Hi folks, it’s Kavya and this is my first time on the PPP blog. I am super excited to share this fun pumpkin patch themed Halloween card! The Fall release pairs so beautifully with the Halloween release and here is one way to use them together. Quick note, I do love fussy cutting so this card involves a fair amount of it :) 

I first started off by creating a background for my card. I ink blended an A2 cardstock with Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks and used the cloud portion of the Spooky Sky stencils with white pigment ink. For the grass, I used a teal cardstock and ink blended the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide. Then, I splattered some water and matching paint on both :) Then I stamped and colored various images from Halloween Circles, Fall Circles and Halloween Wreath stamp sets. For the pumpkin, I decided to use the Elegant Pumpkin die and use the paper piecing technique to ‘color’ the pumpkin using various colored cardstock. I used a darker color for the outline and a lighter color for the inner die cuts. Finally, I finished the card by adding a sentiment out of gold glitter cardstock using the Halloween Script Die. 

That’s it folks! I hope this card inspires you to combine various releases to create a fun card!

Happy Crafting, Kavya

Hey crafty friends!  Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards.  I’m so excited to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Theme week!  I love Halloween card making and I’m thrilled to be sharing the project I have created.  

Have you taken advantage of the 15% savings on Halloween items this week?

To start my card, I stamped the BOO image from the BOO stamp set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly black ink. I used a variety of copic markers to colour the images (which are adorably sized and cute).  Once colored, I decided I’d like to give the images an eery spooky feel so I used Distress Ink in Pumice Stone to lightly blend ink around the edges of each letter.

Setting the coloured letters aside, I started working on the layers of the card base.  I took a piece of slate grey card stock cut to 5.25” x 4” and used Distress Ink in Black Soot to lightly blend ink from the outer edges in towards the middle.  I adhered the ink blended panel to an orange A2 cardbase with liquid adhesive. 

Before adhering my BOO letters to the card base, I placed the card panel in to my stamping tool and positioned the letters on to the card front as a guide and then stamped the spider (also from the BOO stamp set) with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  Taking a ruler and copic multiliner, I drew a line upwards for a thread and added eyes with a white gel pen. To adhere my BOO letters to the cardbase I used some foam tape to pop them up and give dimension.  

I used another sentiment from the BOO stamp set and white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed in to a thin strip.  This was adhered directly to the card with liquid adhesive.  As a final embellishment and to add some sparkle I adhered some mini gold star confetti pieces – I love how they catch the light!

Thank you for stopping by today and joining me for some spooky card making fun! I hope you enjoyed my project and all the inspiration on the blog this week.

Have a great day! Elaine x

Hi, it’s Jeanne! I hope you’re enjoying Halloween Theme week! It’s a great way to get ideas for some Halloween cards of your own and YES, there is a sale too! Enjoy 15% off all items in the Halloween Section during this event!

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love sending out cards to EVERYONE! Special treat bags are set to the side for the neighbors’ kids and when my own were little there was always something special for all the kids in their class. 

My card today features the Monster Hugs stamp set. I love these non traditional images because they stand out from all the others.. AND.. I know I’ll be using these all year round for kids birthday cards too! The accent pieces – the candy, stars and moon – are from the Halloween Wreath set.  Do you see the monster holding the lollipop? All of the images are colored with Copic Markers.

I layered the die cut monsters on a Distress Oxide inked background.  Adding stripes of color adds depth and dimension to the design. I applied Salty Ocean where I wanted to place the sentiment so the ink is a little lighter there. Blueprint Sketch finishes off the evening sky. The grassy forefront is inked in Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.   The panel is splattered with water, watered down Blueprint Sketch and white Ink. 

I colored and cut a big stack of these little guys so I know that all of my tags and card are going to come together quick so I can share loads of Monster Hugs!

I hope you enjoyed my card and remember to stop back by tomorrow for some more Halloween fun!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here with a Halloween card and tag duo using a combination of old and new stamp sets- perfect for Halloween theme week!

Need to stock up on your Halloween items? All this week, save 15% on items in our Halloween section!

I decided to go with a pastel theme for a lot of my Halloween cards this year. I hope you like the color palette!

Let’s begin. First, I cut a 5 inch white cardstock and ink blended lightly with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the Spooky Sky Stencils to make my own patterned paper: the clouds were blended with Tumbled Glass, bats with Shaded Lilac, and stars with Mustard Seed. I love the layer stencils that Pretty Pink Posh offers. They can easily be used to make your own patterned paper look by ink blending through the stencils with different ink colors or Glitz Glitter Gel. I then cut the panel with a 4.5 inch square die with stitching details all around. 

Next, I white heat embossed the Boo word stamp on a violet cardstock and cut with the coordinating dies. I then stamped 3 bats from the Halloween Wreath stamp set and colored them with Copic markers: N3/01/00. For the sentiment, I cut a black strip of cardstock and white heat embossed the Happy Halloween To You from the Boo Stamp Set. 

I also cut a 4.5 inch vellum to soften the look of the stenciled panel. The Boo word is foam mounted onto the vellum. I then added glue on the back of the vellum (using the Boo word to hide the glue marks) and adhered to the stenciled panel. 

For the tag, I stamped the circle with the bats from the Halloween Circles and colored it with Copic: N3/1/0, V12, Y18/13/11. I then cut the circle with the coordinating die cut. The Halloween Circle Die comes with 3 different die cuts that can be layered together and used for card or tag making. For my tag, I cut the zigzag circle in pink cardstock and the bigger die cut in violet to perfectly match my card. 

That’s all for this card and tag set. I hope you enjoyed today’s project share! Stop by tomorrow for another day of Halloween inspiration!

Today I have a spooky monster card and video to share. This card features the Boo Shaker die set and the Monster Hugs stamps and dies. 

To create this card I first die cut two pumpkin frames out of white cardstock using the Boo Shaker Dies. I then cut the “boo” out of the pumpkins. Next, I traced around the pumpkin frames onto white cardstock and then fussy cut them out. I then ink blended out the frames and the solid pumpkins with several Distress Oxides (Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade & Ripe Persimmon). 

Next, I die cut the solid pumpkins with jack-o-lantern face die from the Boo Shaker die set. I then heat embossed a scrap of cardstock with glitter black embossing powder and then die cut it with the jack-o-lantern face die. I then adhered the pumpkin frames to the solid pumpkins and inlaid the black glittery faces into the pumpkins. 

Next, I stamped and copic colored several monsters from the Monster Hugs stamp set. When I finished coloring the images I then die cut them out with the matching dies. I then ink blended the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with several Distress Oxides (Wilted Violet, Black Soot, Cracked Pistachio & Peeled Paint). After I finished ink blending I then added water spots and black spots with black watercolor. When the card was dry I then adhered the pumpkins and monsters with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished the card with a glittery black heat-embossed sentiment which fussy cut out and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive. 

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

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am so excited to be sharing a card that uses the much anticipated exclusive, limited edition collaboration set for STAMPtember! It’s called Skiing Bear and it is just so adorable! 

Don’t forget: once this set sells out, it’s gone for good! Get this holiday set, which won’t be released again, while you can!

I started my card by stamping my images from the Skiing Bear set with a Copic friendly black ink. I then colored the images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I added a little glitter to my trees and set them aside to dry. 

For my card panel I ink blended Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet to make my background. I splattered the background with a little white paint and coordinating reinker and set it aside to dry. I then used the Stitched Borders 1 die to create my hillside. I attached the hills to my card panel and used the Nature Essentials die to frame the panel. Lastly, I attached my images and sentiment with foam adhesive to finish my card. 

The other designers have been creating with this stamp set and will be sharing them in blog posts and/ or on social media.

I hope that you all love this stamp set and are inspired by the samples the design team created. A giant thank you to Simon Says Stamp for letting us be part of STAMPtember®.

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the new Woodland Thanks stamp set. I had fun with a bright colour palette, instead of more traditional fall colours.

I began by stamping a few sheets of the images in the Woodland Thanks stamp set. I used a brown ink to stamp them, which works well for autumn projects and gives a softer outline than my usual black ink. This is Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf ink, which is copic friendly.

I coloured the images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I arranged the images on a square card base, leaving room for a sentiment in the centre. I adhered them with liquid glue, cutting away anything overhanging the card base edges.

Next, I heat embossed the large ‘Thankful’ word, using a pearlescent copper embossing powder. I die cut the word with the coordinating die, then added a couple of layers behind for dimension.

I stamped an additional sentiment directly on the card base, the adhered the stacked word die above.

To finish, I adhered some Espresso jewels in the smallest size around the card, for a touch of autumn sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you were inspired by this card.
