Are You Ready For Some Football?

 Hello Fellow Crafters. Vicky here today with an invitation.

Are you ready for some football? Here in Wisconsin, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are changing color. Fall is coming, which means football is coming too. John is watching the Packers play football on TV. I took the time to design a football party invitation, complete with a custom G on the helmet, made by Crackerbox Stamps. We Wisconsinites love to party, and we especially love our football! Nothing beats gathering with friends and family to cheer on our beloved Packers, enjoying cheese curds and beer, and making unforgettable memories.

The Egg Has Entered Its Pumpkin Era

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

The Egg stamp is BACK, and apparently it refuses to stay an egg.

So far, we’ve turned this little guy into balloons, flowers, scales, mermaid tails... and now PUMPKINS! 

Because apparently the Egg has decided it has a seasonal career. And honestly? I’m here for it.

It’s officially pumpkin time, people! So grab that Egg stamp and give it a little imagination. Who says a stamp has to be what it says it is? What should we turn the Egg into next? I’m ready to make it weird. 

Supply List:

Egg Solid & Outline

Beware Of Frightful Things Halloween Card

Hello, fellow Sampers, Vicky here today.

I have started my Halloween cards, and something spooky is stirring! Get ready for a hauntingly good time! These Halloween stamps make it easy to create creepy, characterful cards. Complete with a mischievous spooky creature, flying bats, a glowing moon, and a frightful sentiment. Perfect for Halloween crafting, cardmaking, and adding a little eerie magic to your projects.

I stamped the Demon Wisp first using VersaFine. I punched a 1inch hole in a piece of scrap paper for the moon. Using yellow ink, I sponged into the circle opening.

I placed the punched circle over the yellow and sponged the rest of the card with grey-blue ink, then gray ink. I went a little heavier on the sides and around the moon.

The spots were made with the Texture Stipple Brush, which I love to use for a light background.

The saying, On Halloween was stamped with VersaFine, my go-to ink for detail and words.

Stamps Used:

Demon Wisp

Bats Flying

Beware On Halloween

Frankin Bob Says Life is Scary . . . without Coffee

A spooky hello to you, friends! Toni here with a cute and not too spooky Halloween-themed coffee card.

I used a variety of Halloween patterned paper to create the front backdrop. Naturally, I used the same paper on the coffee cup, choosing a fairly plain paper to allow the Coffee 3 sentiment to shine.

I next stamped Franken Bob and colored him up with Copics. I love his resting bitch face--same, Bob, same!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.
