Hello friends. It’s time for another cute Halloween card featuring Lawn Fawn dies and stamps. This one features the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop and Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stamps dies. It’s really easy to create fun or spooky dimensional cards with these dies. I’m truly loving this backdrop dieset! Stay tuned for some Christmas/Winter cards using this dieset coming up soon.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ for the background. I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks to color the background panel.

Next I die cut the forest from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop 2x, the grass from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and inked it with Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Ink.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stamps onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used YG25 & YG67 for the pumpkins; C1 & C3, and YG25 & YG67 for the stones; C1 & 0 and R20 for the ghosts; Y15 & Y17 for the house windows; V04, V25, & BV08, YG25 & YG67, C1, C3, C5 & C9, YR04 & YR06 for the houses; W3, W5, & W7 for the trees; and E21, V04 & V25, YG25 & YG67, C5 & C9, YR04 & YR09 for the trick or treaters.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink . I trimmed it down to 1/2 x 4″.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also added some more images from the Spooky Village.

Hello friends. It’s been a few weeks since I posted a Halloween card so it’s time for some new ones. Here is one using only Lawn Fawn dies and stencils. It features the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop and Spooky Gate dies. It’s really easy to create fun or spooky dimensional cards with these dies.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

Mossy Meadow Cardstock (retired) with the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides and inked it with Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow Ink (retired), and the gate from Simon Says Stamp Slate 100lb Gray Cardstock with the Spooky Gate and inked it with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink to add some dimension. I die cut tombstones, ghosts, stones, and owl from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored with Copic Markers. I used R20, C00, 0, & 110 for the ghosts; C3, C5, C9 & 110 for the owl; N1 & N4 for the tombstones; and W3 & W5 for the stones.

I finished off the card by adding some sparkle to the ghosts and the owl with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

Halloween Card Combining Older and Newer Lawn Fawn Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Time to work on Halloween cards! It’s never too soon to start making Halloween Cards in my opinion. For this card I decided to use an older Lawn Fawn mason jar stampset (Summertime Charm) with the How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on stampset.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies.and embossed it with Stampin’ Up!’s Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (retired). Then added some Catherine Pooler Grape Crush Ink as well as Tim Holtz Distress BLACK SOOT Ink to accentuate the raised areas. I also created the moon using Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and masking paper.

I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies. Then die cut that piece with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border. I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides Ink to add some dimension.

I die cut the fence from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using Lawn Fawn’s Spooky Fence Border.

I stamped all the images onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The mason jar is from Lawn Fawn’s Summertime Charm, the candy corn is from Lawn Fawn’s How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on, the pumpkins and squirrels from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch, and the ghosts and bats from Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting Stampsets.

I colored all the images with Copic Marker. I used C00, R20 and the blender for the ghosts; Y11, Y13, Y15, YR04, YR07, YR09, C00 & the blender for the candy corn;YG17, YG25, YG67, YR04, YR07, YR09, & YR27 for the pumpkins; BG000, B0000 & 0 for the mason jar; R20, C00, C3 & C5 for the squirrels; YR31, YR14 & Y11 for the pumpkin guts; and BV0000, BV11 & BV04 for the pumpkin scoop.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Catherine Pooler Orange Peel Ink and cut it to 5/8 x 3-1/8″.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest to 4 x 5-1/4″ and added an extra ghost, pumpkin and bats.

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Here’s another adorable scene card using the Pumpkin House Die from Lawn Fawn. It’s such a fun die set. There are so many occasions for which it can be used, Maybe a winter pumpkin?? Christmas??

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock measuring 4 x 5-1/4″. I used Distress Oxide Inks to create the background on this panel.

I masked off the moon by punching out a 1-1/4″ circle from post it paper. I used Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves, Villainous Potion, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Then removed the mask and added Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink around the moon which blended with the sky colors and created a cool spooky effect. This was totally unplanned but worked out in my favor. I also sprayed water on the panel to further distress it.

I die cut all the necessary images from the Lawn Fawn Pumpkin House Die from various cardstocks and colored them with ink to add dimension. I used Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie 8-1/2 x 11″ 80lb Cardstock for the pumpkin house, cut two so I can pop up the center portion, added a spiderweb pattern using Tim Holtz Cling Mount Stamps: Trick or Treat, Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder.

Emboss Resist Technique: Making a Spooky Background

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Using the emboss resist technique to create a background is super easy and creates a very high contrast, impactful visual. Let me show you how easy this was to create.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest measuring 4 x 5-1/4″ and embossed it with Tim Holtz Cling Mount Stamps: Halloween Silhouettes. I used Versamark Ink to stamp the background, added WOW Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder and heat set with my heat gun. Then colored it with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. Remember to wipe off any excess ink with apaper towel or cloth to clean off the white embossed areas.

I stamped the truck and pumpkins from Honey Bee Stamps Big Pickup Tailgate 6×6 Stamp Set and Honey Bee Loads of Fall Stamp Set onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic markers.

I used YR16, YR18, & YR09, N2, N6 & N8 for the pumpkins; G94 & G99 for the leaves; BV11, BV08, V25 & V28 for the truck bed; Y13 & Y17 for the truck head lights; C1, C3, C5, C7, & C9 for the metal on the truck; YG05, YG17 & YG67 for the license plate; and BG000 & 0 for the truck windows.

I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey ink Pumpkin Expressions Stamp Set (retired) onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I fussycut the sentiments since I don’t have dies for this stampset.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Queen and Company Halloween Hoopla! Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added additional pumpkin and leaf vine.

Creating a Dimensional Halloween Card featuring Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. A quick way to create a dimensional background with little effort is to use an embossing folder. We all have a bunch of embossing folders we bought when it was all the rage to emboss everything and now they sit in a drawer or craft room shelf collecting dust. Am I right?!? Come on, you know it’s true??? LOL Well thankfully they are coming back in fashion and there are so many techniques you can do with them. Today we are keeping it simple — just some ink and a blender. No fancy tools needed either.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then cut a piece measuring 4 x 5-1/4″ and embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (retired); any spiderweb embossing folder will work here.

I used mostly Seedless Preserves and Villainous Poison Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. Then lightly went over the raised cobwebs with some Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water on the background to distress it further.

I stamped the all the images from the Honey Bee Stamps Pumpkin Patch Stampset onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Midnight Ink and heat set with Clear Embossing Powder. Then colored the pumpkin with Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks. I colored the leaves with Twisted Citron, Rustic Wilderness, and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink for the flowers.

I stamped the ghost and bat images from Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stampset and colored them with Copic Markers. I used C00, 0 and R20 for the ghosts. And then diecut them with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Boo 3×4 Stamp Set onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Midnight Ink and die cut the ‘boo’ from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock 3x with the Honey Bee Boo Dies. I finished it off by adding some glitter with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Queen and Company Halloween Hoopla Kit with with Midnight Ink and added an extra ghost.

Boo Shaker Card featuring Honey Bee Stamps Buzzword Dies

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I’ve got another cute Halloween card to share with you all. This is a very simple shaker card using the Honey Bee Stamps Boo Buzzword dies and the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad. Very little stamping and absolutely no coloring involved. I love making these kinds of cards!

I started by cutting a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to make the card base. I also cut a piece of the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad to 4 x 5-1/4″. I diecut a window from it with the Catherine Pooler Designs Scallops & Dots Dies, added a piece of acetate with double-side tape and added some 3M Foam Tape to make the shaker element. I added sequins from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest Sequin Mix and backed it with another piece of pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad.

I diecut the sentiment with the Honey Bee Stamps BOO Dies from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad and Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (for the shadow). I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps BOO Stamp Set onto some more black card stock with Versamark Ink and and heat embossed with WOW Embossing Powder in Super Fine Opaque Bright White.

I diecut ghosts, bats and pumpkins from the Honey Bee Stamps Haunted House Add-On (this die works with the House Builder Card Base Dieset) from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock, and orange cardstock from my scrap stash.

I finished it off by adding some Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest Sequin Mix.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4” and a piece of pattern paper from Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad to 1 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Queen and Co Halloween Hoopla Kit with Catherine Pooler Designs Orange Twist Ink.

Easy Stenciled Halloween Background featuring Pretty Pink Posh and Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Background stencils are a great option to make quick backgrounds! This cute Pretty Pink Posh CANDY BACKGROUND Stencil is a fun one to use for Halloween. This card came together very quickly with minimal stamping and coloring. I combined this background stencil and a couple of background and sentiment dies to create this quick and simple card.

I started by cutting a piece of Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to make the card base and a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cards cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ which I stenciled with the Pretty Pink Posh CANDY BACKGROUND Stencil and Tim Holtz Carved Pumpkin, Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. Then diecut it with Catherine Pooler Designs Scallops & Dots Dies and adhered it to the card base.

I diecut a sentiment one from Stampin’ Up! Black 12″ X 12″ Glitter Paper and two fromC1 + 0 Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Halloween Die Cut. Using three layers of the sentiment is a great way to add dimension to an image that is not easy to add foam tape.

I stamped the images from the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Wreath Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used R20, C1 + 0 blender for the ghost; C1 + 0 blender, Y02 + Y13, YR04 + YR07 for the candy corn; C7 + C9 for the bat and spider; V06 + V09, YG17 + YG25 for the witch hat; YR04 + YR07 and YG17 + YG25, YG17 + YG25 and V06 + V09 for the candy; C1 + C7, YR04 + YR07 for the lollipop. I added white highlights with my Uni-Ball UM 153 Signo Broad Point Gel Pen and die cut with the coordinating dies.

I added some Glossy Accents to the candy and some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen. I also added some Ebony Black Nuvo Drops.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment and the witch hat from the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Wreath Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the hat with copics.

You can also make a wreath from the singular images instead of using the wreath image.

I started by cutting a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to make the card base and a second piece cut to 4 x 5-1/4″ which I embossed with an embossing folders from the Queen & Co’s Embossing Folder Bundle. I added a strip of pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad measuring 3/4 x 5-1/4″ and another measuring 1-1/4 x 5-1/4″.

I stamped the wreath and all the images as well as a sentiment in the center from the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Wreath Stampset with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with WOW Embossing Powder in Super Fine Opaque Bright White. I colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and diecut the images with the coordinating dies. Tip: Make sure to use a good amount of anti-static powder when using embossing powder on dark cardstock or it will stick where you don’t want. I used 3M Foam Tape to pop up the wreath.

I finished it off by adding some sequins from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest Sequin Mix.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and the same purple paper I used on the front of the card from Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6×6 Paper Pad to 1 x 5-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Wreath Stampset with Catherine Pooler Designs Mandarin Spice Ink. I also added some extra images I had stamped.
