Just Us Girls #843 - Die Week

Welcome to October!  Carol has the perfect Die Week challenge for us this week at Just Us Girls.

You need to use a Halloween die on your card, not just make a Halloween card with a die cut on it. 

 

The dies from Tim Holtz Frightful Things were cut from white and colored with Altenew artist markers, except for the web which is cut from shimmer paper.  The background was splattered with SB Lime Zest and black.  Striped paper at the bottom and a PTI sentiment finish it off.  

The Design Team will have some scary/funny/crazy Halloween cards to inspire you so please take a look and then join us for the challenge.

Time Out #323 - Pick Two

It's October 1 and time for another Pick Two challenge at Time Out.

 

I made an interactive card using basket, apple and gingham.

 

The dies are from C9's Freshly Picked.  The apples were cut from a variety of scraps and one was stamped with "Pick Me".  The layered basket is cut from an old pack of Core'dinations cardstock which explains the texture.  The gingham was in my Bits Box, something I stamped at Michele's so many years ago I'm ashamed to admit it. 

This is what you get when you "pick me".

I hope you'll join me and the Design Team in picking two for this challenge.

The Paper Players #805

Jaydee's sketch at The Paper Players gives you a chance to break out some of those patterned papers you've been hoarding.  

Actually mine are new since I took advantage of a sale on Honey Bee paper packs.  I was looking for a specific one but couldn't resist a few others.  Like I need more paper.  LOL   This pack is called Spooktacular and I used three pieces from it to show off my little bird ghost from Unity Stamps. The sentiment is from the same set.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Krafty Chicks #839

It's a masculine challenge at Krafty Chicks and I finally made a card I've been wanting to do for a while.

I picked a light teal color and cut six of MFT's Hooray die from it, then stacked them with another cut, before arranging them on the same color card front.  The sentiment from Altenew was stamped in black, trimmed and stacked.

Freshly Made Sketches #755

Donna's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches had me thinking and going through my stamps/dies until I landed on one I thought would work best.

It may be a little out of proportion and there is no sentiment but the rest is what the sketch calls for.  The background is embossed with Crackle Paint from SB on the top and Honey Bee's Rustic Brick Wall on the bottom which gave me a great place to hang my Altenew Houseplants.
