Trick or Treat Card by Tina Herbeck

Trick or Treat!

Today we are ready to trick or treat with this Halloween treat filled card by Tina! 

For this fun creation, Tina combined several of our favorite Halloween themed products!  She started out by stamping and coloring the kitty from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set. The way she colored the fur pattern with different colored spots is so cute! She cut this image out using the coordinating Trick or Treat Kittens Die Set. 

Next, she used the big oval image from our Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set, stamping the spiderwebs in black and then ink-blending the inside of the circle in shades of gray and purple. So spooky! She added the sentiment "Trick or treat" into the center of the image, also from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. She cut the image out to give it that fun scalloped edge using our Oval Frames Die Set. She also added a few sparkly purple gem accents!

For the card base she used the patterned papers from our Halloween Meows Paper Pad and Halloween Woofs Paper Pad, choosing a candy filled pattern and a purple striped pattern. Perfect choices to coordinate with the stamped images! 

We hope you have enjoyed this sweet and spooky Halloween greeting today!  To see more amazing cards by Tina, you can visit her blog, The Scrappin Rabbit! 

Halloween Kitten Card by Zsofia Molnar

Halloween Kitty!

Today we have a fun Halloween card by Zsofia that that features that cute kitty from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set! 

She started out by coloring that adorable image of the kitty peeking out of the halloween pumpkin from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set. The shading on the pumpkin is so pretty and we love the colors on the kitty too! She cut out the kitty image and some images of candies from the same set using the coordinating Trick or Treat Kittens Die Set. Then she mounted the kitty and candies onto a kraft colored tag that was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She stamped the "Happy Halloween" sentiment above the kitty and added some fun candy corn colored twine for a fun detail!

Here is a close up so you can see all the beautiful details in her coloring:

For the card base she stenciled a panel of pretty pumpkins using our Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set. This stencil set has three layers: pumpkins, stems and Jack-o'-lantern faces. She only used the pumpkin and stem layers, leaving off the scary faces for a fun pumpkin background! Then she layered a piece of vellum over the pattern to soften the look. 

We hope you enjoyed this adorable Halloween card today! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Happy Halloween Cat and Dog Card by Tina Herbeck

Happy Halloween!

Today Tina has created cute Halloween card that features a cute dog and kitty together in a spooky Halloween setting! 

To create this fun duo of Halloween friends, she used the image of the puppy from our Pug-kin Stamp Set paired with the kitty from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set. Don't these two images go perfectly together!? She colored both of them, adding fun shading and patterns to their fur and to the pumpkins. She also stamped and colored some candy from the Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set and a small jack-o-lantern treat tote from the Count Newton Stamp Set. The images were then cut out using the coordinating dies to add to her scene (Pug-kin Die Set,  Trick or Treat Kittens Die Set, Count Newton Die Set).

For the background she used trees from our Frames & Flags Die Set to create a scallop edged panel to hold the scene. On each side of the panel she embossed a spooky tree silhouette from our Spooky Street Stamp Set in black. Then she ink blended a spooky sky between the two trees with gray, purple and orange inks. She embossed the "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set in the center. She cut out a hill using our Land Borders Die Set and inked it up with shades of gray and set our friends on top of it to complete this spooky scene! So adorable!
