Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share a spooktacular Halloween birthday card!! I'm using several die sets to create a personalized birthday cake and I LOVE how it turned out!! I hope this will INSPIRE you to create some personalized birthday cakes for your next project!! 

This card features:

Halloween Accessories Die Set
Frames & Flags Die Set

Birthday Greetings Stamp Set

I started by die cutting the Frames & Tags Die Set from some Black Glitter Cardstock and then I created the card panel by die cutting some white cardstock using the Basic Frames Die Set!! I Inked the Background using some Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks!! Then I stamped and embossed the "Make a Wish" sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set using VersaFine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters!! 

Next, I die cut the pieces for my Halloween cake using the Cake Builder Die Set. Then I die cut the bats from the Halloween Accessories Die Set from some white cardstock and Inked with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. I layered them onto the cake layers and I LOVE the way they line up with the design!! 

I wanted to create a FUN light-up element so I die cut the Jack-O-Lantern also from the Halloween Accessories Die Set and backed it with some gold vellum!! I Then used my punch to create a hole in the card and then I adhered the Pear Blossom Press One Light to the back of the card panel!! 

I added some foam tape to the back of the panel!! Then I adhered the panel to the frame and adhered it to the cardbase!! I adhered the cake to the card panel using some more foam tape for some dimension and I LOVE how it turned out!! 

I finished off the design by adhering some of the star confetti in both holographic and black and it adds the perfect touch of sparkle and shine!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Tricks for Treats Card by Rosie Lopez

Halloween Hound Card!
Today we are sharing this adorable and ghostly halloween themed card by Rosie!

These cards feature:

Trick or Treat Puppy Stamp Set
Trick or Treat Puppy Die Set

Spooky Halloween Toner Card Fronts

Haunted House Die Set

Spooky Sky Die Set

Flames & Flags Die Set

Framework Die Set

Hi everyone! It’s Rosie and I am sharing a few Halloween Cards highlighting the Trick or Treat Puppy Stamp Set. I always color the puppies a tan color to resemble my dog, Salem. He is always up for doing tricks for treats! I stamped, colored and die cut all the puppies twice. This left with lots of little puppy dogs to create with. Then I pulled out my Minc machine and used holographic foil with the spider web print from the Spooky Halloween Toner Card Fronts. I also used the negative foil on a solid black toner card front. I really loved the foil backgrounds and didn't want to cover much of it up so I pulled out the Framework Die Set and Flames & Flags Die Set. I cut one of the inside scallop dies from black cardstock and matted that on heavy-weight vellum. Then I die cut another vellum piece from a stitched rounded rectangle die. These two die sets are by far, my most used die sets. 

I white heat embossed the two sentiments on black cardstock and then also stamped on white cardstock. I wasn't sure of my design so I just stamped both. Then I layered everything together and used the same die set to die cut the sentiments. Since I used vellum, I used a tape runner and foam tape to adhere everything together. 

Bonus Card: 

It wouldn't be a Rosie post without a bonus card! For this card I ink blended a background panel using a few pink/purple/blue Reactive Inks. I splattered with a shimmer spray and white acrylic to look like a night sky. I die cut the Spooky Sky Die Set and ink blended for dimension. I also die cut the Haunted House Die Set and added vellum behind the windows and popped it up with thin foam tape. I fussy cut the clack cardstock hill for the house to sit on. I white heat embossed the sentiment directly on the ink blended panel. Everything was layered together and I finished the card with two cute Trick or Treat puppies. 

 

Thank you for visiting the blog today! I hope this inspires you to start your Halloween cards!
