Feline Batty Card by Amy Tsuruta

Feline Batty!

Today we are getting in the mood for Halloween with this card by Amy! She combined several of our newest Halloween products to create this adorable card!

The sweet kitty in the bat costume from our Batty Newton Stamp Set takes center stage. She colored the image in neutral tones with fun purple bat wings! This image was cut out using the coordinating Batty Newton Die Set to layer onto her card. Behind the batty kitty, she used the big circle of Halloween creatures from our Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set. She colored this image using a palette of soft Halloween colors and a minty green background! So lovely! The image and the scalloped circle frame were cut out using the  Circle Frames Die Set. 

For a final, spooky finishing touch, she added a soft spiderweb to the background using our Spiderweb Stencil and the sentiment "feline batty" onto the ticket shape from our Framework Die Set. All these elements combine perfectly for a fun and spooky Halloween creation!

Halloween Shaker Card by Amanda Wilcox

Shaking Up a Happy Halloween!

Today Amanda is shaking things up with an adorable Halloween themed shaker card! This fun card uses a bunch of of our favorite fall and Halloween themed products together!

The main star of this card is that cute pug puppy from the new Pug-kin Stamp Set. He's so adorable popping his head out of the pumpkin! She colored this image and cut it out using the coordinating Pug-kin Die Set. She also colored a bunch of pumpkins and leaves from the Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set to surround the cute little pup! These were cut out using the coordinating Paw-tumn Newton Die Set. The added white gel pen accents really add a fun detail! She also used our Land Borders Die Set to create a hill as a setting for the Pug and pumpkins!  

For the shaker window she used our Framework Die Set to create the yellow postage edged panel. Then she used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out the inner window to make it into a frame. Behind the frame, a panel of stenciled leaves created with our Falling Leaves Stencil makes the perfect background! She filled the shaker window with fall colored seed beads, that make a fun rustling sound when you shake it. The finishing touch is the "Happy Halloween" sentiment, stamped from our new Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set onto a banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. All these elements combine perfectly for a lovely Halloween card! 

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing this amazing shaker card with us today! To say hello to her and see more of her awesome creations you can visit Amanda over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!
