Creepy Crawly Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today I have a creepy crawly, yet cute Halloween card using several items available from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.

Even if you dislike spiders, you have to admit these spiders made using Halloween Night Enamel Dots are more cute than creepy. I started by stamping the web image from Spooky Fun across the top of my Whisper White card stock using Black Archival Ink. Then I stamped the little spiders as they creeped down from their web.

Using Elegant Eggplant, I sponged over the Whisper White card stock. The enamel dots were added on top of the stamped spiders and then I used a fine point permanent black marker to add their eyes. Here's a closer look...

The Pumpkin Pie card base was stamped using the brick wall image from the Ghoulish Grunge stamp set. This is a great set which can add texture to your creations all year...not just for Halloween. To add a little sparkle, I added a strip of Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper across the bottom and finished with some Halloween Night Bakers Twine.

Have a SPOOKTACULAR day!

Spooky Fun Double Z Card

I've been seeing lots of double z fold cards on Pinterest recently and there was one in particular using the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and thinlits that blew me away. I don't have the Santa's Sleigh set, but after seeing that card I was inspired to use my Spooky Fun stamps and Halloween Scenes Edgelits to create a Halloween double z card.

I started off by sponging a spooky sunset skyline onto Whisper White cardstock using Elegant Eggplant, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, and Pumpkin Pie inks. I knew I wanted a full moon as a focal point, so before I began sponging I punched out a 1-1/4 circle from a post it note to use as a mask. After I was done with my background, I removed the circle and replaced it with the square post it note with the circle punched out, carefully lining the circles up. Then I sponged the inside of the circle with Crushed Curry.

It folds up nicely to fit inside a standard sized envelope which is nice.

Here's another look at the card opened up. The trio of ghosts are embossed in White Embossing Power.

Ghoulish Spooky Fun

Here's a card using my top Halloween picks from the new Holiday Catalog...

The first Halloween stamp set that jumped out at me is the Ghoulish Grunge set...this was a must have for me! I love all the great textures that are perfect at Halloween...or all year long. I used the cheese cloth looking one stamped over the entire layer of Perfect Plum to create a spooky background.

After I stamped the background I was ready to add some fun elements using the Spooky Fun stamp set and the Halloween Scenes Edgelit Dies. I absolutely love the spooky looking tree die! The tombstones were easily stamped and cut using it's coordinating framelit. The moon was sponged and then some Wink of Stella was added for a touch of shimmer.

To finish the card I tied some of the new Halloween Night Bakers Twine across the bottom. I know I'm going to have lots of fun using these new products! These few items are only the tip of the iceberg of what is being offered in the fantastic upcoming Holiday Catalog!
