Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge! Since Pennsylvania literally means “Penn’s Woods”, I wanted to go to the forest for this one.


I started by combining images from a whole bunch of stamp sets, including Butterfly Kisses, Scootin’ By, Porcu-pine for You, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, Let’s Go Nuts, You Are Sublime, and I Like You (A Lotl). I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Working from the top down, I used Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, and Bundled Sage. Then I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of another panel of Bristol and blended on Bundled Sage for the grass, and Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs for the trees. I did some splatter detail with the Vintage Photo and added some metallic watercolor splatter on the sky with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.


I added some 1/8” double-sided tape to the back of some of the branches so I could adhere my leaves to the treetops, then popped the Spooky Forest Backdrop over the background with foam tape and glued that to a Kraft card base. I adhered the rest of the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. For the sentiment I stamped the word “hello” on the background, then stamped the word “fall” in Walnut Ink and used the matching die to cut it out. I finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Walnut Ink.

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Monochromatic Challenge! Since I already did a Fall card in rust tones, I decided to lean more into the Spooky Season and go with gray tones for this card. I knew it would be the perfect color palette for the Wild Wolves and Wolf Before ’n Afters. I stamped them all out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Bristol Cardstock and blended on Distress Oxide Inks, starting with Pumice Stone for the glow around the moon, then working outward with Hickory Smoke, and Black Soot around the edges. Then I splattered on some water and also a bit of the Black Soot, before adding in some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors for stars.


While that was drying, I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of Storm Cloud Cardstock, and a Simple Stitched Hillside Border out of Narwhal. Then I stamped the sentiment in Storm Cloud Ink onto Fog Cardstock and trimmed that down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. I adhered the background to the card base, then glued the hillside over top, then popped up the Spooky Forest Backdrop die cut with foam tape. I adhered my images and sentiment with a combo of foam tape and liquid glue and finished with some Iridescent Stars and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

Thank you for this wonderful inspiration, Christy!
