Spooky Cards Galore

Halloween is the biggest holiday in our house... yes, even bigger than Christmas!  Hubby is a Halloween fanatic (hence the reason we got married on the 29th... as close to the actual day as we could get!).  We love the scary movies, the costumes, the parties, and of course.. the candy!

I've been picking up Halloween stuff left and right over the past few weeks, and couldn't wait to start playing!

Halloween Card #1:

I used some Halloween paper I got from a stack at Hobby Lobby called "Spooksville."  I LOVE the purple :-)  The card was all done in CCR where I welded a window into the card base, and then welded a spiderweb from the new CTMH Artiste cartridge into the window.  I cut a little spider also from the Artiste cartridge and attached him with a Pop Dot to the spiderweb.  He got attacked with some green Stickles to give him some bling :-)  The sentiment came from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Occasions set, and I cut the sentiment tag from the Art Philosophy cartridge.  I used some green and black ribbon from my stash to tie in the color of the spider.  I embossed a plain piece of purple cardstock with a spiderweb folder (I think it was Darice brand) and adhered it to the back of the front of the card (does that even make sense?!?!?  lol). 

 For the inside I used a piece of bright green cardstock and cut the top and bottom of it with the Martha Stewart cobweb border punch.  I layered on a piece of plain cream cardstock and distressed the edges a bit.  Can't wait to send this one out :-)

Halloween Card #2:

This is another A2 sized card where I just used plain black cardstock for the base.  I cut the frame and the witch's shoe from the Cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I blinged up the spiders on the frame and the embossed (D'Vine Swirls) part on the shoe with some purple Stickles.  The "Halloween" sentiment I believe came from the Artiste bundle as well.  I layered that on top of some green paper from the same Hobby Lobby Spooksville paper and added some black brads from my stash.  

Halloween Card #3:

This card was done almost entirely from the Artiste cartridge!  I used one of the card bases (I forgot to write it down which one... oops!) from the Artiste cartridge, and then layered on cuts from the Elegant Edges cartridge.  I embossed the purple layer with that same spiderweb embossing folder, and the pattered paper also came from the Spooksville paper stack.  I cut the ghost and the "Boo!" sentiment from the Artiste cartridge and added some purple & white twine before pop dotting it to the back layer.  Again, I blinged up the sentiment with some orange Stickles (can you see a theme here??  Lol).  I was so excited about this card!!!  I LOVE IT!

Halloween Card #4:

This card is definitely in the running for my favorite card so far.  The digi stamp came from Bugaboo Stamps, and I colored her in with the colored pencil/Gamsol technique.  The pattered paper is actually from a digi paper stack that I got from Shery K Designs.  I'm really liking the digi papers so far.... I've got a ton of them and they take up no room!! :-)  I used a Sizzix embossing folders (I think it's calld Stars & Swirls), and added some festive orange and black ribbon.  The sentiment on this one says "If the broom fits..."  and then on the inside it says "Ride It."  I think I'm going to be sending this one to my mother-in-law... Lol!

I've been a card making machine lately, but I also have a couple of other non-card projects in the works.  Hopefully I'll get some quality time in the "Craft Cave" to get some work done on them!! 

Until next time my crafty family.....
