spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another Halloween card to share with you. It's one made with a few scraps. It was a happy accident. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the  "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package and taped it to the front of the card.

The little squares were added next. The DSP was leftover pieces from a previous card. I'm not sure which one but I think it was one that had strips of DSP. These squares of DSP measure 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" and the Basic Black squares measure 1-1/2" x 1-1/2".  I taped the pieces together. Then I set them in place on the front of the card. I added the top and bottom one first. They are about 1/4" from the top edge, bottom edge and fold. They were taped in place. The center one was set in place using Dimensionals.

The little character is from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle and was stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut it out using the matching die. He was colored using both light and dark Blends pens. I used Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight. And for the pants I sued Petunia Pop and my Blending pen because I didn't by the in color Blends pens. I set the piece in place using Dimensinals.

The words were stamped next. They are from the same "Spooky Halloween" bundle. I used black Memento ink to stamp them.

I had also cut a Basic Black bat using the die from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle. I set it in place using Dimensionals.

The bat needed a bit of sparkle so I colored over it with my Wink of Stella pen. I also colored the lollypop and shirt.  I thought it could use a little more sparkle so I colored over the DSP on each square. 

This was a fun card to make and SO easy too.

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Gray card stock and textured it using the "So Swirly" embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card.

Next I cut a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and scrubbed on some color using my Blending brush and ink pads. First I took the second smallest circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set and cut a circle from the center of a scrap piece of card stock. 

I used removable tape and set the circle where I wanted the moon to go. I scrubbed on some Pumpkin Pie ink. Then I scrubbed on some Mossy Meadow on the "grassy" area. And using that piece I cut the circle from, I laid it over the moon so only the moon was showing and I scrubbed on some Daffodil Delight ink. Then I took the same brush with the Pumpkin Pie ink on it and without adding more ink I scrubbed it over the moon to tone it down a bit.

Then I die cut the fence, house and bat using Basic Black card stock. I set them aside.

The cat was stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. I colored it in using my light Blends pens in Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Pecan Pie and Granny Apple Green. Then I die cut it with the matching die in the "Spooky Halloween" bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set aside. 

I cut the fence in half. I glued one piece to the right, then the house and then the other half of the fence. 

I stamped the "Spooky" from the same bundle using black Memento ink. 

The piece was then glued to the Basic Gray piece about 3/8" from the bottom and right of the Basic Gray piece.

The cat was then set in place. I added the bat using a small Dimensional. 

Using my Wink of Stella I colored the bat, the hat and the treat bucket.  And the card was done.

This was such a fun card and it did not allow me to use one single piece of Designer Series Paper from my package to help fulfill my goal of using up all the pieces in the package. UGH!  Maybe tomorrow!

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun layered Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. On top of that are some fun layered strips. They are made using scrap Designer Series Paper (DSP) pieces from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package. The two strips on the side measure 3-3/4" x 1-1/4" and the center piece measures 3-3/4" x 1-3/4". The Basic Black layers behind the little strips measure 4" x 1-1/2" and the larger piece measures 4" x 2". I taped the pieces together and then I taped them to the front of the card. I started with the two smaller strips and when I got them in place I added the middle piece. I like to lay them on the piece without tape first to make sure how much space I need to add to them. There should be 1/4" between the strips and 1/4" from the edges.

Once the strips were in place I die cut the house, fence and bat. I took a piece of Lemon Lolly card stock and after trimming it a bit I taped it to the back of the house. Dimensionals were added to the back of the house and I set it aside.

The dog from the "Spooky Halloween" was stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I colored him in using both light and dark Blends pens. I used Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and for the pants I used my Blending pen and Petunia Pop ink since I don't have the Blends pens in the in colors. I die cut the dog, added Dimensionals to the back and set it aside.

The words are from the same "Spooky Halloween" and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of DSP.  The piece measured 1-1/4" x 2-1/4". The Basic Black layer behind it measures 1-1/2" x 2-1/2". I taped the two layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back.

I was now ready to assemble it. I added the house first about 7/8" from the bottom edge and 1/2" from the left side. The fence was glued in place and then the character was added/

The words were added last. I fit them in between the house and dog with just enough space so they wouldn't all be touching. 

The bat was glued to the word piece. I thought the card was done but I just had to add some Wink of Stella to the lollypop, house windows and the bat.

This was a very fun card to make. It's getting me closer to my goal of using up that package of DSP. There's lots of scraps in there too!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Painterly Pears, Impressions Abloom, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I thought I'd take a little break from Halloween cards (though I do need to make more) and make a friendship card. I found it on Pinterest and I thought I'd give it a try with the materials I had. It's not exactly like the original card but it's still pretty. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Painterly Pears" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card.

Next using the oval die from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle, I cut it from another piece of DSP from the same package. I taped that to the front of the card. I centered it on the sides and left the bottom area a little longer. The top is about 5/8" from the top edge and about 5/8" from each side.

The pear and pink flowers are from another sheet in the same package of DSP.  I fussy cut them because I didn't buy the bundle, just the DSP.

The leaves are from the "Impressions Abloom" and were cut using Basic White for the smaller ones and Mossy Meadow for the ones on a stem.  

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Versa Mark on a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. I sprinkled white embossing powder over it and heat set it. Then I cut it out using the smallest die in the "Nested Essentials" die set.

I taped the word piece down first. It's about 1-1/4" from the bottom of the card edge and 1/4" from the right side. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the pear and it was lightly set in place on the front of the card. I did not press down on it because I needed to slip the leaves under it. 

A little glue was added to the ends of the leaves and they were slipped under the pear. The Mossy Meadow stem on the right had the end of the stem and last leaf cut off, it was just too long to fit on the card the way I had the pear set. But I did use that leaf on the bottom part of the pear on top of the two little white leaves. 

I had fussy cut the pretty Petal Pink flower cluster from another piece of DSP and set in place on the card, tucking a little bit of it under the pear. I did add Dimensionals under the flowers that were showing.

I added a little bit of glue to the end of the pear stem and little Dimensionals under the two leaves and I set it in place on top of the pear.

I had some retired "Candy Dots" and I set them in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun, quick and easy card to make. It had a little bit of fussy cutting but I didn't mind it because there was something fun on tv to watch so it makes fussy cutting go by faster!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super easy Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I used a piece of scrap Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooky Sweets" 12" x 12" package. It measures 2-1/2" x 5". I taped it to a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock that measures 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" and then I taped that to the front of the card about 1/4" from the top, bottom and fold.

The white piece is cut from a sheet in the same package of DSP. I snipped the corners. A bottle from that same package was popped out and taped to the white piece. The spider piece was another one that was popped out. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the bottle. Dimensionals were added to the back of the white piece and it was set aside.

The words are from the "Spooky Halloween"  bundle and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. I trimmed the piece to measure 2-3/8" x 1-1/8". The Pumpkin Pie layer was cut at 2-1/2" x 1-3/8".  I taped the two pieces together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place at the top of the card. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it.

The white piece was added next, it's about 3/8" up from the bottom edge and 1/4" from the right edge

I die cut three Basic Black bats using the die in the "Spooky Halloween" bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set in place using Dimensionals. 

I added some Wink of Stella to the bats and to the spider and the card was done.

This was such a quick and easy card to make and I got to use a large scrap piece of DSP in my quest to use up that package. (Bound and determined!!! - wish me luck!).

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another fun Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock and stamped the bats on it from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle. I used black Memento in to do that and I just randomly stamped them all over the piece. I taped that piece to the front of the card base.

I had two scrap pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package. They measured 4" x 1-1/2" and the Basic Black layer behind it measures 4-1'4" x 1-3/4". I taped the pieces together. I taped the left one to the front of the card on first. It's about 1/4" from the top and from the fold. 

The second strip was taped down about 1" down from the top and 1-1/4" from the fold. 

I popped out the cauldron from a fun sheet in the DSP package. I also popped out the candy corns and bats. 

Using my x-acto knife I cut a slit in the cauldron and taped the candy corns in place. I added Dimensionals to the cauldron and set it in place on the front of the card. It's about 3/4" from the bottom edge of the card and 3/4" from the right side. Once the cauldron was set in place I added a candy corn to the bottom right using a Dimensional.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the bats and they were set in place.

The word is from the same "Spooky Halloween" bundle and was stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I fussy cut it, added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the upper part of the card. And the card was done.

This was a very fun card to make. It's quick and easy too!

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another Halloween card to share with you. I'm on a quest to use up that 12" x 12" Spooky Sweet package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I think it would be a first! It would probably get used up faster if I made more than one of each card I do. Anyway, read on to see how I made this card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of the DSP and taped it to the front of the card.

I was thrilled when I was able to use one of those tags that came on a sheet in the package. There's LOTS of tags in there and I thought they would be something that would probably just remain in the package with the rest of the scraps.  I took the green on with the two candies and cut a Basic Black layer for it. My layer measures 2-1/4" x 2-2/4".  I taped the two pieces together and set them aside.

I decided to use the cat image from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle for a change. I used the dog a lot and will probably use it a bit more since I had stamped and cut a few out the last time I used it.  I used my light Blends pens to color it in. I used Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Berry Burst. Once the character was colored I added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the green rectangle piece.

The piece was laid on top of the card to see where the words were going to go. Normally I would stamp the words before taping the DSP down but I thought I was going to stamp the words on a separate piece of card stock and add them but I decided to stamp directly onto the DSP. The words are from the same "Spooky Halloween" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink.  Then I taped that piece to the upper left of the card about 1/4" from the fold and the top edge. 

I wasn't sure what to do about the right side until I remembered there is a bat die in the bundle. SO I die cut them and used 3 for my card. I set them in place using Dimensionals. 

The card needed something more so I took my Wink of Stella pen and colored everything black on the card, including going over the words and black candies. It was a nice touch and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make. The kiddies will think it's cute too!

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how I made it.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

On the front I taped a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package. 

Inside that same package is a sheet (2 sheets) full of precut images. Just pop them out and use them. I popped out quite a few for my card.

Once the characters were added using Dimensionals, I colored them with Wink of Stella. I felt the card could use some sparkle. I even added it to the ghosts.

I stamped "Happy Halloween" on the inside using black Memento ink. The words are from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle.

This is such a super quick and easy card to make. I got to use a lot of pieces from that sheet.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Floral Charm, Impressions Abloom, Get Well Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that used scraps sitting around on my worktable. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

The top piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Floral Charm" 12" x 12" package. It measures 2" x 5-1/4". So that left me 2" on the bottom to fill so I took a piece of Basic White card stock cut 2" x 5-1/4" and I textured it using the "Damask Design" embossing folder. I taped the DSP in place and glued the textured piece in place.

The floral panel was another piece in the package, it measures 4" x 2-3/4".  I taped it to a 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock. It was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I centered it as well as I could by eyeing it. 

The words were done on my computer. That piece was sitting on my worktable. I thought I'd use it before it got damaged. I believe it was cut out using the "Spotlight on Nature" dies. It was a while ago that I had cut them but I'm positive that was the set used. I set them in place using Dimentionals on the upper part of the circle where it would be touching the DSP. 

I thought the card could use something else so I die cut a Basic White and Mossy Meadow leaves from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle. I taped the two together at the bottom stems, added a little glue and slipped them under the word piece.

It was nice to use up things sitting on my worktable and scraps! This is a very simple layout too. I hope to use it again on future cards.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's get well card,

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside of the card.

Next I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package and taped it to the front on the card.

On top of that is a 3-5/8" x 4-7/8" piece of Basic Black card stock and on top of that is another piece of DSP that measures 3-1/2" x 4-3/4".  

The three strips of DSP measure 1" x 2-1/2" and the DSP panel below the strips measures 1-7/8" x 3-1/4".  I taped the strips in place and the panel was set aside. It needed words but I needed to know where I was going to put them and that depended on the characters I was going to add.

I die cut the house from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle using Basic Black card stock. I also cut one of Basic White card stock because I wanted to color the windows in. I was able to leave the 6 little windows in the die. I colored them right in the die using my dark Highland Heather Blends pen. I traced the house on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock and trimmed most of it away. I glued it to the back of the house. I put a little puddle of glue on a scrap piece of paper. I took a toothpick and touched it to the glue and then touched it to the 6 little windows. I set the die on top of the Basic Black house and pushed the little windows in place. I had some other pieces still stuck in the die and I had colored them and glued them in place too. Some of the edges of the little windows had to be touched up but once on the black house the marker didn't show up if it touched the edges. Once all the pieces were in place I added Dimensionals to the back and set it aside. 

The character from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle was stamped using black Memento ink and colored in using both light and dark Blends pens. I used Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie and Petunia Pop.  Actually I didn't use Petunia Pop because I don't purchase the in-colors pens. I used my ink pad and a Blender pen. Dimensionals were added behind the character and it was laid on top of the card to see where the words would go.

The words are from the same "Spooky Halloween" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on the gray panel. The panel was then taped in place. 

I set the house in place first. The highest roof is about 3/4" from the top edge of the card and about 1/2" from the fold on the side roof that's sticking out. 

The character was added next and I thought the card was done. So I die cut a black bat and set it in place using a small Dimensional and the card was complete.

This was a very fun card to make. When I stamped the character, there was room for 4 images on my piece of card stock so I stamped and cut out 4. And as I colored the one I colored the other three so they are ready for future cards. I like the colors used on the character so I think it will be fun to use it on other cards. And now they are all ready to be added to a new card!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

The Right Words, Beautiful Gallery, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog.  While looking through my 6" x 6" stacks of Designer Series Papers (DSP) I ran across an image that had been cut in half. I had used the other half in a card a while back but saved this half for a future card. And today I thought I'd use up that piece so it's out of the stack. Now what to do with it.

I used the 5th largest die in the "Everyday Arches" set to cut the image out. It barely fit. The image is from the "Beautiful Gallery" stack. I stamped the words from "The Right Words" set using Early Expresso ink. Then I used the 4th largest die to cut the Early Expresso layer out. I taped the two pieces together.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Early Expresso card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Beige card stock and textured it using the "Damask Design" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Beige was cut and taped to the inside.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the arched layers and it was set in place on the center of the card. I just eyed it. I figure if it looks centered to my eyes, it's close enough! 

I had some (retired) Candy Dots that I set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was such a quick and easy card to make. The font on the words was just perfect for the image, it just seemed to fit.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I thought it was such a cute card and it has SO many layers and you all know I love layers! Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside of the card.

The layers are as follows. The Pumpkin Pie one measures 4" x 5-1/4". The Daffodil Delight one measures 3-3/4" x 5" and the Petunia Pop one measures 3-1/2" x 4-3/4".  Before taping them together I cut the moon out using a 1-5/8" circle die.  I stamped the bats from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle. I set the moon aside. Once the layers were taped together I taped them to the front of the card.

Next I gathered all the pieces from the Designer Series Paper (DSP) package that I would need. They are from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package. I was thrilled that the card used a couple of pieces that I had no idea what to do with, especially the black ribbon end piece. That piece was trimmed close to the white lines. I tried to do it on my paper cutter but ended up fussy cutting it. And the white piece behind the character was trimmed at the upper corners.

A piece of DSP was cut at 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" and taped to the Petunia Pop piece. It's about 7/8" from the top edge of the Petunia Pop piece. Next I taped the ribbon piece down. It's about 1/4" from the left edge.

The white piece that was snipped at the corners was added next. It just barely covers the white line on the right of the strip and it lines up with the top edge of the DSP.

A fence was cut from a die in the "Spooky Halloween" bundle using Basic Black card stock. I glued it to the front of the card about 1/4" up and 1/4" over from the right and bottom edges of the Petunia Pop piece.

The moon was glued on next.

The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Petunia Pop. Though I think you could stamp them in the center of the large layer and get by with it not showing. I cut them out using the second smallest die in the "Countryside Corners" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place above the white piece and about 1/4" from the Petunia Pop edge.

The character was stamped using black Memento ink and cut out using the matching die in the bundle. I also stamped and cut out the pumpkin. I colored the character using Blends pens. I used both light and dark in the following colors, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Petunia Pop. Dimensionals were added to the back of the character and the pumpkin and they were set in place on the front of the card. 

I didn't have the stars on the left like the ones used on the original card so I took out some glow in the dark bats I had (retired) and set three of them on the card.  And the card was done.

It's just too darn cute! It's SO colorful too! Now can you see why I just had to make it? I'm anxious to see how bright the bats glow!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I changed it a little. There were no measurements in the video that was linked to the original pic so I had to guess.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the inside. And a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Smoky Slate card stock for the layer on the outside.

On the Smoky Slate piece I stamped the bats from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle using black Memento ink. And using Smoky Slate ink I stamped the star looking images. Then I taped that to the card base. 

Next I cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooky Sweet" 12" x 12" package. This is a super fun package of adorable Halloween themed papers. My piece of DSP measures 3" x 2-1/2".  The Basic Black layer behind the DSP measures 3-1/8" x 2-5/8". Before taping the two pieces together I cut the house from the center of the Basic Black piece. 

The house die is from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle and after cutting I added a piece of custom cut Lemon Lolly card stock and glued it to the back of the house to make it look like the lights are on.  Yup, every light in the house!!

I added Wink of Stella to the roofs on the house and then set the house in place on top of the DSP using Dimensionals.

The DSP was then taped to the Basic Black layer. Dimensionals were added to the back and the house was set in place on top of the DSP layer. Then Dimensionals were added to the back of that and set aside.

I set the piece on top of the front of the card to see where to add the words. The words are from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink.

I had some stars from a package that now has no name on it. They are in different colors so I took my dark black Blends pen and colored it and set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I just LOVE that DSP, it's too stinkin' cute!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Sentimental Framing, Florals in Bloom, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you. Please read on to se how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured  it using the "Exposed Brick embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card.

Next I cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Florals in Bloom" 12" x 12" package. The piece on the right was cut at 2-3/4" x 2-1/2".  The Pumpkin Pie layer behind it measures 3" x 2-3/4".  The strip on the right is the backside of the DSP and was cut at 2" x 4-1/4".  I taped the DSP to the card stock. 

I glued the long strip in place on the left and then I glued the other one on top.

The words are from the "Sentimental Framing" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink. I cut them out using the second largest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

I took a sticker from the "Memories in Bloom" sticker sheet and affixed it to the top of the word circle. I added a small pearl to the center of the flower and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I like the colors of the DSP too.

Thank you SO very much for taking you time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
