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:

I have fun, very easy Halloween card that’s just the right amount of not so scary. All you need is this fab new Mummy die, a cheesecloth image and some white embossing powder. Add a punny greeting and you’re good to go!

A big congrats to Pia, the newest Featured Stamper (FS923)! She has a fun gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept mostly black & white w/ a face staring out, but I used dies instead of punches, made mine a Mummy instead of Frankenstein & heat embossed the background.

This card is really easy. For me, the hardest part was deciding what color to use for the background. I started w/ white on gray, didn’t seem to do it for me; tried white w/ gray ink, still not happy. So I tried white on black & that was it! I stamped the all over cheesecloth image w/ white pigment ink. I sprinkled on white embossing powder, then lightly brushed it away in areas. I wanted more of a worn look, rather than pristine. I backed it w/ a larger piece of black & cut just the band for behind the eyes out of black, then put the Mummy cover die on top. The greeting was made w/ a small alphabet die. I didn’t have a question mark, so I constructed it out of an S and an L.

The Mummy topper was attached to card board to give it strength & a little lift.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today I have another fun Halloween card and it’s so easy to make. Also, it’s very easy to customize by changing the background paper and/or the greeting. I think this would look great with a bright Halloween orange or acid green background. I went with a bright yellow/orange glitter paper for some sparkle.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS919), so a big congrats to Janet! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the eyes, two color & cover die, but I used yellow & black instead of red & black, changed it to vertical layout & added a greeting.

After die cutting the googly eye cover out of black, I tried it out on various colors of backgrounds & finally picked this bright, yellow/orange glitter paper. The sparkle just added that something I thought it needed. I used the smallest of the rectangle dies to cut another piece of the glitter paper & heat embossed the greeting on to it w/ a glittery black powder. I used the smallest of the Stars dies to cut the largest stars & two other Christmas dies for the smaller stars. Fast, easy & done w/ lots of sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
