Introducing “Mr. Spooky”

By on October 27, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I have some easy Halloween backgrounds to share with you, along with a story about Mr. Spooky. See, I saw this skeleton die cut and it reminded me of this story I had to tell you…so I made a couple cards and a video.

Isn’t he cute?! I couldn’t wait to create a card with him holding this giant lantern! Lol.

Watch the video (and hear about Mr. Spooky) below or in HD on YouTube:

I used my FAVORITE brick embossing folder for this first card on black paper, and highlighted parts of it with gesso. This made parts of the brick background really reflect some light.

I also added some cream cardstock behind that lantern to make it pop off the bricks.

For the second card, I heat embossed that damask stamp onto a Stormy Metallic cardstock. I used a new rainbow glitter embossing powder that looks amazing on this cardstock.

The sentiments are from the All Seasons Sentiments paper pack. These sentiments are foilable, but I wanted to keep them black for these Halloween cards.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 







I share the story of my Nephew and his skeleton he calls “Mr. Spooky” on the video! I love that kid.





Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! I’m happy to be back and sharing another Halloween card! This time I have a Red Brick Spooky House to share, along with a no-coloring technique I hope you will love!





It’s all detailed in the video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:













I love this new set from Miss Ink Stamps! It’s a great Halloween House and it also has the cutest critters in the set (I didn’t use them in my project today).






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I LOVE this brick embossing folder. It looks so realistic, and it’s great in either red or grey! (I can’t wait to try other colors, too!)





I added some grout details with Distress Paints, and I really think that adds a lot. The technique for this is very simple, paint it on and wipe off the excess with your finger! I show you how in the video.

Those sentiments are just perfect, aren’t they!?





I hope you enjoyed these cards today! I have a few Halloween projects left to share before the big day. I can never get enough in before the day sneaks up on me. Lol. See you soon!
