Halloween Card

Hello!  Happy fall.

Since it's now officially fall, I'm showing you

a little Halloween card that I made.

I had seen this technique for the background and

had made a few pieces to try it out.

I then found some images that I had colored and 

had been in my stash for a while.

I thought one of my grand children would love it,

so I fussy cut it and added it to the front of the card.

I used foam tape to adhere the image to the 

card to give it some dimension.

I think this turned out very cute.

Do you send out Halloween cards?

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope

you have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon.

Until then,

embrace the season.

 

Halloween Card for Marie

Hello and Happy Halloween!

Today I have the card I made for my 

Granddaughter, Marie, for Halloween.

She is very into pumpkins right now and

when I take her for a walk, she constantly

asks to see more pumpkins.  So we look in all

the yards trying to find as many pumpkins as

we can.
I thought a pumpkin on her card would be most

appropriate.

I cut the pumpkin with my Silhouette Cameo

out of orange card stock.
There are 2 layers and the top layer was inked

just a little bit with brown ink and then popped up

on foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

The Happy Halloween was also cut with my 

Silhouette using the LD Lightning font with a shadow.
The background piece is some adhesive cork that I had

in my stash.
It's all mounted on a white card base.
I think Marie will love this card!

Thanks for coming by today, 

I hope you have been inspired in some way.
Come again soon,

until then,

BOOOOOO!

 

Peeking Out!

BOO!

Halloween is getting close,

and here is the last card in my 

Halloween series

Again I was inspired by Vicky at Clips-n-cuts

who made a card similar to this one.

I used paper from my stash,

cut slits into it and tore and distressed them 

to leave the holes.

I drew on the spiders and cut out the bats

after drawing them onto black card stock.

Inside, I stamped the sentiment using 

a 7 Gypsies alpha stamp set that was in my stash.

Sorry I can't find a link to this anywhere.

I used a couple different sizes of google eyes

that I got from one of the craft stores.

I love how this turned out and I think

my Godchild will get a kick out of it too.

Thanks for stopping by,

hope you'll be back soon.

I hope you have enjoyed my

Halloween Card Series.

Until nest time,

enjoy some crafty time!

All Wrapped Up

Hi All!

Today is day 3 of my Halloween cards.

I was inspired by Vicky at Clips-n-Cuts

when she made a similar card.

I used Crushed Olive and Gathered Twigs

Distress Inks to distress some 

green card stock, then tore it into 

strips, then used ATG tape to adhere it

to a black piece of card stock.

I stamped the "BOO" with an alpha set

from 7 Gypsies, I couldn't find a name

on the package and can't find them on their website,

they are a quite old set, so may no longer be available.

I love the gold google eyes that 

I used from my stash.

(I may have picked them up at The Dollar Store)

I used the same alpha set to stamp the 

sentiment inside the card.

I love the distressed look, I think it's perfect for 

a Halloween card.

I used Gathered Twigs Distress Ink

for the stamping.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you are enjoying my 

Halloween cards

Come tomorrow for the last card

in my Halloween series

Until then

Happy Crafting!

Monster face

Hi there, welcome back!

Today is the 2nd day of a series of Halloween cards

that I made.

These 2 are for a couple great nephews.

I started with pieces of green card stock,

I used Distress Inks

(Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs)

to get the color I wanted for the faces.

I simply tore the black card stock to make the 'hair'

I punched circles for the eyes and 

cut strips of scrap black card stock for the mouths.

Then glued them all together to make the face.

Inside I stamped this cute sentiment,

I have no idea what company it's from,

I borrowed it from a friend and forgot to make note

of it.

These cards were easy to make and could even

be made with kids.

I love how they turned out.

Thanks for coming by again today,

there will be another Halloween card tomorrow,

so be sure to pop in.

Boo!

Hello blog friends!

I have a few young great nieces and nephews

and this year I decided to send out Halloween cards

to them.

Today I'm showing you the 2 ghost cards I made for a

couple great nieces.

I used a die to cut the "body" of the ghost.

To make the fold at the top, I simply made sure that the

cutting edge of the die was off the fold so it didn't cut.

Since the die cut was a little smaller than a standard size,

I adhered it to a piece of black card stock.

I hand cut the eyes and mouth from scraps.

Here you can see better that I embossed the front 

of the ghost, by running it through the Cuttlebug with

an embossing folder.

Inside the cards I stamped BOO and drew in

the little spiders.

I think these cards turned out adorable,

I hope the girls I'm sending them to do too.

Thanks for stopping by today,

in the next few days I'll be posting the 

other Halloween cards I made,

so be sure to come back and see 

how they turned out.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!
