Peek-a-BOO Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Peek-a-boo! 

Have you ever tried to incorporate stencils and stamps into your scrapbook layouts? Today we are sharing a beautiful scrapbook page by Samantha that does just that! 

This page by Samantha features a photo of her adorable kitty peeking out through some blankets and it inspired her to create a peek-a-BOO theme featuring ghosts! What a fun play on words! She started by laying out the page and deciding where everything would go. Then she took the white background piece and added some blue ink smears to match the paper and white ghosts flying across the page using texture paste with our Ghosts Stencil. She also stamped the "boo-yah!" sentiment from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set right above the kitty photo. 

When she added her photo to the page she framed it with several black and white papers from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad along with some tissue for texture. She added the sentiment across the center using chipboard letter stickers and a cute chipboard kitty. She also added some additional words, stickers and embellishments onto her layout using pieces from her scrapbook product stash. 

Too add to the theme she stamped the cute kitty ghost from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set onto a piece of grey polka dotted paper from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad and cut it out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. So cute how it ties in the the sentiment!

We think this page is fab-BOO-lous! How about you?

Glow in the Dark Halloween Card by Larissa Heskett

A Spooky Halloween Greeting! 

Today we are sharing a super fun card by Larissa that uses some fun techniques, including glow-in the dark embossing.

For the fun background she used our Ghosts Stencil along with some white flock to create a fun spooky sky. After the flocking was applied she also added some yellow distress ink over parts of the ghosts to add to the spooky feeling! She framed this panel with a fun postage edged frame that was covered in lime green foil and cut out using our Framework Die Set. 

For the sentiment in the center she used a sentiment from our retiring Creepy Cameos Stamp Set, embossing it with glow in the dark embossing powder! Here is a close up of how it looks in the dark:

She layered the sentient over the ornate frame image from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set, which was embossed with glittery black embossing powder and cut out using the coordinating Creepy Cameos Die Set. Here is a close-up so you can see all the other amazing details!

What a fun way to send a spooky Halloween wish!
