Halloween Card | Krafty Chicks Challenge #731 - Anything Goes

 

Boo!

I'm sorry to say that it's my final challenge post with the gals over at the Krafty Chicks Challenge! My guest designer gig has been so much fun and I really appreciate being included with this great group of chicks for the past several months! My final project is a halloween collage card that blends together lots of my cherished spooky papers together for this ghostly winged vampire girl! This card is really sparkly and I love how the pearlized paint on the green ouija board piece illuminates her face with an unearthly glow!

Please head over to the challenge blog and let's see what you can create! And give the Chicks some love on their blogs as well!

Birthday Card | Krafty Chicks Challenge #729 - CAS

 


Hello!

Thanks for stopping by this week for another CAS Challenge over at the Krafty Chicks! This quick birthday card uses one of my favorite Ellen Hutson Sets - "Voices in My Head" with that giant speech bubble die and cute line drawing! All that I needed to add was a large word die cut and a teeny stamped sentiment to finish up the design! YAY!

Please stop over to see us at the Krafty Chicks Challenge this week for some clean & simple fun!

Be sure to head over to the Krafty Chicks' Blogs and leave them some love!

Christmas Card | Krafty Chicks Challenge #727 - Christmas


 Welcome to the "Throw Back Thursday" Edition - and we're going way, way back for this one the very first Christmas card I ever made in 2001!

My mother passed away in 2022 and my dad ended up selling/moving out of our family home of 56 years in 2023. He made sure that I got the large box that held the hundreds of handmade cards that I had given them over the past two decades. My mother had saved them all and it was such fun to look at each one and read all of notes I had written to them both over the years! Included in the collection was this Christmas card, the first one I ever made and still one of my favorites! It was made without most of the latest, greatest crafting tools/products I have today and just goes to show that a simple handmade card, means the world to the person who receives it! 

I hope you will join us this week over at the Krafty Chicks Challenge with your Christmas projects!

Thanks for joining me today and happy crafting! Rachelle

Halloween Card | Krafty Chicks Challenge #727 Stamps

 

Boo!

We are inching ever closer to my favorite card-making holiday...HALLOWEEN! So I took the opportunity to kick things off with these gorgeous gals for this week's Krafty Chicks' Stamp Challenge!


I used a large red rubber stamp for this card (it's probably over 15-years-old!) and stamped the retro ladies on white card stock and fussy cut them. I then stamped them again on two different orange card stocks and fussy cut out the dresses on each, which were then carefully pieced onto the white images. I stamped the skinny black witches hats, fussy cut each one and added a bit of glitter and orange rhinestones; these were then glued into place! 

I cut strips of coordinating patterned Halloween paper and adhered it to the front of a 5' x 7" card base, adding a piece of mini orange ric rac and a die cut yellow moon to set the spooky scene! The witches were popped up with foam tape and pressed into place on the card front. I gave the witch on the right a pumpkin scepter, sliding the pin under her fingers/into her hand and attached it with a glue dot on the back!  

I always look forward to stamp week and can't wait to see what you create! Be sure to head over to the Krafty Chicks' Blogs and leave them some love!
