Welcome to the 14th stop on the Hopping Just for the Fun of It October blog hop!  If you are hopping along in order you arrived here from Raissa's blog.  If not, and you want to see all of the fun projects we have for you this month, just click on the link at the end of each post.  You will also find a list of all the blogs in our hop here on our home blog.
Our theme this month is Halloween and Fall Happenings.  I used Haunted Forest, one of the new a la carte stamps in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog.  It was stamped in black StazOn ink on glossy white paper with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade Classic inks sponged on.  The moon was created by placing a circle punched from a Post It note over the owl before sponging on the colors.  Frightful Sight DSP was layered onto the Basic Black card stock base and some retired black and white SU ribbon complete the card.
Today is also the 6th annual World Card Making Day!  I hope you enjoy this expression of your creativity and the connection with other card makers and the recipients of your cards that is the heart of card making.  The next stop along our hop is the blog of Holly and The DogEnjoy!

This card was inspired by one posted to SCS by Cards4Ever and uses the Autumn Days stamp set.  The image was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Shimmery White card stock and sponged with So Saffron, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze Classic inks.  I haven't use Shimmery White much but really like the effect it gives on this card.  The card base is Daffodil Delight with an Early Espresso border on the stamped image.  The bottom half of the card front was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder.

I love coloring Easter eggs but these are the only ones I've colored so far this year. They and the wagon are from a retired set called Wagon Full of Fun and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The card base is Bashful Blue card stock and the images were stamped on watercolor paper. The DSP and So Saffron ribbon is from last year's SAB.

This is CASEd from a card I saw on SCS created by Wendy Janson. She also posted it to her blog and you can see it here. Her card was so pretty I had to try creating one like it. I used Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Whisper White card stock and Concord Crush for the base. Stamp sets are Fast and Fabulous and Whimsical Words. I used a blender pen and ink pressed into the lid of the stamp pad to color the flowers.

In addition to stamping and scrapbooking I enjoy spending time with our dogs. We have three American Eskimos so when I saw this stamp, I had to have it. The sky was sponged with Night of Navy and Dazzling Diamonds glitter was used on the snow. The card base is Handsome Hunter (retired) and the trees are from Lovely as a Tree.

This is one of my favorite Halloween cards made with the retired set, Hauntingly Halloween. It is not my original design but I cannot remember whose work I copied so I can give proper credit. If you know, or if it is yours, please let me know. Begin by punching a circle for the moon out of scrap card stock. Lay the scrap of card stock with the hole from your punch on a piece of white card stock. Sponge So Saffron ink inside to create the moon. When the ink is dry, use a temporary adhesive, such as Dotto, to stick the punched circle over the sponged moon. Sponge on ink on for the sky beginning near the moon and working toward the edge of the paper. I used Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, and a tiny bit of Basic Black. Using Basic Black and Whisper White ink, stamp the trees from Lovely as a Tree set along the bottom of the paper. Remove the circle, stamp and color the image. A white gel pen was used for coloring the stars and to make the streaks. Mat on So Saffron card stock and an Elegant Eggplant card base.

This fall card was CASEd from ones posted by Cathy Rose and ladybug_stamper on SCS. Cardstock used was Early Espresso and Really Rust DSP from Pattern Pack III. The pheasant was stamped in Early Espresso and the sun in More Mustard ink onto a Very Vanilla oval cut with the Big Shot and the Scalloped Oval Frame die. The sponging was done with Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Old Olive inks. The wheat was stamped in More Mustard.

I was just messing around the other evening and came up with this card. First I stamped one of the cards from Card Games in Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla card stock. Next I masked it and rolled the Very Vintage wheel with Night of Navy ink over it a few times. Then I inked a coin stamp with copper metallic ink and a pocket watch stamp with silver metallic ink, stamped and embossed them with clear embossing powder. The last thing I did was add the bird for a little dimension.

Another fun stamp set for fall cards is Autumn Harvest. One of the stamps is a Jack-o-lantern face so its great for Halloween, too. I used the masking technique on this card to stamp the images on Very Vanilla card stock, layered it on Old Olive, and glued it to the Really Rust card base. I love background stamps and the one here is the retired Canvas. I stamped my greeting with another retired set, Small Script, on Really Rust card stock punched with the small oval. I used watercolor pencils to color the images and finished up with the Ticket Corner punch and natural hemp.
