31 Nights of Halloween - Night 4

 

Hello!  Tricia here with you tonight to share a spooky cute card using the Candy Corn Dress Up!  I started off by taking a black card panel and embossed with the Bats Galore Slimline Embossing Folder.  I love the spooky details that it adds to the card.   

I stamped the images from Candy Corn Dress Up onto Neenah cardstock and colored with my Copic markers.  I added some details with a white gel pen to the images.  I used the following Copics for my coloring: 

W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, C1, C3, C5, 0, YR04, YR07, YR09, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19, BG11, BG53, BG13, R20, YG03, YG23, YG17, E41, E42, E44

I die cut the panel with the Build-a-Graveyard die set.   I used Distress Inks of Prized Ribbon, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron and placed behind the die cut panel.  I then stamped the Grave Epitaphs with several of the images from the stamp set.   I then die cut some of the extra images: grave, fence, bats and skull using the Build-a-Graveyard die set to spook up my card. 

I love Halloween and just love that Whimsy Stamps celebrates with a month long of inspiration through the 31 Nights of Halloween!  So much fun to be had each day - be sure to watch for the posts every night!  Play along with us and link up your Halloween creations - see the post here for the link up and details.

Special Guest - Oliver Gleason

Hi, Whimsy friends!  Today we welcome the talented Oliver Gleason back to the blog!

This is what Oliver had to say about this card, "For this card I wanted to keep it winter themed but couldn’t resist some spooky too!"  I think he nailed it, don't you?!  

To create this card, Oliver paired one of the Gossip Holiday Girls with the Build-a-Graveyard Dies and Grave Epitaphs stamp set.

For his background Oliver stamped the Goth Skulls Background and matted it with black cardstock.  He trimmed down a paper from the Blurry Flurries pack, matted it and adhered it on top.

Using the Build-a-Graveyard Dies, Oliver die-cut the gravestones and fence.  He added sentiments to the gravestones with the Grave Epitaphs set.  He stamped the girl from Gossip Holiday Girls and colored her with alcohol markers.

He adhered his elements with foam tape and added a die-cut border at the bottom.  He finished with a sentiment from Gossip Holiday Girls and a scattering of pearls.

Thank you, Oliver, for this fun, inspiring card!  To see more of Oliver's work, be sure to check him out on Instagram.

 

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 30

Hello, crafty friends! It's Lisa here with you tonight, and I have a quick and simple Interactive Slimline Halloween Card to share with you plus a video tutorial. 

This card is super simple. 

 

Die-cut the Slimline Film Strip and Slimline Hill House Die from Navy cardstock or any color you prefer. Save the bottom inlay frame when die-cutting the Film Strip Die. Die-cut pattern paper. The great thing about this card is you can pick and choose the scene you want from the Haunted Paper Pack to tell your own story. 

Trim a piece of cardstock to cover the back of the film strip die; I find it much easier to build the card and then cover the back to add to my card base. Cut the house out of the Slimline Hill House cut out.

Using Scotch tape secure the pattern paper in the film strip from the backside. 

Decide on the placement of the house on the lower part of the card, trace around the inner window lightly with pencil, and punch a small hole using hole punch or crop-a-dile.

Map out the placement of lights and secure in place with Scotch tape.

Add a small piece of vellum behind the window to be lit up, add mounting foam strips to the back of the house, and secure on the film strip.

Adding mounting foam to the back of the film strip around wiring and cover back with white cardstock. Using glue to the back and center on a white 100# slimline card base.

Stamp sentiments from the Grave Epitaphs and Halloween Postage Stamp Sets using navy ink, add foam adhesive strips to the back and adhere to the card.

As always, thanks for joining us! 

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 24 - Special Guest Rebecca Rapanaro

Tonight we welcome the talented Rebecca Rapanaro back to the Whimsy blog!

 I am so happy to be special guest designer a second time this month at Whimsy Stamps! It's their annual 31 Nights of Halloween Blog Celebration, and there is so much fun to be had!  So for this Project, I guess you noticed, it’s all about Vampires! The decision was difficult, but Vlad won in the end!

I wanted to give this card a Hollywood Classic Horror look. I started by ink blending a background and then cut Whimsy’s Slimline Film Strip Die out of a sparkly card stock and adhered it to the background. Next, I used images from Screams in Vein and Grave Epitaphs. I also used the Build-a-Graveyard Die Set.Build-a-Graveyard Die Set. All was coloured using Copic markers and Prismacolor Pencils. Highlights were added using Gel Pens, and I added sequins from my stash for a little more shine and interest. Something that always strikes me as amazing about Whimsy’s products is just how versatile they are. They can be mixed and matched for different occasions.

Copic Colours

Vampire – 0, YG91, BG10, BG000, T0

Girl – E11, E00, E0000, E34, R46, E37, E39, E49, YG05, YG25, T2, R27, R17

Grave – BG10, C4, BV31, N2, C5

Skull – E31, G82, C5

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little more spooky inspiration!

Wishing you always a lovely day and time to create something awesome!
