I am excited to be part of a big multi day blog hop to celebrate the awesome Halloween new release - stamps, dies, stencils, and more! All with a fun/cute/spooky vibe. It's adorable, and bright and cheerful and happy with just a bit of spooky!! Great news -the new release is available for shopping now! Enjoy the hop, and I'm excited to share some cards with you today! I made LOTS of projects and I'll be sharing the rest of them next week. Can't start early enough on the fall crafts!

My first card today features the awesome new Candy Bucket Dies and the new Stitched Ghosts Dies! Gosh, these dies are SO great! It's a set of buckets that look like the old Happy Meal buckets of days gone by. Such fun memories! I used bright lime green to make a Frankenstein bucket and it came out so cool! I added some cute ghosties coming out of the top and a fun sentiment too! I tried something different and used PINK for my background ink blending! I kinda like it because it's different.... And pink and green is always a winning color combo. I used graphic gingham, white gel pen accents and a few gems to finish it off. The finished card is an A2 white card base. All the supplies are HERE or at the bottom of my post!!
A side view to show the layers and assembly...
The sentiment is perfection!!!
My craft room is haunted! (They're cute though!!) Hee hee.
I ink blended just the top of my white panel and faded to white at the bottom....
My second card is a POP UP card, again featuring those SUPER cute ghosties!! This was the first idea that popped into my head when I saw the ghost dies! A gang of ghosties! I just adore their facial expressions. They are having a GOOD time for sure! I assembled my pop up card base using white cardstock and used orange plaid for the accent papers. I used the new Batty about You set for the sentiment and a bright orange Stitched Pumpkin for the front. Oh, and I couldn't resist a few bats too! This card folds down flat and I would use an A4 envelope to make sure it fits in - since I extended over the top of the back panel. It's hard to see, but the ghosties have glitter accents on them, and cute pink cheeks done with Copics. All the supplies for this card are HERE or at the bottom of my post!
A side view of my layers and assembly...
And a top down view so you can see how I placed them inside the pop up base.
I shaded the pumpkin with a bit of orange ink and a blender brush. White pen accents on everything too!
Here is the card folded down flat for mailing!
My third card for today! I couldn't stop making things! This card features the brand new Bat Shaker Dies and the Batty About You Stamp set!! I chose purple and black for a moody color palette. My finished card is an A2 card base layered with purple plaid! The background of the bat shaker is grey gingham and I filled it with the new Halloween Magic Beads. I stenciled the background using purple and yellow inks... And stamped some extra bats behind the big shaker bat. Can a bat be cute? I think he is! LOL. All the supplies for this card are HERE or at the bottom of my post.
Here's a top down view of the shaker bat!!
The perfect sentiment!!
