Sneak Peek: Spooky Fun & Halloween Scenes

Tomorrow the 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog will go live! Here is a sneak peek Halloween card using some of the products in the 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog.

The Spooky Fun stamp set features images perfect for your Halloween themed cards, including witches, pumpkins, and grave stones. Pair Spooky Fun with the Halloween Scenes Thinlits to create more depth and autumnal panoramas. The fence thinlit is my favorite!

The background is created with sponges, masking, and reverse masking. I cut a 1-3/4" circle from a sticky note. I placed the negative space over where I wanted the moon and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. Once the moon was filled in, I placed the positive circle sticky note on top of the moon. I sponged the sky with Smoky Slate, Basic Archival Gray, Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant, respectively, from bottom to top.

How adorable and spooky is this spider and web?! Who wouldn't want to receive this fun Halloween card?

Thoughtful Branches Thanksgiving

The ingenuity of the Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set and Thinlit Bundle is truly astounding! Here is a sweet, seasonal Thanksgiving card.

Here I used the flower head/tree top die to create a pumpkin! I die cut two flower head/tree tops. I glued one right side up and the other upside down to create more fullness to the pumpkin. It looks fantastic with just one though!

The tree trunk turned upside becomes a stem! How clever!

Background stamp Hardwood is stamped directly on the 8-1/2" by 5-1/2" card base with Early Espresso ink. This is my favorite background stamp. It is also perfect for fall accents!

The Early Espresso layer measures 3-7/8" by 5-1/8". The Very Vanilla layer measures 3-3/4" by 5".

The inside has the sentiment from the upcoming Basket of Wishes stamp set. You are going to love this stamp set! It is perfect for fall holidays and occasions! Basket of Wishes is also a photopolymer two-step stamp set. You can mix and match baskets with all kinds of embellishments, including flowers and pumpkins!

There are a few days left to purchase the Thoughtful Branches Bundle! This is an incredibly versatile stamp set and thinlit set. You can make hedgehogs, coral reefs, forests, hydrangeas, leaves, pumpkins, wreathes, backgrounds, Christmas trees, sympathy cards, thank you cards, birthday cards, Fall cards, and so much more. Woo! I'm exhausted just saying all that!

Thoughtful Branches Birthday

This birthday card is for a much loved friend! I wanted to send her a cheerful, floral card. I think this Thoughtful Branches hydrangea card does the trick!

To create the fullness of the hydrangea flowers, I stamped and die cut two flower heads. I glued one to the card right side up and the second one upside down.

The inside has a sweet sentiment in Soft Suede and two flowers in Pool Party.

I would love to see what you make using the Thoughtful Branches Bundle!
