Boo Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have a cute Halloween card for you.

I started with a white cardstock panel, and used a blender brush to add a light touch of Vintage Photo Distress ink to the background.

Next I die cut all my elements:

• Black cardstock was used for the Haunted House, Fence, Bats and the word "Boo".
• Ghosts were die cut from white cardstock
• Pumpkin from orange cardstock
• Moon from yellow cardstock

To assemble the card, I glued down the moon first, the Haunted House next.  Then I tucked the ghosts behind the house and glued the fence in place.  The pumpkin was glued in front of the fence.  

The word Boo was cut apart from the "Boo to You" die cut and glued in place underneath the fence.

Then I glued the bats to the card front.

I adhered the card front to a black mat and used foam tape to glue it to a white cardstock mat.  This was adhered to an orange cardstock mat and glued to a white card base.

That's it for today!  I hope you have a Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Scene by Jean Okimoto

Set the scene for Halloween with dies from our Fall '22 and Christmas '22 Collections.  Turn the Christmas '22 Celeste Plate upside-down for a spooky Halloween look with new fall dies.  I see a field of creatures in orderly columns and rows.   Do you see them?

Hi, Jean Okimoto here with another Halloween idea for a year that's gone by so quickly.  

Prep the Celeste Plate by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the diecut bits and pieces.  Cut it from black cardstock.  Attach it to an orange top-folded A2 Card.

Cut the Nested Globe layers from black cardstock and the dark orange 6x6 sheet in the Sunny Orange Collection.

Cut Rickety House from 6x6 sheets in the Earth Neutral Collection.  Cut a piece of the yellow 6x6 in the Twinkling Jewel Glitter Pad for the windows and door.

Cut the fence - from the Rickety House set - from a light orange 6x6 in the Sunny Orange Collection.

The bat and ghosts are from the Haunted Entrance Globe Layer die set.  Cut them from white cardstock and Black Glossy Paper (it's cardstock).  

Cut Boo Posh Script from black cardstock and a soft orange sheet in the Sunny Orange Collection.  Assemble the greeting - then attach the little ghosts.  

Attach everything to an orange notecard.  

Have fun with your Halloween designs...anything goes at Halloween time!

Halloween Popup Card by Sara Cook

Hi everyone!  I have an easy Halloween scene card featuring the new Ghost in the Forest die as a frame to highlight a spooky sky. 

Frame:

Die cut the Ghosts in the Forest frame die from an A2 size black paper panel.  Die cut the ghosts from the same set out of white card stock. Cut 2 strips of black card stock to 1" x 5/1/2".  Score each strip at the 1/4" make, flip over and score at the 1/2" mark  and flip back over again and score at the 3/4" mark. Fold the strips with the score marks like an accordion. Glue the 2 strips on either side of the frame, setting something heavy so they stay in place while the glue dries.

Background:

Ink blend Distress Oxide ink Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, and Dusty Concord on a white A2 size panel.  Splatter with water and dry off with a towel. Die cut the Rickety House die out of Kraft Woodgrain Paper. For the roof and door die cut again out of black card stock.  Use your finger to rub on Distress Oxide Walnut Stain ink over the Woodgrain house die cut.  Glue on the roof to the house.  Trim down the lightest yellow from the Sunny Orange paper pad to fit behind the house and adhere.  Glue on the door over the yellow paper. Line up the house on the background panel with the frame. Draw in a path to the door using a black color pencil.  Adhere the house to the background panel.

Sentiments:

Die cut Happy Halloween Posh Scrip bottom die from a matching purple from the Twilight Purple pack and the top from matching orange form the Sunny Orange pack and adhere together.  Die cut the word BOO from the same paper combo using the Twiggy Alphabet die set.  Adhere together.  

Assembly:

Adhere the background panel to an A2 top fold card.  Adhere the frame panel by folding down the paper "springs" and add glue.  Adhere to the front of the card.  Set the same heavy object on it until the glue dries.  Adhere the Happy Halloween sentiment to the inside of the card and BOO to the top of the opening of the woods.

Happy Ghosts on a Forest Path by Jean Okimoto

The new Forest Path from our Christmas 2022 Collection is quickly becoming a Design Team favorite.  It's great for frosty winter scenes like Sara's and Trina's.  Add wide-eyed ghosts from the Ghosts in the Forest set - and it's a Halloween card too!  Hi, Jean Okimoto here sharing a fall scene with a combo from our Fall and Christmas Collections.

Prep the Forest Path die by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the tiny offcuts around the treetops.  Cut it from black cardstock.

Cut a piece of the dark gray/brown Earth Neutral 6x6 to fit behind the black diecut and attach it.  It's either an old country road winding thru the woods - or a muddy stream after a fall rainstorm.   Attach it to a top-folded dark orange A2 card.

Cut the ghosts from the Ghosts in the Forest set.  Love their faces!  Attach them to the background with foam tape.

Cut Boo Posh Script from black cardstock and the bright yellow-green Lush Green Collection 6x6.

Use a hard rubber brayer and frayed burlap Distress Oxide ink to highlight the texture of Kraft Woodgrain Paper.  Dry the ink and diecut Rickety House - just the main section, not the roof section.  Cut the roof from the dark brown Earth Neutral 6x6.  Cut a scrap of the yellow glittered Twinkling Jewel 6x6 for a sparkly door and windows.

Thanks for visiting our blog - hope you enjoyed this little detour from our Christmas designs.  Halloween cards are always fun to send - and receive - before the Christmas rush.

See you in October...

Gated and Ghosted Creepy Cabin Happy Halloween by Anne Thompson

I've got an extra post this week and decided to make one more Halloween card before I switch gears and start creating for the December holidays.  The Creepy Cabin sits behind the Fancy Gate while Ghosts in the Forest swirl around.  I think my grandsons will like this one!

to make this card

• start with a white notecard
• cut the CREEPY CABIN 94634 in the center of a piece of BLACK GLOSSY PAPER SH44004; trim it with one of the larger rectangles from RECTANGLE BASICS SET 30086 (or trim with your paper cutter 5 1/4 X 4)
• add scraps of orange paper behind the cabin windows and door
• add a scrap of a coral plaid paper from MADRAS PLAID CORAL AND GREEN PP1013 behind the cabin cut-out
• attach the finished cabin panel to the front of the notecard
• cut the FANCY GATE GLOBE 94623 from another piece of the Black Glossy Paper and attach it over the cabin, bending the side hinges a bit for more dimension
• cut the background HAPPY HALLOWEEN POSH SCRIPT 94585 from a scrap of orange paper and the detailed lettering from a scrap of the coral plaid paper; glue them together and place at the top of the card where it will overlap the top of the gate a tiny bit
• cut three of the small ghosts from GHOSTS IN THE FOREST 94622 using white glitter paper from the MAJESTIC HUES GLITTER PAD GP1008; add them to the front against the black paper with dimensional foam dots

Happy Crafting!

Halloween Easel by Trina Pham

Hello there.  I can’t get enough of these adorable ghosts, so I had to use them again but this time for a Halloween easel card.

Started by die cutting a moon mask with a Circle Basics die and attached it to an A2 size Bristol panel.  Using blender brushes, ink blended Speckled Egg, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distress inks for the sky.  Splattered with diluted black and white gouache paints for some texture.

The Fancy Gate Globe was then die cut twice from black cardstock.  Trimmed off the arches on both; on one of them, cut in half and cut away the gate details.  Adhered them together like so to create a fence with the gate.  Great way to stretch your supplies. 😉

 
Next, die cut the Woodgrain Tree Trunk from black cardstock and the ghosts from white.  Added shading to the moon and ghosts with Copic Sketch markers, then assemble the scene onto the panel.  The right ghost was popped up with foam adhesive for dimension.  Spritz the entire panel with a shimmer spray for some sparkle (sorry couldn’t capture it in the photos).

To create the easel base, scored the front of an A2 size top folding card base at 2.75” and adhered the panel to the bottom half below the scored line.  The Happy Halloween Posh Script sentiment with shadow was then die cut from white and navy cardstock to be used as the stopper.  Here’s a side view of it all propped up.

And here’s the view from the front.

And that is it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.

Ghostly Garden Greetings by Jean Okimoto

 

Transition from late summer to fall - and Halloween - with ghosts and the new Creepy Cabin.  The floral background from the Garland 6x6 set is perfect for summer, fall and winter projects.  Hi, happy weekend - Jean Okimoto here with another idea featuring a die from our Fall '22 Collection.

Cut the Garland 6x6 floral print with the largest Nested Globe die.  

Cut the Creepy Cabin die from Kraft Woodgrain Paper - leave an extra ⅓" above and below the bottom of the design.  Cut it with a portion of the 3" wide Nested Globe die.  Attach a scrap of the yellow Twinkling Jewel Glitter Pad sheet behind the house to illuminate the windows and double-door.

The ghosts and bats are from the popular Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set - a favorite for Halloween cards.  Cut them from heavy white cardstock and Black Glossy Paper (it's very sturdy cardstock that's great for scored and embossed designs).

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded green A2 card.  Add the large Clear Fairy Drops.  Cut an A2-sized rectangle of cardstock to protect the Fairy Drops and card for mailing.

Thanks for visiting the blog...have a great weekend!

Boo to You by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have a clean and simple Halloween card for you featuring new products from the fall release.

I die cut the ghosts from white cardstock and randomly glued them to a black cardstock panel.

Once the glue was dry, I trimmed the overhanging ghosts from the background and glued it to to a orange cardstock mat.  I used foam tape to adhere the panel to a white card base.

I die cut the shadow from the "Boo to You" die from orange cardstock and the words from white cardstock.  I glued the words to the orange shadow die cut, then glued it to a vellum die cut circle.  Next, I glued this to my card and that's it!  Cutting all the ghosts was probably the most time consuming part of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!

Flying Witch on a Golden Broom by Jean Okimoto

Traditional holiday colors and designs are nice...but Halloween gives us a great excuse to play with colors and design elements.  Like a Black Glossy cardstock witch with a pink cape riding a shimmery golden broom.  Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a mix-and-match Halloween idea, just for fun.

Cut Exquisite Leaf Frame from the dark orange sheet in the Sunny Orange Collection.  

Cut Flying Witch from Black Glossy Paper (it's  cardstock).  Cut the cape section from the pink sheet in the Berry Red Collection. Cut the broom from a gold sheet in the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad.  Trim it and attach it over the Black Glossy broom.

Cut the 1-¼" moon from the white Polished Foil Pad sheet using the Circle Basics die.

Cut 2 bats - from the Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set - from Black Glossy cardstock.

Cut Boo Posh Script from black cardstock and the orange cardstock used for the leaf frame.

Attach the diecuts to a dark orange A2 card - use foam dots for the witch's cape and the bottom of the broom.

Have fun experimenting with this design - try it with different cape colors - like chartreuse, teal, coral or fuchsia. And post it as your entry in our September Falling for Fall Challenge!

Thanks for visiting our blog - see you on Friday!

Happy Halloween Scene by Anne Thompson

The view from my window inspired today's card...cattails and trees border the pond in my yard.  To make it into a Halloween scene, I added a yellow full moon and the flying witch against a glittery night sky.

There are so many papers on this 6X6 card.

• BLACK GLOSSY PAPER SH44004 as the 6X6 background
• WOODSY PLAID PP1018, one on top of the black glossy paper and five different plaids for trees and cattails
• MAJESTIC HUES GLITTER PAD GP1008 black glitter paper for the inner night sky background
• EARTH NEUTRALS COLLECTION SP1009 brown for a tree and two layers of black for the witch and the Happy Halloween background
• SUNNY ORANGE COLLECTION SP1002 for the moon and Happy Halloween lettering

These are the five dies I used.

• a circle die from the CIRCLE BASICS SET 30087
• WOODGRAIN TREE TRUNK 94630
• CATTAIL BORDER 94625
• FLYING WITCH 94624
• HAPPY HALLOWEEN POSH SCRIPT 94585

to make this card

• start with a piece of Black Glossy Paper cut 6X6
• add a layer of plaid just a scant bit smaller than the black glossy paper
• make the inner panel next starting with a 5 7/8" square of black glitter paper
• die cut a circle for the moon from yellow cardstock and add it to the upper right corner
• cut out a bunch of trees--I ended up using only 4 with the darkest one in the back and the lightest one popped up with dimensional foam in the foreground
• die cut the cattails and color the tips with a brown marker; add to the bottom of the trees; trim this panel as needed and add to the card
• die cut two of the flying witch and her cape and glue them together for more dimension and add to the upper right corner with dimensional foam dots
• cut two of the Happy Halloween background from black cardstock and glue together
• cut one of the detailed Happy Halloween lettering from yellow cardstock and add to the background using a glue pen
• add the sentiment to the lower left corner of the panel

Happy Crafting!
