RITA HOLMES INSPIRED ME AGAIN


 Yesterday I watched Rita's video on Facebook.  This was a bit of a challenge for me but I am pleased with the results.  The front has a little window opening created by partial die cutting.  I think I could create a similar look without using that method and may give it a try.  The paper from Stampin' Up! was a $5.00 "Product of the Month" for a minimum order.  I needed to stock up on some card stock and loved the subtle colors of this paper..........also it is shimmery!

Thank you for coming by today!

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN


It felt really good to get 50 cards made with this design!  Why?  All of the papers are from my leftover stash of Lasting Impressions papers.

THREE SIMPLE HALLOWEEN CARDS



The paper with the "characters" on it was a sheet of designs but I just could see making card fronts with the 12 x 12.  I used circle punches to get at the designs and "chopped up" the two sheets with circle punches and then salvaged the leftover designs by cutting into rectangles.


There are 50 cards using these papers.

Thank you for coming by today!

BEGINNING HALLOWEEN CARDS


This is the beginning of the Halloween cards that I have made for the care centers.  I have officially finished 150 cards to share with three centers.  Cards that will be mailed to others will have to be finished later.

Thank you for coming by!

USING TEXTURED TAPE STRIPS


 Using these textured tape strips was different than just using dsp scraps all of the same width.  This gave a different dimension to the card front.
