Halloween is Sweet!

Hi! It's Beverly, aka Artsystamper.

It's time for the  26th challenge at the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog! 

The theme is 

Halloween Colors

The talented design team has created some creative inspiration projects, so be sure to check them out.

This adorable Candy Apple card is what I created.

It was created with the Sweet Spirits Stamp Set

 and the Williamsburg Memories Paper Pack. 

You can simply print out what you need. AND you can print as many as you want!

I printed the background in Gimp, at 4 by 5 1/4. So easy to create with these digitals!  I love I added the sentiment by punching out the sentiment with a circle punch.

The card went together easily when I used one of the color images for my focal point. Of course you can also color the apple any color you like by printing the line image. You will see this when you visit the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog. Be sure to enter your Halloween projects!

I finally added some antique glass glitter, twine and acrylic drops to the card.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

This is My Tic Tac Toe!

 

Hello! It's time for another Joy of Sets Challenge!

This tic tac toe is my design! So excited.

My card is created with a new set and paper pack in my shop, TheArtsystamperShop on Etsy.

The Cat's Meow Digital Paper Pack

and 

Cat's Meow Digital Stamp Set

Digitals are So Great because you can print what you need at the size you  need.

This is a slim line card, so my images are printed fairly large. The set is made up of images of my two cats, Nick and JJ.

 

I love this  challenge, because it truly is a CHALLENGE. I have found that it takes me out of my comfort zone, and that is how to learn, my friends!

So stop on over at The Joy of Sets Challenge Blog and enter! You may find yourself as a guest designer sometime!

 I am entering the following challenges with  my card:

Crafts Galore Encore Sponsored by Artsystamper!

Hello!

It's time for another challenge over at Crafts Galore Encore. This time our wonderful sponsor is

Yours Truly!

I am offering the stamp set of your choice from my Etsy Shop as a prize to the random winner of this challenge.

I chose to use an image from my, Sweet Spirits digital stamp set. The set is available in color as well as line images. This is a picture of the, Print and Go color PDF. Just print it and use the images right away!

The card is A2 size. 

The background digital is available for FREE on The Artsystamper Addiction Facebook Page. Simply join and the freebies are yours to use! 

I added one of the sentiments from the set digitally, also the background candies. I then changed the color of the sentiment by manipulating the color changer in Open Office (a free download), where I was creating the card and its elements to print and cut. 

The candies and bag were printed as well. I used dimensionals to pop up the bag and front candies. The red candy was coated with dimensional glue by Glitters Galore. I love how it dries clear. The background was then inked around the edges with Distress Ink and  layered onto a brown cardstock base.

Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DTs wonderful designs. 

We'd love to see your creations.

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

That's all for now...have FUN!
