Vampire Bunny Halloween Card

Well... I thought I was done with Halloween but I remembered I had this Vampire Bunny digital image by Rick St. Dennis and decided to make one more card. The layout for this Vampire Bunny Halloween Card comes from the Mojo Monday sketch designed by Julee Tilman. My focal image is rectangle and the sketch shows a square but other than that I followed the sketch closely. Half of the patterned paper is from last years stash (spider web & diamond pattern by K & Company) and the rest is from this year (plaid and orange by DCWV). I colored the vampire bunny with my Copic markers and used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Happy Halloween sentiment stamp by Stampin' Up! A little black ribbon and four gemstones and this card was done. Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific night and pleasant tomorrow!

My Vampire Bunny Halloween Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Mojo Monday: Sketch
• Make My Monday: Halloween
• Shopping Our Stash: Halloween
• Try it on Tuesday: Halloween

Scaredy Cat Halloween Card

I'm done with my Halloween cards! This Scaredy Cat Halloween Card is the last one for this year. To create this card I combined several challenges. Inspirational challenges include:

• 365 Cards: Sketch
• Cupcake Inspirations: Photo
• Glitter n Sparkle: Halloween
• Make It Monday: Anything Goes
• Whoopsi Daisy: Halloween Colors
• Catch The Bug: Bingo 
• Punch, Orange & Black

The Halloween cat image is by Bugaboo Stamps. I colored the image with my Copic markers and added some yellow Stickles to the face of the jack-o-lantern for some sparkle. The patterned papers are from my scrap bin and I used the Fiskars spider web punch for the border detail. The sentiment by Inkadinkado is heat embossed  and if you look closely you can see two small black rhinestones for the cat's eyes. Thanks for stopping by my blog and enjoy the rest of your day! 

Spooky Sky Halloween Card

The creepy tree in this card was just begging for a spooky sky. I couldn't resist trying to make a few ominous looking clouds and moon by doing some sponging. I started with a white piece of cardstock and stamped the tree with StazOn Jet Black, then I sponged on Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, and Summer Starfruit to create the scene. I used punched pieces as masks to create the sky (punches used were various size circle scallops and the pansy punch). The layout for this Spooky Sky Halloween Card is from Freshly Made Sketches. I love the clean lines of this sketch created by Narelle Farrugia. The designer paper is from the Witches' Brew collection by Stampin' Up! and I used the Chevron embossing folder and then sanded the Black Magic cardstock by Core'dinations. I used deckle scissors by Fiskars for the decorative edge on the black patterned paper. It adds a little interest but still allows for a clean look paired with the white paper. Thanks for stopping by and have a great night and pleasant tomorrow!

My Spooky Sky Halloween Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Freshly Made Sketches: Sketch
• By LORi Designs: Color (Black, Orange + Your Choice)

Googly Ghouls Halloween Card

**For the Photo Inspiration Challenge please scroll down or click here. Thanks! **

 

 

Witches and Goblins and Spooks oh my! I've only got a couple more Halloween cards to make and so I had to use one of my favorite retired Stampin' Up! stamps sets called Googly Ghouls from last year. The layout for this Googly Ghouls Halloween Card is from the Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch challenge. The circle elements and the sentiment area worked perfectly with the stamps I wanted to use. It's always nice when I can find a sketch that brings the supplies I have on hand together so well. The Wicked Fun designer series paper is from several years back but I love the colors in this collection. Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Whisper White really made a fun Halloween color combo. Well, that's about it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!!

My Googly Ghouls Halloween Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Try Stampin' On Tuesday: Sketch
• Hanna and Friends: Halloween
• Craftin' Boutique: Halloween
• Paper Crafting Journey: Use Halloween Colors
• QKR Stampede: Halloween Fun 

BOO! Halloween Mummy Card

Can you tell the color purple was speaking to me today? I love using purple in my Halloween cards and I found the perfect patterned paper in the Spooky Time stack by DCWV. The focal image of this Boo! Halloween Mummy card is by Bugaboo Digi Stamps and I gave it a little color with my Copic markers. After coloring the mummy I fussy-cut him and adhered him to a scallop oval die cut. The BOO! sentiment and spider web stamps are both by Craft Smart and have been in my stash for a couple of years. I added a couple of glittery photo corners to the BOO! sentiment banner and the final touch were three gemstones. I still have a couple of more Halloween cards to make so check back again soon. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty day!

My BOO! Halloween Mummy Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Papertake Weekly: Happy Halloween Hues
• Cards und More: Halloween
• Crafty Boots: Halloween
• Oldie but A Goodie: Spooky (BOO! and spider web stamps)

Trick or Treat Halloween Card

Hello! The days keep passing by and I still have a few Halloween cards to make. So tonight I sat down and made this Trick or Treat Halloween Card. I tried to keep this card masculine to play along at Cards for Men. I'm hoping it's masculine enough. My hubby said it was cool but sometimes it's hard to know if he is just saying that, or if he really means it.

All supplies for this card are by Stampin' Up!. I used the Witches Brew dsp, Best of Halloween stamp set, square lattice embossing folder, circle and circle scallop punches, and Basic Black, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, and Very Vanilla cardstock.

My Trick or Treat Halloween Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Cards for Men: Halloween
• 'ABC' Challenges: Halloween
• Creative Creations: Halloween
• Lexi's Creations: Halloween
• Make It Monday: Anything Goes
