Loving my HQCB #77 theme AG with orange and purple hearts DT card on 28 Aug 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: this post focuses on my newest design team/owner project commitments for HQCB which is Heart's Quest Challenge Blog. #77's theme is anything goes with included orange and/or purple heart(s). It doesn't have to be seasonal/holiday for harvest or Halloween but it can be. I've decided to do 1 card for each. 

when: #77 starts August 28, 2025 and ends on September 27, 2025.

what: Project #1 = Jolly Jack-o-lanterns and Spiders card

how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. orange flat card base with matching envelope = from multicolor pack = Darice

2. purple cardstock scrap panel = Pen + Gear (I think; old; in my scrap pile)

3. white cardstock scrap for hearts = Georgia Pacific

4. Tangerine Tango and Fresh Fig stamp pads/inks dabbed for hearts = SU

5. jack-o-lanterns glossy cardstock panel = from Halloween paper pack = Pixie Dust Designs

6. clear with print puffy stickers (spiders and webs) = Craftology bought at Michael's Arts and Crafts
