Ghosts! Goblins! Halloween!

 Hello! I am sharing a Halloween card I made for the Inspired By Challenge.  This weeks theme is Ghosts!  I love Halloween!  I used Taylored Expressions Trick or Treat Border die along with the Moonlight Layering Stencil. I started by card by ink blending with Plum Punch, Dragon Fruit, Pumpkin and Mango inks onto Sugar Cube cardstock.  

I die cut from Black Licorice cardstock the Trick or Treat Border die and stamped with the Ghostly Greetings stamp set. 

Here is this weeks inspiration photo and sketch! 

For the Moonlight stencil, I used Potato Chip and Sea Salt inks to blend the moon. I stamped it with Versamark ink and used some glow in the dark embossing powder.   I die cut the stamped panel with a circle die.

Happy Fright Night -Taylored Expressions

 Hello!  Happy Fall!  You know I just love Halloween.  I have been getting into all the spooky things and using my Halloween and Fall inspired stamps and dies!  My house is all decked out!  Still thinking about what I may do with my outside to make it all spooky!  But I know one thing for sure, we cannot wait to do some pumpkin carving.  That will need to wait till Halloween!  Until then, I can create spooky cards! 

For the Inspired By Challenge this week, the inspiration is Pumpkins!  EEK!  I used all Taylored Expressions for my project today: 

Stamp: Spooky Season Stamp 

Die: Snack-O-Lantern Shaker Die 

Inks: Mango, Pumpkin, Peaches'n Cream, Sweet Potato Pie, Plum Punch, VersaFine Clair Nocturne

I started by inking my panel with the Peaches'n Cream, Sweet Potato Pie, Pumpkin and Plum Punch.   I then stamped the panel with the Spooky Seasons Stamp and used the VersaFine Clair Nocturne for the bats.   I then splattered the panel with Chocolate Truffle ink.  I then splattered it with Silver Metallic inks from Tim Holtz.    

I die cut the Snack-O-Lantern from black licorice and some yellow cardstock from my scraps.  I stamped and embossed a sentiment from Spooky Season and then ink blended the XXXX panel with Mango ink.  I finished the card by adding some orange stars from the Halloween Bit's & Pieces.  I just LOVE how the card turned out!!!

Whimsy Stamps - Sugar Skulls

 Hey there!  I am popping in to share this card created with the new Sugar Skulls Stamp set from Whimsy Stamps.   I stamped the images onto watercolor cardstock and then colored with my Zig markers.   I knew these Sugar Skulls needed some bright and bold colors.   

This stamp set pairs nicely with the new Sugar Skulls 6x6 paper pack.   I used it underneath the hot pink cardstock that had been die cut from the Slimline Marquee die.  

The sentiment was stamped onto a white Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle die cut.   The sentiment means Day of the Dead.  My slimline card measures 3.5 inches by 8.5 inches.   

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Reverse Confetti October Blog Hop!

Welcome to the October Reverse Confetti Blog hop!  You have hopped to me from the sweet Melissa Phillip's blog!  This month I am sharing a Spooky Halloween card with you using several of the products from the September release and combining them  oldie but a goodie stamp sets.  

I stamped several images from the Monsterous, Too Cute to Spook, and the Best Witches stamp set and colored them with Copic markers.   I ink blended several inks over some watercolor paper cut to 3.5 x 9 inches and used a circle mask to create my moon.  I splattered some white paint over the night side of the ink blended panel and set aside to dry.   I used the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cut and some Lead cardstock to create my grave stones.  I sponged the edges with Stone ink.  

I also used the border die from the Nuts About You Confetti Cuts and trimmed a long piece of Midnight cardstock.   I just ran it thru my die cutting machine twice to get the elongated border.  Before assembling the spooky scene, I stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Haunt It stamp set and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The finished panel was placed on a 4 x 9.5 inch card base of Midnight cardstock.

For my next project, I made two cute little treat packages for Halloween as well.   This time I stuck to the traditional Halloween colors of Black, Orange and White.    I found these yummy peanut butter eyeballs to put in the treat boxes!    I hope these make it till Halloween:-)

For the first treat, I used the Treat Tube Topper and Treat tubes along with the Best Witches stamp set.  I cut white cardstock with the Topped Off Tag Confetti Cut and layered it with Midnight cardstock cut with the Dots Tag Layer.    I added a Tag Duo Confetti cut tag stamped with the Haunt It sentiment and white heat embossed it.

For the other treat box, I used the Box Wrap and Clear Treat Box and cut it from Midnight cardstock. I stamped a monster from the Monsterous stamp set and a small spider from Too Cute to Spook stamps sets and added them to the box.    My tag was made from the Boo to You Circle Confetti Cuts.

Next up on the hop is the adorable Lisa Henke!

My Favorite Things - Happy Haunting

I am so happy that it is finally October!    I love Fall and Halloween!  I have been mixing it up in my craft room making Christmas and Halloween cards! I have had so much fun.  I still  need to make a few more Halloween cards to send out!   

Today I am using the My Favorite Things stamp set Happy Haunting.   I just love the images of the trick or treaters in this set and all the accessories that you can add to them.   I stamped my images and used Copic markers to color them in.  

To create my scene, I used some Distress inks in Victorian Velvet, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot and ink blended onto some Bristol cardstock.  Then splattered it with a mix of Perfect Pearls and water.     I then stamped the black iron fence from the Frightful Friends stamps set also by MFT.    

I added a sentiment stamped on Gravel Gray and then die cut it with the Stitched Scallop Basic Edge and then die cut the prices of my panel with Blueprints 13 to get the stitching along the entire border. I added the panel to a Black Licorice cardstock A2 base. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
