Ghostly Cats
by Birgit Norton

IMG_7753The 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.

IMG_7747I 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!

IMG_7748I 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.

IMG_7749I stamped sentiments from Bugs and Hisses onto each of the card fronts using black ink.

IMG_7746Next, I cut the Perky Pumpkins using colors from Orange Peel and Cilantro cardstock packs, assembling them onto the front of each circular card.

IMG_7752I also stamped the spider from the Bugs and Hisses stamp set onto each card to finish them off.

A Happy Halloween Banner
by Lisa Elton

24  0923  009 copyHello sweet Poppy peeps! Lisa here today sharing a spook-tacular little Happy Halloween banner that I created for our granddaughter! There are so many cute Halloween dies in the shop and I couldn't decide which one to create a card with. So I threw caution to the wind, cut a bunch and put them all together!

24  0923  004 copyMany of the Poppystamps dies let you cut several items at once. That was the case with the pumpkins, spiders and cats. It made my job quite easy for this project. This cutie little witch came together in a snap too. Once they were all cut, they needed a "vehicle" to make up the banner.

24  0923  002 copyThe Scallop Pinpoint Rings were just what I needed! I reversed the way you would typically used them for something a little different. I cut several sizes from white cardstock then ink blended the solid circle in soft blue.

24  0923  007 copyEach circle got it's own little arrangement of Ghostly Cats, Perky Pumpkins and Cute Spiders.

24  0923  008 copySunny Orange and Greenery paper pads from our parent company Memory Box, along with Majestic Hues and Glitzy Glitter paper pads available in the shop, gave me my festive fall palette.

24  0923  006 copyI love the way the Lavish Happy Halloween die looks cut from this black glittery paper. The Ghostly Cats were cut using the same paper then topped with vellum. Spiders aren't quite as scary when they're purple and sparkly!

24  0923  009 copyA tiny hole punch was used on opposing sides of the circle with twine threaded through for hanging. I used a small piece of black spider web Washi tape on the back of each circle to hold the twine in place. A labor of love for our Sweet P. I think she'll enjoy it and I hope you do too!

Witchy Night
by Tricia Barber

IMG_5776

Happy Halloween! I created this witchy pumpkin patch using the new Spooktacular release.  I die cut the Lovable Witch, Perky Pumpkins and Cute Spiders to create this little scene.  I used all white cardstock and my alcohol markers to color the images in.  There are so many ways that you can add color! 

IMG_5777

I added some Distress Oxide inks to the main card panel and flicked with some water.  I layered the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid adhesive. My sentiment was created with the Lavish Happy Halloween die.   

IMG_5778

I colored the black spiders with a little bit of glitter to give them some sparkle!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

live in Buckeye AZ (aka the surface of the sun) with my husband and fur baby. Our two kids are grown and live on opposite sides of the country. Born to craft and forced to work in accounting so both sides of my brain get a workout and often argue with each other. I love bright colors and sparkly things. Excited to be guesting for this month's challenge at Poppy Stamps!

Spooky Cats
by Tricia Barber

IMG_5748

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. 

IMG_5751

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. 

IMG_5749

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.
