Halloween cat/ how my stamping changed over the years

Well, Halloween is already over but I want to show you another card I made this year:

I used another stamp of the cute Lawn Fawn Halloween set, this time I choose the small cat, the hat and matching dies:

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Grape Jelly
Dies: Lawn Fawn
Paper: Papyrus
Alcohol markers: Delta Markers by Rotbart (coloured ones), Trias by Pantone (grey & black)
Miscelleaneous: Diamensionals, snail adhesive
 
And then I realized how much my stamping has changed over the years. I am more and more into the clean and simple style, lots of white spaces and less or none embellishments.

For example. this is a card I made two years ago (?) for Halloween:

Supplies:
Stamps: Magnolia
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Brilliance Lightening Black (Spiderweb on the black cardstock), Distress inks (for colouring the image)
Dies/Punches: Stampin Up, Quickutz, Spellbinders
Paper: Canson & different out of my stash
Miscelleaneous: Embossing folder, scissors, glue


And this card is even older, I made it in my beginning of stamping

Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black (cat), unknown (Halloween sentiment)
Ink: Clearsnap Embossing Black

Paper: different out of my stash
Miscelleaneous: scissors, glue, napkin, Eyelets, markers, black embossing powder, heat gun


I used a piece of matching napkin as a background. Love this technique (easy to make fast backgrounds) but as it is a "No-Go" at the stamping scene I usually avoid sending cards with napkin backgrounds to others stampers.

Used some Eyelets to attach the stamped sentiment on the card.

Eyelets are one of the things I used to use really a lot. But when I started to create "clean & simple" cards I thought they won't fit into the clean and simple category.

Do you have any suggestions for another use of these large box full of eyelets I have? Any comments are highly appreciated.

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Card # 5

Here is the next Christmas card I made on my SU workshop last sunday:

This card is similar to yesterdays card, just different colours and stamps are used. This picture shows the closed card.

 This is the inside. The sentiment is hidden by the wreath when the card is closed

Here I tried to get a picture which shows the gap between the top and bottom part of the card. Be sure to use a strong adhesive so your card won't fall apart.

Supply list (all Stampin up):
Stamps: Willkommen, Weihnacht! (english name: Wondrous Wreath), Zauber der Weihnacht (Bright & Beautiful)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Old Olive, Sahara Sand
Paper: Garden Green, Whisper White, Gold Foil Sheets, Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack
Miscelleaneous: Snail Adhesive, Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies, Glue Dots

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day,
