Batty For You

Morning Bloggers and  Happy Hump Day!!!

I am back with another 

Halloween card that I made to enter into a few challenges.

~But before we move on I want to to share a little background info....

I was recently introduced to

The Alley Way Stamps

by my bloggy buddy and EAD Designs DT sister

Rose over at

  My Happy Place

who has made some super adorable cards using these fun whimsical stamps.

Here and Here are some of the cards she has made.

So when I popped over to their site I found a bunch of freebies that I downloaded

which can be found HERE

and started creating with them.

 My Christmas card I made for Creative Inspirations Paint this past Sunday used 

 those cute Christmas trees and sentiment

and for today's card I used the adorable 

Bat and Bat sentiment

Here is what I came up with using this as my inspiration...

~I know a bat image to the pumpkin photo...how did that inspire you 

well when I think of bats...I think of pumpkins

which has to all do with Halloween right??

and

~I used the orange from the picture in my bat image as well as on the card

So what do you think??

The card is from Lori Whitlock~

3 Piece Bat Card

that I purchased though the Silhouette Store

and using the Design Studio

I removed the bat from the file and imported 

The Alley Way Stamps digi,

colored him in the program and used the Print and Cut feature 

to cut him out.

I traced just the outside of another bat the same size 

and in the spot the original bat from the file was,

I welded him.

So when I attached the colored digi

he was reinforced by his shadow right behind him

Here is the whole card with the insert pulled out.

For the sentiment...also from

The Alley Way Stamps

I imported it into the design studio, and placed it on the card where I wanted it.

I printed the image out on my computer

then cut the card out.

Then using a border cut I added some extra design to give the front of the card 

some color.

So what do you think???

Didn't it turn out adorable???

I LOVE these whimsical stamps and plan on picking up a set or two really soon

only problem is....which one to pick??

They are all sooooo cute!!

Thanks so much for stopping by

and have a GREAT day!!

Now onto my card that 

I have  made to enter into a few challenges

So sorry about the poor picture,

I am having the HARDEST time taking decent pictures lately!!!

Anyways......

I started out making this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge

using the sketch from Retro Sketches

I designed the whole LO in the Silhouette Studio using the adorable apples

from one of my cut files from A Snapdragon Snippets

After cutting the apple and all the layer out 3 times I stamped each one with a 

different Peachy Keen Stamps face from the Simple Sallies Face Assortment

Added some glossy accents to the cuties with the glasses

and white gel pen to the eyes and mouth and some extra doodles on the stem

The sentiment is from My Creative Time~My Teacher Rocks!

stamp set that I heat embossed using Creative Inspiration Paint 

White Embossing Powder on the stitched circle die also from

My Creative Time.

With a little stitching up both sides of the designer paper

and the apples on Action Wobbles

(how fitting I thought especially with the adorable sentiment)

I have a cute Teacher's card.

What do you think???

Off to get the kiddo's ready for school!

Have a GREAT day and thanks for stopping by!!

Bad joke..I know...
on with the hop!
Here is the card  I made....

I used the adorable 
Fly Away With Me Stickerz

and added paper from DCVW~ Nana's Kids
to the balloon.
I then cut the whole balloon out
and attached it with the action wobble to the back

For the basket, I used one of the other balloon's basket

(whoops...made a mistake and thankfully had another one)

Cut that out and attacked it to Kraft cardstock

then used 

Trendy Twine in Black Licorice

to add some texture and dimension.

So what do you think??

I wish I could do a video to show you the 

wobble in action :(

I purchased the 5x7 Shadow Box byLori Whitlock from the Silhouette Store

forever ago and have finally had the time to cut it out..

Let me tell you this was so super easy to assemble

and the rest is up to decorating, 

which I had a blast doing!!!

I made this to put a picture of my kiddo's in this year when we go

to pick out pumpkins...

Since they are getting so big so fast and I am not sure how much longer

picking out pumpkins will be fun for them I have to take the opportunity to cherish the moment :(

Anyways here is a closeup of the adorable image

I did alot of paper piecing with papers from the

Graphic 45 collection as well as some coloring using my copics

I think one of my favorite things about this image is the super adorable

crow and his googly eye...LOL!!

I also wanted to share a closeup of the sentiment I added as well as my dimensional

pumpkins.

I used 2 different sizes of circle punches to make these and added some

Trendy Twine bows to the tops
