Partnering with Poppystamps!

My friend, Michele Henderson of The Crimson Owl, invited me to be her Partner at Poppystamps as they celebrate Halloween as we Make it Mystical!  She must know Halloween might be my favorite of all card making events!  Besides, how do I say no to someone who spells her name just like I do??  One L's unite!

The nice folks at Poppystamps sent me a few goodies to play with!  I hear there might be a new release soon - but all of these were new to me!  Ready.  set. BOO!


Poppystamps products used: Twisted Tree Oval, Surprise Skeleton, BOO outline die, Simple Thank You
Supporting cast: VERY old embossing folder, and an oval snippet from my stash

Hey, WHO doesn't need a few thank boo cards for those Halloween treats??

I have my partner to thank for those BOOs - you had to know I'd add a few of my own words to the mix ...  


Poppystamps products used: Scary Ghost, Surprise Skeleton, BOO outline die - one layer.
Supporting Cast:  stencil from who knows who?  Distress oxide inks

Add a little stenciling here, a few die cuts there, a drop or two of Stickles, and the Mystical magic just happens!

Thanks, Michele, for picking me to partner with you!  and to Poppystamps for making mystical so fun and easy!  Now let's go see what the other One L made, shall we?  The Crimson Owl awaits!  By the way... join us over at Poppystamps where you’ll find more great inspiration and ideas, see what’s new, and enter your own Mystical Make!

I love that skeleton popping out from behind the tree to scare us! He is a very scary skeleton! Both cards are such fun and perfect for a booing Halloween! So glad you were picked to showcase these dies!

What fabulous Halloween dies and fabulous cards. Fun sentiments and love the spiral stencilling and how those ghosts are flying out from it x. Great Halloween scene making Michele (with one 'L').

Your "thank boo" and "who's boo-ing who?" cards are FABULOUS Michele!! I'm loving all the bold colors and especially that skeleton die cut...he's a hoot!! You did Poppystamps proud with both of these delightful cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

LOVE those ghosties and the skeleton...these must have been so much fun to make. As usual, the colors you chose are spot on but the arrangement of all those elements really caught my eye. Plus you have two more Halloween cards for your stash. Win-win.

So much creative fun here, Michele! I love making Halloween cards, too. Whether embossed background or stenciled, they're perfection!

Fabulously fun Halloween cards, and glad you enjoyed the partnering.

I can't wait to get started on some Halloween cards, Michele, although I do have one at Just Us Girls today. Your designs are so fantastic and colorful and only a wee bit scary.

Denise Bryant said...

Such fun cards! I am a big Poppystamps fan, and I love these fun dies you used! Great background ideas too!

Thank Boo is now my favorite Halloween phrase ever…….how could I have never heard that before!?! The bold colors are fabulous and I adore the boney guy! And from a one L person to another one L is all you need…..no matter what a llama may say……

Michele K. Henderson said...

Michele, your cards are absolutely adorable! I love how they turned out! It was so much fun working with you and seeing your brilliant designs!
take Care!
Love,
Michele

Yay you, congrats on guesting with Michele! That skeleton peeking out from behind that spooky tree is so fun and the movement in the background is fantastic. Then you have those spooky ghost floating right off that card...eek! Two incredible creations my friend!

How wonderful Michele, and the perfect combination of my 2 fave Michele's with 1 'l' Mwah!

Fun! I love your creative use of these dies with the "thank boo" and "who's booing who??"

Tracey McNeely said...

BOO! Both of these are so fun for Halloween!

HilaryJane said...

You are so clever with your cards, I am always amazed. Both these are really special. I think the thank boo one just has the edge for me though. something about the colours I think xx

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

This is just so fun. Love the ghosts and skeleton getting caught up in the swirl. Wonderful colors and I love the extra words.

Two really fun Halloween cards, Michele! Love your color combo on the first one and how you layered all the elements...you really nailed it, Michele! Congrats on being a partner with Poppystamps ~ xx
