Halloween Cards 2

Hello!

My last post I showed you a couple Halloween cards.

Today I have the other 2 that I made to share with you.

I started with this background piece that I had in my stash.

I used alcohol inks on a coffee filter, then cut the filter

to size and adhered it to a piece of card stock.
When I was ready to use it, I ran it through my Cuttlebug

in an embossing folder to get some texture.

I stamped the witch with black ink and colored in the

other areas with colored pencils.
Once it was fussy cut, it was adhered to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the spider web, then

the greeting and fussy cut around some of the web.

I used the same web stamp for the BOO greeting

for the inside sentiment.

Used the same witch stamp for this card and adhered it

to an alcohol inked background along with the sentiment.

Inside I used the same stamps and added some other 

spider webs in the corners.

I loved making these cards, my biggest problem

is deciding which kids get which cards.

I'm glad you stopped by today and hope you have 

enjoyed it and have been inspired in some way.

Hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy the season!

 

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!

Trick or Treat Challenge

BOO!

Today's post is for the Eureka! Stamps Blog Challenge!

Our theme is "Trick or Treat"

For my card I have used

"Tree Losing Leaves" (#34502)

"Witch" (#3901)

from Eureka! Stamps

I stamped the "Witch" image with VersaMark ink.

There isn't a lot of coloring needed with this image, but what there was needed, I did with my water color crayons.

I stamped the "Tree Losing Leaves" image onto a white card stock base then inked it with a variety of Distress inks.

I think the tree and the background sky are just the right amount of "creepy" for this witch, as I think she is more cute than scary.  Don't you?

I hope you will get some inspiration from my card and join the challenge this week.  Pop over to the Eureka! Stamps blog to see what inspiration the other design team gals have for you.

Be sure to check out Eureka! Stamps and see what fun image you may want to work with.

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment if you will.

See you again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
