Halloween Cards

Another card with stamps from Artistic Outpost.  The glitter made it difficult to photograph.  I really need to learn Photoshop!

           Happy Halloween, 
                  Everyone! 

Halloween stamps for this card from Artistic Outpost.  The French cherub background is an oldie; don't remember the company.

Tag with Artistic Outpost stamps.


























The cards above and below were made with Oxford Impressions stamps. 

Halloween Vignettes from My Kitchen

Halloween is one of my favorite--if not my favorite--holiday.  I love the colors, the smells, the adorable kids, and the creativity!  Not to mention the excitement in the air and the sense of community that Trick-or-Treating night brings to my neighborhood.  A whole group of adults making sure that kids have fun, fun, fun!  What could be better than that?

I made the banner and the two silhouette plaques.

The candle wraps were made with Stampin' Up! wheel stamps that I detached and the tag and matching card were made with stamps from Oxford Impressions.  My new friend, Lisa, made the card with the green background.  (Thanks, Lisa, I LOVE your card!)

My kitchen mascot loves celebrating each season with me.  Didn't make one darn thing in this vignette, but did put a reprinted Halloween card in a nice old frame.  Love the "punkinhead" girl with her baby.  Une petite jolie!

Do you decorate for Halloween? If you have decorations that aren't bloody or gory or super scary, I would love for you to link up this week to my Inspired Sunday blog party!

Sunday Showcase

I wanted this to look like a quilt folded back to reveal a lace sheet.  The lace and sentiment are secured to the inner part of the card and only the flap lifts.

Miscellany

I love this card with the multiple layers of embossing.  The French stamp with cherubs in pink ink is one of my favorites.  I bought it in Lock Port New York on one of the best family vacations we ever took.  Great stamp and great memories!

Second Cover of The Stamper's Sampler

A Stamper's Sampler arrived in the mail one day.  They had a few pieces of mine, but I had no clue what would be in the magazine.  What a surprise to find one of my favorite pieces, the boy in the tent, on the cover!  They always keep me guessing!

Aug/Sept 2009 Halloween Card in The Stamper's Sampler

 

My "Boo" card made it into the Halloween section!  But the bat card didn't.  : (

Oct/Nov 2008 Stamper's Sampler Submission

These happy sunflowers were made with the PSX sunflower stamp on a busy background paper.  The script background is from Stampin' Up.

Here's the original card.
