Stamp Review Crew - Spooky Cat

Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew blog hop! The Stamp Review Crew is an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who get together on the first and third Mondays of the month to inspire you with a featured stamp set, and this time we are featuring Spooky Cat!

You probably just landed here from Mike's blog, Stampin'-Style. Weren't his projects awesome?! To continue the hop (forward or backward) just click the links at the bottom of each post.

One of the (very few) things I miss since moving to our farm, is the little ones coming to our door Trick or Treating, because now I don't have an excuse to buy too much candy, haha. So, I can make up for it by giving my friends a little treat instead! Some candy corn is always nice, but I think the pillow box could hold a few Hershey's Nuggets, too. I just didn't have any. *sad face*

The box was made with the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits die and some Window Sheet. The tag uses greetings from the stamp set, along with Spooky Night Designer Series Paper and some embellishments.

While the main focus of this set is Halloween, I wanted to show a way that it could be also used for other occasions, so up next is a Valentine! I thought the owl looked so sweet, not spooky at all, so he's hanging out on a branch to serenade you.

The greeting was stamped using the Labeler Alphabet set, which is soooo handy for custom greetings!

That's all the fun stuff I have to share today. Up next is Betty, over at Kitty Stamp. Gee, I wonder which stamp she's going to focus on? LOL!

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.

Coffee - ALWAYS a Good Idea!

I know it's Thursday, and I don't usually post on days that begin with T, but I just couldn't wait to share this card! It was inspired by two challenges - this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and the cue word "Coffee" from CASology. Newton's Nook has a stamp set with an adorable kitty and coffee theme that was purr-fect for these challenges! The FMS259 sketch made it so quick and easy to throw together.

Does this ~~punk~~ kitty, remind you of anyone? LOL I'm getting a little better at coloring ginger cats! I used Copic Sketch Markers* for coloring the image.
