Boo!

Hi Everyone!

It's Kathy from Pixie Boutique, I'm the guest designer for the month of October and I'm popping in to share today! How is everyone liking the new Kigurumi Kids release?! I got a chance to play with AJ Lion who is such a cutie even though he can ROAR...hehe. 

I used Halloween stickers to make my card POP! I even added googly eyes to my spider can you tell?  LOL.  The fence and moon are both punched out while the background is from my octagon Spellbinder and it's embossed with a web.  Here's a close up of AJ, colored him with Copics.

Inside the card I embossed the word "Boo" onto a cut Spellbinder.

Had so much fun doing this card and you should get going too, because we have a challenge going on that is almost up!
See you back again soon =D

Chasezilla loves hot cocoa

Hey everyone!!

Have you seen the Kigurumi Kids, the newest release from Yumi & Fumi Handmade yet?  If not, click here to see the release that took place while we were in Sacramento.  Yes, they can be used for Halloween, but they can also be used for any occasion.  Take Chasezilla for instance, picture a Sunday morning all he wants to do is watch cartoons in his favorite Godzilla outfit and drink a big cup of hot cocoa with whip cream.  He loves whip cream! 

By using non-Halloweeny papers and accents you can create any type of card using our new line of stamps.  For this card I used papers from BG Plumeria and followed a layout used by Lisa McKinney in the new DTC Aug/Sep magazine (Vol 1 Issue 4, page 30).  Loved her CAS layout and thought it would definitely give me a nice backdrop for my card.

With the embossing in the background it also relates to our new bi-weekly challenge.  Here's the inside of the card... Keeping it simple with a fun sentiment stamp by Studio G.

It's seriously not hard to make a non-Halloweeny project with any of the Kigurumi Kids.  If you need inspiration just scroll through our blog and see some cute ideas created by the design team.  They truly are talented.  Don't forget to play along in our EMBOSS IT challenge. 

Alrighty, time for me to sign off.  Mahalo for stopping by!!  Have a great Thursday!!

Hugs,
Leanne
