HSS399 Trick or Treat

Hi there stampers!  I had a lot of fun creating this Halloween card once I got past the unique color palette from Hand Stamped Sentiments!  Check it out:

I used lots of old goodies on this card, but of course, Starry Sky is new!  So here we go:

My main images are from a retired SU set called Howl-o-ween Treat, and they were cut with their matching Boo to You dies!  I diecut a piece of Pool Party DSP with the Basic Borders dies and stamped some spooky spiderwebs and stars on a Starry Sky card base before adhering it.

The sentiment, from the same set, was placed in the Stamparatus, stamped with Starry Sky ink, then without moving the stamp, I cleaned it very well and inked it up again with Versamark ink.  Then I embossed it with clear embossing powder:

I added some Starry Sky glimmer paper stars, and on the inside, repeated the colors:

Lots of fun!  I am glad HSS pushed me out of my comfort zone with these colors!  I am going to enter this at Global Design Project as well, as their challenge this week is "Spooky"! 

Thanks for popping in today...enjoy it and be blessed!

A Special Halloween Card Plus Cards from Friends

Happy Wednesday, peeps! I have a fun card to share with you and it is a CASE from my special friend Karen! She sent me this neat Halloween card with a cool fun fold inside:

Aren't those papers cute?  And here's the inside; I love it!

I CASEd her fun fold (it's very similar to the diamond-fold cards I recently made) for a very special someone; I used a bunch of retired Halloween sets and dies from my stash:

And here's my inside:

Karen used a velcro dot to hold hers together but since I couldn't find mine, I used a couple of little magnets!  Now, on to some more goodies from my friends!  My stamping buddy Sandy, who is always SO generous to me, gave me a couple gifts in this ADORABLE bag she made herself!  The postcard image is printed on clear acetate...it's amazing!!  I can't stop looking at it!

Oh my gosh, so cute!

And this stunning card is from my friend Doris; the leaf is red foil and it moves back & forth!

My Paper Players teammate Nancy sent me this gorgeous fall beauty: I need to do one of those raised sentiments like she did:

And when my sweet friend paid me a surprise visit from Michigan, she brought this cutie with her:

I am so blessed to have crafty friends!  Enjoy your day and be blessed too!
