  Hello!  This is June Houck with a little Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration.  Today I played with my newest purchases:  Echo Park  "Chillingsworth Manor" papers and sticker element and a Carta Bella "All Hallow's Eve" glazed brad (Carta Bella is a sister company to Echo Park.)  I added a bit of Twinery "Honeydew" twine to accent the green in the sticker.

   I enjoy choosing a sticker as my focal point, mounting the sticker on card stock, then popping it up on foam tape.

I love the elegance of the papers in the "Chillingsworth Manor" collection.  Have you added them to your cart yet?

Happy Thursday!

Boo Turtle


Sorry this is going up late! Court from Court's Crafts here! I got SUPER bad pink eye and super bad light sensitivity. I have been in basically a dark room for days and am trying to write this with sunglasses on and only one eye open. haha. I'm quite a sight! 

Anyway, here is my card using the September kit!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit!!! It's awesome. 

The only things not from the kit were the Glossy Accents that I used on the fence, the Stickles (she has the black, but it's not up on the site. Just email her if you would like to purchase it!), the Cricut Cartridge and the Bo Bunny Double Dot paper  - all of which (besides the Cricut Cart) you can get a Shop Pumpkin Spice! :) Just click on the words for the links to the products!

Designer's tip: Don't be afraid to use Stickles. I used the black to outline the hat, his cheeks, and his tummy lines. I used two different colors on the witches hat to create a more shadow effect and add interest. 

Have a beautiful day!!! :)

Carta Bella and Challenge Reminders

Hello Everyone,

Happy Tuesday!

Can you believe we are in the 3rd week of September already?!  Wow.

The new Carta Bella "Christmas Day" and "Merry & Bright" are live in the store now.

We also have their new Designer Cardstock.  These are gorgeous premium quality papers.  I was skeptical, then I took them out of the box and wow.  80# cardstock, beautiful linen-like texture and the colors are amazing for bases or mats.

Hedge Hogs Halloween


Shop Pumpkin Spice September Kit-Card

Welcome to my design day at Shop Pumpkin Spice. I just love this card and this Glittery Orange paper from the September kit! I want more of it!

Image Stamp is from the Critter Fright Penny Black Transparent Stamp set. I have been wanting these hedgehogs forever! Just ask my friend Justine! I think they are stinkin' cute and when you color them with copic  markers or promarkers they are even harder to resist!

Finished card size is 5.5 x 5.5
I stamped the image twice and cut out the hedgehogs and applied foam tape and mounted over the top of the other image for added dimension. SO fun!

Other tools used:
We R Memory Keepers Corner chomper
Spellbinders nest abilities scallop oval and oval.

Have a great Monday!
