31 Nights of Halloween - Night 21 - Special Guest Rachel Alvarado

Good evening, Whimsy friends!  Tonight we welcome the lovely and talented Rachel Alvarado back to the blog!

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to night 21 of the Whimsy Stamps Annual 31 Nights of Halloween! I'm Rachel and I'm so happy to be guest designing tonight. I created a non-spooky, Halloween-themed box card tonight featuring some of the cute little candy corn critters from the "Candy Corn Dress Up Stamp Set". These fun little images are all decked out for a night of trick or treating!

To start my card, I first stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I then used Copic Markers to color them and used my Brother ScanNCut to quickly cut them out. Next, I used a paper trimmer to cut some black card stock and make a box card base with the help of a scoring board as well as some adhesive. I added some grassy strips into the center of my box card by diecutting some black card stock with the grass dies from the Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set.

Copic Colors Used:

• Oranges: YR00, YR02, YR04, YR09, YR19
• Whites: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W5, W7, W9
• Grays: W2, W4, W6
• Purple: V01, V15, V17, V09
• Yellows: Y13, YR20, YR21, V12

For my ink blended pieces, I blended a mix of Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, and Black Ink Distress Inks. Lastly, I adhered my images with some liquid adhesive as well as some trees that I had die cut using the Tree Assortment Die Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed!

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 20 and don't forget it's release day!

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

Have you been enjoying all the spooky creations so far this month? They've been absolutely gorgeous haven't they? Before I start telling you about my card, I just wanted to remind you we've had another fab release today, if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to pop over to the store. It's cute, you won't want to miss it!

Alrighty then! Let's talk pumpkins. This row of cuties are from the FaDoodle Fall Set. I coloured them up with copics and then stamped the faces on top. Sorted.

Using the largest die from the Frame Doodles Scallop Rectangle Die Set and another die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles, I've created a frame for the pumpkins. I used tape to hold the two dies in position so I could cut three, identical frames. I've stacked and stuck them together, to add some depth to the card. 

All I needed then, was a sweet little spider, a sentiment and this pumpkin paper from the Vintage Halloween Paper Pack and the job was done. I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great day...

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 19

Hello friends! It's Michele here with another fun Halloween card to share! I absolutely love, love, love this Slimline Hourglass Die! It is the perfect backdrop for all of your spooky Halloween goodness! The "Glass" was cut out with vellum.  I cut the "sand" using orange card stock and used the Halloween Expressions Stencil to fill it in.  I added spiders and webs from Whimsy's new die set.  I applied crackle paste over my spider and let it do its magic.  Once dry, I rubbed black ink over it.  

I added the EEK! Word and Shadow Die and a few spider sequins, from the Sparkletz-Creepy collection,  to finish off the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by on Day 19!
