Dracula is going Batty at the Castle!!!...

 Hello everyone!

It's Sue here today and I have been having a play with some 

Whimsy Stamps Halloween goodies!

I thought it would be great fun to use the 

Build a Castle Die Set

as a Halloween backdrop!

So I added 

Dracula Going Batty Die Set

and 

Boo Die Set

I used Distress Oxides to create the inky background along with mica powder and white paint.  (I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post for you).

The brick detail is made with a stencil and distress ink.  

Dracula is die cut with black glitter card and white card to create a reflection.  

The ghosts are die cut in vellum.

The sentiment is heat embossed in white.

 Hello everyone, I hope you are all well! 

Oh my - it has been a while!  I am so relieved that I can now get about well enough to slowly ease myself back into some colouring and crafting!

I have mixed up some new and older Whimsy Stamps goodies for todays card!

Firstly I stamped and coloured the fa-BOO-lous Haunted Parlor Rubber Stamp with Copic Markers.  I'll pop the list of colours I used at the end of this post!

Then I die cut a piece of sparkly black card with the largest Wavy Nested Frames Die and placed it over the coloured image.  I then cut the design into a rectangle.

Finally I added some die cut vellum ghosts and BOO using the Boo Die Set

Hello friends

Happy Halloween!

I'm sneaking in with this card almost at the last minute!

I have been wanting to colour this image for aaaaages!

I want to say a massive thank you to Antonia at Taffleberry Lane for being so inspirational!

Her tutorials are amazing and as soon as I saw this beautiful background I knew I wanted to have a go at it!

I have used the fa-boo-lous

Stamping Bella - The Littles Haunted House Scene

and a

Stamping Bella - Fall Sentiment

from

Dies To Die For

The image is coloured with Copics and I freehanded the background following Antonia's amazing tutorial.

First I stamped and masked the Haunted House, then I added the sky background.  I removed the mask and coloured the image, finishing off by adding the grass, the tree and the details to the sky.

Copics Used

Sky, RV21, RV14, RV13, R35, R89

Moon, W1, W00

Boo...

Hello everyone.

It's Sue here today with a Halloween card made with products from 

Whimsy Stamps 

Lovely Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

has designed a range of dies to perfectly fit DL cards!

These new

Slimline Dies

are such fun!  The card making possibilities are endless!

To make my halloween card I first cut a piece of black glitter card with the fab

Slimline Marquee Die

I then blended Distress Oxides in Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves over a piece of smooth card and splattered it with water and Perfect Pearls.

I then hand cut a piece of that card to fit behind the apertures in the Marquee die cut.

I used the 

BOLD ABC Die Set

to cut the word BOO with blended card.

 I created a cobweb mask with a die stuck it to a piece of smooth card and blended Distress Oxides in the same colours over it.  I removed the mask to reveal the cobweb pattern and trimmed it to also fit behind the die aperture.  With black ink I stamped spiders onto the cobweb.  The spiders are from the fabulous 

Morticia Clear Stamps Set

I tore the blended card into strips and fixed them to a piece of black glitter card. I left a gap in the strips to let the black card show through and fixed some small google eyes on it!

I trimmed that panel to fit behind the aperture in the die.

I created a rectangular card blank the same size as the 

Slimline Marquee Die

and stuck the three panels to it, fixing the black glittery die cut over them as shown.  I fixed the letters to the centre panel with some adhesive foam

With black ink I stamped the cat from the 

Going Catty Clear Stamp Set

onto a piece of Bockingford card and coloured him/her (: with pencils.

I cute image out and fixed it to the card design with adhesive foam as shown.

Spooky or what!!!

Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone it's Elaine, back with some inspiration today here on the Dies to Die For blog featuring more awesome Stamping Bella stamps!

Tracy has all the gorgeous new Stamping Bella stamps and coordinating Cut It Out dies available on the website now. If something is out of stock, use the notification feature on the product page - that way you can get a heads up as soon as it comes back in!

Now, I know I've used her on a Halloween card here, but this gorgeous little witch doesn't need to gather dust all year. Cute little witchies aren't just for Halloween, especially when there are no pumpkins or jack o lanterns in sight!

Personally, I'm partial to a little magic all year round. ;) She'd be just as gorgeous on a bewitching birthday card.

Stamps: Stamping Bella Tiny Townie Hattie loves Halloween (coordinating die also available)

Colouring Medium: Copic Markers, Distress Ink

Paper: Make it Colour Blending Card

Misc: MISTI Stamping Tool, MFT Hybrid Ink - Black Licorice, White Gel Pen

Copic Colouring Video:

Watch me colour gorgeous little Hattie below or in HD over on my YouTube channel.  I now create videos for all the Stamping Bella releases, so make sure you check out the playlists over there! Full Copic details are supplied in the videos

That's it from me today! Happy shopping and happy stamping!
