Halloween - Right as Rain

Penny Black Fall Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween- or fall-themed, card created with Penny Black die sets.

I cut the crow with the 51-596 Bird and Branch set. This set was released in the spring and I used it to create several spring- and Easter-themed cards.
I die-cut the sentiment with the 51-077 Eeek! set three times and glued the pieces together for extra dimension.
The pumpkins and leaves were cut with the 51-360 Pumpkins & Leaves set.

Spellbinders – Halloween Witch

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Halloween card created with Spellbinders supplies. I kept with a traditional color scheme using patterned papers and glossy black cardstock from my stash.

I cut the witch and bats from a glossy black cardstock (Stampin’ Up from several years ago).
I glimmer-foiled the Spooky Greetings sentiment with black foil on Whip Cream cardstock.
I used the Nested Clipped Squares to create two frames, one cut from patterned paper and the other (slightly smaller) from vellum.
I adhered the frames to another patterned paper.
I added the assembly to a card base covered with a gold glitter cardstock.
I added the sentiment strip followed by the witch and bats popped up with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders – Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken

Hello! I’m delighted to be a guest over on Spellbinders blog sharing two Halloween-themed projects with supplies from the new Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken.

The Spooky Cottage die set works with the previously-released Charming Cottage die set to create a Halloween gift/treat box. The Spellbinders post includes instructions and additional photos of the project.

I combined the Spooky Boo dies and the Nested Clipped Squares to create a CAS Halloween card.

Head over to my guest post for all of the details.

Spellbinders – Halloween and Fall Foiled Projects

Hello! I’m delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing cards that showcase some of the just-released products in their Halloween & Fall 2020 Collection.

For both of the cards, I foiled images on colorful cardstock. Although I’ll be sad to see summer end, I’m excited about the upcoming season. I’m a self-professed Halloween fan, in large part because of the colors!

I hope you’ll head over to the Spellbinders blog for all of the details.

Penny Black Halloween Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card in which I’ve combined several Penny Black supplies in a Halloween scene.

I die-cut the #51-571 Vintage Truck and assembled it. (This die set includes an evergreen tree die for a Christmas scene, which I plan to create in a few weeks.)

I stamped, colored with Copic marker, and fussy-cut the costumed hedgehog from the #30-592 Critter Costumes set and placed him (her?) into the assembled truck. The witch is off to a Halloween event.

The background was stamped with the Penny Black #40-254 Decadence background stamp (a stamp I’ve had for several years). I really like the feel the background gives to the scene. The sentiment was cut with a die in the #51-077 Eeek! die set.

What I like about this card: I really like transportation-themed dies and look for ways to use them in imaginative ways; I like the pairing of the elegant, formal background with the truck; I am particularly drawn to fall colors at the moment (more so than in previous falls, it seems) and like the gold, orange, and gray combination.
