It is beginning to look and feel like Fall where I live so Halloween will be here before we know it.  I saw a treat topper made by Angie Juda which inspired this Frankenstein card.

 

 

Card stock: Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White

Inks: Basic Gray Classic ink pad and Basic Black Stampin' Write marker

Accessories: Sizzix Big Shot and Top Note die, 3/4" and 1" circle punches, white gel pen, Dimensionals, sponge

 



One last Halloween card for this year.  This was a quick and easy one created using the Festive and Fun stamp set, Frightful Sight DSP, Basic Black and Old Olive card stock.  The Old Olive card stock was run through the crimper, the image was colored with Stampin Write markers, and the bats were punched from a punch I've had for a very long time.

Welcome to the 14th stop on the Hopping Just for the Fun of It October blog hop!  If you are hopping along in order you arrived here from Raissa's blog.  If not, and you want to see all of the fun projects we have for you this month, just click on the link at the end of each post.  You will also find a list of all the blogs in our hop here on our home blog.
Our theme this month is Halloween and Fall Happenings.  I used Haunted Forest, one of the new a la carte stamps in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog.  It was stamped in black StazOn ink on glossy white paper with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade Classic inks sponged on.  The moon was created by placing a circle punched from a Post It note over the owl before sponging on the colors.  Frightful Sight DSP was layered onto the Basic Black card stock base and some retired black and white SU ribbon complete the card.

Today is also the 6th annual World Card Making Day!  I hope you enjoy this expression of your creativity and the connection with other card makers and the recipients of your cards that is the heart of card making.  The next stop along our hop is the blog of Holly and The Dog.  Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite Halloween cards made with the retired set, Hauntingly Halloween. It is not my original design but I cannot remember whose work I copied so I can give proper credit. If you know, or if it is yours, please let me know. Begin by punching a circle for the moon out of scrap card stock. Lay the scrap of card stock with the hole from your punch on a piece of white card stock. Sponge So Saffron ink inside to create the moon. When the ink is dry, use a temporary adhesive, such as Dotto, to stick the punched circle over the sponged moon. Sponge on ink on for the sky beginning near the moon and working toward the edge of the paper. I used Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, and a tiny bit of Basic Black. Using Basic Black and Whisper White ink, stamp the trees from Lovely as a Tree set along the bottom of the paper. Remove the circle, stamp and color the image. A white gel pen was used for coloring the stars and to make the streaks. Mat on So Saffron card stock and an Elegant Eggplant card base.

Welcome to the 8th stop on the inaugural blog hop of the SU STARS! I am delighted to participate in this hop and be a member of this group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who "love what we do and share what we love" with each other. If you are hopping along in order, you arrived here from Carolyn Sharkas' blog. A list of all blogs participating on the hop this weekend can be found on the SU STARS blog.

My project features the Autumn Harvest stamp set. Card stock colors used were Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso for the card base, Pumpkin Pie for the pumpkins, Old Olive and More Mustard for the leaves. The Crumb Cake piece was cut with the Top Note die, embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder, and spritzed with the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz. The stamped images were embossed, cut out, and Stampin' Pastels were used to shade the More Mustard leaf. The Jack-o-lantern was adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals and the remaining cut out images were adhered with glue dots. The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped on a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock, punched with the large oval punch and mounted on More Mustard card stock punched with the scalloped oval punch. A few pieces of raffia tied around the Top Note die cut finish the card.
