happy hauntings Ghosts BOO Halloween Card

Created this Halloween card using A Muse Studio happy haunting Ghosts dies. Used glitter cardstock. Used Kraft cardstock that is from the Paper Studio Classic Christmas stack. Used Martha Stewart BOO edge punch. Die cut a Tim Holtz ticket and then stamped the craftsmart ticket sentiment by placing the ticket over the stamp with rubber stamp face up and flipped over to stamp onto the die cut ticket. Tried it the other way, stamping first & then die cutting the ticket but it was harder to get the edge lined up properly for stamped ticket. Inked the edges of the ticket with TH Distress Ink. Added a scrap piece of orange/black ribbon; not sure where I got but would certainly like to get more of.

Ombre Pinks Grand Parents Card

Created this Grand Parents Day card using ombre colors (light to dark pink). Used Cricut cartridge Autumn Celebrations. I made the sentiment 2" and it fit wonderfully in the 4" card heart. I placed the negative cut of the letters from the "Grand parents Day" inside the card.  Used a Stampin' Up heart punch and attached 2 hearts together for a sentiment tag which I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment on. Stamped some mini HA hearts on inside of card.
My daughter's Gradnparents on both my side & my husband's side of the family are deceased. However my daughter has two wonderful people we call her Texas Grandparents that lived next door to us when my daughter was born and were there at the hospital when she was born. This card is for them.
