Something Spooky This Way Comes...

Hello Everyone!  Time certainly has been flying and Halloween will be here before you know it!  You can create some really fun and easy cards with some absolutely darling Halloween stamps, so I thought I would feature several cards in this post using these stamps.


Halloween is always a fun time to create cards.  I have never been into the real scary parts of Halloween I see out there; just give me cute costumes on little kids and fun!


I thought a bit out of the box with this card.  The glass is from our Anniversary set #YCC226 Champagne Anniversary Silhouette.  I stamped the glass onto a white card panel that had orange  ink blended into it.  Instead of a congratulations sentiment, I turned the "champagne" into a scary purple potion to celebrate the day!  

I then stamped "Eat, Drink and be Scary" (M418) with black ink on a piece of scrap white card stock.  I edged the piece with Purple Ink and then layered it onto a purple and finally an orange card stock mat.  This entire piece was then adhered to the card next to the glass.    I wrapped the top of the card panel with our Grid Ribbon (70284 Orange).  I used a scissor to lightly curl the ends of the ribbon, exactly how one would using gift wrap ribbon.  This is one of my favorite things to do!

Now adhere this panel to a black panel, a slightly larger patterned paper panel and finally to a card panel.
The last touch is to add one of our Felt Spiders from our Halloween  (63110 Felt Shapes). This is so easy as it is already die cut - all you have to do is adhere it to your card!

For the second card, I also used more of our Halloween Felt Shapes.  I apologize that I forgot to photograph this card separately.


This card was even easier than the first one!  I used a nesting die to cut gradually smaller sizes, starting with the largest in the patterned paper and he smallest on the white card stock piece.  I stamped "Say Boo and Scary On" (M417) on this white piece with black ink.  

I added two ghosts from our Halloween Felt Shapes on either side of the sentiment and "Boo" from the same set right above it.

The last item I added to finish this card was a piece of our Trick or Treat Ribbon (80329 Ribbon Expressions) which was adhered to the front with Green Mini-rounds ( 90194 Tropical).

That's it!  Fun cards!
