Enjoy The Ride

Happy Halloween crafters!  I have no Halloween dies so no Halloween card, unfortunately, but how about this simple carousel card?  I started by coating a piece of card with Lavender Glitter Kiss and allowing it to dry thoroughly.  I used the Circular Stars 3D embossing folder on it once dry.  I cut a diagonal corner off of it and added in piece of white card embossed with the same folder.  Next I cut the Carousel Base out of Wisteria card and added a white flag.  I stamped the Carousel Horse stamp in black and cut it out with the matching Carousel Animal die set.  I used Distress Markers to colour it, then glued it to the carousel base.  I added the base with mounting foam.  I cut the Enjoy The Ride sentiment in wisteria card from the Carousel Animal die set and glued it to the upper part of the card.  The card was completed with white and wisteria mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for 
now, Sue x

  3. I'd rather have this inspiration than a Halloween any day (unless you find a cute Halloween ghost or something) not a lover of this day to be honest, am I a sulky Steph? Give me a Sue sample every day and I'm happy, although unfortunately I wouldn't make the most of the carousel and animal collection I do love and enjoy seeing other cards they are so clever, it must really warm the cockles of your heart when you see projects made with love with the tools you provide. So I'll say I love this from the colour scheme to the expression. Have a nice day/ evening wherever in the world you're commenting from and please STAY SAFE AND VIGILANT xxx 💖

    Hello Sue and all.
    I really like the card you have for us today and I do have the Carousel die, as yet unused.
    I love the colours you have chosen and may well be a copy-cat if you don't mund.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

  22. Hi Sue and everyone, I do love taking my grandchildren out on Halloween and where they used to live everyone goes crazy with decorations, its quite fabulous. I dont however make Halloween cards so prefer this inspiration. Steph you're so funny, but not a sulky Steph at all lol.
    I've just had to draw a horse for an order so this would have been a fantastic die to have had.
    Beautiful card Sue, lavender well any purple is my fave colour however most images it looks grey, except one where it looks lush, so im guessing this changes with the light. A lovely card Sue. Hugs to everyone 🤗 Donna xx

  23. Hi Sue, sorry for no comment yesterday but the card is lovely and the poinsettias with Stellar Ice on the vellum are stunning. Back to today, I love this card and the colours are beautiful. Love the carousel horse but then I love all the animals you create.

  24. Hello Sue
    I like everything about this card it's lovely. My youngest granddaughter seems to be having a virtual Halloween her house inside is decorated and she has been sending us WhatsApp videos of tricking my daughter and we are having a virtual Halloween quiz tonight. We usually go to my other daughters tonight because it is my son-in-laws birthday and usually have a bonfire and fireworks but instead they are going to light the bonfire and video it.Take care everyone x

  26. Hi Sue & Ladies,
    I would love some SW Halloween dies. I did make Halloween cards this year, a dozen for family and friends and enjoyed making them.
    As a child, Halloween was always a fun time. We rang door bells for candy(everyone participated). One lady always made caramel popcorn balls wrapped in colored wax paper and my best friend's Mom invited us all in for hot cocoa & doughnuts to thaw out (I lived in IL then). Sometimes my Dad would help us carve a pumpkin and we always made some sort of art project at school.Halloween was not scary just fun and no, we didn't go home and watch creepy/slasher movies, etc. Just a fun event for children and sadly its mostly gone here now, at least where I live. Sorry to dither on.
    Love the Carousel horse.I just received mine in the mail this week. My package sat in our main PO nearly a week right here in town...grrr! I would love to make this card...so pretty.
    Have a great weekend whatever you do,
    Stephanie K
