Ghostly Cats by Birgit Norton

The spooky season is upon us and Poppystamps has got some fun Halloween dies in the store, like these Ghostly Cats and Perky Pumpkins.  Read on to see how these cute circular cards came together.

I started with the trio of Ghostly Cats, cutting the cats from black cardstock and the ghostly sheets from white cardstock.  Creating cute layered die cuts like these doesn't get any easier than this!

I opted to make round cards for this project by cutting three scalloped rings using the Scallop Pinpoint Rings.  I made purple, circular card bases from the Lavender cardstock pack by scoring and folding purple cardstock and aligning the circle die just over the folded edge before running it through my die cutting machine.  I then glued the scalloped ring onto each circular card front.

I stamped sentiments from Bugs and Hisses onto each of the card fronts using black ink.

Next, I cut the Perky Pumpkins using colors from Orange Peel and Cilantro cardstock packs, assembling them onto the front of each circular card.

I also stamped the spider from the Bugs and Hisses stamp set onto each card to finish them off.

Spooky Cats by Tricia Barber

Hello! Tricia here with you today to share a cute Halloween card using the new Ghostly Cats die set.  These are so adorable!  I die cut from black and white cardstock.  I know this card will be perfect for my mother in law.   The sentiment is from the Bugs and Hisses sentiment set. I white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed it down. 

I love to create the look of lace under vellum. I have used this technique before and it pairs so well with colored vellum.   I used the Nordic Fancy Background die from dark purple cardstock. I then overlayed this with a dark purple vellum.  I added the cats and sentiment and then I was able to strategically place my adhesive to add this to the card panel.  I had a 3/4 inch hinge so that I could adhere the vellum to the back of the card base. It looks like lacy in the background. 

I used a white card base to really show off the  Nordic Fancy Background die cut.  To finish off the card, I added some Fairy Jewels to the card to add a little sparkle.

Bundled Bear By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am sharing a Nordic Forest Scene with you today featuring Poppy Stamps Nordic Bundled Bear and Nordic Dimpled Trees. This card could easily be a fall card if you use a different sentiment, so the trees and bears are very versatile.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What kind of trees do you have in your yard?
A: Me? Oak and Arborvitae

Step 1: I started my card by using the pine with gold background paper from the Poppy Stamps Yuletide Cheer 6x6 Paper Pad. Then I die cut the Nordic Dimple trees in darker green paper and some of the dark green pattern paper from the patterned pad.

Step 2: I die cut the winter gear for the polar bears from gold and the same greens I used for the trees. Then I arranged them in a scene on my card.

Step 3: I finished my card by adding the Merry Christmas Moonlight Script Die to the top and gold Christmas Fairy Jewels to the trees.

Happy MEOW-LOWEEN by Lisa Elton

Have you seen the latest Halloween release? There are some adorable "too cute to spook" items available! I've created a scene featuring the sweetest little trio of Ghostly Cats for you today. Take a look...

How cute are they? This scene came together so easily and quickly. Let me show you my steps.

I started by inking a big harvest moon onto a white panel. Then I masked off the moon and inked a dusky evening sky. The sentiment from the Bugs and Hisses stamp set was stamped on the moon using black ink. I backed this panel with a black mat then popped them onto a tent fold card base.

I gathered my dies (Ghostly Cats & Dainty Mushrooms) and some Memory Box plaid paper.

After cutting all of my pieces, I played around with placement, then glued everything together. The ghostly overlay on the cats was cut from vellum.

I centered this cluster under the harvest moon then added a few Autumn Fairy Jewels.

These cutie little mushrooms aren't just a fall die. They can be dressed up any way you like for whatever season! I thought these rusty orange plaid tops were cute for Halloween. The spiders are included in the Bugs and Hisses stamps set. They added just the right amount of creepy fun!

Just imagine all of the incredible things you could create with these goodies in your collection! I wish you a Happy MEOW-LOWEEN!

Let It Snow Penguin By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Step #3: I used the Poppy Stamps Nordic Fancy Background Die with white cardstock mounted on metallic white paper from the Poppy Stamps Rainbow Reflections Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad.

Step #4: I mounted the background on purple paper that matches the penguin's outfit and added the elegant Poppy Stamps Let it Snow Moonlight Script Die in two shades of purple. I finished my card by mounting the penguin slightly to the left.

A Spook-tacular Birthday! by Rachel Duong

Hi crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a Halloween card full of festivities and bits of spooky fun. The Poppystamps "Perky Pumpkins" are gourd-geous and the "Ghostly Cat/s" are super clever and adorable.

To create this card I die cut the pumpkins out of watercolor paper. I painted them using combinations of yellow mixed in with predominant colors of orange, green and brown. Next I glued the pieces together and set aside. I die cut the cat out of black glossy paper and the ghost costume out of white glitter paper from the 6x6 Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad (see below). I die cut the "Cute Spider/s" out of the Black Glossy Paper (see below).

I used a heavy black cardbase and stamped the sentiment from the "Bugs and Hisses" Poppystamps clear stamp set with Versamark ink. I sprinkled clear embossing powder on the ink and applied heat. I love the effect of a message barely there and if angled just so...the shiny texture can be seen! I chose a "Happy Birthday" font from the Open Studio gold foiled greeting tabs.

I arranged all the pieces and then glued them down. Also I added a few thick pieces of card stock to the back of the cat to pop it up and provide dimension.

Finally I splattered gold acrylic paint around the pumpkins for a dramatic flair!

I drew a line with a black Sharpie from the spider to the top of the card to represent a cobweb. Also I adhered a leaf falling to the ground below.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love these Poppystamps "Perky Pumpkins" and "Ghostly Cats". I always have an awesome time creating festive holiday themed cards. I hope you do too. I will be back tomorrow with another card. Yay! Take card and have a Spook-tacular day!
