Trick or Treat card!

 

Hi friends!

I'm back on the Crackerbox Stamps blog today

with a super fun Trick or Treat card!

For today's card, I stamped Ghost Flying onto the top sky corners

and the Halloween Kids on bottom panel.

The faux watercolor background was created by smooshing

ink and water onto the cardstock.

I let the colors dry and then stamped directly onto the paper.

Here's another look

AND a reminder that there is a 50% off sale!

Check it out here!

If you'd like to do some holiday and Christmas shopping,

there's a sale going on right now for past hoilday stamps.

Wow!

Thanks for stopping by!

Riley and Company - New Stamp Release, Day 1!

Hi friends!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! 

 We start school in a week - eeek!

 Still lots to do before school starts again ...

But one thing I am super excited about this week

 is the new stamp release from Riley and Company!

  And even better, there is a new stamp in town!

This week is ...

   Inspiration Week with the Design Team

and all week, the Design Team will be sharing creations they have made 

using the new stamps!

For my first card, I'm using 2 new stamps - one is Smiling Burt,

the newest cutie in the Riley line

and one of the new FunnyBones ...

 I can totally relate to this stamp!  Hee hee!

For my second card, I'm using one of the inspirations stamps

and nestled it into a softer hues of paper and card design

 to let the sentiment be the focal point.

Such a beautiful message ♥

 

 To recap, there are 42 Funny Bones stamps; 11 Inspiration stamps

 and 4 brand new images for a new character called Burt (the cat!).  Even better,  these stamps are available to purchase on the Riley and Company website now!

We'll be showcasing all 53 new stamps all week from today until Friday,

so I hope you can come back and peek at all the fun-ness and inspiration!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Shiver Me Timbers!

 

Sail ho! Avast ye! 

 If ye be looking for some mighty fine fun and costume party attire for Halloween then ye've come to the right starboard blog, mate! 

 

Shiver me timbers!

Did you know September 19 was "Talk like a Pirate Day"?

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr! ♥

Imagine walking around all day being pirates? LOL!

 

It's also time for Riley and Company's brand new challenge for the week
 - Halloween -
 and it's brought to us by Joy.

Not a huge fan of Halloween, but when you have kids, it's par for the course
that Harvest fun is going to sneak in :)
I do get a kick out of seeing the kids pick or make a costume
 and go Trick or Treating.   I LOVE passing out the candies and seeing all the little costumes coming up to the door!

 

So, I went the non-traditional Halloween route w/ my card -

after all, dressing up in costume is (mostly!) for Halloween :)

This is Captain Hook Riley, paired with one of the newer FunnyBones sentiments.

I think this paper is a really old SU! stack - it fit :)

The inside of the card has bones as well.

 

 

Yarrrrr!  Me hearties, be sure to add yer cards to thee challenge blog.

Yo-ho-ho!

Ye can find it right here!

 

Oh! And if you want to link it to a gallery like SCS,

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
