Halloween - Right as Rain

Three in a Row – Halloween Card

Hello! I can’t get enough of the DCWV Happy Halloween patterned paper. For this CAS card I used several of the patterns with a combination of die-cuts.

The three-circle frame is a retired die (Peek-a-Boo Trio) from My Favorite Things (one of the first dies I ever bought). I used the SugarPea Hocus Pocus set to cut the witch’s hat and broom. I used the Spellbinders Haunted Manor set for the bats. I decided to use a sentiment from the patterned paper for the center window.

Two Takes on a CAS Halloween Scene

Hello! I am sharing two CAS Halloween-themed cards using the same two products – Penny Black’s Layered Scene die set and Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings stamp set – and same design. I’ve just switched the colors.

I recently reorganized all of my cardstock by color, so it was easy to compare oranges and purples for the cards. I didn’t want the purple to be too dark, given that I was stamping the sentiment with black ink. I used Bazzill Gummy Bear for the purple and SU Pumpkin Pie for the orange. I considered teal as well, but the purple just felt right! I used the largest die in the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die set to cut the card background. I like the finished edge it gives.

I previously shared cards (non-Halloween) with the Penny Black Layered Scene here. I just couldn’t resist using the dies for a spookier scene.

I’ve used the Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings set time and again for the past several years. It’s now retired, but I’ll probably never get rid of it!

Spellbinders Haunted Manor

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Halloween card created with Spellbinders supplies.

I cut the bats and manor from Black Licorice cardstock with the Haunted Manor set.
I cut the Eek sentiment and the ghost with this month’s Small Die kit – “Eek-A-Boo.”
I used a circle die to cut the moon. I backed the ghost’s eyes and the openings on the manor with cardstock.
I added the elements to a background dry-embossed with the Inspire folder.

Here’s what I like about this card:
It’s created entirely from die-cuts. I like the bold colors with the black and white; I’ve been using a lot of teal for fall- and Halloween-themed projects this year. I like the dry-embossed background for subtle texture.

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit – Eek-A-Boo

Hello and happy September! With fall in the air, I’m making Halloween projects! It’s one of my favorite holidays, in fact, I’m fond of fall in general.

Today, I am sharing two projects created with the September Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Eek-A-Boo.” This adorable die set is perfect for all sorts of Halloween crafting – cards, treat toppers, scrapbook page elements ..!

My first card features two trick-or-treaters – the ghost and skeleton boy.

I triple-cut the letters in the sentiment for extra depth and added the centers to the letters, cut from Whip Cream cardstock, for better visibility on the teal patterned paper background. Have you noticed how teal has snuck into the Halloween color palette?

On my second card I paired the devil with two ghosts on a vertical card. For one of my very first Halloweens, I dressed as the devil.

I used the ghost die to cut the ghosts and then I lined the die along the bottoms of the die-cut ghosts and trimmed off a little bit. I felt that the slightly shorter ghosts looked better on the vertical card. Again, I triple-cut the letters in the sentiment for extra depth.

For the background, I paired a dry-embossed panel with patterned paper.

Trick or Treat – Die-cut Glitter Bats

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Halloween card featuring glitter-covered bats!

I cut the bats from cardstock to which I first applied double-sided sheet adhesive.
I added the micro-fine glitter to the die-cuts.
I stamped the sentiment and cut it with one of the dies in the MFT Hearts in a Row set.
To create the background, I applied Black Soot ink with a Jumbo Dauber through the Taylored Expressions Spiderweb stencil.
I cut the circle from Stampin’ Up cardstock, adhered it to the background, and added the sentiment pieces and bats with foam adhesive.
