Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays challenge

My friend Micki asked me to be a guest designer this week over at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays. The challenge is to create a Halloween card using any vendor product, any color and any embellishment you want. The winner will receive a great prize package, so be sure to enter your Halloween projects in this challenge.

I don’t have any Halloween stamps except for one little greeting so I challenged myself to create a Halloween card using the products I had on hand. This is what I came up with:

Stamp set: All Holidays
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White card stock, Night & Day Specialty DSP
Ink: Black StazOn, Whisper White Craft
Accessories: 1 3/8” square punch, Scallop oval punch, Large oval punch, Big Shot machine, Texture Plates Kit #4, Little Leaves die, Daisies #2 die, 5/8” Whisper White Jumbo brad, sponge, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin’ dimensionals, paper trimmer

Here is a great video on how to create a Top Note quilt like the one on my card:

I created another card, this time using the frame from the Top Note quilt:

Stamp set: All Holidays
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black card stock, Night & Day Specialty DSP
Ink: VersaMark, Whisper White Craft
Accessories: 1 3/8” square punch, Big Shot machine, Texture Plates Kit #4, Little Leaves die, Daisies #2 die, White emboss powder, 5/8” Whisper White Jumbo brad, sponge, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin’ dimensionals, paper trimmer

I used a texture plate on the Basic Black card stock for both cards, and rubbed Whisper White Craft ink over the texture to give it a “spookier” look. Here’s a close up of this detail:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my non-traditional Halloween cards. Be sure to visit Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays to view the projects of the other designers and to participate in the challenge.

Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!
