Halloween bridge card #4

Happy monday!
And one more makes the blog!
I wanted to show you some ideas with the new dsp paper as well and this fun card design.  This is the last halloween one I promise!
I just felt like this paper was so cute and has so many cute little pieces to work with. 


There are so many other pieces I didn't even get to show you or 
use.  The tags are also part of the paper. 
Which one has been your favorite?
If you try one please send me a picture, love to see what you're making.

Halloween bridge card #3


Happy saturday!
Back with some more of the bridge card making.
This paper is beyond cute and so whimsical.



You can't help but make a cute card with all the cutouts
that are ready to slap right onto the card.
I keep using a bunch of my retired halloween 
greeting stamps as I feel the catalog doesn't have a lot
to pick from in terms of variety. 
So,  if you have the new stamps of course use them,
but if not, check out your retired stash.  
Always good to use what we have. 


Again, if you missed how to make this bridge card refer
to my post a few back to find the instructions. 
Have a fun weekend!

Halloween bridge card


Happy tuesday!
Here's a fun new card fold going around called the bridge fold.
You can use this card fold for any type of card or design you like.
I happen to choose Halloween! Are you not suprised?


I used the new dsp paper called "spooky sweet"


I added some glitter to the bubbling over cauldron.
Here's how this fold is made...


Cut your cardstock at 10' x 4 1/4"
score at each end at 2 1/4', fold each end


choose the coordinating dsp paper to go on each end of the card,
cut those two pieces at 2'x4' and attach to card as you see in pic.
Cut yourself a piece of white paper for the insert of the card,
it will be cut at 4' x 5 1/4'.
Now for the bridge piece, which in this picture is the orange and small white piece cut at 2' x 3 3/4'. layer them on top of each other.
Assemble your card and add your images and greetings.
Send me your pics!  I'd love to see what you do!
I am also going to try this fold with some Christmas cards, so I will be sharing those with you too later.
Have fun creating!

Masking card


Happy sunday!
How about a quick easy card this sunday morning?
I've used the basic beige cardstock and the night of navy ink. 



Fold your cardstock in half and using a post it note,
cut in half and center it on the card. 


Using a floral stamp set, any will do, start to stamp around the post it note which will create a box that will enable you to stamp your greeting within the box. 


How easy and pretty is this?
Now stamp the greeting inside the box. 


So easy!

Wedding details


What a special weekend!
It was our girl Shelby's and Matt's wedding day!
While we wait for the wedding photos, here
are a few of the details of the tablescape we created.
The above photo of her was right before heading down
to say "I do" to her man. 


friends of mine Lisa and Laura were the creatives
behind making the flowers on the table come to life.
They were incredible to say the least!



We had envisioned a serpentine table and it with
a lot of help we were able to set it up. 




The taupe tablecloths were a new color that you don't typically see
at weddings, but since we were going with a fall wedding,
they looked great.



So thankful for the many hands and feet that is took
to pull this wedding off at our home.
It was a HUGE undertaking, but we did it!
Thank you for all that shared their gifts and helped out in soooo many ways.  We are so thankful!

Look at these cute temporary tattoos that I rubbed onto 
candles for some spooky fun! 


This couldn't get any easier,
Just buy some halloween temporary tattoos
to transfer to.

Start by cutting out your image,

      

Hold it in place while you take a dampen a sponge to 
transfer the images.



wait just a minute to remove,  There you can see how cute it is!

You can also choose a fall theme too.
