Underwater Halloween

Hello, Timothy here sharing an Underwater Halloween card.

I stamped and colored the beautiful

paper on top of each layer. "Happy Halloween" is from a printed sentiment

sheet from my stash. I added some enamel dots and a bow 

to finish the card.

Have a beautiful day!

Broom Parking Only!

 Hello, Janet here with a cute Halloween Card. Anyone who loves Halloween will get a chuckle from this card.

Starting out with a scrap of white cardstock, I stamped the image, Witches Parking, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped 2 more brooms separately. I colored all the images with Copic Markers and cut them out. I placed them on paper that was designed to resemble an old chain link fence. I layered that on black cardstock. Then I put a black brad in each corner. The completed layers are attached to the front of the card.

Halloween Witch Interactive Shaker Card

Before I start crafting Christmas cards in earnest, I'm knocking out some Halloween cards for funsies. Creepy cute is so my thing! 

Are you familiar with the technique where you partially run a die through your machine so that it cuts out most of it, but leaves the rest attached?  That's what I did to create the aperture on the Witch with Crystal Ball then fussy cut along her hair.

I next colored the witch and sponged Catherine Pooler ink both inside the crystal ball and on the card front. I found the black die-cut on my desk, leftover from my Bee Girl friendship card, and used it as a border after stamping the Web Corners 2.

I added acetate to the aperture and built a foam barrier beneath to hold the glitter.  I also dabbed a bit of white pigment ink along the edges of the acetate to make it look misty.  The crystal ball reveals the Haunted House on Hill, which is a perfect Halloween mini scene. 

I selectively embossed the Bats in the Belfry sentiment to finish my card.

Purr-fectly Snarky

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

This sentiment is basically me in stamp form—funny, snarky, and everything in between! While browsing the Crackerbox Stamps store, I stumbled across this kitty, and it was love at first sight. Total purr-fection! For the background, I wanted a mixed media vibe, but still kept the overall card simple. A little stencil work and watercoloring tied it all together just right.

Supply List:

Cat and Broom

Do I Fly 

Web Corner Left

Additional Supplies: Memento Tuxedo Black, Watercolor pencils, white gel pen, stitched frame die, Molding paste and blue bling.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

When Bugs Go BOO: A Playful Halloween Card

   Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

The days are starting to cool off, which means pumpkin spice everything is about to take over. I’ll be honest—I’m not a fan of the flavor, but I can definitely get behind all the Halloween cards, posts, and decorations that come with the season.

For this card, I reached for the Bug Scary stamp from Crackerbox Stamps and started stamping them in a rainbow pattern. My original idea was to go through the entire rainbow in order, but partway through I thought—how fun would it be if they were holding a BOO sign instead? That idea completely changed the direction of the card.

I played around with different layouts, trying to figure out the best way to work the letters in, until I landed on a version that made me smile. It has just the right touch of funny and spooky mixed together. What do you think—would you have kept the full rainbow, or gone with the BOO like I did?

Supply List:

Bug Set of 3 Large

Bug Scary 

Versafine Clair Acorn

Additional Supplies: Watercolor pencils, white gel pen, embossing folder, and cutting machine for BOO sign.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Seasonal Sale and Halloween Birthday Card

Toni here with you today helping a friend celebrate her Halloween birthday.  Although Christmas is my favorite holiday, Halloween is a close second.

I sponged my card base with Catherine Pooler inks and spattered it with water.  

I diecut the spooky border and adhered that to the card base, adding scraps of yellow behind the windows and pumpkin.

Next, I diecut the sentiment and sponged it with more Catherine Pooler Flame ink to match the orange I had colored the Pumpkin with Cat.

I decorated the inside of the card as well using Web Corners Set of 2 which frames a mashup sentiment I created using Bats in the Belfry and Birthday 1.

Hello, Vicky here with a demon card for Halloween.

I started by stamping the Cauldron on the left.

The saying, Summon A Demon was positioned so it went around the Cauldron.

The Frog Being Crazy was lower on the card, so he is part of the focus, not even with the cauldron or saying.

The bubbles at the top of the card are a stencil from my stash.

More Skeletons Dancing

 Halloween is almost here and I cannot resist the Skeleton Dancing. Here are 2 more cards made with the stamp.

 

   Both cards used the Skeleton Dancing stamp. I stamped each Skeleton Dancing with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock. On the first card I stamped Happy Halloween with Webs, with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I used a soft brush with black ink to darken the background. I tore the cardstock around the skeleton and verse. Then I layered it on some spider web printed paper, before layering it on the card.

  On the next card, the Skeleton Dancing and the Bats Flying in Swarm are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on half a circle of white cardstock. I used a soft brush with yellow ink so the background looks like the moon. I used an embossing folder with black cardstock for the next layer. Then that is attached to a layer of yellow cardstock, before attaching it to the card.

Skeleton Dancing

 Hello, Janet here with a cute skeleton dancing. He is so cute that I even gave him a treat!

I stamped the Skeleton Dancing on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Next, I stamped the Trick or Treat Long verse with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink in the upper left corner. I stamped the verse again on a scrap paper and cut out the candy corn. I colored the candy corn with markers and attached it to the skeleton's hand. Then, I colored the candy corn and the pumpkin in the verse with markers. With black ink, I used a stipple brush and made the background. The finished white cardstock is then layered on black and then on a larger piece of black and white striped paper. The final step was attaching that to the front of the card.
