Stampendous Saturday Goes Fun and Freaky

Stampendous Saturday is going freaky this week. My card today features one of the newly released, Fran-tage Halloween images...perfect to go as creepy and freaky as you'd like, or to "cute up" if you'd prefer. I tried to go halfway between the two...freaking cute...so to speak. Lol. The image is the Pumpkin Fence, and I stamped it as an overlay on Thermo Acetate with black StazOn ink. I used this fun double-sided paper from Best Creation to keep it from being too dark and scary, added a bow of webby and crinkle ribbons from Creative Impressions. Black and shiny Class A' Peel Scary Spiders add the finishing touch. Now's your chance to see what the other Stampendous Saturday gals have been up to:

Spooky Vampire Dude

Halloween is supposed to be spooky, but this little vampire dude from Stampendous is just a little too cute. So, I went for spooky on the outside and created a jagged window for him to be seen through. I used the cut out piece from the window as a stencil to sponge white ink on the front for a foggy look. I really love the look of this webby ribbon from Creative Impressions. I cut a hole out of a section of it so that the moon could peek through. My little vampire dude was water-colored, and Class A' Peel bats and sentiment were the finishing touch. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, especially those that are fortunate enough to have a three day weekend. Use that time wisely...paper-craft!

Furry-ocious Candy-Stealing Tiger!

Quickie post today. Here is a card that I made for the Stampendous catalog. Very simple. I stamped this little cutie from the Stampendous Perfectly Clear "Costume Kids" set, once on white cardstock and once on orange. Added color and shading with markers, cut both of them out and layered with double-sided adhesive on this slightly grungy paper. The goofy spider is a Class A' Peel sticker which I have "springing" down by way of a skinny strip of corrugated cardstock. The sentiment speaks for itself!

Bootiful Boots for the Girly Witch

Today's post is a fun card for the girly witch in all of us! The stamp is a new image from Stampendous and comes as a Cling set with the sentiment. I love the new Cling stamps...they are the best of both worlds. You have the visibility of the clear stamps combined with the precision of stamping with rubber. And bonus...they're easy to store! In the case of this card, I combined both flock and glitter. I applied a panel of Peel N' Stick to a black cardstock panel. I stamped the image on the top carrier of the PnS and scored through each area of the design one by one, peeling up the areas that I wanted flocked, or orange glittered, or black glittered. It's easy to get a feel for using your craft knife to cut just through that carrier layer to peel away and expose the adhesive layer beneath. The reason that I chose this method rather than just applying glue in the areas to be flocked or glittered, is that the Peel n' Stick provides a much cleaner coverage as well as a much denser coverage. Unfortunately, my photo doesn't show how great those purple flocked boots look against the glittery stockings. I cut the image out and raised up the outer leg with foam adhesive for dimension. I love the addition of the "webby" ribbon as well. Now, girls, you know you want those purple boots for Halloween!
