Haunting Ghosts in the Pumpkin Patch by Jean Okimoto

 

Intricate Mini Pumpkins join the Eerie Spiders and a trio of candycorn-colored Haunting Ghosts today.  There's a lot happening on this card...because it's Halloween!  Hi, Jean here with more ways to combine the great designs from our 2024 Fall Cornucopia release with items from previous collections. 

Cut Haunting Ghosts from white cardstock.  Save the 4th ghost for another project.  Tear the adhesive edge of a Post-it Note in a slight curve.  Cover the top of the ghosts with the torn edge - and brush, daub or sponge Summertime VeraFine Clair away from the Post-it, down towards the middle of the ghosts.  Blend Cheerful VersaFine Clair over the rest of each ghost.  Attach a scrap of black cardstock behind the eye cutouts.

Cut heavyweight black cardstock (or two medium-weight layers glued together) with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.  Spritz both sides of the globe with a light mist of water, then emboss it with the Spiral Delight 3D Embossing Folder.

Cut Intricate Mini Pumpkins from the new Orange Peel and Summer Squash 8.5x11" Cardstock.  Create wonky stems from the legs of the largest Eerie Spider and Leaf Sprout 8.5x11" Cardstock.  Sounds creepy, but it works!

Cut Eerie Spiders from the copper Rainbow Reflections 6x6 sheet.  

Stamp Boo - from a previous release of the Halloween Pumpkin Clear Stamp Set - on Key Lime 8.5x11" Cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the ¾" Circle Basics die.  Cut another circle from black cardstock and layer it for dimension.  Attach it over the Happy Birthday Foil Greetings White Circle Tab...Happy Boo Day!

Attach everything to a top-folded textured gray A2-card.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the cardfront for mailing.

Thanks for visiting - hope you'll have time to create a few fun Halloween cards this weekend!

Boo to You From Our Crew by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  I'm featuring products from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia release.  I used the Eerie Spiders dies 94846 and the sentiment is from Magical Halloween clear stamp set CL5284.  Here's a closer look:

This clean and simple card was super easy to make and here's how I did it.

1)  cut the spiders from black card stock

2)  add them to a card front, but only adhere the spider's center part, then lift the legs upward

3)  add jewels to the spider centers

4)  stamp and heat emboss the sentiment

5)  cut the sentiment with the coordinating die

6)  pop the sentiment up on foam tape

Here's one last look:

I really love the simplicity of this card and I hope you will give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting.

Eerie, Haunting and Intricate by Jean Okimoto

Meet 3 of the new Halloween icon dies from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia Collection - Eerie Spiders, Haunting Ghosts and Intricate Mini Pumpkins.  They're part of a great new release of fall and holiday designs and 15 vibrant shades of 8.5x11" cardstock for your cards, journals, mixed media, layouts and decor.  Hi, Jean here with the first of many fall designs we'll be sharing as we welcome fall and prepare for winter.

You'll love these Halloween designs that began shipping this week.  The release also  includes the 15 cardstock colors, a clear stamp + die set, and 12 new foiled holiday greetings - tabs, banners and circles.  We're spotlighting Halloween here...

Here's a mix of Halloween icons featuring the new dies and clear stamps.  Cut Haunting Ghosts from heavy white cardstock and attach scraps of black cardstock behind the eye cutouts. Cut Eerie Spiders from black cardstock.  

Cut Intricate Mini Pumpkins from the new Orange Peel and Golden Wheat 8.5x11" sheets.  The smooth, rich colors are solid-core 100# cardstock - perfect for card bases, diecuts, stamping and 3D embossing.  They also make great treat wrappers and mini boxes for Halloween candies!  Lightly ink the pumpkins with Summertime and Cheerful VersaFine Clair to add dimension and highlight the details.

Save the extra ghost, spiders and pumpkins for other projects.

Cut the wavy dark gray/blue/gold print from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 set with the 2" wide Nested Globes die.  Cut the new Orange Peel cardstock with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.

Stamp the greeting - from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on a medium gray/blue 6x6 from the Stormy Blue Collection with Smoky Gray VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Trim it with the matching die.

Attach the diecuts to a dark gray A2 card - use foam dots for the greeting, ghosts' heads and the two pumpkins on the right.

Enjoy creating and crafting with these fall icons - we'll be sharing many more ideas in the coming weeks!

Thanks for visiting - see you again tomorrow...
