Happy Hauntings boot fun!!

Happy Haunting cards
Good evening crafty friends. I have finally been able to make some cards the last coule of days.  I borrowed my sisters Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I saw a couple cards while surfing the net that had the witches boot decorated and it got me in the mood to make a couple cards, even though it is not Fall yet.lol.  I made these 2 cards using Close To My Heart papers, 3 Girl Jam Ribbon, Bo Bunny Gems, Twine and button, Xyron Create a Sticker, Close to my heart Stamps,and inks.



Then after I made thes cards, I got to thinking they would be cute, as regular dress shoe, evven though the toe tips are a little long and pointy.lol, so here is what I came up with...  




So...what do you think?? does it work.lol

Hope you like my post, have a great night, I am off to make a few more, I already have 3 more boots made up, just need the cards.

card makin weekend

Good evening my friends, today was yet another rainy day. I think I am going to sprout mushrooms soon, I wish some of this rain would go out west where it is needed and let us dry out.
Well this weekend I made a few cards and had such fun. first I mad a birthday card for my sister who loves owls.



I used the Stampin Up Owl punch , so I used my Xyron Create A sticker to run all the pieces through, to make it easy.

Next, I wanted to make a card and gift bag set using the Graphic 45 Secret garden collection, here is what I came up with!
card

gift bag


and next....I need to restock on sympathy cards and wanted to try out the new Martha Stewart deep punch I just got...and I used one of the 3 D flowers I made.

And lastly I did a wobble card with a Peachy Jeen face.  the flower wobbles, I did a short video of the card in action, not sure what wobbled more, my filming or the card.lol so here is a pic of just the card.
