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.

Cooking Up A Demon Halloween Card

 

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.

Cards Used:

Cauldron 

Summon A Demon

Frog Being Crazy 

Hope you liked the crazy demon frog.

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.

Kooky Minion Halloween Card

Boo!  Toni here with you today sharing a really cute and rather kooky Halloween card featuring Dave Jumping.

My idea was to use Dave Jumping as hanging from a Witch's Broom zipping around in the night sky.  

I masked a circle on the card front and used my Copic Airbrush to color the background in shades of patchy blue as though there's a bit of cloud cover.  I spattered alcohol to create the large drops then Copic Opaque White for stars.

Using Copics I colored up the images as well as added a few craters to the moon which I sponged lightly in yellow along the edges.

Finally I stamped the Harry P 1 and embossed it in white. How perfect is that sentiment for pretty much any Minion card, right?

Bright & Spooky Minion Halloween

Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a bright and spooky Minion Halloween card.

My first step was sponging the background using Catherine Pooler inks.  I applied a spiderweb stencil on top of that then spattered the lot with water.

Next I colored up the Tombstone Lg and Ghost Minion using Copics.  Notice how I aged the gravestone by spritzing a paper towel with alcohol and pressing it against the colored image--it lifts the color away in random ways.

To complete the scene, I stamped the Tree Wide Bare on the background then diecut a spooky fence and grass.

Halloween Gravestone Cupcake Toppers

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing cupcake toppers for a Halloween gathering.  

I started this project by sponging scrap cardstock panels in a variety of Distress Oxides in Halloween (or least adjacent) colors: Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Lumberjack Plaid, Seedless Preserves, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Uncharted Mariner.  I spattered water then gave the panels a quick dry with my heat gun.

Next I cut out the panels using a gravestone die from my stash then stamped and embossed the Tombstone Lg and Tombstone Set 2 in Ranger White Detail Fine Embossing Powder. 

I added a bit of Distress Ink Black Soot along the edges after this to give them a bit more dramatic flair. Now they're ready to top some cupcakes. Or you could create a sheet cake graveyard with them.  Sprinkle some Oreo "dirt" on there too.  How very fun!
