Happy Haunting

I have spooky fun Halloween card today and it’s fun and simple to make. A few dies, some green ink, a stencil and a cute little Jack O’Lanterns set are all you need. The bonus is the black tree was flipped over and used a stencil on the right side, before attaching it on the left,

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS924) so a big congrats to Claire! She has a really wonderful gallery & after much browsing I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Halloween theme, the green stenciled background & black tree with Jack O’Lanterns, but I used different dies, different stencil & colored my Jack O’Lanterns.

After die cutting the white front & the black tree, I flipped the tree over & held it on the right side while I sponged the green inks around it. Then I placed a Jack O’Lantern face stencil & sponged thru it w/ a little bit darker green. For the hanging pumpkins, I stamped, colored & die cut the Jack O’Lantern banner, then cut them off of the string & attached the to the tree along with the little owl that comes with the tree die. I added the greeting & a few black bats to finish it.

The tree was attached to card board to give it a little lift. Here are the Copics I used for the little Jack O’Lanterns:

A light hearted Christmas card featuring a funny moose all tangled up in Christmas lights. He has cute little bluebird friend and a stenciled background of lights on a string. Sure to make the recipient smile.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS915) so a big congrats to Judy! She has terrific gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & winter/holiday theme, but used different images, dies & colors. I also moved the greeting & left off the ribbon & snowflakes.

After coloring & die cutting the tangled moose & little bird, I die cut the greeting square & lg white background along w/ 2 cobalt blue scallop layers. I used a stencil & some bright inks for the lights, then added a white highlight on them w/ a white gel pen. The moose & little bird are popped up a bit.

Here are the Copics I used:

Beach Bungalows

X2!
A fun in the sun at the beach mini slimline card with some colorful beach bungalows, fish and palm trees. You can almost feel the ocean breeze. These new Winter Town dies are great for summer, too!

A big congrats to LilyLynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS908). She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colorful beach scene & layout, but I used dies instead of stamps, drew on the siding & colored them, added some seagulls and a little glitter glue on the waves.

I die cut all the house parts, fish, seagulls, clouds & palm trees, then drew the plank siding on the houses & colored everything in. For the sky, I used a cloud stencil for the top part & added a horizon line of die cut clouds behind the houses. I needed some sort of stand for the houses, so I used the bottom of a bee house from another set & the second house from the left is actually the bee house. The sand was die cut w/ a hills die and for the waves, I die cut them out of white, used the cut off top part as a stencil to add more waves shapes w/ ink and a brush. The fish were all colored & added in the water then a few lines of glitter glue were added on top of the waves.

The four houses were popped up slightly. Here are the Copics I used:
