Trick or Treat Card...

Hello friends!  Happy Saturday and Happy World Card Making Day!  Wow, 3rd post in 3 days…I'm on a roll!  Today I'm sharing another Halloween/Trick or Treat card!
The base of the card is Tim Holtz Kraft Core cardstock.  I ran it through my Vagabond with the Cobweb Texture Fade and sanded the raised portion with a sanding grip.  I diecut a couple bats, the cat and the smallest pumpkin with grungeboard using the Hocus Pocus and Jack-O-Lantern dies.  I colored them using Distress Paints and crackled the pumpkin with Distress Crackle.
 I added ephemera from the Frightful Pack and Curiosity Remnant Rubs.  Then to finish my card off, I added a snippet of rickrack from Tim Holtz Halloween Trimmings.
This is also a design team project for Inspiration Emporium.  I hope you can stop by and take a peek at all the great inspiration my team mates have created over at the Inspiration Journal!  You can find most of the supplies I used at Inspiration Emporium via the links below.  Remember to use my coupon code - vintagemuse - to save 10% on your order.  That wraps it up for me, I hope you enjoyed todays project!  As always thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!

Fall Is In The Air...

Hello friends!  The weekend is upon us, hope you're doing something fun and creative!  Today I'm sharing a fun fall triptych card.  I recently had a fall triptych canvas tutorial on the Ranger blog here, that has a similar feel to it.
 The base of the card and the dry embossing are both Kraft Core cardstock.  The diecut arches and leaves are made out of manila cardstock.  I colored the arches and leaves using a combination of Distress Paints and Distress Inks and a little water.  The little metal accents at the bottom of the arches are Gothic Industrial Stickers distressed with alcohol ink.  I layered everything up and secured with adhesive.  A quick and easy card, just perfect for fall!

Frightful Halloween Card...

Hello friends!  I'm happy you've stopped by today.  I have a Frightful Halloween card to share with you!  My spooky halloween projects are in full swing around here.  With Halloween approaching, that means fall is here (where I live) and I just love the cooler temperatures it brings!  This is also a design team project for Inspiration Emporium.  I hope you can stop by and take a peek at all the great inspiration my team mates have created over at the Inspiration Journal!
 For the base of my card, I started with Tim Holtz Kraft Core #24.  Kraft Core is my absolute favorite cardstock!  I selected a paper from the Regions Beyond paper pad.  Did a little stamping and stenciling with texture paste.
 I diecut the words "Happy Halloween" out of manila card stock, then heat embossed in silver.
 I stamped the raven on distress watercolor paper and colored with distress inks and a water brush.  The new Sizzix Tim Holtz punches are wonderful!  I love that they have a distressed look to them.  I used the banner and the twig punches.  I did some additional distressing and used some vintage book paper behind the raven.  I layered everything up, did some paint splatters and there you have it!  Spooky fun! ;)
