A vintage Halloween greeting card!

Good morning! Sorry I've been MIA on my blog this week. It was a super busy week, and then I went out of town this weekend to visit my nephews. :) But...I'm back today with a "vintage" style Halloween card!

This is a standard A2 sized card cut from PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock. I also used some Black and Vintage Cream cardstock from PaperTrey Ink. The pattern paper is from the Authentique Enchanted Collection 6x6 paper stack.

The vintage image is from a digital collage sheet called Haunted Bingo Cards I found on Etsy through the Iralamija shop. I printed the images out on American Crafts white textured cardstock with my Epson Workforce printer. I distressed the edges with the Zutter Distrezz-it-all, and then matted it on some black cardstock which was also distressed. 

This SUPER cute little bow is made from the 3 Girl Jam Mistletoe Crinkle Ribbon. I just created a double bow and then glue down the ends of the bows to make the additional loops. :) A black button and some hemp twine finished it off! It's kind of a non-traditional Halloween color, but it matches the hat in the image, and I think it came out perfect!

That's it for me today! But don't forget to head on over to My Creative Time to check out some new 3-D projects!

My Creative Time :: Thinking of You

Good morning! Well, the week is starting to wind down. I hope that it has treated you all well! Today I have another super quick post to share with you.

I made this super sweet thinking of you card for one of my fellow DT sisters last month. Yes, it's taken me a little while to actually get it posted. :) I just wanted to let her and her kiddos know that I was thinking about them. 

I didn't add too much to the card because I just LOVE the pattern on this Authentique paper. The colors are amazing. I did add some stitching with my Janome sewing machine. I think I am getting a little better at it...practice makes perfect, right?
