Saturday Cute Halloween

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is "Cute Halloween" and this is the third card I made for my neighbor's great-grands. This one is for the youngest sister, who is four years old, and she's the cutest little sassy-pants. I wish this darn pandemic would end so we could have them all over for a cook out and I could give the girls a big hug!

On this card I made a Pumpkin Pie watercolor wash for the background and embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder, then matted it on Pumpkin Pie before adhering it to the card base.

 

After heat-embossing the greeting, I used the Trio of Tags Dies to cut the jack-o-lanterns from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and glued them on the tag, then tied it with a Polka Dot Tulle ribbon. A Black Glitter Paper die cut was adhered before adding the black cat and tag, both on dimensionals. The eyes on the cat were made with the White Stampin' Chalk Marker. A few Pumpkin Pie rhinestones complete the card.

Spooky Cat Again

One more Halloween card, and I promise I'm done! This one also has very little stamping because the Spooky Night DSP has such great images! Only the greeting (from Labels to Love) was stamped and then colored with a Pumpkin Pie marker.

The cat was punched and the Jack-0-Lanterns were fussy-cut from the DSP, with one popped up.

I used the retired Spider Web embossing folder to add a little texture and black rhinestones to add some bling.

Spooky Halloween

The black cat in the Spooky Night DSP was just begging to be let out so he could sit on a fence and yowl at the moon. So, who was I to deny him? Pumpkin doesn't get to go outside (too many predators), but I have no problem letting this guy out.

This was a quick card to make, since all the images were in the DSP! It was just a matter of punching, layering and gluing, and then adding the greeting.

The fence was so easy to build using the Classic Label Punch and Wood Textures DSP for the pickets. I wish real fences were this easy to build! We could sure use some good fencing around the homestead.

I added a little bit of Lemon Lime Twist to make the cat's eyes green. The Happy Halloween greeting in the Spooky Cat stamp set fit perfectly in the picket fence punch Classic Label Punch. *grin*

Colorful Seasons & Barnwood

Besides the spectacular views, one of the things that attracted us to this house, when we were looking online at properties, was the beautiful barnwood wall in the living room. I'm sure this house has a great story to tell, if only the walls could talk! We know that the wood was taken from an old barn down by the river, although we're not sure where. I do know the oak plank walls in my craft room were from an old oak tree that used to stand right next to the house.

Since we had to have the dead ash tree cut down, I'm hoping to use some part of it to preserve its memory with the homestead, too. Though I haven't figured out just how, yet.

So, the beautiful barnwood walls, as seen in the photo above, were my inspiration for today's card. Some Shimmery White cardstock was embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder, then I dragged Soft Suede, Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray ink pads lightly over it to give it that weathered look.

The Hearth & Home Framelits die window frame was cut from Whisper White Thick cardstock, and the cat was punched in Basic Black. Yeah, I know, it doesn't look like my Punkin at all, but I was fresh out of orange tabby cardstock, LOL.
