Whimsy Stamps - Don´t be a scaredy cat

Hey sweethearts or should I say hello punkin´s, my halloween mood let me create another faBOOlous card with a lot of cool Whimsy Stamps products.

I am still so in love with all that great to use background paper packs because with these you can create cards in nearly no time! No ink blending, no coloring needed ... just grab a sheet of paper and get started!

For this card I didn´t color all my die cuts with Copic markers, I die cut most of them out of black cardstock only. Just the pumpkins were die cut with Coloring Paper and got their bold bright color from my markers. After that I used the absolutely spooktacular Halloween Expressions stencil and my black Memento ink to add the Jack O´Lantern faces.

For the background I grabbed another fantastic paper called Haunted from Whimsy, which harmonizes just perfectly with my scene setup. After stamping the Trick or Treat House and sentiments to the paper it was time to build up the card.

I layered the punched out black grass, gluing it to the bottom only, and placed the pumpkins slightly overlapping in between. The little witchy cat sitting on her pumpkin is the central point on my card.

To give my card the look of a framed picture, I took a sheet of the Vampire Paper Pack and cut out the inside. The inner edges were painted with Tombow liquid glue and then placed on my card and glued on.

Whimsy Stamps - BOO! Just a bunch of Hocus Pocus

Hey sweethearts, I am still in a fantastic Halloween cardmaking mood and couldn´t resist this cute but a bit frightful looking gnome from Whimsy Stamps.

He's a little insecure as he stands there with his BOO sign in hand, telling himself that yes, it's all just a bunch of hocus pocus.

The little black cat at his side doesn't quite trust the whole thing yet either and cautiously stalks through the grass, eyeing everything quite suspiciously.

As always, I colored all my die cuts with Copic markers, including the mushrooms and pumpkins, which made themselves at home between some layers of grass.

For the background I used the fantastic Halloween Paper Nevermore from Whimsy, which harmonizes just perfectly with my scene setup and creates a wonderfully creepy atmosphere.
