2010 In color Wicked Cool

I used the new In color from Stampin Up to make all these Halloween Projects. The Halloween set Wicked Cool can be found in the SU catalog. I wanted to make some cards using only cardstock and no DP. I used my embossing folders to give the cards some pop. The little treat box is made out of the Sizzix scallop envelope you need to two envelopes cut out and two 2 ¼ x 1 5/8 pieces. I found the idea on Chat Wszelaki’s blog Me, My Stamps and I. She has step my step pictures on how to make them.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. My girls and I are heading out in a couple of hours to Cincinnati to Fright Feast at Kings Island. Looking forward to spending time with them. They are 18 and 16. Time is just flying by!!!

Summer Cards

Here are some cards that I have worked on this summer. I use the hostess set Just Because on the so saffron and olive cards. I use a technique that I found on line a couple of weeks ago. You take an flower image you usually have to watercolor and stamp it on pattern paper and it gives a faux watercolor look. I love the results and it is so much easier than water coloring. Two other cards use a set from the summer mini. I love the bright colors and my daughter used them as thank you cards for her graduation gifts. The last card was very simple. I used color pencils on the image and the set is a retired hostess set. Tanks so much for visiting and have a great evening.
