The paper is a couple of years old and I'm not sure who makes it. I used green card-stock as my base and some striped paper with a strip of the skull paper and black card stock. I rounded the corners using a corner rounder and TA DAAA! you have a cute little ghost card!

A Final Fang-tastic Blog Hop - Day 3

Hello again everyone! Happy Sunday and welcome back to the third and final day of a Fang-tastic Blog Hop! This was my very first hop and I got set back a little but I was sooo, so excited to be a part of such a wonderful group of girls! I love them all, they are just fabulous! Now, if you just got here from Bee (BeLinda’s Blog) then COOL! If not you should head over to Alyssa’s blog at (My Thoughts Exactly) and start there! We have had a really nice hop this weekend

Here's the lineup from the previous days

Cher (Me)

Sponsors are The Digi Bistro, My Thoughts Exactly, Trendy Twine and SVGs by Bee

My third project for this hop is a little treat box. I used the little bat from The Digi Bistro's - Pick Your Poison SVG Collection. The papers are from Die Cuts With a View, one of my favorite paper companies!

My little box is cut in black paper and embellished with DCWV - Ghost & Goblins paper stack. I inked the edges of the moon behind the little Bat and added a little touch of bling on the black strip.

Oh, the border strip - that was cut using one of my punches that I haven't used in over two years. Ever since SVGs came along there doesn't seem to be a big need for punches anymore.

I also used a label shape from The Pick Your Poison set. The little BEWARE sentiment is by the very sweet Alyssa of My Thoughts Exactly and the Host of this awesome blog hop! Finally for the finishing touch, I used Halloween Twine from Trendy Twine.
This wraps up Day 3 of the blog hop. You will have three chances to enter each day this week even after the hop is over. If you didn't get a chance to join over the weekend, you still can comment under the posts for the hop for your chance to win! I have the same rules as yesterday. This is all you need to do:

Fang-tastic Blog Hop - Day 2

Hey Scrapping Friends! Welcome to Day two of the Fang-tastic Blog Hop. So here I am making a super, super late post for The Fang-tastic Blog Hop :( I have days where sometimes things just don't go as planned. This time I was delayed due to my laptop charger and battery dying on me. I had to make a dash to the Apple Store so they can replace my charger. By the time I made it home, I had to prepare dinner. Oh well, enough with my with my troubles. Better late than never, right?

If you just got here from Bee (BeLinda’s Blog) then you are right on point! If not then head over to Alyssa’s blog at (My Thoughts Exactly) and start there! We are going to Hop the entire weekend so we dare you to be there, he he!

Here is the lineup from Day 1

Want to know what I made for Day 2 of this fabulous blog hop? I created a simple 3 -fold card. I used The Digi Bistro - Halloween Town SVG Collection to create a little spooky card you can use as a gift card holder. All you need to do is take a glue dot and place it on the back of the card and stick it in the middle section of the fold.
Here I show the front of the card with the little ghost over the stone. The fence is a Martha Stewart punch.

This little guy was very quick and easy to make. I used my Tim Holtz black soot around the R.I.P. stone and added glitter for highlights on the ghost! The sentiment is by My Thoughts Exactly.


This wraps up Day 2 of the blog hop. You will have three chances to enter each day this week even after the hop is over. I have the same rules as yesterday. This is all you need to do:

1. FIRST Become a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this post telling me what you think of my creation.

So on with the show! I made this spooky card inspired by K. Andrews’ Vintage Halloween card layout. I created the background paper from scratch and used the torn paper techniques to give the bottom a rough edge.



A piece of vellum paper was used to highlight the frame and cat as my main display. I also created the orange paper and used the large Polka Dots clear stamps from Paper Trey Ink. Next I made and placed a cute little stickpin to push down into the silk and sheer bows.


The frame, cat, pumpkin, and spooky sentiment are all from The Digi Bistro’s Halloween Town SVG Collection. The ‘Black Cat Crossing’ stamp is from My Thoughts Exactly – Ghostly Greetings clear stamps.


I have some great Blog Candy to give away! I have the Fright Night clear stamp set from My Thoughts Exactly to giveaway, along with a $20 Gift Certificate to The Digi Bistro store!
