This card is SCARY CUTE! Actually, that is the name of the stamp set! It has such cute trick or treaters, including this adorable fairy. I stamped her in Gorgeous Grape ink and die cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I also die cut the bats and the moon with the matching dies in the Scary Cute bundle.

This is on page 56 of the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog

The card base is Slate Gray, with a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock as a mat for the designer paper layer. The purple mat really brings the card together as it coordinates with the fairy. The banner is cut using the banner punch. I love the look of the glitter washi tape. It is so pretty! Two finishing touches: the bats are brushed with some sparkle using a Wink of Stella glitter brush, and five silver self-adhesive dots. Perfectly scary AND cute!

I just love the Flowering Fields Suite in the January-June 2022 mini catalog. This card features the Flowering Tulips stamps and dies. The colors are Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Evening Evergreen. In addition to the card stock, the designer paper is SO pretty, and the scalloped rectangle really shows off the tulip. Finally, I just HAVE to add some bling! The purple pastel pearls are the perfect finishing touch.

I just LOVE the Flowering Fields Suite! This card features the Tulip Fields stamp set. I used Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, and Calypso Coral for the stamped tulips, then cut them out and glued them on Evening Evergreen card stock. The tree and bushes are stamped with Evening Evergreen, and the windmill is stamped in Early Espresso. I used water painters and Early Espresso ink to watercolor the windmill. The cardbase is Mango Melody, and the matte is Gorgeous Grape. Love these colors!! The sentiment is from the retired set “In Your Words” (which was a FREE Sale-A-Bration set), and the die cut for it is from the retired “Hippo Happiness” set.
