Happy Haunts Card by Amanda Bodine

A Fun Haunted Scene!

Don't be spooked by this fun Halloween scene! Amanda combined several of our Halloween products to create this spooky scene! For the background she used our Ghosts Stencil to create a sky full of ghostly haunts. Then she added a hill along the bottom using our Hills & Grass Stencil. Along the hill she stamped a series of gravestones and a big spooky tree from our Spooky Street Stamp Set. This makes the perfect setting for the fun kitty skeleton from our Spooky Skeletons Stamp Set! The kitty was stamped in black and cut out using the coordinating Spooky Skeletons Die Set. To finish the card, she added the "Happy Haunts" sentiment from the Spooky Street Stamp Set. All these fun products combine perfectly together to build this fun Halloween scene!

Thanks for the spooky card today, Amanda! To see more of her gorgeous coloring and projects, you can visit Amanda over at her blog,  RutabagaPie Designs! Make sure to say hello while you are there!

Birthday Wish Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Make a Wish! 

Today we have an adorable birthday card by Tatiana that is perfect for sending a sweet birthday wish! She started by coloring the kitty from our Newton's Antics Stamp Set in gray and adding dark gray stripes. She also stamped and colored a balloon from our Playful Pandas Stamp Set. Then she carefully fussy cut out the kitty and balloon to add to her card. She used our Essential Alphabet Die Set to cut out the letters to spell "wish" and used the kitty to in place of the letter "i". In the background she used our Clouds Stencil with light pink ink to create a soft clouds. The stitched rectangle panel was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set and she added a scalloped edge using our Sky Borders Die Set. This card is so sweet and pretty and would make anyone smile!

Bon Voyage Card by Nakaba Rager

Bon Voyage!

Today we are sharing an adorable kitty card by Naki! She was inspired by a set of bracelets to create this fun travel card! She used the sweet image of the kitty in the suitcases from our Stowaway Newton Stamp Set and colored it with gorgeous bright pastels. Isn't is so awesome how she added all those spots and trips to the kitty!? She cut the image out using the coordinating Stowaway Newton Die Set to add it to her card. She also added the "bon voyage" sentiment, die cut in gold. This sentiment is a bonus die cut that comes with the Stowaway Newton Die Set! She layered everything over a fun patterned paper with arrows and aded the "lets go on an adventure" sentiment in the lower left corner, embossing it in light blue on a piece of vellum! So lovely!
