Monster Halloween Card

Yes, the title & card is for Halloween. When I saw Cuttin' & Stampin' Monster challenge I immediately thought of Halloween. Found it a bit difficult since I mostly create girl things unless you count the Pirate theme things and other masculine things I create. 

Had won the Your Next Stamp set (my artsy stamp) some time ago & this is the first time using. Made this Clean & Simple CAS cute Halloween card heat embossing the monster with Blaze embossing powder that I think it is first time using and then stamping the sentiment in black ink. 

Saw that there was some stray embossing powder that did not get removed before heat embossing & some smudginess in stamping the sentiment but I felt that it added to the edgy monster look. Added some twine.

embossing: Recollections Blaze emb powder
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMark
paper:  cardstock - Kraft
stamp:  Your Next Stamp - my artsy stamp, won this some time ago & 1st time using

Halloween Happy Haunting Circle Shaped Card

Made this card using a Your Next Stamp, Happy Haunting, that I recently won. Made it a circle shaped card using a Spellbinder die. To make the circle shape you place the top cutting plate in a way that the entire circle is not cut for first part and then move the circle to mimic the circle and again place the top cutting plate in a way that the entire circle is not cut but joins to the first part of the circle cut. What I did some time ago was made a template with cardstock that I keep and use it to line up the circle die.

The dotted paper is Stamp Fairy digi paper Bright Dots Orange.

Stamped the Haunted House twice, cut out the 2nd stamped image, paper pieced it over the first stamped image and popped it up on top of the first image with foam adhesive.

Stamped sentiment & used Stampin' Up punches for sentiment tags.

Added some stickles to the moon. 

Photographed next to the styrofoam pumpkin hubby carved in 2011 of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.
