun making this card, and I love the way it turned out! For one of the challenges I am entering, I have to explain why I like either Halloween or Fairies better, and I chose this card to enter for that reason! I LOVE Halloween. It's a time of year when children get excited and you get to dress up as someone or something else. As a teacher, it is one of my absolute favorite times of the school year because of all the fall fun we can have! I do love fairies, but if they are in competition with Halloween, Halloween has to win. Also...it includes fairies, technically! ;) 

I am entering this creation into the following fabulous challenges~

As You Like It: Halloween or Fairies & WHY

CD Sunday Plus: Anything CD/USB/Digital

Crafting Happiness: Halloween

Make My Monday: Autumn Colors

It's Fall, Y'all!

  Hello, friends! I am back with another card for World Cardmaking Day! I recently found an adorable autumn image from The Paper Shelter, and I KNEW I had to make a card with it! Come take a peek...

I think this little gal is just too sweet! I knew as soon as I saw her that I would color her with autumn colors and surround her with die cuts!I also added some patterned paper that has a pierced border to echo the die cuts the image and framing layer.

I absolutely adored making this card, and I am super pleased with how it turned out! I think the colors are just perfect for fall, and the texture of the die cut leaves really helps finish this image off with an autumnal feel!

Today I’m sharing a fun holiday card with a *NEW* image from the Conie Fong Etsy shop! 

This sweet image is called Little Gift Girl Elf. I chose to make her super bright and cheerful for the upcoming holiday season! I added some patterned papers and ribbon from The Stamps of Life along with some bits of sparkle and die cuts to add to the fun feel.

Lovely Ladies with Conie Fong

 Hello, friends! It’s another day, and another card for me to share with you! I am so honored to be a Guest Designer for Conie Fong for the next couple of months, and this month we are sharing the lovely ladies from the Conie Fong Etsy shop! 

This sweet girl is named Susie Sunshine, and she is delivering her light to others everyday for any occasion! I colored her with my Ohuhu alcohol markers, then added her to a panel with two patterns of paper, a doily, some glitter gems, and a punched out sentiment. 

I adore floral papers and tend to use them more than other patterns, and the blooms she is carrying called for floral paper in the background! I made her a red-head in honor of one of my favorite literary heroines, Anne of Green Gables.
