DAY TWO OF OUR OCTOBER GLITTER QUEEN BLOG HOP

Happy Fall, Y'All.  Do you remember the stamp set we used to sell with that saying?  I LOVED that stamp.  Made me feel right at home!  ha

How are you enjoying the blog hop so far?  Hope you are getting lots of ideas from our creative gals.  We certainly love to "show off our stuff" for you!!  Did you know we are from all over the United States?  I am in Texas, some are in Michigan, some in California and one even in Hawaii!!  We LOVE the internet so we can communicate with you all and share our ideas!!

For my card today I used the WICKED COOL stamp set.  I LOVE this set.  The boots and the hat are awesome, but so is the candelabra and the word stamps.  I got this idea from my new swap group member.  Didn't she come up with such a FUN idea?

 This is to be like the Witch's dresser or bureau with a mirror.  See the legs of her dresser at the bottom?  I punched those with the decorative punch.  Then I put on 3 "kitty-wampus" drawers to her dresser with dimensionals. (that's Tex-speak for crooked!)  I have mini gold brads as the handles to the drawers.  And look at that - she got stuck inside the dresser upside down!!  It was a wild night, I imagine!!

Her mirror is made with confetti cream card stock, then I sponged some basic gray around the edges, and stamped some spider webs as well.  I added her candelabra just a little crooked to show what a wild night it had been.  Inside, I stamped "Have a Wicked Halloween" also from the same stamp set.  Isn't it a HOOT??!!  LOVE IT.

The card stock colors are concord crush, lucky limeade, confetti cream.  The ink is basic gray and basic black.  Markers were used to color the stamped images.  A tad bit of Crystal Effects looks perfect on her candelabra, even if it doesn't show up well for my camera phone.

SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOU....

Sometimes do you get chills at your neck and the hairs get all prickly and you think someone is watching you?  That is the feeling kids love to have a Halloween time.  It is scary but fun for them at Halloween.  This card is kind of like that.  It is simple but scary and certainly fun.  I saw the idea at Becky Roberts blog and knew I had to CASE it with a few changes to make it my own.

Isn't it just too fun!!!  Reminds me of a mummy because of the black and white -  like bandages wrapped around a mummy.  I used Confetti Cream and my top note die for my BIG SHOT to cut out the card base.  Fold your card base and put it just inside of the one cut mark on the left side.  That way you have a folding card in the top note shape.  Then I cut it again single only in black and cut it in half.  I used the fun 1/8" black ribbon with the tiny white stripes.  I love this ribbon and have it in every color SU! makes it in.  I use it all the time!!  You NEED this ribbon, I promise you!!  I used two different sized punches for the eyes and sponged around the eyeball with black ink.  That's it.  Took less than 5 minutes to make.

I am using them for Thank You cards for my customers so I put a simple "thank you" from Kindness Matters stamp set on the inside.  It fits perfectly into the small notecard envelopes.

Hope you enjoyed this card.  Won't you leave me a note to tell me what you think of this Clean and Simple and FUN card??

Here's to Inky Fingers y'all!!
