It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  It’s a fun sketch this week to try!

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN

We’re getting closer and closer to Halloween!  I thought this sketch was perfect for the little critters in the Spooky Halloween set!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Gray Granite cardstock was added to the front.
  • Two 1 x 3-1/2 strips of candy Spooky Sweet Designer Paper were weaved together with a 1 x 5-1/4 strip of orange DSP and adhered to the front.
  • The bats from Spooky Halloween were stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner.
  • The cat was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Granny Apple Green and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends.  She was cut with the Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The cauldron is a die-cut in the Spooky Sweet DSP that was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals next to the cat.
  • The bubbles were colored with Wink of Stella for some shimmer.
  • Spooky greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 2 Basic White cardstock and tucked partially under the side of the cat.
  • A trio of green Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the bubbles and the background DSP.

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a spooky scene!

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN

I’ve been wanting to use the Twisted in Time trees for a Halloween card, and this was a perfect time!  Hurry and grab them…they are on the Last Chance list!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock was brushed with Memento Black Ink around the top edges.
  • A 3 x 4-1/2 piece of Basic Black cardstock was torn about 1″ from the top.  Both the torn edges were brushed with White Craft Ink, then layered together on the bottom of the Pumpkin Pie layer.  It was added to the front.
  • The moon was punched with the 2″ Circle Punch from Daffodil Delight cardstock and brushed with Pumpkin Pie Ink, it was added to the top.
  • Two trees were cut with the Twisted in Time Dies from Basic Black cardstock using the Die, then adhere to each side, trimming off the excess on the edges.
  • The house was cut from Basic Black cardstock and a background piece of Daffodil Delight was trimmed to fit behind the windows and doors.  They were adhered together.  A Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends was used to color the bottom of the windows and doors for a shadow look.  The house was added to the front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The bats were cut from Basic Black cardstock and adhered to the moon with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Spooky from Spooky Halloween stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 2 piece of Spooky Sweets Designer Paper and the end cut at an angle.  It was adhered to the bottom on the front.
  • A trio of yellow 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls were added around the bottom.
