Batty About YOU!

DSCN5396

 

Here's a super fun card that my Technique Tuesday stampers enjoyed making this month! The next Technique Tuesday stamping fun night is October 7th - pop me an email to join us!!!

 

DSCN5398

Here's a few details for you:

  • the leaves are from the Flower Frenzy Bigz die
  • I needed a background for my Smokey Slate layer...so I chose the Happy Haunting greeting stamp and inked it in Smokey Slate ink...I just stamped it at a diagonal all across this layer
  • my pumpkin was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink (of course!) and I colored the stem using a Mossy Meadow marker
  • The Fall Fest and Fun Fall Framelits Dies are the BOMB!!!!  

DSCN5401

 

  • The little bat is so stinkin' cute....just makes you smile...doesn't it?
  • I used the Owl Builder Punch combined with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch
  • The wings were punched with the Petite Pennants punch - you can see below that I just cut three scallop shapes out of the end to make it look like a bat wing
  • I used the tiny little heart shape from the Owl punch for the owl beak...just turn it up side down and tuck it in under the eyes
  • The squiggles on the eyes were drawn with the Project Life Journaling Pens - love them!!!
  • Last - I sponged some white craft ink on my bat to give it some dimension

The inside is stamped with the Frightful Wreath stamp set and another cute little pumpkin from Fall Fest!

We'll be playing with REINKERS - for a baby wipe technique - this is a favorite because the spash of fall is always a great combination!

Here are the Fall cards that you'll get to choose from...

DSCN5370

 

 

Here's the Die I used for the THANKS layer...a brand new one for me that I think I'm going to absolutely love!!!

Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 1.20.50 PM

I love the matching framelits for the Fall Fest stamp set...they are so fun! 

DSCN5373

 Isn't this pretty???  I love it and this is a perfect stamp to use for this technique.

DSCN5370

 

 

I put a baby wipe in the lid of one of my old cases and add REINKERS to fill up the amount of space that the stamp will need.  For this card I used Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey and Cajun Craze.

GREAT BIG Birthday!

DSCN5230

 I just had to share this adorable card with you - designed by Sarah Simon for a make-n-take at one of our TEAM meetings.

 

This card uses the BIG NEWS stamp set - one of my favorites (you can see it below) - I love the GIANT greetings in this set.  Sarah also used the new In-Colors sequins - on the tops of the candles.
