Clean and Simple Saturday - Trick or Treat!

Hello Stampers! I'm back today with a bit more Halloween fun from the Best of Halloween 25th Anniversary Stamp Set! Isn't this witches' hat just darling?!?

I must be feeling much better than I have because last time I broke out the Thinlits Dies, this time I broke out the Washi Tape! I HAVE NEVER USED WASHI TAPE!!! There, I admitted it. And I will also admit that it wasn't hard to use :) I was actually very easy to use, I have no idea why I resist trying new things!

The bottom and top layers of this card are Very Vanilla, with a layer of Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper sandwiched in between. I liked the look of it rather than Basic Black cardstock, this is softer. Next I inked up a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set with Pumpkin Pie ink first and then again in Basic Gray. I stamped off first before stamping onto my Very Vanilla cardstock so that the effect would be, again, very soft. Then a few lengths of Witches' Brew Designer Washi Tape. The washi tape is very easy to tear off, I just didn't want that look for this card, I wanted banners so it took just a bit more effort, but still simple!

Finally, I stamped the witches' hat with Versamark Ink and emossed with black embossing powder and then I fussy cut the hat out. The last step was the adorable sentiment stamped with Black StazOn Ink.

Just a few steps with coordinating Stampin' Up product and you have a really cute, more adult style, Halloween card. Have YOU tried washi tape yet? I challenge you to if you have not, I think you will love it!

Clean and Simple Saturday #3

Inspiration can strike in the most interesting places...like the grocery store...really?

Yes really! I ran in to grab a few things for dinner, turned around and there these were, staring me in the face! I was immediately inspired to use these colors together in a clean and simple card:

I'm not sure I would have ever put these colors together on my own but I think they are very striking! And very masculine!

Please let me know what you think of this color combination and please enjoy your weekend!
