Just A Note Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. 
Since school has started, I wanted to show our Spiral Side stamp.

I had some corkboard paper and mounted it on the black cardstock.
I wanted to show a cover, so I used green cardstock and cut a piece of white cardstock for the paper.
I adhered the cardstock to the corkboard paper.
I stamped the Spiral Side twice on the cardstock. Then, I added the other stamps and embellishments to make them look like corkboard pins.
You could add lines and write your own message.

Stamps Used:

I hope you liked the card and have some ideas for the Spiral stamp.


Simple Autumn Season Card

 Hi, friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a seasonal autumn card.


I stamped Skeleton Leaf 2 in a variety of shades of Catherine Pooler inks, sometimes off-stamping to lighten the color.  By the way, there a few different skeleton type leaves in the shop.

I didn't want to cover up the background so embossed the  Autumn Dancing sentiment in gold on vellum and used my sewing machine to attach it to the panel.

Sanderson Sisters Halloween Card

 Hello Stampers. Vicky here today, and I am getting ready for October!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. It has great movies, and you can eat a lot of candy.
One of my favorite movies is Hocus Pocus, so I made this card for Oct.

This card was a simple one. I stamped the Sanderson Sisters at the bottom.
The saying, Good Witch Or Bad Witch, was stamped and cut out with a die.
I made a mask of the sisters and sponged light, medium, and dark purple over the card.

Hope you have a great day!

A Fall Card With Blowing Leaves

 Welcome, Stampers. Vicky is here with a fall card.
Here in WI, our leaves have started to change color and fall.
Our farmers are getting the last of the fields harvested. Fall is upon us.
I wanted a fall-rich-looking ink for the saying. 
I stamped the saying, Each Leaf with VersaFine Clair Glamorous Ink.
The Blowing Leaves Tree was stamped in the lower right corner.
I colored the leaves in with different colored markers. I followed the blowing lines with a light blue marker. I used the Texture Stencil Brush with the VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink.

Kooky Minion Halloween Card

Boo!  Toni here with you today sharing a really cute and rather kooky Halloween card featuring Dave Jumping.

My idea was to use Dave Jumping as hanging from a Witch's Broom zipping around in the night sky.  

I masked a circle on the card front and used my Copic Airbrush to color the background in shades of patchy blue as though there's a bit of cloud cover.  I spattered alcohol to create the large drops then Copic Opaque White for stars.

Using Copics I colored up the images as well as added a few craters to the moon which I sponged lightly in yellow along the edges.

Finally I stamped the Harry P 1 and embossed it in white. How perfect is that sentiment for pretty much any Minion card, right?

Bright & Spooky Minion Halloween

Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a bright and spooky Minion Halloween card.


My first step was sponging the background using Catherine Pooler inks.  I applied a spiderweb stencil on top of that then spattered the lot with water.

Next I colored up the Tombstone Lg and Ghost Minion using Copics.  Notice how I aged the gravestone by spritzing a paper towel with alcohol and pressing it against the colored image--it lifts the color away in random ways.

To complete the scene, I stamped the Tree Wide Bare on the background then diecut a spooky fence and grass.
