Spidy Hat

Here is another Halloween card. This one is a neon green base with orange as the second layer. The hat (spider and string thing attatched) was cut from black. The strip on the hat is green card stock (same as card base). And the buckle is shiny gold paper from Michael's. The spider has CTMH Liquid Glass on it and the string coming from it is just marked over with white pen. The ribbon at the bottom of the card is Studio G.

Another Bat

Here is another Halloween card I've made. This one is on an orange base with textured purple paper as the second layer. The bat is from the Happy Haunting Cricut cart. I used two clear CTMH Bitty Sparkles for the eyes. The ribbon at the bottom is Studio G and what I did for that was put on a long strip across the bottom, then I just tied a little piece off to the side and trimmed the ends diagonally.

Cute Boot

Here's another! This one is a neon green base, with dark purple as the second layer, and orange as the third layer. This card isn't the best of all of them but i think it looks okay. The boot is cut from purple textured card stock, and has a CTMH Bitty Sparkle on the tip. At the bottom I have green CTMH Sassy Strands from the Summer Carnival set and purple CTMH Sassy Strands also from the Summer Carnival set. Okay, now I have a bad joke for ya. On the inside it says boo. Well, I showed my mom and she said I spelled it wrong and forgot the "t" at the end. I was: thinking the end of what? Then she explained it... Whats on the front? A Boot. I forgot the "t" at the end. End of what? Boo. Get it? There's a boot on the front, and on the inside it says boo. I forgot the "t". Yeah, hillarious.

It's not any ones birthday yet but here is a birthday card I made last night. The monkeys and palm tree are from a stamp I got a long time ago... I think from Wal-Mart. The happy birthday and the leaves on the palm tree are stamped in Topiary (CTMH). The base of the palm tree is Desert Sand. The brown of the monkeys is Chocolate. The pink of the monkeys is Baby Pink, and the outlining of the monkeys and tree is just Black. For sand on the bottom I used the CTMH Maize color pencil. To make the card more fun I put dots of silver glitter glue all over the front. I also put liquid glass on the coconuts in the palm tree and on the girl monkey's flower. The base of the card is light pink card stock and the white is white card stock. For the hanging monkey I put a hole on each side of his tail and pulled Cream colored CTMH Waxy Flax through them so it would look like he was really hanging. Okay for the inside the white is white card stock, the green is from a paper pack from Joann's called Vintage. The words are stamped in Baby Pink and Pink Carnation was used on the edge of the white paper. Also, the stamp for the inside is Charm Lowercase.
