Come In For A Spell - Miss Ink

Welcome back!  I have one more Halloween card for you this year!  I just had to create one with the new Welcome Home set from Miss Ink!

I created the background using the new Windmill stencil and the Ins and Outs: Hollywood stencil with blue and purple distress oxide ink and stamped and embossed the front door scene from Welcome Home over the top.  I splattered some water over the top and soaked up the extra.

Then I just added those adorable costumed critters and a sentiment along with a few sequins!

Thanks so much for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed it and have a fun holiday this weekend!  Come again soon!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - October 2021 Edition

Welcome back to this month's Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas!  Every 25th of the month, my fellow elves, Debra and Michael share the Christmas cards we created for the month!  And this month we have a special guest, Terri Albro Burson is joining us!  Be sure you visit them after you leave here to see what they've got for you!

Now!  Here's how I was inspired:

Some of you may or may not know, but my mom is a Close to My Heart Consultant and I love to see the new catalogs and (sometimes) even indulge and buy something.  When I saw these beautiful deer in the Holly and Ivy stamp set I knew I needed them!

I love the vintage look of these sweet deer!  I decided it was time to pull out my paper flowers  and create some bumpy cards for my Christmas stash.  I also used that cool frame also from CTMH, the Oval Frame Thin Cuts is perfect for this vintage feel!

All of my cards use a similar layout, but different papers and colors all from a Tim Holtz paper pack I picked up last year.

And I used all of the same Copic markers for each of them too... easy peasy!

Also, over at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers they’re having a Falling For The Holiday Hop with lots of inspiration and prizes!  Check it out and play along!

I used die cuts from Rubbernecker and A Jillian Vance Design as well as some paper flowers from my stash and crocheted flowers from a crafty friend in Australia.  It was so much fun working in this style again... lots of layers and flowers.

I can't pick a favorite ... they all are similar but have a different feel and I love them all!

The white crocheted flowers were from a bundle I purchased on Etsy.

And the deer are so easy to color because there is a lot of shading on the image.  I stamped them in a dark brown Memento ink because I knew I'd be coloring them with Copics.

Of course I have some plaid in here... I'm Mad4Plaid!

These will all definitely take some extra postage!   But I've gotten pretty good at figuring that out without going to the Post Office... I think... hope you'll all let me know if I'm wrong!!  I usually round up though so I should be good!

That's me!

Before you go let's see who won some Happy Mail from last month's post:
