Spoopy cards!

These cute little Mummies are obviously from Unity, I am  starting to think I don't own any other stamps.

  I used distress ink over a cute little line stencil from Gina Marie Designs. I then used  distress paper that matches for the matt.  I added a little sentiment from Taylored expressions.   Added a bat from Tim's sizzix line and done.  Super quick super easy super spoopy! 

Be sure to stop by this coming saturday as it is our BLOG hop from Friends of Unity.   WInk wink there will be a few giveaways. 

Gina K wreath builder and Unity stamps

I'll admit it, I am a huge fan of red rubber, I am not a huge fan of Clear stamps.  I have them I buy them I use them, but I don't feel like you get the same impression as you do with red rubber.  And all red rubber is not created equal.  I truly love Unitys red rubber.  I have stamps I like from other companies that are red rubber but they are really not the same.  There is something about good quality red rubber.

That being said, when Gina K, (who's products I love) teamed up with Unity for some wreath builder supplies, I jumped on board.  I really feel like These stamps can lend really well to masculine cards as seen below, this also works well for fall.   I really like the color combo of this.  I used distress oxides for the ink.  I am looking into getting some new ink and I'm leaning towards GIna K's line of inks.

I used this set HERE, for the sentiments.  It is perfect for this card.  You can find the wreath builder HERE I used tim holtz paper for the matt.  those papers are muted colors and work really well for Masculine cards or when you want darker colors.

Thanks for stopping by,

Friends of Unity, October Blog hop!

HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY, I HOPE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET CRAFTY TODAY. 

Okay, now onto these projects.

I am a huge Tim Holtz fan,  I dug into my altered creative side to come up with this one.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  Sometimes it's hard to believe we create from just plain paper. 

For this card I used the steel ruled die, Tattered leaves Item #656972 and cut from canson water color paper.  I embossed it with the wood grain 3D folder, I then colored it with  three distress oxide sprays.  I wound up using Mustard seed, Candied apple red and Mowed lawn.  I'll be honest at first it was looking like the Italian flag, be patient when using the sprays, and spritz a little water to get things moving.   I colored the UNITY girls sweater and hair with ZIG markers, and distress marker for the skin.  For the final project is sprayed with distress mica spray.  I love that stuff and use it a lot,   The edges are distressed with espresso distress ink and so is the sentiment.   I added a few enamel dots from Gina Marie designs.  and there you have it. 

For the Unity girl, I used the kit  She never says never  that you can find HERE.She is really large, and the sentiments that come with her are amazing.   The sentiment is from a smaller kit called  Bravely Change, you can find it HERE!

Here  is a close up so you can see a little better.  I hope you like it. 

Now, onto my next project,  This technique was NOT my idea I found it at the AMAZING Stacys, blog.  You kind can find her blog about this technique  HERE!.  She designs for Tim Holtz. 

When Making cards, Don't be afraid to incorporate altered designs or techniques to cute cards, This crazy background was super fun and super easy.  I used Cuddlebug Count Found HERE, with some of Tims new bats from sizzix.   Super quick super easy.

You may be wondering what change has to do with this card, I was grasping here, and HE wants to change you into a Vampire ;)  Hey, I tried LOL
