Halloween Fright Night

For this weeks Art Impressions challenge - Handmade Holidays - I am featuring the Art Impressions Quivery Mini Shakers.   This stamp set include dies for the pig and duck to make them pop up or wobble for a fun interactive halloween card.  It also includes dies for the bats, a spider and a pumpkin.  The fence dies are sold separately.  I created the background using distress oxide inks and a spritz of water which was a new technique for me.  I had a great time creating this one.

As with all of the AI stamps, I love the expressions on the character's faces.  Priceless! and so darn cute. 

Hope you enjoy my card!  Have a happy day!

Addicted to Dies

  Art Impressions is having a challenge this week - "To Die For" - and, I don't know about you, but I am addicted to dies.  I had a great time creating this card for their challenge.  Problem is, I couldn't stop die cutting and adding more to the card.  Hope I didn't go overboard, but I sure think it's cute.  I used the Art Impressions alphabet dies, Castle cubbies, double stitch rectangle (for the mini window cutouts) and also the tag die (for the saying).  I love these cute little dragons and unicorns from the Castle cubbies stamp set.  Their faces are just too adorable and make me smile.

  The alphabet dies are such a great way to add pizzazz to a card.  These letters are just the right size for a card or layout.  I triple die cut each letter and stacked them to add dimension.

  Hope you enjoy my card and it brings you a smile!
