Halloween Cupcake Treats

 Hello Friends

It is fast approaching the time for ghosts, goblins and little trick or treaters!  I don't like the scary stuff for Halloween so I make cards that have a little touch of cuteness.  I decided to make a card with some fun treats!  I am using the dies Monster Cupcake, Slime Cupcake and the Trick or Treat Phrase.

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a white slimline card base measuring 9 1/4 x 4.  Cut a piece of black card stock 9 1/8 x 3 7/8, cut a piece of checked DP 9 x 3 3/4.  Using the Slimline Windows die cut out light purple card stock

2.  Glue the black to the white card base, glue the checked DP to the black and then add the purple windows

3.  Using the Monster Cupcake, Trick or Treat Phrase and Slime Cupcake dies cut out the following colors of card stock: orange, black, green, brown, black, purple and white.  Assemble the cupcakes with a fine tip glue

4.  Arrange your cupcakes and the sentiment as shown above.  I added some bats and sequins to complete the card

Fall Barn

Hello Friends

I have another fall card for you today.  I am using the Autumn Ladder.  This is so detailed and adorable!

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a tan A2 card base, cut a piece of dark brown card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut a piece of wood DP 4 x 5 1/4

2.  Using the Autumn Ladder cut the following colors of card stock: green, light green, spring green, dark brown, brown, light blue, white, yellow, orange, black, light orange, red, rust, blue and silver.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue.  For the grass I used the die Spring Grass

3.  Begin to build your scene on the woodgrain DP.  I put the grass down first and then the ladder from there I added all the smaller pieces

4.  I decided that the ladder needed to lead to the hayloft doors so I just created the doors from some brown cardstock

5.  To finish the card I added the sentiment and a bow

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Now to get started!  Autumn is my favorite season!  I just love all the warm colors.  My card today is featuring the dies Fall Leaves and Fall Phrases.  I decided to play with some of my alcohol inks to create the vivid leaves.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a kraft color A2 card base.  Cut a piece of black card stock 5 3/8 x 4 1/8.  Cut a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4

2.  I used Yupo  paper to coat with my alcohol inks as shown above.  I did a variety of sheets one use the dabber and others just dropping the ink directly on the paper

3.  I used the Yupo sheet with the direct to sheet technique.  The colors were more vivid.  I then cut the leaves using the Fall Leaves die and I cut the leaves outline in black.  The little twig was from a tree die

4.  Cut a piece of burlap 1 1/2 x 4 and then dove tail one end.  Put a line of glue down the middle of the burlap and attach to the card.  I did not glue the edges of the burlap so I could tuck the leaves under it.  Arrange your leaves and twigs and glue in place.  Using Fall Phrases die cut the word autumn in black and glue to the burlap.  Add the button with the black twine bow

5.  Glue the panel to the kraft card base and then add the gold pearls and your card is complete
