Perfectly timed Halloween Edition 2022

 We've made it to October 1 and this will begin my 2022 cards.  I made so many cards over the course of 2021 that several of them went out the 2022 year.  I did have some new ones, though.  This card is actually still in my stash.  It was a technique I tried to modify from one of Sam Calcott's tutorials, but it didn't work quite like I wanted.  I like the finished effect, but from the back it's a hot mess.  The shaker element is also very bulky and would need hand delivered.  Maybe why I still have it.  All images were cut from Cricut DS.

Back to 2020 Halloween Edition

 So apparently, I missed this card from 2020.  It was a "look at the scraps left on my desk and here's what I did" .  Seriously, these various die cuts were scattered on my desk and I threw them together for a pretty quick card.

How about a franken-dog

 More cuteness...can you stand it? As you can see, I added twine to most of these cards.  One day, I just had a coloring session with these stamps and then I sat down another day and created cards.

Two vampire dogs, Two ways

 As I said, I enjoyed coloring these costumed critters to give them different looks.  These two cards show this well.  The one that says you're fangtastic we gave to Lillian's amazing dental hygienist.  I thought I was so clever.

Haunted Fireplace

 This fireplace die set is a spellbinders holiday die set for Christmas.  You can see I dirtied it up and combined some Whimsy dies to spook it up!  I thought it turned out so cute.

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.

Slimline friendly ghosts

 This card uses a stamp set from Whimsy.  There's a little word play in the sentiments, and I purchased them specifically for making my uncle a card.  What I didn't realize until it arrived was one of the ghosts is making a very impolite gesture.  I couldn't help but laugh at myself...something I never would have purchased had I realized.  Pay attention to the detail's friends...LOL #buyersremorse.  I used the non-naughty ghosts and added a soft dimensional spider to the scene.  I can't remember the maker of the die set I used but I love the details in the edges.
