So Many Squirrels

Hello, friends!  Toni here with a snarky cute friendship card that's perfect for fall or anytime of the year.
I stamped and watercolored Duck Grin and Silly Squirrel Sm, placing them to leave space on the card front for the Don't Have Ducks in Row sentiment.

Next, I used a stencil to add falling hearts and acorns.  Originally, they were in a pale blue, but that seemed boring, so I added in fall colors like yellow and orange. Happy dancing now!

A Dash of Magic and a Pinch of Healing

      Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
You know what they say—when you’re feeling under the weather, a little magic can go a long way. And really, who better to brew up a “get well soon” potion than a witch and her loyal black cat?

This card definitely took the scenic route to completion. I started with one idea in mind, then took a turn, then another—and maybe three more after that! But honestly, that’s part of the fun. Sometimes the best cards are the ones that evolve on their own, with a sprinkle of surprise and a dash of whimsy along the way.

In the end, I landed on a Get Well card that carries a delightful Halloween vibe—because why shouldn’t a little witchy magic be part of the healing process? It’s perfect for those friends who appreciate a good spell, a black cat companion, and a touch of spooky charm, even when they’re not feeling their best.

For this card, I decided to have a little fun with the sentiment. I split the Chicken Soup sentiment between the outside and inside of the card—because sometimes a good phrase deserves a little stage time! On the front, it gives a hint of what’s coming, and inside, it ties the whole witchy get-well theme together perfectly.

To make the scene feel more grounded, I extended the floor from the Witch with Crockpot image so the Cat and Broom didn’t look like they were floating midair (as magical as that might be!). It’s a small detail, but it really helps everything come together, making the little potion-brewing scene feel cohesive and cozy.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Memento Tuxedo Black, Alcohol Markers, white gel pen, speech bubbles dies, mouse border punch, pattern paper, and black bling.
Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Fall Blessings

 Hello, Janet here with another simple fall card.
The fall paper is so beautiful that you only need a sentiment to create a lovely card.
I stamped the sentiment, "For All Our Blessings we give thanks," with Clair VersaFine Nocturne Ink on a die-cut piece of white cardstock. I placed it on a piece of angled orange paper. The bottom layer of the card is matching orange, with fall-designed paper on top. I attached the sentiment and orange paper on top. Three brads are used for an accent.

Hocus Pocus Halloween Card

Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite movies, and so I made this card with the Sanderson Sisters and their book.  
Crackerbox Stamps has a lot of Hocus Pocus stamps, but I used the Sanderson Sisters Silhouette over the saying, Hocus Pocus Bunch.
I stamped Hocus Pocus Spell Book and mounted it on a black circle.
There is also the Black Flame Candle I wanted to use, but couldn't figure out where to put it.
Maybe you might have some ideas for the candle?

Do you or anyone you know watch Hocus Pocus for Halloween?

I stamped the Pumpkin With Crow on white and fussy cut around it. 
 
The Happy Halloween With Webs was stamped with VersFine.
I sponged orange and used the Texture Brush for the black dots.

Sassy Cows and Snarky Laughs

      Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I’m joining the Just for Giggles hop on Instagram again, and ever since discovering Crackerbox Stamps, it feels like that’s all I ever reach for during this hop—and honestly, can you blame me? Their stamps have the perfect mix of funny and snarky that makes me laugh every single time.

This round, I’m featuring one of my all-time favorite cows, Miss Daisy. 🐮 I tried to branch out and use one of the other hilarious sentiments from the set, but somehow I always end up circling back to my trusty “KISS MY DAIRY-ERRE”—because really, it just says it all! 😄

I started with a cream-colored tag, stamping Miss Daisy front and center. To give her a little scene to stand on, I used a bit of washi tape to mask a line—it’s one of those simple tricks that always makes a big difference. Then I went to town with my mini blending brushes, blending Bahama Blue, Rose Bud, and Dandelion inks from Memento. The mix of those colors gave the background such a cheerful, lighthearted feel—perfect for Miss Daisy’s personality!

Once the ink was dry, I added a few doodles to ground the tag and started pulling together some pattern papers and older backgrounds from my stash. It’s always fun to give those leftover bits new life, especially when they tie everything together so perfectly.

Supply List:
Memento Bahama Blue
Memento Tuxedo Black
Memento Dandelion

Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, white gel pen, pattern paper, and black bling.

Burlap Fall Card

 Hello, Janet here with a simple, colorful fall card. I love making fall cards. The colors are so vibrant.

I started with a piece of brown cardstock embossed with leaves. I cut a piece of colorful fall paper into 3 equal pieces and rounded the corners. I placed them equally on a piece of dark blue paper. It is attached to the brown paper. A small rectangular piece of burlap is tucked under the right side of the blue paper. I stamped the word "Autumn" with Clair VersaFine Ink on a piece of tan paper that was die-cut. It is attached with 2 brass brads. The word Autumn is part of a four-piece set for the seasons.

Fall Birthday

 Hello, Janet here with a birthday card. It has all the beautiful colors of fall foliage.

Starting out with a small rectangle of white cardstock, I stamped Happy Birthday with Clair VersaFine Nocturne Ink. Then I stamped the leaves around the label with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The leaves are colored with copic markers. Using a soft brush, I added some color with yellow and orange ink. The finished label is added to black cardstock. I place three gold colored brads randomly on the label. The base is brown cardstock embossed with leaves. I stretched a burlap ribbon around the center of the card and attached the label.

When Clean and Simple Meets a Nest of Fun

     Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
Sometimes a card just takes on a life of its own—and this one definitely did! I started out with the intention of keeping things clean and simple, using only three stamps. First up was Kid Witchy. Oh. Em. Gee. She is retro fabulous in every possible way, and I couldn’t wait to give her a starring role.

Since the challenge required me to include a bird, I thought, why not go a little unexpected with the Standing Chicken? She adds just the right dose of quirky fun. To finish things off, I reached for the “Wicked Never Looked So Good” sentiment. In my humble opinion, that sentiment could go on just about any card—it’s that good!

At this point, I was loving the crisp hexagon design and feeling very pleased with the clean look. But then… the nest happened. 😂 Suddenly, my “simple” card became a little wild, but in such a fun way. And honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing.

What do you think—do you prefer your cards to stay neat and tidy, or do you let them run a little wild sometimes too?

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Memento Tuxedo Black, Watercolor pencils, Alcohol Markers, white gel pen, stitched speech bubbles, hexagon punches, pattern paper, border punches, threads and black bling.

Dancing Leaves

Hello, friends! Toni here with you today. Fall is my favorite season so I'm in my happy place right now with crisp air, colorful leaves, and blue skies. 

I tried to capture that in my card.  I stamped the Skeleton Leaf 2 using a variety of Catherine Pooler inks randomly applied before stamping.  I then sponged the edges of the card front with a blue Catherine Pooler ink and spattered with water.

Next, I sponged a Lawn Fawn leaves coverplate. Aren't those orange tones gorgeous against the blue?!  My final step was to stamp the Autumn Dancing sentiment.

Spooks In The Cupboard Halloween Card

 Hello Stamper! We have crazy spooks in the cupboard, and we are letting them out for Halloween!
I stamped the images on an ivory-colored card to give it an aged look.
I stamped the Cabinet and put brads for the drawer handles. The cabinet is colored with Copic markers, so I was able to color the brads to match the cabinet's color. There is a lot you can put in this cabinet.
The Spider Webs were stamped with gray ink to give them a dusty appearance.
Ghost Slimer was stamped to scare the Pirate Pumpkin.
The Skull and the Bat think they are all crazy.
The Spider wondered why he came out of his corner.
The last thing was to stamp Trick Or Treat.
