Carved, Stamped, Colored, and Stickered for Halloween

The witch is stamped on a pale blue card and colored with colored pencils. I masked her and using a cloud template I sponged on the clouds using purple ink.

The pumpkins and ghost stamp along the bottom were erasers that I carved myself. I stamped them on sticker paper and colored them with markers and attached them along the bottom of the card.

Corrogated Ghosts on Layered Card

I layered black cardstock cut with a deckle edge onto a yellow card. The "Happy Haunting" is stamped on and embossed with silver embossing powder.

The three ghosts are stamped, colored, cut out and run through a paper corrugator -- a crimping tool that creates the 3D corrugated paper look. I glued the corrugated ghosts around the words.

Stamped, Colored, and Layered for Halloween

I layered orange cardstock on top of a black card then layered black cardstock that had been cut with decorative corner edgers.

The jack-o-lantern, cat, boo, and spider were stamped colored and cut out. I glued them to the card and used silver gel pen to add a string to the spider and a few lines around the jack-o-lantern's lid.

Halloween Dragon with 3D Effect

I stamped the dragon and colored with color pencils. The balloons are punched out of black and orange cardstock. The faces on the orange balloons were stamped with black ink. I rounded the balloons in the palm of my hand before attaching them with silicon glue, this gives them dimension - a simple 3D effect. The strings are hand-drawn.

Scarecrow Card with Cut Out

This card uses a custom-cut window.

I stamped the scarecrow on parchment cardstock and colored it with colored pencils. On the folded harvest gold cardstock I traced an oval on the front (to be cut later). I stamped leaves in brown ink along the lower edge. I cut out the top half of the oval and around the leaves with an exacto knife. This made a window that the scarecrow fits in.
