Angies Digital Stamps October Challenge



Hello crafty friends and welcome back to another monthly challenge over at 
Angies Digital Stamps! This month the theme is Anything Goes with an optional Halloween twist.
The challenge will run from 10/7-10/26.

The image I chose for my card is a sweet Heart Cupcake.
I've used this image before but with a very different color scheme.
I thought it would look really cute in an orange and black theme all dressed up for Halloween.


I just love how this sweet cupcake looks as the focal point on this card.
The patterned paper framing the background of the card is from Papertrey Ink.
I love the orange and black combination on Halloween cards.
The "Happy Halloween" sentiment is from the Toil and Trouble stamp set at Kat Scrappiness.

Make sure to visit the other Design Team members blogs and see the 
beautiful projects they've created!
Please remember you have all month to play along.
See challenge blog for official rules and have fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a great day, I already am!

Happy Halloween

***EDITED TO ADD LINK TO ***

It's my turn today on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have a cute Halloween card to share with you.
I'm not a fan of the scary, creepy side of Halloween so I usually make projects that are more cute in nature.  The card I am sharing with you today is just that! 
It has some very happy little pumpkins and a not so scary scarecrow!



I used the new Fall Crafters Essentials dies that will be available at Kat Scrappiness very soon!
This set of dies comes with 8 different fall themed dies and you will love every one of them!



There is a scarecrow, a bat, a moon, a tree, a fence, a pumpkin, a fishtail banner and a separate stitched panel die that measures approximately 4" x 5 1/4".  
The panel die has a maple leaf in it so it's like getting 2 dies in 1. 

This die set will surely become a staple in your collection quickly!
It can be used for so many types of cards such as Fall, Winter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and with a little bit of snow that tree could find its way on to a Christmas card!
I am also picturing that little fence on a Spring or Summer card as well!

To give my card some extra detail I dry embossed the white background with an swirly embossing folder from my stash to give the look of a windy fall day.  I cut my fence out of some wood grain patterned paper and my scarecrow was die cut from a watercolor panel I made for another card.

Check back on October 12th to see how I made that watercolor panel. 
There will be a video as well showing the technique.

I finished my card off with a Happy Halloween sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness 
Toil and Trouble stamp set.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you'll check out these new 
Fall Crafters Essentials dies soon, I know you will love them!
