Bloggers Challenge - Warhol cards

This week's challenge is inspired by the signature pop art style of Andy Warhol. Bold panels of color! I went with a simple, blank notecard - it was hard enough getting my layers the same. I finally ended up just using a punch, and trimming around.

Stamps: Fall Flair

Cardstock: Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black

Ink: Basic Black

Other: 1 3/8" square punch

Bloggers Challenge - Watercoloring

Well, I'm a week late, but I got it done! This is actually one of my Fall Stamp Camp projects that the girls will be making tomorrow morning.

Other: Watercolor Crayons, Aqua Painter (filled with water), Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon, ornament (from Oriental Trading)

Halloween Coaster Box

Now wouldn't you just love to get this little box filled with candy for Halloween???!!! I would! I made this with 4" coasters that I got from my favorite bar (unused of course). Use a glue stick to cover the coaster, then lay your trimmed paper on it, and rub all over. Punched on the sides and bottom with my Bind-It-All...makes it so easy and fast. Tie together with ribbon.

I covered the insides with cardstock, and the bottom coaster is just plain cardstock on both sides. I stitched the ribbon through around the bottom, like sewing it onto the box. That went a lot faster than tying ribbon through each hole, like I did for the sides

Papers: Basic Grey (Stampin' Up), Halloween print from a Fall Glitter Stack

Other: Bind-it-All, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black grosgrain ribbon (SU

It's a Halloween Ornament Card!

I'm so excited about Halloween stuff! I made this cute ornament card by cutting out two circles for the base, and attached them together with a Round Tab punch out of Black cardstock. Attached that to the circles with Sticky Strip.

Halloween Coaster Scrapbook

Oh my God! My friend Jamie scored a whole pack of these hexagon shaped coasters from a bar and we immediately put them to use! I made this little mini scrapbook out of them. I traced the coasters onto Whisper White cardstock, and cut out, for the inside pages. Bound it using my trusty Bind-It-All. I love that thing!

Halloween Treats!

This is a triangle box, to hold some Halloween TREATS! I love making little treaty things for Halloween!

I stamped little girlie here on Glossy White cardstock, then sponged Tangerine and Kiwi around her, and on her dress. Colored in her body/face and hair with markers.

Vintage Halloween

I just got this set from Artistic Outpost, and love it! I'm trying out other stamps - trying to broaden my horizons a little, and learn a few new things. I used an old Stampin' Up spectrum pad for this base. Brayered it on Glossy white cardstock. Stamped the image over that in Basic Black.

Bloggers Challenge - Color Combo

This week's challenge was to use certain colors (or close to it) - Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Riding Hood Red. I was trying to use just black and white cardstock too, so I sponged the edges. I'm not really happy with it, but it's a learning experience...hence, a challenge! Sorry for the blurry picture, but you get the idea.

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red
