Now for my card. It’s appropriate to have a card featuring candy when I’m offering blog candy, right?
Aren’t these little guys the cutest? I’d give them lots of candy if they came to my door!
This is a Rubbernecker image called Trick or Treats, and I colored it with Copic markers then cut it out with Nestabilities. The striped piece of paper was torn around the edges and sponged with Ranger Distress ink in Peeled Paint and my ink blending tool. Have you tried that yet? It’s fantastic for blending ink!! (Duh, Broni, thus the name!) I just had to curl up the bottom corner to let the freaky ghost peek out!
The image was offset on an eggplant scalloped rectangle and I place a piece of PTI Plum Pudding satin ribbon in between them. The sentiment was stamped in pumpkin pie ink on white cardstock. I used Ranger Glossy Accents in a thick layer on it and placed the grungeboard O, which was colored with a YG95 Copic marker, on top of it. I coated the O with the Glossy Accents too and left it to dry. Then I trimmed around the O, and glued it to the card.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE017
~~~
Hey, guess what! Lindsey will be having a sale in her store (Jacksonbelle Embellishments) beginning Friday, August 29th through Monday, September 1st, and she’s offering 15% off everything!!! Woo hoo! She’s got all the latest Inkadinkado stamps and just about every available color of the new fun Shimmerz paints.
Our challenge from Jacksonbelle Embellishments this week is to case one of our very own designers! Let’s have a big round of applause for the featured designer this week – Erin McKinney of Stampin’ in the Sun!
I chose this card of Erin’s to case:
Isn’t it adorable? I kept the same layout and birdie theme, used my ribbon in the same place and used Dew Drops where she’s placed her gem brads. I did change the stamps I used and the papers and colors too.
Here’s my CASE:
I colored my bird image from the Birds Galore clear stamp set by Inkadinkado with Stampin’ Up markers and stamped it onto shimmery vanilla cardstock. I cut the rectangle panel using a Nestabilities die and left the die on while I sponged some celery ink aroung the edges.
The patterned papers are Daisy D’s Chloe Marie line. Yummy paper! Would you look at that beautiful 1″ satin ribbon?! It’s by May Arts of course! I added Dew Drops (water) at the bottom.
Check out the beautiful creations of all these talented designers:
- Amber Hight
- Beth Thomas
- Dee Jackson
- Elizebeth Neumann
- Erin McKinney
- Kisa Peters
- Lila Holgate
- Lindsey Botkin
- Lynda Benden
- Maren Benedict
- Rachel Baird
If you’d like to play along, post your card on SCS with the keyword JBE017.

Oh how positively fun! All those darling kids and their candy just make a girl smile!
Your Jacksonbelle cards are g-g-gorgeous!! Wow!
Oh my! The halloween card is so sweet and the others are just gorgeous!
I love your cards and my favorite candy at this time of year is candy corn.
Oh my, oh my! Broni, the Jacksonbelle cards are just GORGEOUS!! I love the Trick or Treater card — way too adorable! I am so impressed with your use of the grunge board O — so very clever!
All 3 are Fantastic Broni, love the Trick or Treater card so darn cute!!
WOW!! (Actually, that would be a DOUBLE WOW!)
I love the trick or treater card–Especially the peeking goul. BRILLIANT!
I love your color choices for the CASE’d card! They are so fresh and Lively!
Beautiful card!
Broni, I love all the cards today. Those little monsters are to adorable.
I have a hard time picking a favorite candy, but it’s probably a heath bar.
That’s such a super cute halloween card! My fave candy would be TWIX! YUMMO!
My favorite candy would have to be a mars bar–just love that fluffy centre.
Thanks for sharing those cards–they’re great!
Whoops — I just told Linda what my favorite candy is — old and confused. But, I’ll tell you too — other than blog candy — it’s a peanut butter cup.
The halloween card is so adorable. Love the colors you chose and the way you curled the corner to let the ghost show. Favorite candy? Definitely would have to choose Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups! Nothing better than Peanut Butter & Chocolate!!!!!
ha ha we cased the same card! I love your rubbernecker card, beautiful coloring. The Birds Galore card is gorgeous!
I really love your trick or treater card! I love that stamp!!! My favorite candy is peanut brittle! I don’t find it too often, but when I do, I just can’t resist it! Thanks for the chance at the Bucks! ;0)
Love all the beautiful holiday cards you shared!!! My favourite candy is Nerds!
Wow! Broni, I love both cards. It is really great that you have shown how with the same layout 2 cards can look so totally different. They are just so pretty and cute too!
Wow!!! love the cards. I think I ‘need’ the trick or treat stamps!!! My favorite candy…hmmm….it would be easy to say anything chocolate, but I guess if I had to pick one…Reeses peanut butter cups (but twix is a close second)
Your Halloween card is adorable. I just got to get that stamp. I love all of the extras you did like peeling the corner back and having the ghost peek out. My favorite candy is candy corn. I just love the stuff. Good thing it is not available year round or I’d be wider than I am tall.
Love them both! That blue bird is sooooo pretty!
I love your card!! My favorite candy is gummies. I just love those squishy little things 😀
OK, I will be the pig in this case!! I eat any candy that doesn’t eat me first!! I don’t think I have ever found a candy I didn’t like except white chocolate but take it from me, I make up for that with the dark chocolate!!! My kids used to HIDE their trick or treat goodies from me, their MOM!~!! How’s that for disrespect???
Love your card!! Reminds me of all that trick or treat candy I can buy to pretend to give out! One year, I had my husband giving out the candy and I kept going out the back door and ringing the front doorbell!! Drove him nuts until finally he just gave me the whole bowl of candy!! Said the little kids didn’t have a chance!!!
All three were fabulous! My favorite candy is Lindt milk chocolate truffles. I cannot even have them in the house! Love those.
All three of your cards are beautiful! I especially like the two with the birds! That is yummy paper and ribbon on the last card!
You’re such an enabler w/that cute Halloween card! too adorable! My favorite candy would be butterfingers! YUM
Oh that is hard. But anything with chocolate. I love Hershey kisses. (pure chocolate)
Or reese’s peanut butter cups. YUM! Or Kit Kat Bars. 🙂
I love the treaters cards. that is so cute.
Love your cards, too cute! My favorite candy is either Chocolate Raisins or Reese’s Cups
Gorgeous cards, as usual! You always encourage me to spend money though.
My favorite candy of the moment is Milky Way, but anything with caramel and chocolate together is good for me!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the Halloween card with the freak peeking out. Goes great with the stamp. And your Birds Galore card is ga-gorgeous. My favorite candy is Snickers. I buy tons of them for Trick or Treaters so I usually have some left. Yummy!
Your RN card is darling! I love that image and your color is beautiful, of course! Also, love the way you turned up the corner- genius! Your JBE card is gorgeous! I love the use of the PP with that image and your wonderful layers!
WOW!!!!! As always, BOTH of your cards are absolutely darling! I LOVE those trick or treaters! how sweet!!! 😀 LOVE how elegant the JBelle one is too!! Fantastic cards!
Broni, this is so darn cute.
I love your halloween card. It is so colorful. May favorite candy..wow..it is hard to make a choice. I think it is the Zero candy bar (with the white chocolate coating). But they are getting harder to find. I might have to pick another favorite eventually. Thanks for letting me play!
My favorite candy, which is readily available, is Dove Dark chocolate. Even when I am dieting, I find that I can eat one small Dove Dark and feel as though I’ve had dessert. Even better than that is the imported dark chocolate.
Your cards are wonderful! I love the little trick or treaters and your bird card is lovely.
Thank your for sharing.
Nice cards–really like that bird stamp. My favorite candy is Butterfingers.
Wow Broni, both cards are fantastic! The RN little trick or treaters is darling and the Inka bird is just wonderful!!! My favorite candy is Junior Mints! My kids have decided they like them too so I will have to find another favorite that they don’t like so I won’t have to share!!! LOL!!!
Broni, both of you cards are Fantastic!! I love the trick-or-treat card those little kids are so cute! Your bird card is absolutely Beautiful!! I LOVE the DP–wow that is pretty! My favorite candy is KitKat BUT my new favorite…M&M’s Premiums-Mint Chocolate & Mocha, not only are they really yummy they are so pretty in a candy dish! BTW thank you so much for the comments about the beach bum set!! *wink*
AAAAck! Those little halloween guys are too cute! What a great card! I too LOOOVE Reeses Pieces, but I also love Whoppes, York Peppermint Patties, Pot-o-Gold, Twix, tootsie rolls….heck – I love most candy!
Love your JB card too! Great casing!!
OMGosh, the trick or treaters…. SO cute! I love their brightly colored candy, and your layout on the card! LOVE the JBE cards, especially the blue bird! I must remember to try that trick of leaving the cardstock in the Nestie and then sponging on color! Both cards are just lovely!
Your Trick-or-Treaters are way too cute, Broni!! I love your fabulous coloring, and your whole design!! Your Jacksonbelle card is just STUNNING!!
Be still my heart! Your cards are all so amazing! You’re an incredible source of inspiration. I think I want to go stamp now…
