January 2022 Birthday Card Swap with Concord & 9th

 Hello friends, I know I am a month late in posting but I wanted to share this cute card with you anyway! 

The theme for January in my card swap group was to make Birthday cards and I have quite a bit of  Birthday themed stamp sets and dies to choose from so I pulled a bunch of them out and made myself pick only one set to work with and I chose the "Make a Wish" set from Concord and 9th. 

I love the bright colors I picked out from my scrap stash of cardstock so I don't know what brands I used, but the card panel is Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80# and the black cardstock base is Bazzill Black Licorice.

I stamped the greeting with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Premium ink.

After I die cut all of the candles and glued the layers together, I adhered them to the card panel with foam tape to give it some dimension.  

I kept the card pretty clean and simple so that I could easily make multiples for my card swap group. 

Thank you for visiting today! 

Have a wonderful and creative day! 

Haunted Halloween Flower Wreath

 I love this wreath! 

I love making these paper flowers! 

Using the Concord and 9th floral wreath dies from C9 Summer Camp and another flower die set from C9 I cut out a bunch of flowers and leaves from some purple, black, grey, and vellum papers. I used a variety of inks to give some depth and shading to the flowers and leaves. 

After all the pieces were shaded, I used the Tim Holtz shaping kit and the Sizzix fold and form-making tool to shape all of the flowers and leaves. Once shaped I glued the flower layers together and then using a hot glue gun adhered them all to the grapevine wreath that I bought at a local craft store. 

Can you spot the spiders? I also glued on some plastic spiders and used the hot glue to make some spider webs. 

 I was going with a more Haunted Mansion feel to this wreath and I love the way it turned out! 

Thank you for visiting and sharing my love of paper crafting! 

Have a Spooktacular day!

Cute & Spooky Halloween Flower Wreath.

 I absolutely love how this turned out!

The bright colors of the flowers against the white wreath really stand out.

All of the flowers, leaves, and bats are made out of paper!

I used some die sets from Concord and 9th to cut out all of the flowers and leaves, then I added some shading to them using various inks.

I then used the Tim Holtz shaping kit and the Sizzix fold and form-making tool to shape all of the flowers.

The little bats were cut out from the Lawn Fawn Haunted House add-on die set for the scalloped treat box die.

Thank you for visiting me today, I hope you have a fun and crafty day!

Hugs, Kisses and Get Well Wishes!

Good morning! 

When I came across this image from an old retired Stampin Up set I had to use it, to make some fun Get Well soon cards for my card swap group.  

 Because I was making 8 cards total, I ended up using two different patterned papers for the background. 

I pulled out my Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and stamped a bunch of images, and colored them in using my Prismacolor pencils. 

I used the Lawn Fawn outside-in stitched square dies to cut them out and also used a fun stitched scalloped rectangle die from My Favorite Things to cut out the white panel.

I shaded around the edges of the paper using a Picket Fence Blending brush and Simon Says Stamp Cobblestone ink. 

 For the finishing touch, I tied some twine around the panel with a bow. 

I kept them pretty clean and simple, don't you think they 

turned out super cute! 

Thanks for visiting me today, I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
