Creepy Halloween

8/24/2019

So pretty - As You See It #207 has a lovely split-panel sketch for us this week!
I decided to go all spook-tacular on this one - I actually got a few Halloween things from the Holiday Catty, which I only do every few years - check out this awesome DSP! It's like a murder mystery board, lol. I whipped up some quick potions, and cut out my details with the beautiful Ornate Frames dies - good times! I love the muted colors, too - just right for sophisticated yet spooky, lol. Keep your eyes peeled!

Leaping For Joy

We have a super sweet sketch for you this week at Fab Friday #157 - it's not too late for one more Valentine!
For myself, though, it turns out it's all about the frogs, lol. ESPECIALLY with our awesome upcoming coordinating products release, that includes a set of framelits JUST for this set, called Hop Around, AND a wonderful all-inclusive set that has several new sentiments to use with ALL our Sale-A-Bration sets! I'm in heaven! With no fussy cutting to deal with, I did a full knot of froggies (yes, they're called a "knot," lol!) and also some little bugs to send them leaping after! I stamped the second half "when I have a friend as amazing as you" on the inside.
I can't wait to check out YOUR creations - see you at the challenge!

Dracula

Still time to get one last Halloween card in with this week's Library Challenge #18 - Dracula!
I knew I wanted to stick with the vampire theme for this one, BUT, the only vampire I have is this little cutie from Cookie Cutter Halloween - so be it! I stuck with the general color scheme and layout of the cover presented - I'm really pleased with how that came out! I had to cobble together a lot of bits and bobs to get the final card, but I still love it - don't get bit!

Spooky Fusion

Well, this is kinda a soft "boo," lol. Fusion has a pastel Halloween challenge going this week - wild!
I really wanted to do a pile of funny pumpkins for this sketch, and I ended up going with 2017's Pick a Pumpkin set - it came with super cute detailed thinlits, too - alas, it was with us too briefly, lol. I combined it with a few details from our current Spooky Sweets - I love that misty background stamp, and I have been using that "Spooky Sweets" sentiment EVERYWHERE! These are like salt water taffy pumpkins - cute!

Cute Spook

Check out the lovely harvest inspiration Hand Stamped Sentiments #300 has for us this week - beautiful! This seems like a great time to sneak in the Sisterhood of Crafters "cute spook" theme, too!
My main inspiration from the pic was that spilled bucket of Halloween candy - yum! After that, I pretty much focused on the "cute spook," and pulled out my Cookie Cutter Halloween for the cute little scaredy-mummy, lol. This little guy is my fave character from this set! I decided to give him a wrapper background - I cut strips of white tissue paper, spritzed them a little with Crumb Cake ink to dirty them up a little, then wrapped away! I added his little treat bag, and we're all set!

The Spider in the Window

Oo, check out this spooky book cover at this week's Library Challenge #17! The Woman in the Window! Fun!
So you know I totally had to go and pull out my retired Happy Scenes bundle - I mean, it's a WINDOW, lol. Then, when I backed the window with Crushed Curry, I knew it could be a Halloween card, too - spooky! See what I did there? Eee hee hee! I crack myself up! Anyway, I also had some fun playing with my embossing paste and the brick mask for the background - it's always a good day when the "messy board" has to come out, lol. Stay spooky!

Look out! We have a spooky color challenge for you this week at Fab Friday #148!
I've been on a bit of a Halloween kick this week - and I'm still going strong today, lol. I couldn't resist pulling out my Merry Cafe set for this challenge - I love that it has this Halloween sentiment, too! I really focused on the colors here, but I tried to add a few spooky details - I recently discovered a hidden stash of these old Spider Web Doilies, too, sigh. I so wish I COULD get a pretty Gorgeous Grape cup like this - I'd even drink Witches Brew for that!
So, what do YOU want to do with these colors? I can't wait to see! See you at the challenge!

Halloween Baking Championship

OK, this is a BRILLIANT challenge at AAA #125 this week! Create a clean and simple card inspired by a TV show!! Cool!!
So, we don't watch TOO much TV around here, but when I need to sit and veg out, folks that know me know I'm a HUGE Food Network fan, lol. We are kicking off my favorite shows right now - starting with Halloween Baking Championship, then on through Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Halloween one is so fun, because the judges all wear costumes for part of the segment - and it's usually pretty hilarious, lol. So, just when I thought I'd have to admit defeat for thinking of something TV related, I came across my old Birthday Bakery set, and the jack o' lantern came on! Yay! I staggered my bakery rows with some stamp-a-ma-jig help, and tried to just pick out a few to color - hope I can still slide this as clean and simple!

Doesn't our color inspiration pic at Sunday Stamps #185 make you want to run right out and play a game of ring toss for a free fish in a baggie?? That's the first thing I thought of, lol. I'll try to put that thought out of my head!
I know it's a bit early for Halloween, but how about some bats instead?? Yes, my holiday catty pre-order is IN THE HOUSE, and I'm breaking in Spooky Sweet today! Now, I don't usually get very many Halloween sets - bug's too big now, and I've been warned not to give the neighbor kiddies heart failure, lol. But this set comes with the very awesome Spooky Bats punch! I can't say no to that!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with! See you at the challenge!

Class is $25, or can be FREE with your order of $30 or more!

Oh my goodness - did you see the inspiration pic at As You See It #161? SCARY! I have to admit, I think I'll try to lighten it up a tiny bit with What Will You Stamp #139's Pick A Pumpkin, lol. I also can't resist adding in these lovely spooky colors from Color Throwdown #466!
So, I was pretty stumped on how to build this card, lol. So I decided to go through the Holiday Catty to crib a "sketch!" Believe it or not, this card is actually CAS'ed from the Christmas Sweater card on page 22 - who knew it would go so well with pumpkins?? Hilarious! Anyway, I gace them all spooky little faces, and resurrected this old Paper Pumpkin stamp from 2014's Boo-tiful Bags kit - pumpkin solidarity here...
