The leaves are still changing and falling (and looking fabulous) so I can’t quite let the Halloween card season go yet 😬😬 it’s my favorite season to craft! I’m sure I’ll get the Yule tide bug soon enough, but for now my table is full of leaves, candies and pumpkins 🎃

Messed up the top inking, used too much Stickles, and it’s a bit crooked. Oh well 🤷‍♂️😅

Imitated Yana Smakula’s halloween card design and made this with a Cricut! Changed the sentiment to a birthday wish :)

Coffee in hand, phone in the other, and ready for the day!

He was also a guitarist and did a cover of Pink Floyd Wish you were here. Miss you Dad!

Don't ask where I get these ideas cause I don't know myself 😂

Hi there! I have a question for anyone who uses Concord & 9th cardstock and inks!

For the past couple of years I’ve been using distress oxides but I’ve never loved the chalky finish they leave behind. I exclusively use Concord & 9th colored cardstock, so I’ve been considering switching to their inks instead. I would only use them to add depth and shading to my die cuts. My question is, are the inks a darker shade than the coordinating cardstock? For example, if I inked the edges of a die cut that’s cut from poppy cardstock with poppy ink, would it create a slightly darker shade for a more dimensional look?

I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Thanks so much!

Added photo of one of my cards for attention on the post :)

A thank-you card for the chef at our breast cancer program.

Thought I would repost here! I love making these! Has anyone here done this before?

Ahh first card of the season 🙂‍↕️💚 all up hill from here lol🤞🏽

A colleague requested a Stitch card and I managed to find a bunch of Stitch stickers from the toy aisle yesterday and this actually doesn’t feel tacky!

Does anyone else use this type of stickers? (I have a lot of stickers left over)

To my cat lovers of the world.

These colors are more stunning in person. The photo does not do the card any justice.

I’ve made 2 of each card pictured.

Made this card for a guy who wanted to gift it to his gf 🥹🎀

I'm still on Halloween over here.

Amiright or Am I Right????

How else would you add interest to cards without making them “doily” like? I’m going for a modern/simple look but wondering if they’re too “flat” or juvenile. Constructive criticism welcome!

Made a set of Halloween cards with what I had at home. For the candy corn, I layer 3 circles in different colors and for the ghost I used an acetate die set that’s really come in handy for unique shapes. I also used the circle die scrap which actually worked out well!

Finally got round to starting my holiday cards! Shopping my stash to generate storage. But as Margareth at Sevenplaza would say: I'm cutting down scraps to make more scraps.

Trying not to overthink it and going with the flow. My partner really likes them; says they're modern and fresh.
