There She Goes Peeks Begin! Can I get a Whoo Hoo?


Hi everyone!! Happy Wednesday!! I am SO excited about this post...and it's gonna be a long one! Why not grab a latte and stick with me for a bit!!

As some of you may have heard, I am now a SENIOR TRENDSETTER for There She Goes! I am BEYOND thrilled that Jessica has asked me to remain on the team as a Senior Designer! Over the past six months, Jessica has truly become a dear and wonderful friend, so I am estatic to continue on this journey with her!! My bestest bud Jessie is also a Senior Trendsetter! Go Jessie!!

I absolutely LOVE There She Goes Stamps! Jessica CONTINUALLY comes up with new, fresh designs...and they run the gamut from fun and whimsical to elegant!! It's an honor to be a Senior Trendsetter!!

There are also quite a few new Trendsetters joining the There She Goes family! You can read all about it RIGHT HERE, but I really must give these AMAZING girls a huge shout out!!

Woo Hoo! Congrats girls!!

Today, the some of the Trendsetters are hopping along to celebrate Spooktacular Silhouettes!! Did you make your way here from my SUPER FAB pal Jessie's blog? If so, AWESOME! If not, please start the hop over at the AMAZING Faith's Blog!!

I have two cards to share with you that I made with this UBER fun set!!!

For my first card, I started with a piece of Choice Snow White Cardstock, and I stamped the moon from this set in Summer Sun. I stamped the tree, bat and the cat (which I totally covered up with my ribbon...duh!) and I then clear embossed the moon so I could ink over it and keep it vibrant.

I cut out my image with a Rectangle Nestabilities, and then while the paper was STILL IN THE NESTIE, I pulled out my brayer (this is the SECOND time in a matter of a month I have used my brayer...I think I may love it!), and I inked it up with Pale Plum & Perfect Plum ink, and brayered my panel. I then removed my nestie and presto chango, I still have my white border! Super fun right?

I framed the image with Black Scallop Rectangle Nestabilities, and the patterned paper is Eerie from Basic Grey, which I just LOVE with this set!!

Can you see that SUPER cool border on the bottom? It is the Bat punch from EK Success...totally LOVE that!! I finished this off with the sentiment in Circle Nestabilities, and Black Beetle Sugarcoated Brads by Doodlebug. There is just a bit of piercing on this one!!


For my next card, I wanted a more "clean" look, and this one came together really fast!!

I stamped the witch from Spooktacular Silhouettes in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Intense Kiwi Cardstock. I then stamped her again onto Summer Sun Cardstock, punched it out with my 1 Inch Circle Punch and then lined it up. I wanted it to look like her shadow passing in front of the moon! I stamped the bat from Spooktacular Silhouettes in Versamark and stamped it over my witch panel and the background Intense Kiwi panel...I love the soft look of it!

I, once again, used this SUPER cool Bat Punch from EK Success to create my border, and kept the rest of the card really simple with some piercing, a ribbon knot and three Black Brads by American Crafts!!!

Here is a list of the hoppers in case you get lost along the way!!
