Jeepers Creepers - 2 Months 'til Christmas!

Final theme for the month on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is Jeepers Creepers.  

Love the purple and green combo using papers and colors from the Jeepers Creepers kit for a Holiday card.  The trees were created using the die cuts and stamps from the Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts bundle; Emerald ink and Sea Glass cardstock, and a gold-embossed star for the top.  And the sentiment is included with the Very Merry stamp set.

Pumpkin Wishes

Had a lot of fun playing with the Autumn Wishes stamp set.  It comes with these two great pumpkin images and the two sentiments.  For a perfectly-cut pumpkin, use the coordinating shape on the Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  

You may notice that the two cards are virtually identical, just using different papers and the slightly different stamps available in Autumn Wishes.  For the top card, I decided to play with the vivid colors of Jeepers Creepers papers.  And was so pleased with how the card turned out, that I re-created it using some woodgrain papers in the Oh Deer! packet. This pumpkin is actually embossed using gold embossing powder, which gives it a nice metallic sheen.  It is really interesting to see how completely different the cards look using such drastically different color schemes.  Yet the layout and dimensions of the two cards are exactly the same.  

With the Fall season upon us, one of this month's themes on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is "woodgrain".

Isn't she cute?  This sweet little girl is from the True Love stamp set and was colored by daubing ink with a cotton swab.  Three different papers with geometric shapes from the Jeepers Creepers packet were used to create this simple card.  The card sketch is a rotated version of pattern #22 from Make It From Your Heart volume 1.

Happy "Monster" Birthday

Adorable little monsters to wish someone a not-so-scary birthday.  Inspired by Color My Heart Color Dare #213 which uses the colors in the Jeepers Creepers paper packet, the sentiment and "sprinkles" stamps are from the Birthday Sparkles set.  The simple card (and versatile) card design is #20 from the Make It From Your Heart volume 1.
