Boris with my New goo punch


Halloween is soon approaching, and it just wouldn't be Halloween without Boris. As much as I love Boris (Amuse mad scientist), I may love my new Martha Stewart goo punch more (at least for now anyways). I searched every Michael's and AC Moore in Mass and New Hampshire and I just couldn't get my hands on one. They were sold out everywhere. SO, I put a post out to one of my Yahoo groups and low and behold one of my girls came through. When she told me she got me a Goo punch, I wanted to dance a jig. I then started stalking the mail lady. Yep, It came today, and I had to play. Even know I have homework and housework coming out my ears. I just had to play with my new punch. So, here is Boris with my punch.
Supplies:
paper: DP pebbles, card stock SU
Stamps: Amuse, CTMH web & spiders
Ink: Copics, Memento, SU basic Gray
Punches: Martha stewart goo punch, Marvy scallop circle.
Misc: stickles

Bloggers Challenge # 67: Falling for you

TGIF.......Another Friday has arrived, and that means another bloggers challenge. The challenge this week was to make a fall themed love card, or a anniversary card. I never make any kind of "Love" cards, so I embraced the challenge. Since Fall is my favorite season, I decided to go with the "falling for you" theme. I immediately thought of my Amuse owls.
I'm not sure how you design your cards, but I am always working around whatever paper I like at that moment. I also NEVER use a standard card size, which tends to run me some issues with envelopes. I know you can't tell by the picture, but this card measures 7x6. It is HUGE, and I used tiny Amuse stamps.
Also, I also wanted to know what your feelings are on Amuse stamps? A lot of stampers I know say Amuse is not their style their "to simple". I think they are what you make them. I don't think this card is a "simple" card. So, I would like to know what you think. What do you like about them, or what don;t you like?
Thanks for checking out my blog and have a fantabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend. If you have time check out the bloggers challenge group and see what they came up with.

Supplies:
Paper: basic Grey, SU chco chip, olive and pumpkin
Stamps: Amuse
Punches : Su scalloped
Ribbon: random
Ink: copic
Tech: I actually tried the Faux wood grain for the tree. Wicked easy and a nice affect.

Trick or Treat




This has to be one of the quickest cards I have ever made. I think it took 20 minutes. That is a new record. My motivation with this card was the ghost sticker in the middle. I found these cute stickerrs at michaels, and they are made by recollections. I'm not sure if I love this card, but I do love the image. I bought 4 of these with the intentions to challenge a few of my card making friends. So, startrt watching your mailbox.
Supplies: Imagincese paper, SU cardstock
ink: white pen, and thin black pen
Sticker: Recollections
Misc: SU cornor punch, SU scallop punch

Warm Winter Wishes


Here is a card I made using Whiff Of Joy stamps. I received this image for a secret image challenge. I must admit, when I first received the image I didn't love it. Once I sat to make the card, and I started to color it, I was loving it. I think It is a super cute image, and I was not familiar with the company until I received the image. You should check them out, they have some really cute stamps.
So, I am not good at keeping a card simple. The upper right hand of this card looks empty to me , but I'm afraid to put anything and ruin it. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Supplies:
Paper: ? Card stock is SU cranberry and olive
Stamps: Whiff of joy, and sentiments by Pink cat studios.
Ink: memento black, and copic markers
Accessories: Bling, and silver stickles.
