BOO! Hello friends! I am SOOOOO excited today to share some Halloween cards! I am beyond ready for Fall crafting, and Fall in general! Yippeeeee! Today is the first day of a big blog hop celebrating the new August release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh. You guys know that I absolutely LOVE the Halloween release from PPP every year...and this year is no different. I had the best time making cards with the new release, and I was smiling the entire time! I hope my cards today get you in the mood to switch seasons! I have three cards today, and then I'll share a fourth card next week when we do the Instagram Hop. The new release is already available for shopping!!

My first two cards feature the brand new (and super adorable) Ghost Shaker dies, other brand new supplies, and one of my favorite stencils from last year - the Spooky Sky!! I ended up making two ghost cards because I had made two cloudy backgrounds. I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I used them both! Yay! This first card is an A2 white card base, layered with brilliant teal and a cutie pie witchy poo ghostie!! Hee hee. She's a good witch, so don't worry.
For the boo sentiment, I used the new Large Boo Shadow Dies.... The hat, broom and moon are frm the new Halloween Mug Additions Dies set. ADORABLE!!! I die cut the ghost shape and colored on her with some Copic Markers and added some cheeky cheeks...
I die cut my pieces from colored cardstock and added Copic Marker accents and white gel pen accents. The "you're spooktacular" sentiment is from the new Sentiment Strips Halloween stamps and matching dies....

I stenciled onto teal cardstock with the Spooky Sky Stencils set. The set has clouds, stars and bats and it's awesome. I used white pigment ink for the clouds and Oxide ink for the stars....
My second card is also an A2 card base - in gray cardstock. I layered the stenciled panel (also the same gray cardstock). This time I made my ghostie out of vellum so he's sparkly and see through!! I splattered him, and the background, with silver paint.

This little ghostie is holding his jack-o-lantern he just made! The pink cheeks are Copic Markers - they work great on vellum!
I die cut the happy halloween words from black cardstock!
For this background, I used gray cardstock and inked on Salvaged Patina Oxide Ink around the edges...It made a cool blue/gray kind of color! I used the same white and yellow ink for the stars and clouds....
My craft room is haunted by cute ghosts now!! Hee hee!! I'm okay with it!

Here are the stencils and both of my finished backgrounds... I love them both, even though they are so different. Remember to play around with your colors!
My third card goes in a totally different direction - AUTUMN!! I used the brand new Stitched Pumpkins Dies (these are going to get used A LOT!) and the brand new Argyle Stencils to create a warm fall card... The finished card is an A2 cream cardstock, layered with my stenciled panel, and then those pumpkins!! I used a warm palette of amber, brown and deep orange...
Here's a side view of my card. As usual, I did some paint splatters (in gold) and ink shading on my die cut pieces. I used a deep orange cardstock and ink blended with distress inks and blender brushes just to the tops of the pumpkins and the bottom of the leaves.

I used Amber and Vintage Photo Distress Inks on cream cardstock for my stenciling.... I love this deep warm golden yellow....
The sentiment is from last years gorgeous Falling Leaves stamps and stencils...Love...
The pumpkins die set has three sizes of pumpkins, leaves, and little curlies... Also it has jack-o-lantern faces. I think this is perfection! You can make harvest pumpkins or halloween pumpkins. Paulina thought of everything!! Literally the perfect pumpkin set.

Ok. You may have just been awarded my favorite designer of the entire hop. I love those ghost cards. I think the backgrounds are what draws me to these cards. They are fabulous. That ghost with the witches hat and and broom, however, cinched it for me. She is just too cute. Thanks for sharing these.

Dear Wanda - I wish you were my crafty neighbor. You always have THE BEST cards. Love all of these. You showed the ghost in a spooky way and then in a cute way. I'd be OK with a haunted craft room if I had those adorable ghosts popping up, too!! I ADORE the last card as well... the argyle in the background has the PERFECT colors to set off those gorgeous pumpkins. You get an 11/10 and / or an A++ for these!
