Color Dare Challenge #166

Tomorrow is Halloween and the colors for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare best reflects it:

I used paper from the Nevermore Paper Packet for the pumpkin. The Black Chevron is from the retired Fundamentals Paper Collection. The file is from SVG Cuts. I added a flower that I made using White Daisy Cardstock, inked with Sweet Leaf Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The flower center is from Nevermore Assortment. I added some tulle for the witch's hat.

Color Dare Challenge # 165

We have a beautiful Gothic color combination this week at Color My Heart Color Dare:

I had to use the Steampunk Scoundrels stamp set once again for this card. I stamped the images with Ruby, Slate and Black Exclusive Inks stamp Pads. I layered the White Daisy cardstock on Whisper Fundamentals paper (retired). I added a Slate Diagonal ribbon and Black Crystals flourishes, both of which are available on the while supplies last section for my embellishments.

Nevermore...Color My Heart Color Dare Blog Challenge #164

We are featuring the Nevermore Paper Packet with pear as an optional color for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare:

I love everything Steampunk and was doubly excited when Close To My Heart released Nevermore. I knew I had to make a haunted cottage with it! I used Black Paper Cardstock for my base and inked it up with White Daisy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. I inked the edges of the designer paper with Cocoa Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The windows had vellum under it. The roof was stamped with images from Steampunk Scoundrels. Now all my cottage needs is an electronic tealight and it's all set for Halloween! We are looking forward to seeing what you've created at Color My Heart Color Dare!

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #163

We are featuring even more warm colors for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare!

The card base was made using Kraft cardstock. The fox from Cricut Artistry cut at 2 1/2" was the perfect focal point for this card. I added some Sparkles Clear Assortments colored with a black sharpie for the eye. I also colored his nose with a black sharpie. I used paper from Sangria paper packet for the background, and added a sentiment from last year's Pathfinding Workshop On the Go (retired) stamped in Goldrush. A strip of Canary Chevron Fundamentals paper (retired) and a bow using Poppy Thick Twine added more color.

An Early Christmas With "Twinkle", October Stamp Of the Month

The countdown begins early at Close To My Heart with "Twinkle", the September Stamp Of The Month. It's available for $5.00 after a $50 purchase at my Close To My Heart website...a huge savings from the original price of $17.95!

I made a couple of 3"x4" cards using White Pines paper packet and Zoe paper packet (for the Glacier houndstooth paper). I inked the stamp sets using New England Ivy, Glacier and Desert Sand Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. I punched rounded corners using the Corner Rounder Punch and added some Sequins Silver Assortment and a flair button from White Pines Assortment.

Do keep an eye for more Christmas crafting using this stamp set! I will be sharing more pics of Christmas crafting in the coming weeks!
