Merry Monday ~ Halloween Edition

Happy Halloween stampers!

It's another Merry Monday...the Halloween edition!  I cased one of this months Crafty Carrot Collective Spruced Up tutorial's, turning Jennifer's Christmas card into a Halloween card.

I love the Black & White DSP pack!  All of these patterns were perfect for some Halloween ornaments.  I die cut the ornaments from two different patterns, outlining them with Basic Black.  Adhesive Sheets are you best friend with these dies!  Be sure to add that to your order if you order this adorable bundle!

A little Fresh Freesia was blended in the background, along with a few snowflakes helped to create a not-so-spooky background.  My favorite part of this card are the lights!  I die cut them from a piece of Basic White and colored them with Stampin' Blends. Aren't they the cutest?!? 

I snuck in a little Bewitching spider and a Parakeet Party sentiment from September's Paper Pumpkin Kit.   That little spider just makes me happy!

I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!  Mummy dogs and a little trick-or-treating are on our agenda this evening.

Happy Stamping!

Trick or Treat and Spooky Spells

Welcome to the October edition of Control Freaks!  This month we are celebrating the upcoming holidays.  There are so many holidays packed into the last few months of the year, so the creative possibilities are endless!  Hop along and see all of the fun holiday creations!

Did you just arrive from Cindy Elam of Hearts Delight Cards or are you just starting?   Either way, just keep hopping until you make the full loop!

I switched back to some Halloween cards for todays hop.  I paired up Best Witches with the stamps from the September Paper Pumpkin Spooky Treats for some spooktactular creations!

I decided on a colorful witch for the first card, giving her a Parakeet Party dress and Rich Razzleberry cape and hat. I think the only spell she could put on someone is a spell of sweetness!

This next little witch is a bit more traditional with her black hat and cape.  I love her "golden" Daffodil Delight dress...she's a happy, sunshiny witch!

As you can see, I used the same layout and patterns of Celebrate Everything DSP for both cards.  I made a few sets of each card for a special order, so this was a quick way to get them all done!

Next up is my friend Wendy Weixler of Wickedly Wonderful Creations.  You don't want to miss her Happy Holidays creation!

Happy Stamping!

Bewitching Treats

When I made my  If You've Got It, Haunt It card earlier this week, I stamped a few sets of the witches hats and boots to use at a later time.  It turns out it wasn't too much later before I had the itch to create another Bewitching project.

I've had the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies for a while, just waiting to be used.  These little envelopes are great for gifting gift cards, but it also happened to be the perfect size for a treat size Halloween bag of M&M's.   

I started out with just the witches hat and boots, but something felt like it was missing.  After going through my stash, I discovered some "spiderwebs" in the Wonderful Snowflakes! Perfect for the cute little spider to hang out in! The Happy Halloween sentiment comes from the September Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit.

See below for the quick and easy way to turn your Wonderful Snowflakes into spooky spiderwebs!

To create the spiderweb, I snipped off the ends of the snowflakes and colored the backside (non-shiny side)with the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend.  How fun is this?!?!

Happy Stamping!
