The new Snowy Log - from our Winter Days Collection - becomes a leafy log with a fall print from the Nutmeg Forest 6x6 set.  Gold-specked Mysterious Mushrooms surround the popular Haunting Ghosts from the Fall Cornucopia Collection.  Hi, Jean here with a mix of dies from our fall and winter releases - taking advantage of how easy it is to mix design elements from Memory Box!

I didn't forget to adhere the sides of the background rectangle  - they're foam-taped for extra lift and shadows.  Really!

Cut Snowy Log from two shades of dark brown cardstock.  Match the woodgrain layer with the dark brown background of the Nutmeg Forest 6x6 leaf print - so the snowy layer resembles leaves falling on the log.

Cut Mysterious Mushrooms from the gold-specked Nutmeg Forest 6x6 and two shades of earthy reds from the Blush 6x6 set.  I cut the mushroom caps twice and chose diecuts with a good distribution of gold specks.

Cut Haunting Ghosts from watercolor paper.  Attach scraps of black cardstock behind the eye cutouts.

Stamp part of the greeting - from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on orange cardstock from the Sunrise 6x6 set with Pinecone VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Trim the corners with a corner rounding punch.

Cut recycled Kraft cardstock with 2-½" x 7-½" Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die and trim the corners.

Attach the diecuts to a recycled Kraft slimline card (8-½" x 3-⅝").  Use foam tape for the rectangle's sides, the top of the ghosts and the 3 big mushroom caps.  Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Witch Upon a Creepy Cabin
by Angie Cimbalo

 Witch card main

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here with a super fun Halloween card using products from last year's and this year's fall releases combined.  Here's a clos up look at my card:

Super close

I recently taught a card class at a local scrapbooking store and this was one of the cards we made.  Here's how to create this spooky card!

You will need: 

2 witch with capes 1 white, 1 black  (cut from "Flying Witch" 94624)

2 white die cut ghosts  (cut from "Haunting Ghosts" 94692)

2 Creepy Cabin die cuts, 1 black and 1 white (cut from "Creepy Cabin" 94634)

1 cover panel cut to 4 x 5.25" for inking

1 smaller panel cut to 3.5 x 4" for inking

Top folding card base (8.5 x 5.5" scored and folded in half at 4.25") 

First, using Distress Oxide Inks:  Dried Marigold, Wilted Violet and a blending tool/brush work the ink onto the panel.  

*Remember to blend really lightly where the two colors will meet for the first inking.  You will go over the meet line lightly many times to help it smooth out.  Remember to dab the center off on scrap paper before you bring it to the cardstock and start off the cardstock and work inward.  Use a light touch until you make sure you don’t have too much ink.  Too much ink makes edges and blotches.  Move in circular motion with less pressure than you think you should.  The area where they meet when finished blending will end up a sort of pink color.

Next, spray the panels with a fine mist of water and set aside - 

Go ahead and ink the smaller panel with same colors for the background of the Creepy Cabin. 

Glue the black cabin on top of the white one slightly offset and then glue the cabin combo to your smaller inked panel with purple background on top and and orange on the bottom.

Next use a circle die to cut the cabin panel out into a circle, you may have to run it through your machine several times to cut because you are cutting through 3 layers, the two cabins and the smaller inked panel.  I used the 2nd largest circle die from the Stitched Circle Layers dies 30036.

Glue the circle to the larger inked background panel with the orange on top and the purple on bottom

Stamp the sentiment and stars on it in black ink from "Magical Halloween" stamp set CL5284.

Add small piece of black cardstock behind ghosts eyes, so eyes appear black.  Or you can just make sure their eyes are over the black part of the circle.  I used extra black for eyes on the back because I wanted one of my ghosts closer to the inked background.

Glue the 2 witches on broomstick together and the 2 capes together, slighly offset, (black on top) then add capes to witch, then add to circle top.

Add the large panel to the card base, it’s slightly smaller so you will have a tiny white edge around the card front.

Let the new A Frame House star in a Halloween design – don’t save it for Christmas!  Hi, Jean here blending the Winter Days  and Fall Cornucopia Collections, 2 holidays and 3 friendly ghosts.

The A Frame House is the perfect setting for the friendly Haunting Ghosts and Intricate Mini Pumpkins.  The evergreen wreath becomes a garland of pumpkin lights.

Cut the A Frame House triangle pieces from recycled Kraft cardstock.  Brush or sponge the roof with Pinecone VersaFine Clair.

Snip the tiny section that connects the bottom right corner of the door to the triangle - to let the door swing open.  Crease the door on the score line.  

Cover the Kraft cardstock with Olympia Green VersaFine ink and quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut the door overlay, wreath and chimney cap from the inked/embossed cardstock. Save the scraps - they'll be pumpkin stems.

Attach a strip of acetate (or transparency) between the inked door and the door overlay to so it resembles window glass.

Cut the chimney vertically from the diagonal green/rust plaid from the Nutmeg Plaid 6x6.  

Cut Haunting Ghosts from watercolor paper.  Attach black cardstock behind the eye cutouts.

Cut a bright orange 6x6 from the Sunrise Collection with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.  Cut the Nutmeg Plaid 6x6 with the 3" wide Nested Globes die.

Stamp the greeting - from the Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on a yellow/orange Sunrise 6x6 with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the matching die.  Ink the edges with Cheerful VersaFine Clair.

Cut the Intricate Mini Pumpkins (or use the extras from previous cards) with the bright orange andyellow/orange 6x6 sheets.  In the edges with Sunshine and Cheerful VersaFine Clair.  Trim strips of the green-inked cardstock for stems.

Attach the diecuts to a recycled Kraft A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼").  Attach orange Bright Jewels.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

The A Frame House set is great for Thanksgiving cards - simply layered over a forest of fall leaves.  Add it to a background of Snowflake Rub Ons for simple holiday cards.  Use the top portion to cut contemporary Christmas trees too!

Thanks for visiting - see you on Friday!

Pink Carving Pumpkin Halloween
by Trina Pham

IMG_7538

Hello everyone.  There’s a fabulous new Winter Days release, but I wanted to squeeze in another Halloween card.  October is not only Halloween month, but also Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) month, so I combined the two for this fun pink Halloween card.

The Carving Pumpkin and Intricate Mini Pumpkins were die cut from white then ink blended with pink or grey dye inks using blending brushes.  Used a black marker to color on the background Carving Pumpkin piece behind the face openings.  The leaves and stem were colored with warm grey Copic Sketch markers W00/1/3/5.  The Eerie Spiders and Boiling Cauldron were die cut from black cardstock.  I would be remiss if there were no Halloween candies, so one black/white swirl candy from the Gingerbread House Frame die set was included. 😂

IMG_7539

The Fringed Scallop Frame was die cut from and the sentiment was white heat embossed on the same colour pink cardstock.  The white panel is Bristol paper trimmed to slightly smaller than the scallop frame then splattered with diluted black gouache paint.  Assembled the card onto a white card base.  Added highlights to the eyes with a white Posca pen and drew the spiderweb strings with a black marker and ruler  to finish.  

IMG_7540

A quick warning that this may be the first of multiple pink cards I post this month. 😂💕   Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.

Eerie Spiders Attack The Mini Pumpkins
by Anne Thompson

Here's another Halloween card.  This one features lots of EERIE SPIDERS 94846 and the INTRICATE MINI PUMPKINS 94845.

Unnamed-5 (1)

to make this card

I started with a blank white top fold note card and added a 5 1/2" X 4" piece of green plaid paper from YULETIDE PLAID PP1031.  I cut a piece of brown card stock 4" wide and tore the top edge and added it to the plaid background to act as a field for pumpkins.

Unnamed-8 (1)

Next I die cut the INTRICATE MINI PUMPKINS 94845 from ORANGE PEEL CARD STOCK SH44017.  I stuck them onto a strip of glue dots and set them aside.

Unnamed-6 (1)

Then I die cut the EERIE SPIDERS 94846 three times from BLACK GLOSSY PAPER SH44004.  I stuck those onto a strip of glue dots and set them aside.

Unnamed-9 (1)

I arranged the Intricate Mini Pumpkins on the brown field, placing the smallest ones toward the top edge and the larger ones in the foreground.  Next I placed the tiniest spiders on and around those pumpkins.  I put four of the larger spiders against the green "sky" and used a ruler and a pen to draw their silken threads from the top edge.  

Unnamed-7 (1)

At this point I stamped the sentiment "Halloween Greetings" from MAGICAL HALLOWEEN CLEAR STAMPS SET CL5284 on a scrap of the Orange Peel card stock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne (black) Ink.  I fussy-cut it with detail scissors.

Unnamed-1 (1)

To finish the card, I glued the sentiment to a scrap of the Black Glossy paper and cut around it.  I also added two more large spiders on dimensional foam  to the note card.  I placed the sentiment in the lower right of the field using dimensional foam dots.

Unnamed-3 (1)

I'm pretty sure that spiders don't know how to carve pumpkins.  But I did see the funniest video on Facebook this week of chickens carving pumpkins.  Who knew!  Hope your Halloween includes pumpkins but maybe not giant (or even tiny) spiders!  

Happy (Halloween) Crafting!

Boo to You Card
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_9161

Good morning everyone!  Today I have another Halloween card for you featuring some new Fall products.

I began by ink blending a white cardstock panel using Distress inks, and embossing it with the new Spiral Delight 3D embossing folder.  I lightly rubbed across the embossed panel with a black ink pad.  Next I spattered the background with plain water and orange paint.  When this was dry I adhered the background to a white card base.

I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Vintage Tray Frame die and used 3 of the cutouts from the frame.

I masked around the outside edge of the blocks with Gina K's Masking Magic 1/8" strips.  

I used the same color Distress Inks that I used for the background to fill in the blocks.  Before I removed the masking strips I spattered the backgrounds with white ink.

Colors used: Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Wilted Violet, Gathered Twigs and Black Soot (these colors were also used for the die cut images).

All the images were die cut from white cardstock and colored with Distress Inks.

IMG_9163

I glued the orange block to the card and adhered the ghosts to the block.  I did the same with the spider block.  I used foam tape to adhere the pumpkin block to the card.

The words "Boo to You" were die cut from orange cardstock and glued to a black cardstock shadow die cut.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!

The Haunting Ghosts are back again - posing as little witches for today's card.  Hi, Jean here with a die that won't quit!  The ghosts needed a spooky, abstract background and found three perfect shapes.

Cut three shades of orange cardstock from the Sunrise 6x6 paper pack with the 3 greeting background dies from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set.  Cut them again from black cardstock.  Shade the orange diecut edges with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair.  It's great for stenciling and shading - and it dries quickly.  Assemble the background blocks, slightly offset for dimension. 

Cut Haunting Ghosts from watercolor paper.  Attach scraps of black glittered cardstock from the 6x6 Glitzy Glitter Pad behind the eye cutouts.

Cut the cauldron - from the new Cauldron Witch set - from Black Glossy Paper.  Cut the bubbles from the chartreuse Graceful Garden Glitte Pad 6x6.  Cut the boiling goo from the chartreuse Rainbow Reflections 6x6.

Cut three witch hats from the Cauldron Witch set from black cardstock.  The top right ghost's hat is reversed just so everything isn't too matchy.  Run that diecut through your machine to smooth the cut edges.  Cut three hatbands from the dark turquoise Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.  Assemble the hat.

Stamp the greeting - from the Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on another orange 6x6 from the Sunrise Collection with Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair.   Quickly emboss it with detail clear powder.

Cut the dark blue print - from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 set - with the 2-½" wide Fringed Scalloped Frame Set die.

Attach the diecuts and greeting to a top-folded light recycled Kraft A2 card - use foam tape near the top of the ghosts' heads and their hats.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the cardfront for mailing.

Haunting Ghosts Through a Window
by Trina Pham

IMG_7423

Hello everyone.  I have a spooky cute 👻 Halloween card to share today featuring these Haunting Ghosts from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia release. 
 
Stretched the Vintage Tray die and partial die cut it twice from white cardstock, then stacked them to create the window frame.  The ghosts were also die cut from white cardstock and their eyes backed with Black Glossy paper.  Depending on how the light hits them, the eyes “twinkle”… a pretty cool effect IRL (in real life).

IMG_7424

For the background, a moon mask was die cut from masking paper using a Circle Basics die.  A Bristol panel was trimmed to the frame size next.  Adhered the moon mask off the top edge of the panel then ink blended gradient colors of teal dye inks using blending brushes.  Splattered with water and blot with a paper towel for some texture.  Used Copic Sketch markers to add shading to the moon (C0/1/2) and ghosts (BG10/11, 0).  White heat embossed the sentiment on a black panel then assembled onto a white card base to finish. 

IMG_7425

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.

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 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!
