Hello friends!  It seems like this month has really flown by as I now realize that Halloween will be here next week and I wanted to get some cards sent out that I’ve made!

So here are my Halloween cards for this year….I had so much fun!

This one was so much fun putting together and it wouldn’t have been put together if it weren’t for the parameters on Craft Roulette #237 this week!  The four parameters consisted of these – 1. Project: Pop Up Card, 2. Colors: Trick-or-Treat, 3. Element: Boutique and 4. Random: jewelry

I used the Lawn Fawn Platform pop-up die and the build a house die with the Halloween add on plus a few other dies and stamp sets all from Lawn Fawn.  The front “welcome” sentiment was printed out from my computer and I made up the “Bougie BOO-tique” language to fit with the parameters of the challenge.😆  These ghosts are all blinged up and hanging out around their favorite “BOO-tique” to catch up on all of the latest trends in style!  One is wearing a necklace, another a tierra, another carrying a purse, another styling glasses with bling and the front ghost has earrings and a sparkle wand.

The background was done with the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Add On around the back of the pop up.  I ink blended and then splattered with white Copic Opaque White mixed with water to get the starry night background.  This card went to my husband because he really enjoyed it and said that it wasn’t going anywhere, but it does lay flat for mailing.

 

This card was done for an Inky Inkspiration Challenge over on FB for September and they were asking for a slimline card.  I’m more into making the mini slimline size rather than a full size, so that’s what I went with!  I’ve used the cute Bat stamp set for all of the images, except for the background panel, which you’ll notice it looks like a BINGO card and it is!  It was the game that we played in a Zoom class that I took with Inky Stamper and we actually used this Bat stamp set for the projects we made and the BINGO card was included.  I decided instead of throwing it away, that I would use it as background paper for my card.  I just stenciled in some gray clouds over top and stamped some bats from the set with it.  The rest were just cut out and placed on the card with the bat being popped out with foam tape.

(I would’ve showed photos from the class, but I forgot to take photos of them!)

And here’s another card I made for World Card Making Day using the fun sketch from the Inky Stamper Inkspiration Group on FB.  I’ve used this really CUTE Zombie stamp set from Inky Stamper for this card.  I had so much fun coloring him up!

 

And this last card I made for someone who loves the spookiness of the season almost as much as I do!  I pulled this really cool image from an older paper pack by Whimsy Stamps.  In fact, all of the images on this card came from this store.  

I die cut the image out with the WS ATC Antique Frames including the sentiment that was white heat embossed.  The background was black heat embossed with the WS Vintage Wallpaper stamp over kraft cardstock.  I sponged some black ink around the edges which was also cut out with the WS Wavy Pieced Rectangle dies.  I cut out a few ghosts from white cardstock using the WS Boo die set and sponged some green ink at the very bottom edges.

I thought it would be fun to make the eyeballs of the skeleton and the edges of the ghosts glow in the dark, so I used some glow-in-the-dark embossing powder over them and finished off the sentiment panel with green gems.  (It’s too hard to take a photo of the glow-in-the-dark!)

Well that’s it for me today with all of the Halloween cards!  I hope you’ve enjoyed them or have been inspired in some way!  Thanks so much for stopping in and I’ll see you again on Saturday with another Art Journal Page for the month!

  2. What a totally fun collection of Halloween cards! The first is amazing with all of the fun little details and great colors with ghosts popping out all over and I love that one is wearing glasses! The batty card is non-scary and so much fun, and the zombody with the bleeding heart is beyond cute with great coloring, but that last card is creepy beyond imagination! The image and surrounding ghosts take that one to a whole new Halloween level for me LOL Great job on everything. You’re so creative with your cards and I love them all.
