HAPPY HALLOWEENđŸŽƒđŸ‘»

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I thought we’d take a look through some of our Halloween inspiration …

I’ve summoned not one, but four hauntingly amazing products to create this wickedly wonderful design: the Halloween Spells Designer Paper, the Playful Ghosts stamp set, the Halloween Memories stamp set, and the versatile Take a Bow Dies.

For this hauntingly cute card, we’re showcasing the eerie charm of the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Kit and its oh-so-versatile two-tone cardstock. One side is the full-strength color, while the flip side is a lighter, spookier version—perfect for creating dimensional depth. I chose to use the “tearing” technique to give this card an extra ghostly touch by revealing the white core of the cardstock.

My pencil holders are a bewitching way to share the fun of Halloween without adding more sugar to the night. Created with the hauntingly beautiful Halloween Spells Designer Paper, these cute little pouches are a cinch to make. Whether you tuck in three Halloween-themed pencils or a ghoulishly delightful pen, these treats are sure to cast a spell on whoever receives them!

These cards have it all: spooky fun, creative techniques, and of course, lots of Halloween spirit. Whether you’re crafting for a party or just want to send a frightfully fun greeting, these projects are sure to cast a spell on your recipients!

Thanks for joining me today! Happy Halloween ~

Brewing Up Some Spooky Fun

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope you’ve been having a spooktacular time during Halloween week! But, beware, today is our final day to share some crafty Halloween magic with you. No need to be too frightened, though—today’s card is brewing up all kinds of spooky fun! We’ve summoned not one, but four hauntingly amazing products to create this wickedly wonderful design: the Halloween Spells Designer Paper, the Playful Ghosts stamp set, the Halloween Memories stamp set, and the versatile Take a Bow Dies.

Let’s start with the backdrop, which sets the eerie stage for our card. Might bring your thoughts to Beetlejuice!! The Halloween Spells Designer Paper is featured prominently here, not just as the background but also transformed into spooky orbs floating across the card like enchanted bubbles. But wait—what’s that peeking out? Tucked between those orbs is none other than our mischievous little ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set! He may look like he’s up to some spooky antics, but he adds just the right amount of playful charm to balance the eerie with a little bit of cute.

And what’s Halloween without a chilling message? The “Spooky Fun” greeting, perfectly fitting for this card, comes from the Halloween Memories stamp set. We’ve stamped it onto more of the Halloween Spells Designer Paper because, let’s be honest, you can never have too much of this enchanting design! The message is framed using the Take a Bow Dies, which, like a spell-casting wand, create that perfect shape to highlight your greeting. Pro tip: Keep these dies handy all year long, because they’re not just for Halloween. They’re perfect for making bows and framing sentiments on cards, scrapbook pages, and more for any occasion.

So, as the witching hour of Halloween week comes to a close, don’t let the crafting fun stop here. These hauntingly versatile products are a great addition to your creative stash all year round! Keep casting those crafty spells and conjuring up creations that will delight and inspire.

Happy haunting, and keep those crafting cauldrons bubbling!

Day 2 of Halloween Week: Wickedly Fun Halloween Card!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back to Day 2 of Halloween Week! 🎃 Today, we’re conjuring up some wickedly fun vibes with a spooky, yet playful, card that’s perfect for this haunting season. Grab your crafting gear, because this project is not only thrilling but full of creative twists!

We’re starting with a basic black card base, a classic Halloween must! The dark backdrop sets the perfect stage for what’s to come. I added a strip of the Halloween Spells Designer Paper—the one with the mysterious Spells & Potions books. Doesn’t it just feel like we’re about to dive into a witch’s spellbook? đŸ§™â€â™€ïž This element adds intrigue and sets the scene for our magical masterpiece.

Now, let’s talk about the Take a Bow Dies—but with a twist! Instead of using them for a bow, I decided to think outside the cauldron. I used the dies to highlight the greeting on this card in a fun and quirky way. Isn’t it great when you can use your dies for more than one thing? It’s like finding a secret spell hidden in your stash!

To make things even more spellbinding, I pulled out the Halloween Memories Stamp Set. Who says it’s just for scrapbooking? I’m all about getting the most from my stamping supplies, and I love sharing creative ways to stretch your tools. That’s why I used the “omitting technique” for the greeting! I covered the part of the words I didn’t need, only inking the ones I wanted to use.

For the greeting, I stamped “Wickedly” on a larger piece from the bow die set and “Fun” on the smallest piece. I trimmed the larger die to fit the card perfectly and then layered the smaller “Fun” underneath for a wickedly fun effect! đŸ§›â€â™€ïž

But we’re not done yet—this card is bubbling with more magic! ✹ I added the cute little potion bottles from the Halloween Spells Kit. These adorable die-cut stickers are just waiting to be used! I popped them up with dimensionals for some extra depth and drama. And for a final spooky touch, I sprinkled on some iridescent pearls to give the illusion of bubbles rising from the potion—totally magical and mysterious, don’t you think?

This card has it all: spooky fun, creative techniques, and of course, lots of Halloween spirit. Whether you’re crafting for a party or just want to send a frightfully fun greeting, this project is sure to cast a spell on your recipients! đŸ‘»

Happy crafting, and stay tuned for more spooky surprises as Halloween Week continues!
