SSS Monday+Wednesday Challenge: Halloween

A quick project I come across when I make my ghost slide card. I am packing candies for my kids classmates. I need to make a lot so I try to keep it quick and simple.
I will enter this one to 2 Challenge: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Halloween Inspiration and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Halloween


The ghost from Lawn Fawn booyah stamp set is too cute. I can't stop working with them.

1) I cut a 3x3 1/2" card and fold in the center to create a mini [card]. 2) I white emboss the ghost and boo from Lawn Fawn booyah stamp set. 3) I cut a hole to stick the lollipop trough and adhere the top with strong tape.

Hi there, I made a slide card for  Online Card Class - Wild Card.
If you like making interactive cards/project or just want to learn new technique. This is the class for you. I've been taking OCC for many times and this one is one of my favorite. I had so much fun. More cards/project to share.

I will enter this card for both Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Halloween Inspiration
and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Halloween. This slider card is perfect for the theme.  

1) I create the background using Distress ink: dusty concord and black soot. Splash water from a water color brush. Stamp the little stars with champagne VersaMark Dazzle.
2) I stamp my ghost,  his lovely cat custom and pupkim treat bag in Memento ink and color with Copic. 3) I follow the video from OCC-Wild Card to create my slide card. 4) I white emboss the sentimet to make it pop on black card front.

I add some dazzle from Zig wink of stella brush on my ready to trick or treating ghost. He is so cute.

PTI MIM#262 Pumpkin Stamps 3 Ways

I have 3 cards to share today. I made for PTI MIM#262 Pumpkin Stamps 3 Ways. I love how Ashley's unique way to use one pumpkin stamp to create cards in 3 different style.

I am using Polka Dot Parade#8.
Card 1: Traditional way, Traditional fall color and style.

I trim 2pcs pattern paper from Classic Kraft Gingham pattern paper and adhere on a kraft card base. I ink the pumpkin in Summer Sunrise and sponge the edge with Orange Zest to create a bit shadow on the pumpkin and stamp on die cut white circle. I stamp the sentiment and pumpkin stem in Dark Chocolate ink. I adhere the circle on die cut Orange Zest scallop circle and adhere it on card front. 

Card 2: Unique way to use pumpkin stamp
I love how she use the pumpkins as petals to create a flower.  So super clever and I have to give it a try.

I adhere a piece pattern vellum on a Sweet Blush card base. I stamp the pumpkin 5 times on white card stock in Sweet Blush.Cut them out and adhere on card front. I tie a sweet blush button with twine and adhere in the flower center. I stamp the sentiment from Think Big Favorites #1 mini stamp set in Dark Chocolate. I cut the edge and adhere in the right corner. I add glitter  White Blizzard NUVO Crystal Drop.

Card 3: Trendy
I use the soft color tone inks and the die cut frame. 

I create the background from Wreath for All Seasons stamp set in Fresh Snow and Orange Zest ink on kraft card base. I adhere a die cut Orange Zest stitch rectangle on card. I stamp 3 pumpkins in Sweet Blush, Lemon Tart and Spring Moss. Stamp the smile in True Black and the stem in Smokey Shadow. Cut out and pop on card front with foam tape. I stamp the sentiment in Dar Chocolate ink on white card strip and adhere on card front.
I add Irresistible on the eyes.

SSS Wednesday+Monday Challenge

I am so looking forward to Halloween.  I know it a month away but I am so ready to pull out all my Halloween stamps and dies to play with.

I made this project combine 2 Simon Says Stamp challenges: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Gift it and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Powder Powder 

This is the gift set I made for my kids teachers. Candy and lip balm. I use Papertrey Ink Halloween Treats&Sweets stamp set.

1)For the lip balm, instead pop it out of the clear package,  I cut it out with scissor and keep it in the original container.

2) I trim a 8"x3 1/8 " black card stock and fold in half and die cut one side with circle die to create the window. 3) I clear emboss the eyes and nose and white emboss the sentiment and stitched smile. 4) Place the lip balm through the window and adhere with strong double side tape.

5)For the candy, I stamp the same stamp in black ink on wax gift bag. Put candies in and sign my kids name in the back.

I have more Halloween cards and project to share.
