Hip 2-b Square Cards

The October Hip 2-b Square Kit has a great mix of Halloween and Fall products. Here are the cards I put together with the kit:
A little mix of Graphic 45 papers, Basic Grey epoxy stickers, and Prima flowers & gems.

I didn't want to make a Halloween card yet thought the Alice in Wonderland tag about cake would be perfect for a Thank You card. Adding the Graphic 45 circle punch-outs and Prima gems to the buttons was a fun way to finish off the buttons. The background papers are October Afternoon and Pink Paislee.

This is my favorite card of the bunch. For the bottom border I used the Pink Paislee canvas strip but covered up the skull-and-crossbones with the Prima flowers and BG epoxy ladybug. Who knew? ;)

For this last card I used inspiration from the October Afternoon quote sticker to gather some leaves outside in my yard and place them on the card. I covered up the Home Sweet Home OA sticker for the leaves base. The Thinking of You stamp is from Impress (in my stash).
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoy your day. It's my DH's birthday--Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!
