Halloween Blog Hop!

Welcome to our monthly Stamping Symphony Blog Hop!  With Halloween coming up soon, it seemed like a perfect theme!  

No trick - I have a treat for you!  Two Halloween cards!



Begin with a Basic Black base cut at 4 1/4 x 11, and scored at 5 1/2.
Next, cut Whisper White cardstock 4 1/8 x 5 1/2.  That's what I did, however if you want to see the Basic Black base, cut at 5 1/4 rather than 5 1/2.

Now comes the fun part - tear the Whisper White piece into uneven strips.
Then, ink up a Sponge Dauber in Basic Gray and run the dauber along the torn edges, and adhere the strips using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 
You can find googly eyes in your local craft store.  Adhere with the same glue as used for the cardstock, tucking one of the eyes a bit under a layer.


Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink for the sentiment, from Itty Bitty Greetings.


Let's not forget about the inside of the card!  
Cut Whisper White at 4 x 5 1/4.
Tear a strip of Daffodil Delight Paper - about 1 1/2 wide.
Die cut Whisper White paper using the Large Letter Alphabet.
For each of the above pieces, use Basic Gray ink & your Sponge Dauber on all edges, then adhere with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.


Now for our next 'spooky' card!


Cut your Old Olive base cut at 5 1/2  x 8 1/2, and scored at 4 1/4.
Next, cut Old Olive 4 1/8 x 5 1/2.
For the 'teeth', tear Whisper White cardstock roughly into similar shapes.
Do the same Sponge Dauber technique as the first card and adhere the pieces. 
Adhere the googly eyes.


With your Labeler Alphabet set, stamp the word BOO in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Old Olive cardstock, then use your Classic Label punch, punching close to the letter B.  Slide the punched sentiment back into your punch & cut again close to the second O.  Once again, use your Sponge Dauber around the edges.


Tear another roughly in a rectangle shape, and stamp the sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Pop up the sentiment using Dimensionals.


Here they are - 2 super cute, super easy, not too scary, kid-friendly cards!
