Happy Halloween

 

Good morning!  I have a Halloween card to show you today, created with the gorgeous stamps from the Halloween Pop Up Box 2022.

I coloured the super cute Tilda/Edwin dressed as a devil with Distress Inks using the no lines technique as and have popped the image on foam pads in front of the gorgeous cloud die cut with the fabulous die from Vol. 33.  I love die cuts that have stitching effects around the edges.

The sentiment, which is also from the Pop Up Box, has been stamped with Pickett Fence Distress Ink.

I had a lot of fun creating the background for this card.  I stamped the moon and stars from the Pop Up Box and then inked around them with several Distress Inks: Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - A Boo From Me to You

Good morning!  I have another Halloween card to show you today, this time featuring the Trick or Treat stamp set from Magnolia.  The papers are from Maja Design. 

I masked the moon and stars stamp with Tilda and painted them with Distress Inks using the no lines technique before adding Stardust Stickles to the moon and stars.

The pumpkin stamp is also in the set and I have painted that with Distress Inks too.  The sentiments are from this set and the You Are My Pumpkin set and have been embossed with white embossing powder from Nuvo.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.

The cobwebs were cut from coffee filter paper using a Doohickey die from Volume 6 and the leaves are from my stash.

The cute toadstools were cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 9.

I hope you like it and have fun with your Halloween activities tomorrow!

You Are My Pumpkin

 

Good evening!  I have a Halloween card to show you today using the cute You Are My Pumpkin stamp set from Magnolia.  The background paper is from the Celebrations Collection by Maja Design.

I have masked the truck and Tilda together and painted them with Distress Inks before adding Stardust Stickles to the mirror and tail light of the truck.

I have used the toadstool Doohickey dies from Doohickey Volume 9 and added Stickles to them too.

I have embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder onto paper from the Celebration Collection by Maja Design.  The cute pig is also from the stamp set and painted with Distress Inks.  The potion bottle was cut with a Doohickey die from Volume 20.  I have used paper from Maja's Little Street Cafe Collection for the purple liquid.

The 'here's a boo from me to you' and 'trick or treat' sentiments are from the Trick or Treat stamp set by Magnolia.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Halloween

 Good morning!  Today I am back with another card for Craft Heaven for our Halloween theme.  As I don't have any of the new Halloween stamps I wanted to find a Halloween use for another stamp.

This Masquerade Tilda, I decided, is perfect for the job.  I've seen lots of Halloween themed masks like that when I've been out shopping.  The backing paper is from Maja Design's Celebration collection.  I used masks of letters to ink around to create the ghostly looking Boo! sentiment.

I've used the pumpkin Doohickeys from Volume 6 along with a swirling vine from the same collection.

The cobweb diecut is also from Volume 6 and I've added a spider charm from my stash along with lots of cheesecloth to add to the cobweb look.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Craft Heaven DT - Spooky!

Good evening!  Our theme on the Craft Heaven Blog this week is Halloween/Spooky projects.  I have created a sugar skull shaped card and painted Wonderful Tilda from the You Are Invited collection with her face painted for Dia de Muertos.

I painted Tilda with Distress Inks as always, using the no lines technique.  I used Distress Inks and a fine black pen to create Tilda's face make-up, a white gel pen for the highlights in the flowers and eyes and a silver gel pen for the flower details on her dress.

 I used Doohickey dies to create the details on the sugar skull.  The heart nose is an off-cut heart from the heart tag from Volume 9 and a leaf Doohickey from Volume 9 to create the swirls near the nose and mouth.

The swirls on the forehead are actually the balloon string from the balloons Doohickey in Volume 5 and the heart is also from the heart tag.  The flowers around the eyes were cut with a flower Doohickey from Volume 6.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!  Pop over to the blog for more spooky ideas from the rest of the team.

All About Magnolias DT - All About Autumn/Halloween - The Witching Hour

 Good morning!  Today I'm sharing my midway reminder card for All About Magnolia Challenge where this month we have a theme of 'All About Autumn/Halloween'.  As you can see I've gone for the Halloween option.

Yes, it's the witching hour and Tilda is dressed as a devil!  I've used mini Devil Tilda and painted her with Distress Inks.  I've also used a white gel pen for the dots on her cheeks and eyes.  I have cut her out and popped her onto the Weathered Clock die cut from Tim Holtz.  

The background was stamped with moon stamp from The Winner Takes it All collection.  I stamped it with grey ink so that it looked distant and inked around the edge with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.  It's difficult to see now that I have covered the sky with the clock face, but to give the sky a spooky look I had a cloud die cut that I kept moving to give cloud shapes with the distress ink.

I have also used the streetlamp Doohickey from the Paris Nights Doohickey set...

...and the cat from the same set!

 I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at All About Magnolia Challenge.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations.  Thanks for looking! x

Magnolia-licious DT - Anything Goes with Halloween

Good morning!  Today is time for a new challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge and as usual it is an 'Anything Goes' theme but this month we have the option of 'Halloween'.

 I have used Mini Witch Tilda with Pumpkins and painted her with Distress Inks.  The bats are a Whiff of Joy stamp and the sentiment is from Tickled Pink.

I have coloured some cerise pink lace with black to use along the bottom edge.

 The pumpkins were cut with a Doohickey from one of the kits and the base of the card was cut with the recipe card die from last year's advent calendar.

 I have added a witch charm from my stash.

All About Magnolia DT - All About Autumn

 Good morning!  It is time for me to share this months creation for the All About Magnolia challenge.  This month our challenge is 'All About Autumn'.  The main things for me when I think about autumn are obviously the colours, Bonfire Night and Halloween.  As I'm not a huge fan of making cards in yellows, oranges and browns I decided to opt for a Halloween theme and make my first lollipop card - Trick or Treat?  Above is the 'Trick' side of my lollipop card.  I created the Halloween purple cardstock myself using spider and bat stamps from Whiff of Joy.

 I have used the super cute Mini Magnolia Mummy Edwin and painted him with Distress Inks.  I've used the bat stamp again here.

 The fabulous sentiment and frame is from a Tickled Pink stamps set I have and the pumpkin was cut with Doohickey dies.

 I've used another Doohickey die to cut the tag for the 'Happy Halloween' sentiment, which is another Whiff of Joy stamp.

 I've used the Peony Doohickey to create the black flowers and the rest of the flowers and berries are from The Ribbon Girl with the exception of the dark purple roses.

 Here's the 'Treat' side of the lollipop.  I have used the Mini Magnolia Popcorn stamp on this side as that is a favourite Autumn treat in our house while we snuggle up watching films.

 I have painted the image with Distress Inks.

 I have used a different frame around the 'treat?' sentiment, it is also from Tickled Pink Stamps.

 The flowers and berries are the same as for the 'Trick' side.  I have also added a toadstool and black cat to each side, cut with Doohicky dies.

 Have you noticed the cobwebs in the photos?  They are just whispy threads of glue from my glue gun!

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us at All About Magnolia.  Pop over to the blog to see the rest of the team's gorgeous creations.  Thanks for looking! x
