Magnolia and Basic Grey Halloween Card

I've had this cute Tilda by Magnolia stamp for a couple years now and realized I haven't used it! I was looking through my papers to use for this card and found this Basic Grey pack of 6 x 6 papers and look at what I found! These spooky trees with bats hanging in them, how perfect! The moon and bat stamp behind Tilda is also a Magnolia stamp. I ended up making this card 5 1/2 square so I could use all of this piece of designer paper and not ruin the look of the trees and bats. Then I had to do something on the inside since I used black card stock and my son has this cute bat punch so I added it in. I love this card, it was soooo hard to part with but I made it for someone and told myself from the beginning I couldn't keep it. I could always make another one :)

Happy Halloween "Batty Bat" Tilda

 

I purchased several cute Halloween Magnolia stamps last year in thoughts of making some cute cards this year. I haven't done it! Ugh! So I pulled out this one, haven't used it before and well she is kind of cute :) I used the Magnolia moon with bats stamp first and then ended up (rather than masking and that whole mess) I stamped her, colored and cut her out and put the image on pop-dots. I used chalks to color but felt that the purple just needed some pizzazz so I pulled out my twinkling H2O's and colored the purple in with them. Very sparkly! It really added the life this card needed. The paper is my favorite Halloween paper set and it is by Nikki Sivils. The ribbon is actually glittery, in black and it looks good in person but here it doesnt show the sparkle. Oh and I cant forget, I used my son's "batty bat" (his name for bats!) punch for the bats behind the main image. I think I have now used it more than him, lol! Thanks for looking and Happy Halloween!

Lilac Tilda

I have been a bad girl! I haven't posted a new card in a week. I have several things to share just not a lot of time to write all about them. You know how that goes I am sure! This is a card I made for our hostess of the Magnolia Card Kit Swap on SCS, Angela. She has been a wonderful hostess and I wanted to make something pretty for her. I love this designer paper by Stampin' Up, the colors are so pretty! Yes, another easel card, I really like these. It was fun to create and I hope you like it and I hope she liked it! I will keep this short so maybe I will have time to post more this week. Thanks for stopping by!
