Halloween Treat Buckets and SALE!

The wait is over! Halloween has arrived! I hope you've got your costume on and a big bowl of treats near the front door!

My card today features Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Treat Buckets. I wanted to fit all four buckets on my card so I decided to break the front panel into quarters using the Rounded Stitch Rectangle dies.

I adhered one bucket over each of the squares and then added a Greetings sentiment banner through the center. The Banner Greetings 4 die set has some new funky cut banners perfect for Halloween Greetings!

The finishing touch was a scatter of treats that are overflowing the buckets and a few sparkly gems!

I'm linking up to Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog where they're looking for Halloween/Fall designs!

All Halloween is on sale at Pretty Pink Posh too!

Scenic Kyoto BetterPress

Today I'm playing at We Love To Create blog challenge where Anything Goes Any Crafter World Wide. I'm playing along with a simple BetterPress Letterpress Plate design from Spellbinders called Scenic Kyoto.

This plate is available with a coloring stencil or can be used "as is" to make a clean letterpress design. If you're not familiar with letterpress its similar to foiling. You use a die cut, ink it and run it through your die cut machine. The ink is pressed into the plate for a elegant feel print. I used cotton paper with Ruby Red ink. If you run your hand across it you can feel the depression in the paper.

I chose red because when I think of Japan I think of their flag, or the red accents on a pagoda. TO make it a little more fussy I added a die cut gold Emerald Cut Label matt.

The finishing touch was a few gold enamel dots, and another matt or deep red to coordinate with the inked impression.

I think CAS is best with a letterpress design because you can make a whole stack of notecards quickly and they have such an elegant look and feel. I hope you find some time to play along.

Pink & Main Instahop & Giveaway!

It'a great day for a visit because we're celebrating the latest Pink & Main release with an Instagram Hop! We're bringing lots of snowy fun this time! We've got snowflakes and snowmen and general winter goodness. So pull on your parkas and take a look!

Today I'm playing with the Fun Winter Frames. The set is a big one! It has eight framed images and one sentiment. I colored mine with Copic makers and then decided on a color block background of pattern papers from the new Winter Garden.

I divided the card base in quarters and then used some zig zag borders to define the separate spaces before adding the little framed images with adhesive foam tape.

I added the die cut sentiment in the center of the design and then finally some glittery enamel dots from the Winter Garden pack designed to match the papers perfectly.

And now the part you've been waiting for...
