Halloween card Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Wow…thank you SO much for the wonderful response to my Trio of Treats Tote! I'm glad you enjoyed the FREE TUTORIAL and the chance to use some of those empty containers you have sitting around! I hope you also signed up for the Holiday Edition of Create with Connie and Mary, cause I tell you there are MORE fabulous projects in store for you!

And, we are announcing our LAST GUEST DESIGNER today on Create with Connie and Mary! You will love her project…so go find out more about her!

But, I wanted to share a card with you that shows one of the sets we will be featuring next week on Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition…It's Halloween Week! That will be followed by Fall/Thanksgiving Week, Special Product Week and then 3 full weeks of Christmas. There is a little something for everyone! Of course, you can switch out the sets/supplies for many of our projects with other ones! My card uses Out on a Limb today!

This card was fun to make! I started with a base of Cajun Craze cardstock and layered on Basic Black. I ran a piece of Basic Gray cardstock thru the Big Shot with the Spider Web Impressions Folder, then highlighted the raised areas and edges with Basic Black Ink. For the focal element, I stamped the spiders from Out on a Limb at the top of the Whisper White with Basic Black ink, then stamped EEK from Spooky BIngo Bits (told you I love that set for the greetings!) in Cajun Craze. I added a little strip of Frightful Sights Designer Paper and a rhinestone jewel. Then I added a small strip of Silver Glimmer Paper across the top of the Whisper White.

It screams FUN to me!

Again, make sure to check out who our last Guest Designer is over on Create with Connie and Mary! And remember:

EARLY BIRD SAVINGS ENDS SATURDAY AT 11:55 PM EST.

OK…as promised, here is another prototype of my Control Freak Swap for the Holiday Mini. You can see version one HERE. I did like this one…and it is closer to where I ended up. In the end, the spider web and spiders bugged me on this card. So, I opted not to go with it. I did like the moon behind the cat!

For this card, I started with a base of Basic Gray cardstock. I layered on Pumpkin Pie that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Spider Web Impressions Folder. I added a piece of the stripe pattern from Pick Your Poison Designer Paper…can you see the glittery strip of Silver Glimmer paper down the center of the DSP? I also added a small Scallop Border Punch piece of the Silver Glimmer Paper in the upper right corner for a little accent!

I stamped the trio of spiders from Out on a Limb stamp set in Basic Black on the spider web impression. Then I stamped the limb and the cat from Out on a Limb on Whisper White. I punched a circle in a scrap piece of paper, then used Daffodil Delight to ink up the moon in the background. The Whisper White is layered onto Basic Black cardstock.

So…as I said, I'm getting closer to what my finished swap card would look like! Stay tuned!
