Mr. Bones Spook Out Blog Hop Post #2

Here is another Halloween themed card I made!  As I have mentioned before, I do not own any Halloween Stamps, I had to improvise.  Well I got to thinking, October is an extrememly busy birthday month for me, so I should make some Halloween-ish Birthday cards for some people.  

This particular card makes me think that all these eyes are lined up & looking at me!

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Faux Ribbon (I think?)

Paper: PTI Orange Zest, True Black, Kraft

Ink: True Black

Dies: Limitless Layers Dies, Eyelet Border Die

Card Swap Cards!

Hi friends!

Just wanted to share my cards I made for a card swap I recently signed up for!

I signed up 4 for groups (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & Valentines).  I didn't realize when I signed up that they ALL WOULD BE DUE October 5th!  What, all at once, I thought maybe due the month before..... anyways, I overreacted for about 5 mins, lol and then got down to crafty business, and totally surprised myself and finished the majority in 1 day and then finished the next day!  YEAH!!!!!

I am also using this particular blog post to link up to Papertrey Inks Mr. Bones Spook Out Blog Hop with my Halloween Card.

MIM Challenge #65 Using Patterned Paper Scraps

Hi everyone!

Wanted to put my spin on the challenge this week! I have no home Internet as of now, silly satellite service. Oh, it's one of the perks of living in the deep woods! So this post is coming via iPhone Blogger App, who knew such a thing existed! Anyways, I'll be brief......

Here's my card..... I think the patterns could be too busy together, but my friend doesn't think so.

HELLO FRIEND!!  

That is exactly what this card for MIM #63 is titled, Hello friend

To find information about this weeks MIM Video on Glittered Die Cuts click here.  

Now, on to the card....

I did not have an Xyron Sticker Maker, so following suit of what some other crafter did, I used scor-tape. BUT, I wanted to add a little bit extra dimension to my clouds, so I made them striped glitter clouds!

Take a closer look!

How fun!  Love that little bee with the trail!

Anyways - just wanted to share!

Have a super blessed day!!

Blog Hop Fail!

Well I made a card for the Papertrey Blog Hop thinking I could submit it any time and totally spaced it was for one day!  So I am just going to submit them here anyway.  I have never made swing fold card, but I tried it and it was fun, but tedious.  I found a youtube video on how to do it here.

Here is my 2 cents, I mean 2 cards!  ha ha ha!

Sweet - Outside

Sweet - Inside

Happy - Outside

Happy - Outside

Thanks for looking!  Can't wait to get my hands on some of PTI's Movers & Shakers Dies!  That would make my interactive cards a little easier to make!  LOL!
