Come and Get it! Crock Pot Style

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Cauldrons, potions, and a little bit of witchy chaos!

Seriously, how FUNNY is this image from Crackerbox Stamps? It's called "Witch with Crock Pot", and I just can't! I mean, who needs a fancy cauldron when you have a trusty crock pot to brew up some trouble?

I absolutely LOVE this little witch! And don't you dare put her away after Halloween! She's a fabulous addition to any stamp collection because she would make a HILARIOUS focal point for a birthday card, too!

A little "You're not getting older, you're just brewing up more trouble!" sentiment, and BOOM! Birthday magic! 

Now, the real question is... WHAT is she cooking in that crock pot? Because I have questions, people!

A Little Hocus Pocus Card

Hello, my spooky friends, Vicky here today.

Is Hocus Pocus one of the movies you don't miss at Halloween? I created a card with the Sanderson Sisters. Will you answer the question: Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

As the spooky season approaches, is Hocus Pocus one of the classic Halloween movies that you never miss? It's a tradition for many, and I have conjured up a card featuring the iconic Sanderson Sisters - Winifred, Mary, and Sarah! 🧙‍♀️ Will you answer the question that has been haunting you all year... Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Do you use your powers for good, or do you revel in a little mischief and mayhem? I would have to say, I have been conjuring up some mischief and mayhem for us.

I stamped the sisters and colored them. I put a mask over them and sponged the background.

I stamped the saying and cut it out with a die. I should have sponged the edges of the saying with black ink, but I thought of it after it was on the card.

The image is layered with white, then placed on an orange card.

Stamps Used:

Good Witch Or Bad Witch

Sanderson Sisters

Candy Corn Confessions

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

You would THINK that with my LOVE for candy corn, I would at least know how to color them in the CORRECT order, right?  WELL... Apparently NOT! LOL!

But I bet you didn't even notice until I told you! And WHY is that? Because you're too busy suffering from a serious case of CUTENESS OVERLOAD thanks to these ridiculously adorable Candy Corn stamps from Crackerbox Stamps! 🧡💛🤍

And really, who cares about the order of the colors when they're THIS stinkin' CUTE?!

For the top card, I pulled out my acrylic markers, and for the bottom card, I used my trusty alcohol markers. Two different coloring mediums, same level of ADORABLENESS!

I paired these little sweeties with the Never Grow Up sentiment stamp, because let's face it, growing up is HIGHLY overrated, especially when candy is involved! 

And can we talk about those borders? A little postal punch action adds that trendy postage-stamp look everyone is going CRAZY for! Simple, easy, and FABULOUS Halloween cards without a whole lot of fuss!

Now, I have ONE very important question...

Are you TEAM CANDY CORN or TEAM YUCK?! 

And don't worry, I promise not to judge you... MUCH! 

Supply List:

Never Grow Up

Candy Corn

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

 

Additional Supplies: alcohol markers, acrylic markers, black gel pen, ribbon, punch and pattern paper.

Beware Of Frightful Things Halloween Card

Hello, fellow Sampers, Vicky here today.

I have started my Halloween cards, and something spooky is stirring! Get ready for a hauntingly good time! These Halloween stamps make it easy to create creepy, characterful cards. Complete with a mischievous spooky creature, flying bats, a glowing moon, and a frightful sentiment. Perfect for Halloween crafting, cardmaking, and adding a little eerie magic to your projects.

I stamped the Demon Wisp first using VersaFine. I punched a 1inch hole in a piece of scrap paper for the moon. Using yellow ink, I sponged into the circle opening.

I placed the punched circle over the yellow and sponged the rest of the card with grey-blue ink, then gray ink. I went a little heavier on the sides and around the moon.

The spots were made with the Texture Stipple Brush, which I love to use for a light background.

The saying, On Halloween was stamped with VersaFine, my go-to ink for detail and words.

Stamps Used:

Demon Wisp

Bats Flying

Beware On Halloween

Products:

Frankin Bob Says Life is Scary . . . without Coffee

A spooky hello to you, friends! Toni here with a cute and not too spooky Halloween-themed coffee card.

I used a variety of Halloween patterned paper to create the front backdrop. Naturally, I used the same paper on the coffee cup, choosing a fairly plain paper to allow the Coffee 3 sentiment to shine.

Wassup?! Scary Movie Minion

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today with you to kick off the summer of Minions, including a sale on all Minions in the shop!

The Minions are ridiculously cute and I love using them in cardmaking. Couple that with my love of stretching my supplies in unexpected ways and you have the perfect mash up!

I was inspired by the new Minions & Monsters movie to create a series of cards based on--you guessed it--Hollywood movies.  The first is inspired by the satirical Scary Movies series, with #6 releasing earlier this year.

I stamped then masked the Cell Phone before stamping the Ghost Minion on the screen. I drew in the ghost face mask--and it looks it which makes it even funnier to me.

Next, I sponged the background in blue and embossed the Hashtags Snarky. I balanced the phone using  whimsical alphabet dies. And I had to use up that background pattern paper.  Just too cute!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Wishing You A Haunting Night

 Vicky here today. I am a little sad that October is almost gone.

Here is my last Halloween card for this year! It's a simple and quick Halloween card with a frightfully cute pumpkin.

I stamped the saying, Ghost Goblins Galore, " on the left.

The Pumpkin was stamped in the center of the saying and colored.

Sequences were added in the corner and mounted, and...done!

I hope you enjoyed the month of October!
