Halloween - Right as Rain

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.

Supplies: Memory Box Sweeping Bats, Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings

Taylored Expressions – Halloween Sarcasti-Chick

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween card featuring the Taylored Expressions Sarcasti-chick dressed for Halloween.

I used the Haunted Cutting Plate as a frame over the Twinkle Twinkle Background, adding a ghost and Spooky Clouds to the scene.

I used the Sarcasti-chick on a non-Halloween card in this post.

Lawn Fawn – Spooky Town

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Halloween die-cut card created with Lawn Fawn products.

I heat-embossed the Happy Howloween sentiment with American Crafts Leaf embossing powder on Taylored Expressions Oreo cardstock and cut the panel with the Lawn Fawn Village Border. I backed the windows with Simon Says Orange Peel cardstock.
I cut the Stitched Tree Borders from TE Earl Grey cardstock and used TE Lime Zest cardstock for the foliage.
For the background, I dry-embossed TE Jelly Donut cardstock with the Lifestyle Crafts Wood Grain embossing folder.

Taylored Expressions – You’re SPOOKtacular

Hello! Today, I have a CAS Halloween card combining several Taylored Expressions die sets. I kept the color palette traditional with orange and black, with the addition of matte silver and white.

I stamped the Simply Said – Halloween sentiment on a Candy Corn cardstock card base. I added die-cuts from the sets: Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories, Little Bits – Cat, Little Bits – Candelabra, and Little Bits – Ornate Frame. I cut the ledge with a die in the Sitting Pretty set.
