Happy Halloween Freaky Friends!!!

 

Happy Halloween and thanks for stopping by!  Today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, we are celebrating Halloween!  Some design team members may have tricks and some may have treats!  May sure you stop by to visit each to see which they have!

 

Today my project is a treat!  I made these cute little twisted cards, perfect for sliding a gift card or some cash inside.  I have two boys who love I-Tunes for their music and games.  Therefore they each will be getting an I-Tunes gift card in their pocket with a burlap treat bag filled with some candy treats (courteous of My Paper Pumpkin September kit!)

Ink ~ basic black, tangerine tango, Bermuda bay

Stocking Gift Card Holder with Merry Monday #132

Todays post is one totally for fun!  I mean not only am I using Stampin' Up! brand supplies, but I am playing around some fun retired products that I still love.  The project is for the challenge over at Merry Monday Christmas!  They really have some fun themed challenged, and like playing along when I get the chance.  This one, however, I couldn't pass up.

The other fun part, is that I challenged my good friend, Breelin Renwick at Craft-somnia Momma to play along with me.  Make sure you go visit her, to see what she created!

 

I have three favorite retired items that I am using.  Number 1 is the stocking big shot die.  Number 2 is the lattice embossing folder.  Number 3 is the festive flurry stamp set and matching framelit set.  My mother loves antique and vintage looking things, so this is perfect to slide her gift card in for one of her Christmas gifts.  Yes, I said gift card holder.  You see when you lift the stocking top up, there is a pocket that you can slide a gift card in.  My plan is to attach it like a tag to the outside of her other wrapped package.  I love everything about my stocking, but I real fun element, is the little mini punched stars that dangle on natural twine from the large snowflake cluster.

I stamped the snowflake in baked brown sugar ink, and cut out a champagne glitter snowflake to layer in behind.  I also stamped the sentiment of "merry and bright" from the Good Greetings stamp set.

Halloween Challenge CYCI#42

Thanks for joining me here today at Ink a Doodle Creations.  Today I am over at Can You Case It? and this weeks challenge is a Halloween one!  Did I say, I love Halloween?  Its such a fun holiday and its the one day I eat as much chocolate and candy as I want, and don't feel bad!!

 

 

This fun little spooky card was created using the inky block technique.  I also went with a different sized card.  I cut out my rectangle shapes, rounded the corners and inked up my blocks, spritzed with a little bit of water and stamped it on.  I used colors of tangerine tango, old olive and rich razzleberry.  Directions for this card are below.

 

 

On the inside, I inked up a layer and added a bat.

 

Directions:

card base is a 6-1/2" square.  I scored it at 3-1/4" and folded.

Inked layers measure: 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" with corners rounded.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ very vanilla, old olive

Ink ~ tangerine tango, old olive, rich razzleberry, basic black
