Batty For You Costume Party Invite

So sorry for not getting anything posted last week.  I was having problems with a tooth, but all is good now.

Here is a card that my eight year old designed and made for her costume party...she was so excited about her card that I told her I would post it on my blog.  She did them on her own, with a bit of help with the tearing.  I think she did a great job!

Just Believe Flower

Today's card I came up with using our great new Color Coach!   I new I wanted to use Riding Hood Red, so I went to that color and the two other colors that were suggested as good color combination were Baja Breeze and So Saffron, which is how I decided on the colors for this card.

Classic Stampin' Ink Refill: Rich Razzleberry 115664

Color Catcher 121093

An empty mini Spray Bottle

Some Rubbing Alcohol

To get the shimmer on the spider web, I took an empty mini spray bottle and added approx 3/4 full of the bottle with Rubbing Alcohol.  In this I added approx 7-8 drops of Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin' Ink Refill and about 5 drops of Platinum Shimmer Paint.  Shake well. Then place the embossed Rich Razzleberry piece in the color catcher and spray it! 

This works great on our Paper Daisies as well and will turn them a rich razzlebery color with some shimmer to them.

We have a winner!!!!

Congratulations to Melanya69 who is the winner of my Blog Candy!    Thank you to everyone for stopping by and for becoming a follower.  I  hope you enjoy my ideas and creations.

Bone Folder 102300

For those of you that have not tried out our wonderful fabric, this is a great card to try it on.  I cut out a square an inch bigger then what I needed to cut out the scallop square. I then cut out a square a bit smaller then the fabric, of the Adhesive Sheets.  Peel one side off of the Adhesive Sheet and lay it on the backside of the fabric.  I then took my Bone folder to press the Adhesive Sheet good onto the fabric.  Then you run the die through the Big Shot (I used a shim of paper because the fabric is not as thick as paper, to get a clean cut). 
I hope you enjoy this card!

Enjoy!

You are going to want to emboss the Rich Razzleberry with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder and wrap the ribbon around it using some Mini Glue Dots before you adhere it to the cardbase.  Then you get to stamp your images and play with all your wonderful circle punches!  For the scalloped circle I stamped twice and
I used 2 Stampin' Dimentionals in between the two layers.
I hope you enjoy this colorful and fun card!

Wedding Cake

I made this card for our cousin's wedding.  I love this stamp set and do not get to use it often enough!

Stamps: For the Bride 113216
     (not in the catalogue, but IS still
      available)
CS: Basic Grey 121044,
Whisper White 100730
DSP: Elegant Soirée 117163
Punch: Scallop Trim Border 118402
Organza Ribbon 5/8" Whisper White
(need 23") 114319
Mini Glue Dots 103683
Dotto 103305
Stampin' Dimentionals 104430 (used 5)
Mat Pack 105826
Paper-Piercing Tool 116631

I wanted to make this card elegant, so the Organza Ribbon was just what I needed.  Combine the ribbon with the wonderful border punch and it was just the right accent I needed.  I used the bunny ears technique (I have a horrible time tying bows and this is the best way for me). I did some piercing around the stamped image to dress it up and then placed 5 Stampin' Dimentionals behind the stamped image to have it pop out from the Basic Grey mat.

Have a great weekend everyone!
