Wonderous Wreath with Bow Punch

Thought I'd make a bow from the new Bow Builder Punch (Occasions 2015) to put with my Wonderous Wreath card.  The little bow will be so cute on small packages.  My colors are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White.  I used the largest Banner Framelit and Wonderous Wreath Framelit Dies.  I used the Stylist Stripes Embossing Folder.  I stamped the verse with Craft White..

Trick or Treat

Sadly, I have not been posting or making any cards this month because my husband was in Hospice care for three weeks in September and passed away October 1 from colon cancer.  I have not stamped all month as it is hard to get inspired right now, but my friend Justine stopped by last night and we looked at some of my cards from the past and the most recent ones.  I had stamped some cards in September and never got them posted.  Thought I'd better post some of my Halloween cards before this month is over with.  This one is made with the Oval Framelits and I also used the Witches Brew DesignerWashi Tape as well as the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.  The stamp set is from Tags 4 You and the colors I used are Very Vanilla, Basic Black, and Pumpkin Pie.

Halloween Happiness

Next week, it will be close to the 90's in Indiana, so it's not quite fall yet, but I made this card a few weeks ago when we had some cooler weather.  Halloween Happiness is a new wood-mount stamp in the Holiday Catalog on page 20.  I used various shades of markers to ink up each pumpkin and used a black marker for the "Halloween Happiness".  I stamped the Jack O'lantern and trimmed him out with a dimensional on the back to make him pop out on the card.  The base color of my card is Basic Black. Then layered with Tangerine Tango.  Next, I used the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe but first I put it through the Big Shot using the new embossing folder called Stylish Stripes on page 22 in the Holiday Catalog.  The Washi tape is called Witches' Brew which is self sticking.  It comes in three designs on page 20 of the Holiday catalog.  I stamped "You Make Me Smile" from the A Round Array stamp set with Black Stazon ink.  I punched it out with 7/8" Scalloped Circle Punch and put a Deminisional on the back with some 1/8" Tangerine Tango Taffeta Ribbon.
