Nightmare before COFFEE { Crafty Stamp Co }

 🎨 Hello and Welcome Back, Creative Friends! 🌟

🎃🍂Today I bring you a special creation, perfect for this Halloween season: a handmade card using the adorable stamps from Crafty Stamp Co.'s "Cute n' Creepy Caffeine" collection. ✨

I used Prismacolor pencils to bring the stamped image of the Cute n' Creepy Caffeine to life. The card base is made from Kraft cardstock measuring 4.25" x 5.50", creating a warm and rustic canvas. The background panel is made from paper from the "Spookums Allowed" pack, I blended the edges with orange ink for an aged and mysterious touch. 🧙‍♀️🍁

I added three banners in different shades and sizes, cut from the "Halloween Textures" paper pack, and layered them for dimension. Then, I cut a circle using a die and blended it with orange ink before placing it over the banners, 0.25" from the top edge of the card.

The "Nightmare before Coffee" sentiment is highlighted with foam tape, creating a raised effect that adds depth to the card. For the finishing touch, I added some sparkling rhinestones in gold and orange tones on the bottom right corner, because a bit of shine is always welcome! ✨👻

I loved how the final design captured the playful and spooky spirit of Halloween, perfect for sending to friends and family who love this season.

I am not a fan of Halloween and it is not a celebration that I particularly like, but I absolutely loved these cute stamps set from Crafty Stamp Co.!

I hope you enjoyed my post today. 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderfully creative day! ✂️✨

SPOOKY Vibes & Coffee 🎃👻 { Crafty Stamp Co }

 🎨 Hello and Welcome Back, Creative Friends! 🌟

Today, I’m excited to share one of my latest creations inspired by the Halloween season. 🎃👻 Using the September Stamps Release "Cute n' Creepy Caffeine" and "It's a Boo Thang" from Crafty Stamp Co., I designed this card that combines spooky charm with a touch of fun!

                      

The card has a standard white base of 4.25" x 5.50". For the first panel, I used a navy blue cardstock and I embossed it with the Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder, which gives it an amazing irregular texture. 

✨ I added some yellowich strips from the Halloween Texture  paper pad to create contrast and highlight the elements.

The "Cute n' Creepy Caffeine" and "It's a Boo Thang" stamps were the focal point.  I used my Prismacolor pencils to bring the images to life. 🖍️ The pumpkin-faced mug and the adorable little ghost turned out so vibrant and lively. 

I cut a medium circle for the front of the card and placed the stamped images using foam tape raised on the white circle, adding the extra dimension to the card. I added the message "Fueled by spooky vibes & coffee" in the bottom right corner to balance the sequence and order of the design. ☕✨ I assembled everything on the card base, ensuring each element was perfectly aligned.

Creating this card was a fun experience!!

Crafty Stamp Co. always brings a touch of whimsy and joy to their collections, making the creative process even more enjoyable. I loved how the final design captured the playful and spooky spirit of Halloween, perfect for sending to friends and family who love this season.

SPOOKY Vibes & Coffee 🎃👻 { Crafty Stamp Co }

Spooky and Sweet Card with Spoopy Donuts! 🎃🍩 { Crafty Stamp Co }

🎨 Hello and Welcome Back, Creative Friends! 🌟

I'm thrilled to share with you a delightful and spooky card I made using the adorable Spoopy Donuts stamps from the September collection by Crafty Stamp Co. If you're a fan of Halloween and sweet treats, this card is perfect for you!

I started by stamping the adorable "Spoopy Donuts" and bringing them to life with my Prismacolor colored pencils. The vibrant colors make the donuts look irresistibly cute and spooky! Next, I used the "Halloween Textures 6x6 paper pad" also from the September release at Crafty Stamp Co.. to create the front panel. Love the patterns of this pad. I cut the panel using a Dots Border die, adding a fun and whimsical touch to the edges. 

I crafted a hanging banner from the same paper pad and placed it on the left side of the card front. This adds an extra layer of dimension and interest!! 

Using foam tape, I adhered the colored Spoopy Donuts to the center of the card panel. I used the foam tape to give them a lovely raised effect, making them pop off the card.

I mounted everything onto a Kraft cardstock base, giving the card a sturdy and rustic feel. 

The final touch was adding the playful sentiment, Donut forget to say Boo! 🎃🍩✨ also from the set,  to bring it all together.

This card is a perfect blend of SpOoKy and SwEeT, making it an ideal choice for Halloween greetings. The combination of vibrant colors, playful elements, and textured papers creates a visually stunning piece that any recipient would cherish.  

I am not a fan of Halloween and it is not a celebration that I particularly like, but I absolutely loved how this card turned out and these cute Spoopy Donuts from Crafty Stamp Co.!

I hope you enjoyed my post today. 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderfully creative day! ✂️✨

Triple Play Happy Birthday Card {Color Dare Challenge #617}

         🎨 Hello and Welcome Back, Creative Friends! 🌟

Today, I’m excited to share my creation for the Color Dare Challenge #617.

I decided to take on the Triple Play Challenge and had a blast experimenting with textures and colors!

For this card, I used embossing folders from Spellbinders. I embossed in the three challenge colors: Royal, Lagoon, and Lemoneade. Then, I cut strips in different sizes and randomly placed them on the front of the card, creating a unique visual effect with varied textures and depths.

🌈 Using Memento black ink, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" message with the Big Bold Happy Birthday stamp set from Scrapbook.com. I die-cut the shadow of "Happy Birthday" three times, to add some depth to it. And placed it in the center of the card, added a mini white cord bow for a charming final touch.🎀

I also added some gold droplets for an extra touch of sparkle and elegance. The contrast of colors and textures truly makes this card stand out, perfect for any birthday celebration. 🎉

I absolutely loved how this card turned out—bold, bright, and beautifully balanced!

  🎨 Join us and participate in the Color Dare Challenge #617!✨
