| Here's a peek at the kit. |
When I first opened this kit I was a little giddy with excitement when I saw the color scheme and the super cute papers. The little orange monster was my favorite, so I decided to make him the focal point on my first card. I only have two Halloween sets with me at the moment, but I kind of loved how the little bat from one set looked perched atop the "boo" from my other set.
I thought the embossed spiders on this next one were so neat that I didn't want to cover them up, so I kept it super simple. After just typing that I realize how odd it is that I felt that way considering I can't stand spiders in real life. Eww...the little creepies do just that...creep me out. Still love 'em on this card, though.
This next one is my son's favorite. I intended to color my mad scientist, but when I was playing around with the layout, I decided I kind of liked the contrast of the white...kind of like color blocking, so I went with it. I love how the different shines of the purple stand out against the big blocks of color.
I'm entering this one for the CASology Cue Card:
Science Challenge. It ended up being a bit more layered than I intended, but I just loved the teal and had to use it.
My final card is my favorite. I adore this spooky row of houses, and this card came together so easily. I'm pretty sure this fuzzy yellow brad was always meant to be a moon and this paper was definitely meant to be a sky. :) And yes, I even snuck a little vellum on this one. It seems to be making an appearance on a whole lot (like the last five in a row!) of my cards lately.
And guess what? I have a few more cards to share, so stay tuned. We've had SO MUCH rain the last few days. It's been pretty continuous and school even got cancelled today because of the amount of flooding in this area. As soon as I get a hint of light outside, I'll take some pictures and share the rest of my cards. Make sure you take some time to hop around see all the other designer's fabulous creations. (This kit is seriously so cute!) It will definitely be time well spent and you'll finish with a smile.
I absolutely adore all of these cards. You are right, this Halloween themed kit is too cute. Love the printed monster paper and love every single one of your cards!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are all of these Lindsey!! Love the mad scientist card and your design. The corduroy brad was definitely made to be a moon ~ this card is my fave!!
ReplyDeleteOH these are awesome! I'm with you on the final card, totally my favorite too! Beautiful work! Thank you again for your super kind words on my blog, they really made my day and a little bounce in my step. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLindsey!!! OH my goodness ... okay... LOve that you left the Psycho Science guy black & white - perfect! LOve the paper you chose for your row of spook-tacular houses - OH how I wish I'd thought of the moon for the button - you are so very clever, clever girl!!! All fabulous ... and I'm so ready for more ... give!

Lindsey the card you chose for the blog is glowing and simply stunning, the button moon is perfect! You did an amazing job with Jessica’s kit! It looks like lots of us let the patterned paper do the talking for our cards ! I bet Luke even loved this kit!
ReplyDeleteAwww! You got different papers than me!!! Your designs are so fun! I think my favorite is the little town - how you used the brad for the moon and stamped on the black die cut. The first with the pattern paper is neat too. I'm glad you didn't cover it up - its way cute!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all so marvelous. I think your spider card is so cute, and I hate spiders, too. Must be that paper spiders are so much cuter than real life ones. Your mad scientist looks wonderful un colored, and I do like the color blocking look. And, so happy that you were able to use this card to play along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteLove them!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so spookingly sweet!!
And hope the rain stops for y'all soon...
I saw some of the flooding in areas on the news!
Oh, I love what you've done with Jessica's kit! The fuzzy brad makes the best moon. I didn't think of that! And your mad scientist design looks perfect. Love the aqua with the black & white image and the purple sequins! Wow, all of them are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTerrific cards, Lindsey! LOVE your row of crooked houses and fuzzy brad moon!
ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous, Lindsey ... and so. much. fun! Love the mad scientist ... and that you left him neutral so those gorgeous colours would shine! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLindsay, now THAT mad scientist is who I had in mind when I went to make a card for CASology...but I didn't have him! I love how you color blocked him and just colored his tie...a very fun, fun card! (All of your cards are awesome, actually!) Thanks for joining in the fun at CASology!
ReplyDeleteSo much eye Candy Lindsey! beautiful cards! Especially your card for our Science cue! Even though you added a layer or 2, you still managed to make a fantastic CAS card with so much impact!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job. Thanks for joining Casology!
Great science guy!!
ReplyDeleteADORE all of your BRIGHT and HAPPY cards!!!! So HAPPY you joined us at CASology!!!
ReplyDeleteLindsey, these are just too darn cute. So fun for a sweet Halloween. Your final card is my favorite, I love your adorable Halloween scene you created, just the way I would envision a star lite night for sweet trick or treaters!
ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh! They are so cute! I just LOVE the mad scientist card! I am so going to have to do that, the colors make him pop even though he's white! I love the haunted house scene and the vellum clouds that you used. And you're right that orange monster is the cutest and I love how you made him the focus with the word bubble!
