Is Pumpkin Spice a Carb? by Madisen

Today on the blog I have a Trick or Treat card perfect to spook! Tip: don't be like me and make sure the ink to the silhouette is totally blacked out. I see I could have done a few more stamps, but art isn't perfect I suppose! Happy Stamping!

 I started with picking out the

Kids in Costumes 

I took a blank sheet of paper and taped it to my craft glass to try and buff out some color to make grass

I then flipped it opposite, taped off a circle for the moon, and began buffing some spooky nighttime sky scene. 

After that was revealed, I went in with a Typeset Scallop for the grass effect

I finished up with the Plus Sign Background and Writing Triangles

Lastly I finished up with the too-cute Is Pumpkin Spice a Carb?

Cauldron Bubble!

 Hey Stampaholics! Today I'm back with a whimsical Halloween Card! This time of year is all too fun! I hope you enjoy and get inspo for some of your projects!

I began by stamping these two images, coloring them with alcohol markers and fussy cutting them.

Dancing Lady

New Age Pot

I then did some background art with distress oxide and distress ink by Tim Holtz. To finish it off I added some background stamps listed below. 

Twilight Zone Swirl

Numbers Set

I didn't have any Halloween verbiage or sayings that I was fond of for this piece, so I took my hand crank label maker by Dymo and printed away.

Hi, my crafty friends.

 

It’s time to start into my favorite season.

 

I created an ATC using the dictionary page stamp as a background (so versatile) and of course a fitting sentiment for the worried little mice.

 

The stamps:

 Have a wonderful time!

 Luv ya ♥

 

 

The end is near bookmark by Cathy N

                                    Good evening, today I have a bookmark for you. 

I was digging through my stamps, and I found The End is near and I thought that would be perfect for a bookmark. 

I just so happened to have some bookmarks printed off, so I grabbed one and some other stamped and mad a bookmark.

I then stamped blowing dandelion  on the bottom of the bookmark and writing and scribbles on the sides and then layered it on black cardstock to make it stronger. Later after the glue dries, I'm going to laminate it.

In my defense..... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Today I made a card- I hope you enjoy.

For the background I used acrylic paints. Two different yellows and a bit of orange. Then I applied a few swaths of iridescent gold. Then I stamped the sky of stars in orange dye ink.

Once the back ground was dry, I made my layers of card stock for the final card. I also painted the moon and lady body. I also used fish lady for the bottom half of her. I did cut the hands of peering lady so they would be in front of the moon face.

I felt she needed some sparkle so I added crystals strategically.

I used foam tape behind to pop her off the card. And of coarse I love the phrase! I glued the words down and then painted them yellows.

And that is it! Hope you like my odd dancing girl!

Perfect Phase tag by Cathy N

 Cathy here with a tag for you all today. 

I started out with a white tag and made my background with different colors of purple distress ink

I had a lot of ink on my craft sheet, so I ended up making 2 tags. I used the second one to make the tag. I then stamped cross marks background in green and orange all over the background.

Next, I stamped Large Fairy Lady and colored her with copic markers. Before I cut her out, I added a sheet of holographic frosted glitter sticker paper. You can see from the photo the paper has stars on it.

 

Lasty, I added some sticker borders and saying to the tag.

Old Bats by Tracy Blackwolf
