Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge# 212

My Cricut has been busy as ever! I just wanted to make a Halloween layout using this week's colors:

I used my Artbooking Cricut Cartridge once again. Everything was cut at 11", RDS off. I used White, Pansy, Eggplant and Black cardstock. I added some silver and white sequins and Nevermore Assortment (retired) to glam my page up, and I also added some White Daisy inking on the haunted house and picture frame.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #209

Wow, it's hard to believe it's September already! This week's colors were picked by our 200th challenge winner, Lisa of Life of a BZ Scrapper.

I'm currently involved in some swaps in my Facebook groups, and it's always handy to have a card around, so I made my Halloween swap partner one using August's Stamp Of The Month, Purr-fect Halloween (retired). The cat was stamped with White Daisy on Black Cardstock, and the frame and sentiment were stamped using Pear and Pomegranate. My background paper is from La Vie En Rose, and I added some striped sequins from Calypso and Gold Sequins as well. I added some "flags" using Coral and Green Shimmer Trim and Black Striped Twill Ribbon.

Tomorrow is Halloween and the colors for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare best reflects it:

I used paper from the Nevermore Paper Packet for the pumpkin. The Black Chevron is from the retired Fundamentals Paper Collection. The file is from SVG Cuts. I added a flower that I made using White Daisy Cardstock, inked with Sweet Leaf Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The flower center is from Nevermore Assortment. I added some tulle for the witch's hat.

Color Dare Challenge # 165

We have a beautiful Gothic color combination this week at Color My Heart Color Dare:

I had to use the Steampunk Scoundrels stamp set once again for this card. I stamped the images with Ruby, Slate and Black Exclusive Inks stamp Pads. I layered the White Daisy cardstock on Whisper Fundamentals paper (retired). I added a Slate Diagonal ribbon and Black Crystals flourishes, both of which are available on the while supplies last section for my embellishments.

Nevermore...Color My Heart Color Dare Blog Challenge #164

We are featuring the Nevermore Paper Packet with pear as an optional color for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare:

I love everything Steampunk and was doubly excited when Close To My Heart released Nevermore. I knew I had to make a haunted cottage with it! I used Black Paper Cardstock for my base and inked it up with White Daisy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. I inked the edges of the designer paper with Cocoa Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The windows had vellum under it. The roof was stamped with images from Steampunk Scoundrels. Now all my cottage needs is an electronic tealight and it's all set for Halloween! We are looking forward to seeing what you've created at Color My Heart Color Dare!

Halloween Pop Up Box Card

Box cards have been so popular for a while, so I decided to give it a try, thanks to the Splitcoastampers tutorial. I used theScaredy Cat paper packet from Close To My Heart, and the layout patterns from Reflections. The stamp set is from Halloween Greetings, stamped using Thistle, Black and Sunset Exclusive Ink.

I added Black Striped Twill Ribbon and a border with a bat design to the outside of the card.

CTMH August SOTM Blog Hop

If you just left Heather's Blog, then you're in the right place!

There are more than 60 Independent Close To My Heart Consultants participating in this month's bloghop! Whoo-oo could resist those darling owls featured in August's Stamp Of The Month(SOTM)? :-D You can get them for $5 with every $50 purchase at the Close To My Heart website. The original price is $17.95, so it's an awesome deal, and yes, they are a hoot!

I decided to make a two-page layout featuring the What A Hoot stamp set. I used the Scaredy Cat paper packet, Sequins Silver Assortment, some Sparkles Clear Assortment, and colored the images with ShinHan Touch Twin markers in Warm Grey WG4, Warm Grey WG7, Peony Purple P282, and some Copic markers. I also added some Stickles on the purple flower on the owl's belly. I used the layout formats on pages 19 and 21 from The Reflections Scrapbook Program.

Here's a closer look at the owls:
