Lisa’s Handmade Cards

Sorry about the lack of post yesterday. I always think I’ll have time and am bummed when I don’t. Here I am making time today while my family is all in bed. I have so many challenges I want to enter this week I have to get to it! I’m entering this card into several challenges:

My Time To Craft: Halloween colours

Stamptacular Sunday: spooktacular

ABC Challenge: “F” is for flying

Cute Card Thursday: spook fest

Stamp with Fun: Halloween

Cupcake Craft Challenge: things that go bump in the night

Crafty Creations Challenges: All Hallow’s Eve

The witch stamp and sentiment are by Whipper Snapper. The spider stamps are from Studio G. Love them! The patterned paper is a double sided cardstock from Heidi Grace Designs. The torn black core’dinations cardstock is embossed with Swiss Dots. I know, I know, I do have other embossing folders. I even tried a few but liked my favorite swiss dots folder best!

I was planning on holding out until my new markers showed up but I didn’t want to miss out on the first challenge over at Practical Scrappers. The challenge is to use at least 5 eyelets on a project. I used 6 eyelets on the front and 4 on the inside. I’ve been known to over do it on the eyelets so I tried not to go too crazy. I went through an eyelet addiction a while back that gave me plenty to choose from. I’m still not fully recovered.

The sick bug stamp is from Whipper Snapper, my favorite stamp company. The get well soon sentiment is from Studio G. The patterned paper is by s.e.i. called  citrus kick- lemon zest. I used some paper raffia, orange stickles, and All Natural Accent flowers as well.

My sweet sister-in-law and I placed my first order to Whipper Snapper Design last night. I can’t wait for them to come!! I sold at least a fourth of my stamp collection so that I could update my collection. It was well worth it. The shipping costs there are ridiculous so hold out until you have some cash to spend. I bought this particular Whipper Snapper at Addicted to Rubber Stamps awhile back. They aren’t carrying it at the moment but have plenty of other adorable stamps (including new Whipper Snappers). If you take a short survey they give you a code for 50% off one stamp or 15% off your entire order right now too. Yes, I’ve been looking at stamps a lot lately…
