Espresso Your Spooky Side Card by Amanda Wilcox

Espresso Your Summer-Ween Self Card

Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today I'm diving father into my Halloween stash and giving a fun idea for a stenciled background! Let's dive in!

This card features:
Ghosts Stencil

Spooky Coffees Stamp Set
Spooky Coffees Die Set

Full transparency, I did this in a different order but sometimes hindsight is 20/20 so I'm sharing a more time effective or to create this card, but whatever works for your brain is going to be perfect!
I recommend a sticky mat for stenciling but if you don't have one, tape your black cardstock panel to your stencil so it doesn't shift while spreading paste. Then choose your different solar pastes. I used a palette knife to add blobs of the different colors all over the panel with the Ghosts Stencil. Then I used a long paste spreader to level it all out and (sort of) mix the colors giving you the variegated effect.

 

Then I stamped, colored and die cut all of my images from the Newton's Nook Spooky Coffees Stamp Set. Instead of my normal vellum steam, I went with fun spooky colors for a change of pace.

Next, I trimmed a piece of black cardstock to about 1" wide and heat embossed my sentiment on it. To break up the background from the sentiment strip, I added a 1/4" piece of brown cardstock to the edge.

Working my way from the bottom up, I added foam tape to everything and adhered the sentiment strip, then the brown strip, then the mugs on that. I glued the panel to a top folding card base and then tied string around the top for some added interest.

For finishing touches on this design, I used my glitter brush pen on all the steam for some sparkle. Then I added bits of glossy accents to each mug so they shine too!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Freshly BOO'D Card by Diane Morales

Time to BOO Some Coffee!

Wake up today with some freshly BOO'd coffee! This clever card by Diane combines spooky images from our Spooky Coffee Stamp Set and Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set. 

Diane stamped the mummy wrapped mug from our Spooky Coffees Stamp Set and the duo of ghosts from our Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She colored both of the images with alcohol markers and then trimmed them out using the coordinating Spooky Coffees Die Set and Halloween Postage Sampler Die Set. She also stamped and cut the wisps of steam from the Spooky Coffees Die Set. Then she arranged the two images together so that it appears that the ghosts are floating up and out of the coffee mug. What a fun idea!

For her card she chose the ghost toner pattern from our Spooky Halloween Toner Card Fronts. She added silver foil to the toner pattern with a minc (you can also use a heat laminator). Then she cut out the panel using the large scalloped oval from our Oval Frames Die Set. The shiny of the foil really works with the ghostly Halloween theme! 

She also cut out a smaller scalloped oval from vellum paper using the same die set. She layered the two ovals together and added her images on the top. 

For the message she used "freshly BOO'D" from the Spooky Coffees Stamp Set. She stamped it onto a gray cardstock banner that was cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set. 

This spooky card is perfect for sending to a coffee lover!

Spooky Coffees Card by Donna Idlet

Sugar & Scream!!!

Today we are serving a little Halloween humor with our coffee on this fun card by Donna! Her card features our NEW Spooky Coffees Stamp Set and Card Layout 5 Die Set along with some of our favorite halloween themed papers!

Donna began by stamping and coloring all the cute little shaped Halloween mugs from our Spooky Coffees Stamp Set. She cut all the images out using the coordinating Spooky Coffees Die Set. She also stamped and embossed the "sugar & scream" sentiment onto a black circle that she had cut out using our Frames Squared Die Set.

Next she created the card background using our Card Layout 5 Die Set. She used the die multiple times to cut out her favorite prints from our Halloween Meows Paper Pad. She also cut out the layout using the purple glitter paper from our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock. Using the glittery piece for the frame, she adhered all the patterned pieces inside the frame and then layered  the black circle with the sentiment into the center. Then she added all of the mugs on top, placing them in a circle around the sentiment! 

What a fun card to send to a coffee lover over Halloween! To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!
