Halloween Crafts All Year Round

glowing pumpkins

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 6-year-old great-grandson. And as usual the background paper was found online. Using my Silhouette, it was much easier sizing it to 5 1/4″ x 4″. Pumpkins stack is from an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s and yellow Stickles for facial features. After coloring I added a second layer of card stock then fussy cut. Image is popped up. Not to toot my own horn but I think it turned out pretty cute.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Halloween Slimline

| Lisa K

Continuing to create with the Spooky and Mice set from Simon Says Stamp, I made a slimline card.

I saw a few cards created by the Simon Says Stamp designers and used a few for inspiration. One had a background of stars, another had the images arranged like this, and another had different coloring and many used the gel pen for highlights. I took all of their inspiration in and created this card. I used Gina K Designs Layering White cardstock for most of the images, and while laying this out, I needed a few more images. I have a pack of white strips from SU Basic White cardstock very close to where I create, so I took a strip and stamped more candy images. Then went to coloring with alcohol markers and adding the gel pen.

I chose three colors for the stars–Lawn Fawn Fake Tan (orange), Manatee (light gray) and SU Misty Moonlight (blue). The star stencil is a very old retired SU one.

I used the stencil, many sentiments, and several images to meet this challenge.

I think that is enough challenges. I will post this to splitcoast stampers and link to Two Old Bats from there.

I enjoyed creating this fun card. This stamp set was definitely a good purchase for my daughter. She is the Halloween fanatic as she loves the holiday and finds many clear and rubber stamps to create with. She owns then and I use them; works perfect for me. Thanks for reading my long post. Have a wonderful last day of summer.

CAS HALLOWEEN pUMPKIN

| Lisa K

I have been coloring Halloween images to create a Clean and Simple Halloween card. Sometimes I want to keep adding, but I think I was able to keep it CAS.

The pumpkins and candy came from the Stamptember collaboration with Simon Says Stamp and Whimsy Stamps, called Spooky and Mice Stamps. I colored them using alcohol based markers, then added a white gel pen for highlights. The greeting is from Lawn Fawn Simply Fall Sentiments set. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the spider web.

This will be placed at Splitcoast Stampers in this week’s Clean and Simple challenge with the Halloween theme. https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/3136679

It will be placed in the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: https://twooldbatshalloweenchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/09/september-2023-mid-month-reminder.html This was actually lined from my Splitcoast Stampers account. We had reached the limit on the blog.

The next challenge is called Halloween Crafts All Year Round: https://halloweencraftsallyearround.blogspot.com/2023/09/sept-15-oct-14-challenge-8.html

It will be entered in the Most Magical Time of the Year: https://mostmagicaltimeoftheyear.blogspot.com/2023/09/challenge-12-most-magical-anything.html

That is quite a few challenges. I have made a few Halloween cards this year for the Dirty Dozen Challenges, which I didn’t post here on the blog and one for a swap. This is the first one I have made with new images where I took time to color. I colored all of the images in the set, but only used a few here.

Thanks for reading!
