Eat, Drink and Be Scary

I think this has to be a first for me where I see pp and then select a stamp based on it. When I saw this blue and black paper from Pink and Main I began sorting through my stamps to find something to use with it when this KK stamp jumped out at me. I immediately saw her with that two tone hair and knew she would do the trick. 

So after stamping, coloring, fussy cutting and popping her up on the card I had to find a sentiment, and believe it or not, it's a rub on. I can't decide if I miss these or not. I will say it came off clean with no additional words sticking to the card so I was happy about that.  I also saw her with a kitty by her side so I added the stamped cat. 

Have to say I am kind of liking this color for Halloween, not your traditional colors but its pretty cool looking IMO.

Have a Terrorific Halloween

This is another stamp set I wish I had dies to. I inadvertently stamped these guys with the card being vertical instead of horizontal, thus I had to trim my panel pretty close to the images. 

I opted for green on this card and I suppose we all kind of think of monsters of being green thanks to Frankenstein. 

The Halloween die is from Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment from Stampendeous. The alien or monster guys are from Technique Tuesday and pp from Pink and Main

You Are Fang-tastic

Sometimes when you make a mistake it works out in your favor. In this instance I trimmed my pp way too small and I wanted to make sure you saw it cause I just love my new Pink and Main 6x6 HW pad, so I was forced to diecut a smaller rectangle panel for my cute spooky kitty. I have to say I think it was a great mistake. 

The cat is from Simon Says Stamps and the sentiment is from Stampendous. And for some reason I am addicted to purple and black. I did another cute card in those same colors and also my previous Kraftin Kimmie witch card.

Got Candy

I still love my Kraftin Kimmie stamps. These girls are so cute and spunky but aye yi yi I have to fussy cut them, wish there was a die for them to make my life or card making easier.

The pumpkin die cuts are from Impression Obession and my pp was from a pad I picked up from the expo is from Fancy Pants Spellbound.

Just here for the Boos

This is my ugly card, I have decided I went over board on all the black and white. I have a hard time doing clean and simple and this card is a prime example of that.

Originally I had the quote and the ghost, but it felt naked so I added the stars, but it seemed odd so I added the graveyard scene and then I thought I was done until I added bats...then I said enough..LOL so here is my ugly Halloween card. I guess if you can have an ugly Christmas sweater I can have an ugly HW card.

Full Treat Bag

This is my discount card, why you ask well because I first stamped the skeleton from a Cosmo Cricket set of stamps I picked up super cheap, then I combined him with a quote card from a set of pocket cards that I picked up for practically  nothing and then attached a few bat stickers and a trick or treat bag that I bought discounted last year from Michaels, so it's a very inexpensive card you might say.

Witches Go Riding

This card is a combination of Rubbernecker and Papertrey Ink stamps. After selecting my base pp I thought it would be nice to have kind of an orangish tinted moon, I first stamped the moon in orange then layered on yellows so it wouldn't be an obvious shade of orange. Then I just had to apply the bats but alas after stamping my bats I had a smudge of black ink on my card..ugh! trying to fix it made everything worse so damn it I had to cover up the flaw. This led to the extra die cut bats to hopefully hide the hideous flaw. 

It was till lacking some punch so a few sequins help give this a bit of color lift.

Ghoulish Greetings

Another purchase at the expo was these Pink and Main cute little monster stamps which also have coordinating dies. One of the things I hope to get back to doing is sending my grand kids cards in the mail again. My oldest granddaughter is now 3 so she is about the right age to start sending her cards as well. 

With my new purchase in had I stamped, colored with copics and diecut the images. Then popped them up on my panel which sits on my mat that was die cut from my Lawn Fawn stitched dies. Then adhered that to my pp panel and base card.
