Hello All!
Today starts a new challenge at Scrapy Land Challenge blog: Steampunk. Admittedly, I had never made anything Steampunk before. It is not that I do not like the style because I think Steampunk is very cool- I just never thought I could do it. Alas, that is the fun thing about challenges: doing something new.
The new stamp from Quietfire is one of my new favorites...looks great on a Steampunk card!
First time really using the Inka-Gold. I may have to purchase a few more colors. :)
Overall, it was a neat experience making a Steampunk project. I may have to do this again!
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to seeing your Steampunk project at Scrapy Land!
Big Crafty Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Hello Crafters!
Last week's challenge at Totally Gorjuss was amazing! You would not believe all the gorgeous Christmas cards posted. There will be a lot of happy Christmas card recipients this year!
Starting today is a new Totally Gorjuss challenge: stars. There are so many fun ways to make paper projects with stars and I cannot wait to see all the entries!
For my DT card I thought I would do something different for me: a Halloween card. Earlier this week I made my first wedding card and now my first Halloween card. Call me a daredevil. ;)
The background paper came from various sheets of Graphic 45 paper pads: Place in Time, Steampunk Spells, Happy Haunting and Christmas Past. The purple background with stars came from the Christmas Past pad...so cute! The cat and spider stamps are Graphic 45's Halloween stamp set SC0579. (The spider stamp was too cool to not use! Fussy cutting was kinda tricky but well worth it!)
Black paper was die cut using Spellbinders Branching out for the base. Shimmer black card stock was die cut from Opulent Ovals to make the frame around the scared kitty. I applied Stickles as shown and made purple highlights on the cat as a reflection of the night sky.
On the bottom left corner I made a ribbon jumble and added a Halloween paper stamp.
This inside is a continuation of the outside with more Halloween delights!
Hope to see your star creation at Totally Gorjuss!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your comments! I really do appreciate them!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Hello (again) Crafteteers!
This is my third post today. You all probably think I am obsessed but I did not have plans to do three posts in one day! I went up into my craft room to clean up the mess after making the other two cards...and I came across this lonely white tag...and this scrap ribbon...and my distress inks and...well, you see where this is going. I ended up making a tag and using unused items in my work area. I think Martha would say "That's a good thing". So here are the materials used: Tim Holtz distress inks walnut stain and vintage photo, Tim Holtz distress stain antique linen, Tim Holtz stamp sets Boundless Flight and Steampunk.
Are you wondering where the cool car came from? Local custom stamp maker Briana Corr Scott.(http://www.brianacorrscott.com/brianacorrscott/home.html ) She sells her stamps at the Saturday market in Dartmouth at Alderney Landing. The stamps are very inexpensive...shockingly good price, actually. She does not have all her stamps online so if you like this stamp, drop her a line and ask for the sports car stamp you saw on Kathy Jo's blog.
Thanks for stopping by and I promise no more posts today! :)
Have a great week!
