MFT Box Card Challenge, Halloween

Seems likes it's been forever since I made a box card. Here's my version for the Halloween Box Card Challenge at My Favorite Things. I combined several stamp sets (see product list below for details). Fall and Halloween projects are such fun to create. Hope you like it.

MFT Sketch 555

I've combined the sketch and slimline challenges this time, so we have a fall theme today. I really like how it turned out. The colors are pretty good together, I think.

I like to make "clusters" of images. I put them together before adding foam tape and adhering the whole bunch at once to the card.

Couple of summer cards

I know it's technically still summer, but it is winding down a bit with school starting soon, and in some areas, already begun. Before it's over though, I wanted to crank out a few more summer cards before diving into  fall and Christmas designs. Ellen Hutson's Summer of Stamping produced some really cute stamp sets. Along with the adorable Julie Ebersole designs which I still can't get enough of, I also picked up the Summer Circles set by Pretty Pink Posh made exclusively for Ellen Hutson. I used a couple of the images here along with sentiments from the Good Day set. (Links below.) Simple, and super fun!

MFT Color Challenge 171

It's time for another fabulous color combination from My Favorite Things. At first I wasn't all that thrilled with this combo, but then my card came together and I really like it! What do you think?

This adorable convertible and sweet Miss Single Lady is by Julie Ebersole for Ellen Hutson. I'm falling more and more in love with her super cute, no-nonsense simple designs. The images I used here are from the Good Day stamp set. For the background, I also added an extra touch using the rows of x-s from the Pattern Play set, also from Ellen Hutson. 
I LOVE this sentiment set from My Favorite Things called I Love You More. The fonts are super cute and there are six large sentiments in the set. Check it out (link below). 
Also, my love for foam tape never wanes! I love making layered "stickers" which is also a reason for my love of dies. I'm a die girl all the way, man. (Do you think I've used the word LOVE enough in this post?! LOL) Lots of love is never a bad thing. :)
