Paperbabe Stamps ~ Spooky Blog Hop

HELLO EVERYONE!

WELCOME ALL to the Paperbabe Stamps Spooky Hop.

Pop around to see Paperbabe stamps in the hands of some very talented stampy friends...

Just to recap the September release, "Cumulus Background", "High in the Sky" clear stamps and "MayLeeDee Witchily", "Dillon Batwings" and "Dillon Magic" are available as digital download for INSTANT gratification! And there's svg files to help cut some of those images out. They are NOW in the Shop!

You are in the right place if you are JUST beginning the hop, then make it all the way to the PAPERBABE STAMPS blog to see the endless possibilities with this new collection and to leave your comments and say hi along the way.

For my card I coloured in MayLeeDee Witchily digi, I've framed her to like she's pinned on some fabby striped wallpaper. 

She is coloured using my copic markers, of course. I went for a bright and fun colour palette.

So go, hop, and be a little spooked... Here's where you want to be:

Knitted Thanks

Here's a pretty quick card to put together...

 I used the DesignA Knit to create the background panel

The colours are from the summer card camp this week and they are not my usual palette... but I persevered and was pleased with the result.

I scored the banner at the opposite angle then I had wanted but guessing it still reads the same! These wooden buttons I've had in my stash for years.

Have a wonderfully creative Day

Summer Card Camp2

I hope you're having a great week wow Friday already, I had wanted to post this earlier but this week had other plans!!! 

 Here is a really quick card, only uses one sentiment stamp from Tree Hugs stamp set, 

I just had fun using it with some die cuts!

This next card, totally warms my heart, who can recognise where this was inspired from ROTFL? Yes a little bit of Horton Hears a Who! Love that film.

I used the pompoms from DesignA Knit to create the field of clover panel, I used post it note to create masks for stamping the different pompoms to get the layered look. 

The yarn in the DesignA Knit set was perfect for all those clover stems. I stamped the clovers in quite bright colours, but diffused it with a layer of vellum.

The sentiment isn't one of mine but it was too perfect not to use! I heat embossed it on the vellum, then, I stamped a small pompom and stem (don't forget how easy it is to curve acrylic stamps) and fussy cut for the embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderfully creative weekend

 I hope to bring you much more next week...
