Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today sharing a fall card using some products from the September 2023 release. The products I used for my card include the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set with coordinating dies, the Deco Leaves stencil, and the Thankful Shadow dies.

I started by stamping the images from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the following colors: 

Orange Pumpkins – Y35, YR04, YR09, R29 
Teal Pumpkins – BG11, BG13, BG18
Squash – E50, E42, YR21
Leaves – G40, G43, YG67
Stem – E42, E35

After I colored the images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next, I set the stamped images aside and I worked on my card background. I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  I inked the cardstock with the following Distress Oxide inks: Salvaged Patina, Scattered Straw, and Dried Marigold. I randomly applied the ink so that I had different colors throughout the stencil. Next, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the stenciled background. To finish off the background, I flicked some gold metallic ink and Walnut Stain Distress ink onto the background.

Finally, I glued the pumpkins and the Thankful word die onto the card layer. Next, I finished my card by adding it to a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” brown cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!

Hey there! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share a Halloween shaker card using a variety of products.

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

First, I created a cool A2-sized background with the Layered Pumpkins Stencils. I adore these stencils; they make card backgrounds so much fun and are super easy to use!

For the shaker part, I crafted a glittery frame with the Fancy Cake Dies. I then stamped some spooky sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween on the acetate before finishing up the shaker. Inside, I used some Hocus Pocus clay confetti.

To add to the Halloween spirit, I used various dies to create a fun scene:

• Mug- Winter Mug Dies
• Witch Hat, Spiders, Tombstone- Halloween Mug Additions
• Cat- Halloween House
• Tree- Fruit Tree Dies

I gave the die cuts some color with a finger dauber and splattered acrylic paint for an extra cool effect. Then, I simply glued them onto the card panel. Finally, I adhered the panel to an A2-sized white card base.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the blog today. I hope I’ve inspired you to combine some PPP products for a spooktacular Halloween card.

Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying Halloween Theme Week! It’s Stefanie here today and I’m sharing a pair of cards I created using the Halloween Signs stamp set, the Layered Argyle Stencils, and some cute hearts from the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti.

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

To create the cards, I started by stamping the images out from the recently released Halloween Signs stamp set and coloring them with a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus. I also added a cute little ghost from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set.

Pumpkins: Y3, Y4, YR240
Bat: W5(C), W3(C)
Ghosts: W1(C), W00(C)
Browns: E44-E40(C)

Next I used the Halloween Signs Coordinating Dies and the Halloween Envelopes Coordinating Dies to cut out the images.

I knew I wanted to create clean and simple cards, but I wanted to add a little extra touch as well so I decided to trim down my card front on both sides and add a little sliver of coordinating background. I created the background using the Layered Argyle Stencils and distress oxides in Bundled Sage, Antique Linen, and Black Soot.

The card front that I trimmed down was adhered directly onto the stenciled background and the images were adhered on top using foam tape for dimension.

For final touches, I added a couple hearts to each card using the Ghostly Friends Clay Confetti.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my cards!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Channin here and I’m so so excited to be here at Pretty Pink Posh for Halloween week!! I LOVE Halloween and I had an absolute blast creating this fun pumpkin card and I can’t wait to share it with you!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

To create this card I first die cut the three pumpkins out of orange cardstock with the Stitched Pumpkin Dies. I then ink-blended over the pumpkins with Spiced Marmalade and Crackling Campfire Distress Ink. I used a shader brush to add definition to the pumpkin ribs. I then die cut the pumpkins with the face dies and set the pumpkins aside.

Next, I die cut the pumpkins a second time but this time out of light yellow cardstock. I then ink-blended the pumpkins in Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Ink and then adhered the orange pumpkins over the yellow with foam adhesive. 

Next, I die cut the stems for the pumpkins out of Kraft cardstock. I then ink-blended the stems in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Ink and added additional details with copics. I then adhered the stems to the pumpkins with liquid adhesive. 

Next, I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock and then ink-blended them in Rustic Wilderness and Forest Moss Distress Ink. Once again I used a shader brush to add definition to the leaves. I then die cut the vines out of dark green cardstock and ink-blended them with a little Forest Moss. 

Next, I ink-blended the front of an A2 top-folding Kraft card base with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then pressed some of the Vintage Photo ink onto a sheet of acetate, added water and then splattered the water-downed ink over the corners of the card front. When the card base was dry I then adhered the pumpkin, leaves and vines to the card front. 

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Boo to You stamp set in Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I then poured white embossing powder over the sentiment, heat set it and then die cut it out with the matching die. Lastly, I finished the card by adhering the sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi crafty friends! Marine here, kicking off Halloween Week with this monochromatic mix & match featuring a bunch of images from different sets. Monochromatic cards are super fun and easy to make, so I hope that my spooky little scene will inspire you to create your own, and it doesn’t have to be black & white, of course, purple shades or green shades would look amazing on a Halloween card!

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

I started off by stamping my images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph’it brush markers.

And each time I make a monochromatic card, my thinking process is the same: I picture the images in my head with colors, and where I would have used a light color (e.g. yellow or aqua) I’m using light shades of grey, where I would have used a medium color (e.g. pink or green) I’m using medium shades of grey, and where I would have used a dark color (e.g. black or purple) I’m using dark shades of grey. It’s that simple ^^

Here are the stamp sets I used to make my card:• Autumn Pumpkins: big pumpkins, small leaf
• Ghost Friends: ghosts, hat, bucket• Fall Jar: big leaf• Boo To You: bats, spider web, small pumpkin, spider• Halloween Signs: cauldron• Halloween Wreath: hat

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created a spooky night sky. I first masked a circle in the middle of my piece of paper, and colored the rest of the panel using hickory smoke and black soot distress inks. I mixed some black soot distress ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters on the paper, and I did the same with white ink. I removed the circle mask, let the paper dry, masked the whole panel but the circle, and then added a little bit of hickory smoke distress ink all along the rounded edges of that circle.

To add more spookiness to my night sky, I used the Spooky Sky stencils. I first added some clouds using black soot distress and a very light hand, I didn’t want them to be bold black. And I added a few bats using black soot distress ink again, but this time I used a heavier hand because I wanted those bats to really pop against my night cloudy sky.

I heat embossed my “Boo To You” greeting from Ghost Friends in the middle of the moon using clear embossing ink and silver embossing powder, I attached all my images using foam squares, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that’s it! I hope that my card will inspire you to give the monochromatic coloring a try! Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day.
