Happy Halloween card made with the Hallows Night Magic Bundle (Hallows Night Magic stamp set and Halloween Magic Dies) and Metallic Mesh Ribbon from the Magic in this Night Suite Collection. I created the background by stamping black ink onto the layer using the blob shaped rubber from the middle of the frame stamp. I think it gives the impression of dark spirits floating around in the background. And the little bit of Metallic Mesh Ribbon peeking out from under the sentiment looks like cobweb.

Welcome to the August 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is New Beginnings, so we’re featuring projects celebrating new job, new marriage, new school year, etc. I used the Senior Years stamp set to make a happy retirement card and gift box. You may think of retirement as the end of a career, but I think of it as the beginning of a new life without the day to day worries of a job. I used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder to echo the plaid pants the man is wearing. When I think of a retired man, the first thing that pops into my head is a man wearing mismatched patterns to play golf. And this guy seems very happy with his wardrobe choice, from the Pumpkin Pie vest to the Blackberry Bliss plaid pants.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Hallows Night Magic Bundle and other products from the Magic in This Night Suite.
Last night I hosted a Mystery Stamping Party on Facebook, and I had such a great time! Throughout the party, I posted “clues” that participants followed to create a card, without seeing what the end result would look like. There were some really talented stampers making amazing cards. I look forward to doing this again.

I used two blues (Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray) along with Gray Granite and Whisper White. I colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with a Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Marker; and I colored the stamped image in Seaside Spray, So Saffron, and Gray Granite. The white ribbon is from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and the blue ribbon is Misty Moonlight 1/4″ twill ribbon.
