Spooky Night

      I was in the mood to clear the clutter off my crafting table and got a good start by grabbing the "round file" and scooping tiny scraps into it.  Then I found some larger scraps and didn't want to toss them out because, who knows, they might be exactly what I needed for a particular size die.  I debated that with myself for a minute and then decided to prove to my "toss everything" side just how valuable they could be.  Next thing you know I was making this Halloween card and everything on it was cut from a left over scrap, including the orange background.  :-D  

      BTW, my craft table still needs to be cleared off !

     Dies I used:  1. Tree/Fence/Cat - Die-Versions; 2. Flying Witch - Yvonne Creations; 3. Bats - Impression Obsession; 4.  Moon - QuicKutz    Some pieces were cut more than once in order to add a different color to one part of the die cut, e.g. the cat, the witch's hat, and the straw of the broom.  The tree/fence piece has an embossed 'waffle pattern' texture though it's a bit hard to see in the photo.

Broom Rides

     What's the first thing that happens when new crafting supplies arrive in the mail?  We sit right down and make something with them, right?  Well, I had ordered some new dies and they were waiting for me when I got home which gave me an excuse to do crafting (instead of doing house work and a load of laundry) and this is the result.

     This one is all die cuts and papers so it was really quick and easy.  The card base is made from purple CS which I ran through my "Linen" embossing folder.  The black witch is done with a die from Yvonne Creations and I also used it on the orange frame so the image is inlaid into the frame instead of being adhered on top of it.

     The pumpkins were created with a die from Die-mensions.  I used Fiskars corner punches on the orange frame, then dug through my Halloween stash for the dp with the spiders and web.  The sentiment came from an old card kit and it seemed perfect for the witch on her broom.

     Oh, yes, the bat -- it was cut from charcoal gray CS with a punch which is so old the brand name has worn off.
