A flat slim line Halloween shaker

 I'm here with a flat slim line shaker card.

Stamps used: 
I started out with some watercolor paper and distress oxide spays and some distress spays in Halloween colors. I then cut it with a die cut to make it into a slim lime card front. Next I stampedPieces of calligraphy  randomly on the background I also did that with the   Fly from the bugz set and the Flying birds but with this one I cut one of the birds from the background stamp so I could use only one. 
Then I stamped and cut out Gnome witch with no stars and colored her with copic markers. 
To make the flat slim line shaker I took a shaker pocket and covered the front and taped up 3 of the sides of it. Then I added my shaker Halloween mix and some rat confetti that I had. 
Use some red liner tape to tape  Gnome witch with no stars to the front of the shaker pocket after you sealed the last of the pocket and then you then add it to the front of the slim line card base. 
I used red liner tape for that also.

Come join the Halloween fun here.

Stamps Used:


I started out by making a background with some different color oranges of distress. I also used the new mica spray of distress. Next I stamped the Pumpkin and I then heat embossed it. Cut it out and set it aside. 
The background of my black card base is done with a stencil and some white ink. 



I die cut some ghosts from white cardstock and inked them up with a distress ink and then I stamped Pieces of calligraphy  ink that same ink on the ghosts. 
Next I arranged the ghosts and  Pumpkin on the front of the card and glued them on. 
Last I added a Happy Halloween in green and purple paper from a die cut. Layered it 3 times.

Have a groovy Halloween take 2

 Here is my take 2 of the groovy Halloween card. Actually I did this one first. 

                                                             Stamps Used:

                                                            small skeleton 

                                                    pieces of calligraphy 

                                                           bugz set

For these one I did the same as yesterday with the     small skeleton . I used water based markers and colored directly onto the stamp. Cut out and layered on black cardstock. I also did the same for the saying as I did yesterday. Printed it off my computer cut out and layered on black cardstock.

The background is where I changed it up. For this card I stamped        pieces of calligraphy  randomly on the card base in black ink. Then I took the fly from the   bugz set and I filled in the empty spots. 
Lastly I used the same bat die and cut out some black bats added them to the front. 
Let me know what one you like better? if you want. 


Come join the 31 days of Halloween fun here.

Have a groovy Halloween

 So today starts the 31 days of Halloween challenge over at Lost Coast blog. I start off with Day 1. My first card was inspired by a coworker. She likes tye-dye and when you ask 'how are you doing?' Her response is 'groovy'.  It is also not your typical Halloween card. 

                                                                    Stamps Used:

                                                                Spiderweb background

                                                                 Small skeleton 

                                                 


So for the background I took the   Spiderweb background and laid it face up and inked it up with rainbow colors from distress inks. Then I put my white cardstock on it and rubbed my fingers over the back. Trim off the non stamped edges and layered it on black. 

I took my    Small skeleton  and colored it with some water based markers. Stamped that on white cardstock and layered that also with black. 

I made the saying from the computer and cut out and guess what? I layered that on black. 

Lastly I took some glittery tye-dye paper and cut bats out of it. 

I made another version of this card and I will share it tomorrow with you.
