Spooky House

BOO! Would you walk up to this house on Halloween night? Do you participate in any of the festivities during Halloween? There have been so many changes that many just close their door and shut off the lights. What do you do? 

Stamps:

   Sweet Home

Paper:

   Soft Suede A-2

   Color Me Autumn DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Die Cutting

   Punching

   Fussy Cutting

Accessories:

   3/4" Circle Punch

   Paper Snips

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my ghosts and sentiment, using Archival Basic Black ink and scraps of Whisper White.

I then stamped and die cut my house. The house is Crushed Curry and the window and door are Cajun Craze.

I then adhered a strip of Halloween Nights DSP onto the bottom of a Color Me Autumn DSP panel. 

I fussy cut several pumpkins from left-over pieces of DSP. I set these aside to adhere when I put the card together.

I then eyeballed where the house would be and stamped the roof on the DSP. I added the house using dimensionals.

I adhered a golden circle on the top left of the panel, and stamped several bats flying around.

I then placed the ghosts using dimensionals with the bottom of the ghosts flying out of the roof of the house.

I added the pumpkins along the seam line of the DSP on the bottom. Lastly, I adhered this panel onto the card base and added the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Happy Halloween

 I like the splotchy effect on the sponging. It was not intentional, but I think it works. I actually stamped my images and then decided to sponge the background. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Halloween Scares

Paper:

   Chocolate Chip A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Cherry Cobbler

   Only Orange

   Tangelo Twist

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the house on the bottom-right corner of my panel.

I then stamped the trees to the left of it. I stamped them several times and even twice before re-inking the stamp.

I then stamped a pumpkin and added some bats.

At that point, I decided to sponge the background with Only Orange and Tangelo Twist. I think the splotchiness adds an eeriness to the night. What do you think?

Best Witches

Here is a blast from the past. Everything is discontinued with the exception of the colors. It seems that I just buy a stamp set, and it is being discontinued or replaced by something else. The thing is that I only buy what I really like. So, you will continue to see many things that are discontinued mixed in with current items. How do you feel about this? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Tag Time

Paper:

   Crushed Curry A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Motley Monsters DSP 5 x 3-3/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Personal Choice

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies

   Aluminum White Circle Tag

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

   Glue Dots

First, I die cut my tree, bat, and tombstone silhouettes. 

I then stamped and colored an aluminum circle tag. I used my markers to color in the image.

Next, I put the card together. I took a 5-1/4 x 4 Basic Black piece as a matte for the DSP and the elements. 

I adhered the DSP onto the Basic Black panel. I added the silhouettes and the aluminum tag. The tag was attached using glue dots, and the tree silhouette was adhered using a fine tip glue pen. This kept the branches on the DSP.

I then adhered the panel onto the card front and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Spooky Spiders

Do you remember wheels? I still have several on my shelf. This one is entitled "Spooky Spiders." I am not sure if the spiders were meant to spook someone, or if they were spooked. They look very frightened. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Spooky Spiders Wheel

Paper:

   Pumpkin Pie A-2

   Motley Monsters DSP 5/8 x 5-1/2

   Basic White 1-3/4 x 2-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Pumpkin Pie

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies

   Wheel Guide

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my background of spiders. I used a wheel guide to keep the spiders straight. 

Next, I added a strip of DSP for interest and to break up the orange. The strip was left over from another project and included the right colors to blend in with my card base. This is a great way to use up the strips that are always left over from a 12 x 12 sheet.

I then stamped, die cut, and sponged my sentiment. I attached it, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card. I did not have any other embellishments, but if you have any Halloween trinkets, this would be the place to add them.

Big Eyed Owl

This card will take all of two minutes to make. It is a Clean And Simple (CAS) card. I added the mice at the bottom because too much white scares me. What do you think? Does it work? Thoughts?

Stamps:

First, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White and punched it out using the Washi Label Punch.

I then stamped the owl and added googly eyes, using glue dots.

Next, I wrapped the black and orange twine around the card front and tied a bow. I positioned it so that the owl would seem to be perched upon it.

I then stamped mice at the bottom, running past the owl.

I added the sentiment using a bit of washi tape.

Lastly, I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
