Halloween Edition 2021 Another witchy cat

 This card went to my mom.  It is a mini slimline.  I love the change of color I did to the kitty.  Again, switching up the colors to get a different look.  

Halloween for my Little friend P 2021

 This little card came together quickly for my sweet little friend, P.  She has a dog and I enjoy sending her cards throughout the year.  She also has a dog, so I like to send cards with dogs.  I write her very simple letters and hope she gets a kick out them.  

Halloween Edition 2021 for my long time besties

 I have two, dear friends that I meet with once a month.  They have been there for me through thick and thin.  I like to make their cards similar to each other, you'll see that in coming posts.  As I said previously, I only make cards for the same people each year.  I had picked up this very small spellbinder stamp set on clearance in my quest to build my Halloween stash (which, by the way, fits in a tiny basket in craft room).   

I heat embossed this hat several times to get a very dimensional look.  I love heat embossing; it NEVER gets old.  I used a gold, glitter paint pen to color the buckle.  I stamped and cut the candy pieces and adhered to a mini slimline card base.  In the second card, I used the hat to stamp a background and added a clay heart to finish the design.  I enjoyed how both cards turned out and I know the girls loved them.

Thank you

 I had been playing around with my three scrapbook.com inks doing some ink blending on a stencil. Those did not turn out to my satisfaction.  So, as not to waste the ink on my sponges, I just swiped them onto a panel of card stock I had on my desk.  It sat on my desk a few days and I figured I could make a card out of it, but just wasn't sure what to do.  Then, as I was scrolling through Facebook I happened to scroll past a post by Amy R and all I saw really was the rainbow and hearts.  It was just a glance, but that put my mind in gear.  This card was totally inspired by her card.  I have followed her work for years and just love it.  It wasn't until I watched her video a few days later that I realized how much I replicated her design. Sort of.  Different mediums, but same concept.  I am using my card as a thank you for a friend.  Thanks, Amy R for your constant inspiration.   As I stated my card is ink blended with three primary colors making the rainbow.  I splattered with gold watercolor paint and added a variety of gold glitter hearts. I  stacked three thanks die cuts and covered with shimmer brush pen and added a gold heat embossing sub sentiment. My card is a mini slimline.

Hap-bee Birthday

 This is actually very similar to a card I made a few years ago.  A friend of mine wanted the original immediately.  She recently asked me reproduce the card for another family member.  This is a mini slimline.  I used Cricut DS to cut the honeycomb background and beehive.  The bees ( from the Stamps of Life) I stamped, colored, and fussy cut,  added glossy accents to one set of wings and diamond stickles to the other wings.  I used scrapbook.com black pops of color to make the bee trails. The hearts are candy hearts from a stamp company, but I've had them so long I cannot remember.
