Halloween Cards

Hello crafters!

It's October, so time to get those Halloween cards ready.

I usually don't send Halloween cards, but

as I've said before, this year I'm trying to send more

cards.  So I decided to make and send some Halloween cards.

Not only to a couple kids, but to adults too.

Here is what I made.

I heat embossed this Sm. Witch 

by Eureka Stamps, sold through 

Stamp On It

For the moons, I punched a circle out of card stock

laid it over the black card stock,

smushed the VersaMark Ink pad over the circle hole,

then added gold embossing glitter and heat set it.

On some of the cards I stamped and heat embossed

"Flying by" on the outside,

inside I stamped "to say" with the same silver 

embossing powder and
"Happy Halloween"

in Onyx Black VersaFine Ink

For this card I added some 

Ghosts also from Eureka sold through 

Stamp On It.

I attached the witch with an Action Wobble

For this card I used the same Ghost stamp

and Halloween Border Stamp

I used Black Soot Distress Ink

for the night sky and added some water droplets

to give it a little texture.

I cut the curve on the bottom of the front of the card

with a Curved Edge Die

For this card I used

Autumn Friends Stamp

from QKR Stampede

sold through 

Stamp On It.

All coloring was done with my 

Fantasia Colored Pencils

I'm pretty happy with how these cards all 

turned out and I hope the recipients like them too.

Thanks for stopping by today

I hope you'll come again soon.

My next post, I'll show you the envelopes
I made for these cards to be sent in.

Until then,

Have fun crafting!

Today is the kick off for the latest QKR Stampede Challenge!

The theme is "Fall Fun"

Be sure to pop over to the QKR Stampede Blog for all the particulars!

Someone's going to win those digital stamps, why not YOU?!?!

I chose to use

"Autumn Friends" (#9206) from QKR Stampede

for my challenge card.

I love these little cuties and colored them with FlexMarkers.

I used an embossing folder and put it through the Cuttlebug for the background.  I then used a sanding block to sand it and bring out the inside color of the Core'dinations card stock.

Here is another picture to show how foam tape gives the image dimension when used to adhere it to the card.

I hope you will be inspired to join the QKR Stampede Challenge,

do some embossing, color an image, make a card or project.

Leave a comment if you will and be sure to check out the fun images that QKR Stampede has to offer in red rubber and digital stamps.

Come again soon!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
