Halloween - Right as Rain

Taylored Expressions – Colorful Halloween

Hello! Today, I am sharing another Halloween card created with Taylored Expressions supplies. I created two cards for the Taylored Expression blog using color combinations with the new release colors – Eggplant and Sweet Potato Pie. You will find color combination suggestions and a free color inspiration download on that post. While I had the Halloween supplies out, I thought “How about another card?!”

I cut the Ghost Town Border from Eggplant cardstock. I backed the windows with Cookie Monster and Candy Corn cardstock.
For the background, I stamped the Bare Trees Background in Lime Zest ink on Lime Zest cardstock.
I cut the BOO sentiment from Candy Corn cardstock and adhered it to the scene with foam adhesive.
I cut a frame from Sugar Cube cardstock and adding the panel to a Cookie Monster background.

TE August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks – Scary and Sweet

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. The new release features Halloween and fall-themed stamps, dies, and other supplies including stencils, patterned paper, and two new TE colors! Today, my projects have a Halloween focus. The August 2018 release products being sneaked this week will be available Thursday, August 2 @ 7 AM PDT!

My first projects showcase the Under Wraps – Vampire and Under Wraps – Ghost sets. These sets are a fun way to package Halloween candy!

I stamped the faces from the the Under Wraps – Vampire set and then die-cut the body, adding the die-cut hair and shoes (too cute!) The set includes a die to cut a strip in to which you can slip the candy.

Similarly, for the ghosts, I stamped the faces from the Under Wraps – Ghost set and cut the bodies with the die.

Supplies:

Who doesn’t like to receive fun mail?! My second project is a Halloween card created with the Bubble Greetings – Halloween set and a Mail Art envelope stamped with the Spooky Mail set.

I heat-embossed the Bubble Greetings-Halloween on Sugar Cube cardstock. I heat-embossed the stamp again on Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned papers, which I fussy-cut and adhered to the panel.
I added a frame cut from Oreo cardstock with the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 set.
I created a card base with paper in the Playful Patterns – Black & White set to which I added my panel.
To add sparkle and color, I adhered Build a Scene Halloween Sequins to the panel.
I stamped the Spooky Mail images on to a Toffee envelope and colored the images with colored pencil.
To dress up the envelope, I cut a liner from the Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned paper with the Scalloped Envelope Liner.

Vintage Style Halloween

Hello! Today I’m sharing two “vintage” CAS Halloween cards crafted with supplies from several different manufacturers.

For the first card, I used the emboss-resist method on patterned paper in my stash.

I clear heat-embossed the Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background and then applied Distress Oxide Black Soot to the paper. The areas covered by the clear embossing were not colored. It is a great way to change the look of patterned paper.

I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings on to another piece of patterned paper, which I cut with a circle die and added die-cut bats (from a now retired Memory Box set).

The second card uses a Memory Box wood stamp sentiment with the die-cut Memory Box Meadow Bird and older patterned paper.

While vintage isn’t my “usual” cardmaking style, it’s fun to dabble in it every now and again.

Taylored Expressions – Happy Halloween Owl

To create the background, I applied Distress Oxide inks – Broken China, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade – and then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said – Halloween set. I added the Little Bits – Witch Hat to the Little Bits – Owl which I placed on a branch cut with the On a Limb – Branches set decorated with On a Limb – Leaves.

Taylored Expressions – Happy Halloween

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Halloween card created with Taylored Expressions products.

To begin, I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade and stamped the Simply Said – Halloween sentiment with Archival ink over the inks. I cut a circle from a Plum Punch cardstock rectangle, which I dry-embossed with the Weathered embossing folder to add some texture. Around the sentiment, I added die-cuts cut with the sets: Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories, Haunted Accessories, and Little Bits – Ornate Frame.
