I am not ready to give up making Halloween projects just yet so I figured this week is my last chance to create more cards and a tag. I’m back today to share with you my design team projects for Not2ShabbyShop, showcasing MFT Stamps Monster Love stamp set and dies.
Below is the photo and I have shared a process video for one of the cards. I have also listed and linked the supplies below. Have an amazing day!
Here’s the video:

Fall is in the air! Don’t you just love the short days, comfort food, colorful leaves, sweater weather and pumpkin spice? I got so inspired today by a stamp set by Newton’s Nook Designs called “Fall-ing For you” that I decided to create a fall card. This card is also my entry for the new Simon Says Stamp Challenge – Autumn.
I started out by stamping my image on Neenah Solar White card stock with my stamping tool, and colored my images using my Copic markers.
I went ahead to die-cut my card panel and mat using my new favorite die by KatScrappiness – the “Double Stitched Rectangle Nesting Dies”. These nesting dies are so versatile that I am finding myself using them in all of my paper crafting projects. I also distressed my smaller rectangle piece using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink by Tim Holtz, and used my watercolor brush to sprinkle water on my card stock to give it a distressed look.
I wanted to have some fall leaves for my card and so I decided to use my Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves die, die-cutting a bunch of fall leaves in different colors, including some vellum.
Here is my card design for today. Don’t you just love fall? I love the simplicity of this card and I hope I have inspired you today to create something beautiful, or just go outside, take a leisure-walk, and enjoy the fall weather! Have an amazing day!

Even though I’m not ready for Christmas yet, I can’t help but get excited about playing with this new stamp set by MFT Stamps called Beast Friends. These Yeti images are so adorable!
I shared a YouTube video on how I created the first card if you’d like to check it out.
The second project is just an addition since I’ve already colored a few of those adorable Yetis. I wanted to create a cute Christmas tag. What do you think? Are you “Yeti” for Christmas?
Supplies I’ve used are listed below:
Hello everyone! I’m back today to share a very special card that I have made for a very special cause. Becca Cruger (a.k.a. Damsel of Distressed) is hosting an online event called “The Hop to Stop – Raising Awareness for Domestic Violence”.
Purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month. The idea behind this is to create a card that is purple. Another rule is to comment to at least the 3 cards before yours in the link-up. You will then be eligible for some cool prizes.
To know more about the details of the hop and to participate, please click on this link http://damselofdistressedcards.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-hop-to-stop-2016-raising-awareness.html. Becca had shared her story on her blog post and it is a huge honor to be a part of this cause.
Here is my card. I believe anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I hope we all join together to raise awareness to this great cause, and have a wonderful day!

I am back today to share with you some Halloween projects that I made using a bunch of dies and card-making supplies from KatScrappiness.Com.
October has always been my favorite time of the year to start my crafting for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. With the days getting shorter, I want to keep myself busy and create hand-made projects to give as gifts.
The first vellum LED tea light card with the skeleton was actually made a few days ago, as I wanted to display it on top of my mantle with the rest of my Halloween D.I.Y.’s.
The second card is my favorite. When I first saw this Cheery Lynn Designs Witch’s skirt die at KatScrappiness, I immediately thought of this design for a card. I thought it is pretty hilarious!
For the sake of time, I am going to keep this blog post short and show you the process video for the Witch’s Skirt/Cauldron Card and the cute Frankie Pillow Treat Box.
I hope you like the projects. Have an amazing day!
Supplies Used:
We are finally launching this amazing stamp set at www.jessicalynnoriginal.com called “Live The Life You Dream About ~ Spirit Animal”. This is a little bit of a change from Jessica’s artwork in the past, but I am so in-love with this set!
I love the dream catcher image on this set. My daughter and I love dream catchers and I have them all over my house. I even have them in my car (no joke!). The sentiments that Jess included in this stamp set are all so inspirational.
For the vellum card, I first stamped the image using Versamark ink and heat-embossed it with my white embossing powder. Once it dried and cool to the touch, I turned the vellum upside down and colored the image from the back with my Copic markers. I used R83 and R85 for the dream catcher. Once I was happy with the colors, I proceeded to die-cut my card base and the decorative scallop trims using a light tan card stock. I wanted my dream catcher to be the focus of the card. I die-cut the “Believe” script sentiment using Neenah solar white card stock, and adhered it on the front of my card. I finished the design by adding a pink vellum bow, and pearls to the dream catcher.
For the second card, I wanted the focus of the card to be all about my spirit animal. I have always believed that my spirit animal is an Owl. What better way to showcase the stamp set and Jessica’s digital stamp of Brentwood Owl by combining them both! I altered the stamp a little bit so I can adhere it to Brentwood. I wanted my card scene to look like an enchanted forest so I used my Birch Tree Window Die from Simon Says Stamp. I think using the glittered paper behind it made it more magical!
I hope you like my cards today, showcasing Spirit Animal stamp set by JessicaLynnOriginal. If you would like to purchase this stamp set, please head on over to: https://www.jessicalynnoriginal.com/jessicalynnoriginal-live-the-life-you-dream-about-spirit-animal-clear-stamp-set/

I am super excited to join the Fall Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop. I love this community and I can’t wait to see everyone’s creations. Thank you, Amy Tsuruta and the rest of the amazing team at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog. You guys rock!
For my card today, I used the digital stamp by http://www.jessicalynnoriginal.com. This digital stamp is free for download during this Hop. Isn’t Brentwood adorable?! I didn’t want to create a card with the traditional fall colors, which is why I tried the color combination on the card below.
If you are wondering where to get the amazing sequins that I used for my card, I got them from http://www.katscrappiness.com/?aff=21 Kat has over 200+ (unique) sequins and confetti mixes for every occasion. MY favorites are the Halloween, Fall and Christmas mixes!
I am off to Dubai tomorrow for some much-needed R&R. I hope you all have an amazing weekend! Happy fall everyone!
