Just some lines and sparkles

 So yesterday I saw a card on FB that I thought was so pretty and wanted to CASE it.  Only one problem.... I didn't have the die that was used on the card.  I sent a picture of the card to a crafting buddy and told her my dilemma.  To which she replied, 'what die?  I just see lines and sparkles'.


This card is nothing like the card I saw on FB.  Instead of using a die for the background I just got out a pen, a ruler, and some remains of a sheet of Dazzles.  Who needs the die?


For Count Dracula I used a very old InkaDinkaCling Rubber stamp from my stash.  The image is paper pieced.  I wish you could see the shine and texture on the cape.  The sentiment stamp is from CTMH.


This card was made with the intent of entering it in the current Double Trouble Challenge # 149 

Scrappers Trick and Treat

 

 Additional challenges I am entering:

Park Hopping, My Happy Place  October Challenge - Inspired by a Theme Park

Crafting Happiness Challenge #147 - Halloween

Spiders are insects, right?

 This week the Double Trouble Challenge #146 theme

is Something, Anything, and Everything.

(aka Anything Goes)

 

I whipped up a Halloween card 

to add to my SAS4Kids donation box,


using the current sketch from the

Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #622,

which I am also entering.

 

Using washi tape for the stripes made the card super easy.  The stamps are from CTMH.  The tiny spiders were heat embossed using some Ranger black sparkle ep and then fussy cut. 

DTC #146 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" - FRI AUG 28TH - SUN, SEP 3RD 

 

Wishing you a lovely day, without spiders.

Thanks for visiting.

Scrappers' GORP

 Instead of what most people consider normal trail mix, often referred to as GORP,  Double Trouble Challenge is encouraging crafters to combine items in their stash to make Scrapper's Gorp and use it on their cards. 

 

 

I was checking on things in my Fall/Halloween stash for another project and decided I had plenty of GORP with which to work right there.   The scrap of pumpkin paper was perfect to start building my card.  Dotted pumpkins, striped pumpkins, solid pumpkins, that works.  

 

From there I just added a bit of diamond patterned paper, according to the sketch supplied by Try It On Tuesday Challenge.  The framed sentiment and spider are old CTMH stamps.  The shaped label is a cut from the CTMH Artiste cartridge.   And I used 2 different embossing folders for double patterns on the background. 

Now I'm going to submit it to:

Double Trouble Challenge #145 

 (see details on the graphic above)

Halloween Rosey

Halloween Cuteness is the challenge theme at 

Double Trouble Challenge # 95.

This Halloween card uses a cute digital image from 

Fred She Said called Halloween Rosey.

(I used the precolored version of the digi, SU die cuts and CTMH sentiment.)

I thought this would be a 
"cheerful and cute approach" to Halloween

as requested by Troublemaker at the Double Dare Challenge.  For Twisted Sister there is a strip of washi tape across the bottom of the card and also under the sentiment.  And Double Dare will be pleased to see that I am also entering the Halloween Fun Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #530.

Thanks for visiting.

Why have I never used this stamp?

 It is amazing what gets buried in our stashes.  Last evening, while searching for a certain stamp, which I eventually did find, I came across this one by Stampendous.

I followed the TMS for this week, 


colored the image and white pearls with markers, added 3 strips of washi tape and a bow using some fun ribbon from DL.Art.  The sentiment is from CTMH.

Challenges:

DL.Art Thankful Thursday Challenge #270 - Pumpkin (I hope my pumpkin person counts.); Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #212 - Halloween Colors; Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge - Purple, Orange, Green, EEK! It's Halloween; Show Us Your Pussycats Challenge #59 - Meowloween; Through the Craft Room Door Week of October 20th - AG; The Artsy Stamper Challenge #26 - Halloween Colors; Coloring in Scrapland October Challenge - Happy Halloween

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #574

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches
Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card
to share with you each week for

Here's the sketch for this week and my card.

 
I'm not exactly sure why I am making Halloween cards.  I generally don't send them out.  Anyone need some Halloween cards?  
I do think they are fun to make and 
I have some great papers and stamps to use.
These papers and the Halloween sentiment are from CTMH.
The spider is an Inkadinkado stamp.  I stamped and heat embossed the image, black on black.  The background is dry embossed.
 
 I hope you'll play along at
this week. 
The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.
