Cards
Halloween Card using the SSS October Card Kit
I’ve seen a lot of pretty autumn cards using the tree stamp from the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit, but I like to take some of my Halloween cards to a slightly darker place: I love the patterned papers from the “Into the Woods” collection from Lawn Fawn but needed to tone it down […]
Scattering Leaves Card – Hero Arts Inspiration Challenge
It’s no secret that I love nature-themed images, so even though I already have many leaf stamps, I needed to get the new “Scattering Leaves” set from Hero Arts too. For their new challenge, you are asked to base your project on an inspiration piece from their blog, gallery, or catalog and use at least […]

Halloween Chalkboard Card using Silhouette Sketch Pens
I know most people don’t make a lot of Halloween cards…but I live pretty far away from my entire family, so sending a note on even the smallest of holidays is important to me. Surprisingly, I’ve been enjoying the chalkboard trend, so I decided to use my Cameo to sketch out a couple of Halloween […]
