Spooky Halloween Wishes by Jeanne Jachna

Halloween is creeping up fast and I just had to sneak in just one more card to celebrate the spooky season.  Halloween is my favorite holiday after all!   And my favorite crafty item is craft dies so this card is all smiles from me! 

Oh and before I forget we have a special sale for you this weekend! No trick! All treats!!! Enjoy 15% off our entire store site October 29-31! No code required. Discounted price shown in shopping cart!

I always start a scene card by arranging different elements on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base.  This one started with that fun Happy Jack O Lantern.  The next think I knew I was adding some Scary Ghosts and foliage. 

The Boo Outline makes a simple sentiment and I like that I can personalize it with different colors.  I thought the black and orange would be traditional, but it would look great in other colors too.. how about candy corn? 

The clear plastic sheet makes it easy to pick up my arrangement and layer it over different colors to decide on a favorite.  I knew I wanted to go with purple.. but color block or Distress Ink?  I decided on an ombre Distress Oxide in Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.

I hope you have  perfect weather for Halloween night so you can sit outside and greet your friends and neighbors as they go a haunting!  I wonder if you'll be able to recognize them!

Get Your Boo On by Michele K. Henderson

Hello Friends!

It's time to Get Your Boo On, and enter our Poppystamps October Challenge, Make it Magical! Create a card or project using at least one Poppystamps product, link it up on our challenge page, and YOU, yes, boooootiful you, could be randomly selected to win an amazing Poppystamps prize! This month's theme is Make it Magical!

Helping me keep it magical this month is one of my very favorite designers, Michele Ferguson, from the blog I Card Everyone. You can find her crafting right here https://icardeveryone.blogspot.com 

Both Michele and I LOVE Halloween, so it was my pleasure to invite her to partner up for this spooky challenge! I LOVE Michele's pretty, layered CAS style, and was super excited to see what she would create. Michele even surprised us with TWO amazing designs featuring Poppystamps products. Take a look!

Michele's first card uses a few Poppystamps favorites: Scary Ghost, Surprise Skeleton, and Boo Outline!

For her Thank BOO card, Michele used Twisted Tree Oval, Surprise Skeleton, Boo Outline, and Simple Thank You! I love the deep blue and the bright yellow - -a surprising and trendy Halloween color combination!

I also used deep blue and jewel tone yellows, oranges, and greens to create the background panel for my own card. I squirted a few drops of alcohol ink and blew them all around using my brand new giant squishy rubber ball air blower. FUN! I could make these colorful YUPO paper cards all day long! I used images from Whittle Ghosts, Snowman and Trees from our newest release, and Boo Outline. A few Fairy Jewels in shades of green, navy and turquoise ad that magical sparkle at the end!

Now it's your turn to enter the Poppystamps challenge! We'd love to see what you'll create! Thank you so much to one of my creative muses, Michele Ferguson, from I Card Everyone!

Thank you so much for joining us today!

Happy Halloween by Marybeth Lopez

Happy October to you all. Marybeth Lopez  here today, sharing a few new Poppystamps dies. These are Christmas dies turned into Halloween cards. I used Poppystamps new die called Snowman and Trees along with Layered House Globe all linked below.

I also used some of the new memory box Glitzy Glitter Pad and last years Halloween Ingredients set for the sentiment.

I cut out a few layers in each color so I could decide what color I wanted to use. I used the purple as the base of the house then layered the black glitter on top. I used the Earth Neutral paper pack for the door and roof.

 

 Thank you for the visit today, I hope I have inspired you to  use your dies in many different ways.

Hope you have a blessed week.

Challenge Reminder - Make it Magical

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a great day.  Maybe you're looking for ideas to get a jump start?  I hope you'll check out the Poppystamps Monthly Challenge!  It's a great way to see the world of craft dies through the eyes of the design team and players.  And who knows?  You might just be the lucky winner of the prize - a $20 gift card to the Poppystamps store! 

This month they're looking for the beautiful and unexpected that goes beyond what you'd see in ordinary life.  You can make that fantasy - think rainbows and unicorns or perhaps a Halloween fright like my card today. 

I used lots of different dies to create a scene. I arranged the die cuts on a piece of plastic the size of my card base and found myself layering on more and more.   I think it's the little details that bring a scene to life. 

Sometimes you just can't find what you want.  The pretty Garden Lantern was just asking for a candle inside.  I could  have cut one by hand but it would never look as clean and crisp as a craft die.. so I did a little digging.  I came up with the  Whittle Fireplace set.  I used the fire's flame for my candle flame, and the ledge of the mantle for the candle itself.    A Brilliant Ring adds a glow around the candle's flame. 

I was so glad I found the fireplace because as soon as I saw the little mice I had to add them among the Whittle Oak Leaves and Mushrooms & Toadstools. 

Some Birch Trees are added to the Distress Oxide inked background and a Scary Ghosts appears from the dark woods.  I added a simple "Boooo!" sentiment with the Poetic Uppercase Alphabet and a scatter of Fairy Drops and Gems for some sparkle. 

Our parent company, Memory Box has added alot of sweet things to their line up including Glitter Glue, Gems, Dew Drops, Embossing Folders and more! 

 

I hope you find some time to play along - I'd sure love to see what you make!

Spooky Barn by Nancy Penir

Hello! And welcome! It's Halloween time. Can you believe it? I'm featuring Poppy's Barn Die Set with a spooky theme, something I love to do with die sets, stretch their use with the seasons and holidays. Scroll down for pictures, fair warning, there's lots to see!

The base of the barn was cut with dark blue cardstock, from Memory Box's fabulous cardstock collection. The rest are bright Halloween colors, also from the MB Collections. 

The following photos are closeups of the areas with spooky characters. The web was white embossed onto vellum and fussy cut.

I love to back my images with another die cut, for a shadow or a glow.

The handmade A2 sized envelope is stamped and stenciled onto butcher paper. 

Inside there's a Halloween greeting, and you can see the area where the barn Pop Up rests.

Hope you enjoyed today's post. And you're inspired to play with combining your dies more. All that I've used is listed below. Happy fall, and Happy Halloween!
