Spooky Corners

I can not remember the last time I came home from work and had time to make a card!  My hubby is on vacation right now and has been awesome about helping out with things around the house, leaving a lot less for me to have to worry about in the afternoons/evenings.  I think I'll keep him!

Since it was Wednesday, I had to check out the latest Freshly Made Sketches card sketch and this weeks did not disappoint!  

I still have a few Halloween cards to make so I pulled out the Festive Corners stamp set and got to work.  I love the spider web!  I created a fun little spider web frame for the SPOOKY sentiment and added a couple shimmery spiders.

These spooky spiders and webs were layered on a piece of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, then layered on the beautiful spider-webby piece of Magic in This Night DSP.  I love the simplicity of the black and white!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (retired)

Ink ~ Memento, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Festive Corners

Other Supplies ~ Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, Little Treat Box Dies

It is conference-week for my kiddos, which means no school on Thursday or Friday.  I am looking forward to taking Friday off and hopefully doing something fun with them before my hubby and the twins head out for deer camp. 

Happy Stamping! 

Merry Christmas Wishes

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

We are just a little over 3 months away from Christmas...say WHAT?!?!  I am not sure how time passes by so quickly, but here we are.  I think if I make at least one Christmas card each week for the next couple of months, I won't feel as much pressure when December rolls around.  

I paired up Festive Corners and Banner Year to create this Merry Christmas Wishes card.

I love these adorable little corner Christmas lights!  And they go along perfectly with this super cute Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper.  I just had to order another package of this DSP because I have used so much of it! 

I colored the Christmas lights in bright colors of Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy.  MERRY was heat embossed on Poppy Parade and CHRISTMAS WISHES was heat embossed on Granny Apple Green...I love these two colors together for Christmas!

I added one final touch with a few All the Trimmings Embellishments.  

I love how simple and cheerful this card is. This is one that I will make several of to send out this Christmas.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green Whisper White, Trimming the Town DSP

Ink ~ VersaMark, Memento, Stampin' Blends:  Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy

Stamp Sets ~ Festive Corners, Banner Year

Other Supplies~ White Embossing Powder

I may get an early Christmas gift this week...having my hubby home!!!  He's been gone for the past two weeks working on two different wild fires in Washington state.  It has been a horrible fire season and his strike team, along with thousands others, have worked long, hard and tiring days.  We are all ready for him to be home!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now, on to the next stop on the hop!

Happy Stamping!
