Cool Cat Halloween Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I have a couple Halloween cards to show you.

My friend gave me a die set that cuts out this

background.  There are several pieces that you

have to put together, but it's really simple.

I die cut with this set on black card stock

and 3 different colors of paper that I thought

were prefect for Halloween.

I also stamped my "cool cat" onto the orange

paper and fussy cut him.
The bats were stamped and fussy cut also

from a stamp that a friend had.

All of it was layered onto a white card stock

base.

I stamped the sentiment onto the

same papers that I used for the outside of the card,

then cut around each word and adhered them inside the 

card.

For this card, I used the scraps from the 

card above and cut random strips of paper.

I covered a piece of card stock with 

double sided tape and put down the

strips of paper to use as the background.
I again stamped and fussy cut the cat and adhered him 

with foam tape to the front of the card.

The sentiment was stamped with a stamp in my 

friend stash.

Inside this card, I stamped this sentiment.

I really love how these cards turned out,

and I hope the recipients do too.

I'm glad you stopped in today,

I hope you are inspired in some way

and will come again soon.

Until then,

Happy Halloween!

 

Halloween Cards 2

Hello!

My last post I showed you a couple Halloween cards.

Today I have the other 2 that I made to share with you.

I started with this background piece that I had in my stash.

I used alcohol inks on a coffee filter, then cut the filter

to size and adhered it to a piece of card stock.
When I was ready to use it, I ran it through my Cuttlebug

in an embossing folder to get some texture.

I stamped the witch with black ink and colored in the

other areas with colored pencils.
Once it was fussy cut, it was adhered to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the spider web, then

the greeting and fussy cut around some of the web.

I used the same web stamp for the BOO greeting

for the inside sentiment.

Used the same witch stamp for this card and adhered it

to an alcohol inked background along with the sentiment.

Inside I used the same stamps and added some other 

spider webs in the corners.

I loved making these cards, my biggest problem

is deciding which kids get which cards.

I'm glad you stopped by today and hope you have 

enjoyed it and have been inspired in some way.

Hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy the season!

 

Halloween Cards

Welcome!

Halloween will be here before we know it,

so I decided I better get a few cards made.

Today I have 2 of those cards to share with you.

This one was very simple to make.  I sketched a

pumpkin and cut it out, then traced it onto the back of

this burlap "paper" and assembled the pieces into

a jack o lantern.
I found the background paper in my stash and thought

it would be perfect for the background.

I used the left over piece of the background paper inside the card,

stamped the web, spider and sentiment onto a piece of

white card stock, mounted them and I was all set.

This card was also very simple.

The color doesn't show up correctly for some reason,

it's actually a dark purple color.
I stamped the ghosts with white ink, then fussy cut one more 

and mounted it over one of the ghosts.

Stamped Happy Halloween and was all set with the front

of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the spider web,

then the BOO over the top of it.

I cut around the BOO and adhered it inside the card.

These are very simple ways to make cards pretty quickly.

I really like how they turned out.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Come again soon and I'll show you a couple more

Halloween cards.
Until then,

BOO!!!

 

Halloween Cards for A&A

Hello All!

Today I have a couple Halloween cards to show you.

I wanted to do something a little different for these 

two cards and came up with the idea of 

coffins that open.

Here is what I came up with.

I created a coffin with black card stock.

Using Ms. Sparkle & Co Spider Web stamp

that I got from Joann's ages ago, I stamped

the front with VersaMark Ink and embossed

with silver embossing powder.

For the inside, I found a skull image I liked on 

Google and traced it and colored it to make it

my own, then I fussy cut it and put it on a 
"wobbler"

The Happy Halloween sentiment was from 

my stash.

For the second card I did the same for the front,

but used purple embossing powder.

Inside I found a "sugar skull" that I liked,

printed, colored and fussy cut it

and put it on a 'wobbler' too.

The coffins were then adhered to a piece of gray 

card stock, a photo turn was added to hold it closed

and dash marks were drawn around the outside to 

finish it off.
I think the kids that are receiving these cards will 

like them.  I think they turned out really cute.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for spending some time with me today,

come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy some crafty fun!
