Whoodo you voodoo this Halloween?

"Frazzled"

When I received this little Unity/Ippity "Itty Bitty" stamp in the mail, I just HAD to put together some cute cards for a select few members of my family and friends who would appreciate the humor of having "someone" in their lives to put a voodoo hex on!

(I happen to know a friend's attorney who better watch his back!  whaahahaa!)

 

 

 

So I made a trio of the little ghoulish girlies!

I was cropping away from the house and away from my markers, so I colored them with pencils.

Not thrilled as I would be with the Copics, but the basic look works well enough for this purpose.

I just think this little doll is too cute NOT to utilize her.

I know MY doll and pins will get used!

 

 

The burlap paper is the new release from DCWV!

I love that it comes in the 6 x 6 pack and cuts really easily

with your paper cutter

(cut burlap side down for a nice sharp edge)

The paper is also DCWV,

"Bewitched".

 

Have a great week!

And celebrate 110 years of Harley Davidson by keeping your eyes on the road and pay attention to those bikers!

Most accidents are caused by the drivers of the cars,

not the bikes.

The BEARS are loose at Doodle Dragon!

This bi-weekly challenge at Pike's Playground is

"Bear Minimum"!

To simplify, this means we ask that you make a
Clean and Simple

(CAS)

card that has a Doodle Dragon bear image somewhere
inside or out!

As a terrific new release, we have this little bathing beauty!
I made this card as just a basic, "Howdy, from vacay!" type message.

"Sand between my toes"....

This bear image can be found in Dustin's brand new releases!

It's hard to see, but her little bikini IS yellow with tiny ploka dots!

Here's my second card made for the challenge.

Gate fold card, simply decorated with a sweet sentiement, and a bit of cord...

Opens to this...

It's difficult to see in the photo, but my little bear hangs from the sides of the card, and swings freely inside when the card is opened.

Here's from a different perspective:

Have fun with this challenge!

We want to see all of your imaginative ideas!

Supplies used:

Kraft paper

Sentiment (front), My Favorite Things, "Spa Day"

Sentiment (inside), Inkadinkado, "Kid Quotes"

Bear image, "Doodle Dragons"

Trees, Ippity, "So This is Love"

Copics Markers

Jute cord



Wherever you go...

One of the challenges this card is for is the Unity Stamp challenge,

which requires you to use ONLY Unity/Ippity stamps.  I don't have very many, so finding some that would be appropriate for the "New Beginnings" theme was interesting.  However, I have a friend who will be moving out of the 48 states from a warm, sunny climate to one very different! I thought this would be a nice message to send. 

I used two of the Ippity's stamps sets, Quotes a 'la Happy (IPK-135),

and Authentic Man (IPK-132).  Yep, those little "blades os grass" are actually the design from Authentic man turned sideways and heat embossed in a mix of gold, orange, and yellow sparkle (Just like my sun)  I stamped and embosssed the sun a second time onto print paper and cut out the center so it would really pop out from behind the cloud. (Actually the Nesties Labels 14). The bluebird of happiness is cut from DCWV pattern paper, Songbird, so as not to use any other company's stamps!

I really like the CAS look of this card.

 I think my friend will be warmed by the sentiment of this one!

This card will also be entered at:
Pollycraft Monday Challenge (Warm it up!)
