Trick or Treat | It's Halloween In July

So maybe you aren't quite ready for Christmas, so what about Halloween? I'm all in when it comes to Halloween papercrafting and this week I'm getting a jumpstart on it with a couple of cards I created using some super adorable stamp sets from Scrapbook.com called Trick Or Treat Stamp Set and Spooky.  And just in time for Halloween in July you can now get coordinating dies for both of these stamp sets. Which makes everything even more spooktacular in my book! Keep an eye out for loads of adorable new Halloween themed products coming from Scrapbook.com too!

TRICK OR TREAT CARD

First up is this Trick Or Treat card created using both the Scrapbook.com Trick or Treat and Spooky stamp and die set. I began with a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼ inches and stamped a custom background in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink using a variety of the images from both stamp sets.  I then ink smooshed the paper into Wilted Violet Distress Ink and dried it with my heat tool and repeated that until I was pleased with the way it looked. Next, I applied the Vintage Script Black Rub Ons over the entire piece of cardstock. The final step was to add some spatters using Distress Spritz in Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade. These are just perfect for adding a little shimmer and shine to your projects!

I added some machine stitching and then adhered the background to a piece of black cardstock. To embellish the card, I used the Tim Holtz Spider Web Die Set to cut a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock that I ink smooshed into Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. I then stamped the sentiment and bats with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, poured black embossing powder over them, tapped off the excess and heat embossed them. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them and then adhered them to the card front using 1mm double sided foam adhesive for a little dimension.


HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON CARD

This second card features the Scrapbook.com Spooky stamp and die set. I stamped the image with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock and watercolored it using Distress Watercolor Pencils in Wilted Violet, Hickory Smoke, Fossilized Amber and Twisted Citron. I then stamped the sentiment with the same ink and die cut each image with the coordinating dies.

For the background I took a piece of the spider web patterned paper from the Scrapbook.com Spooky Paper Pad, cut it down to 4 x 5 ¼ inches and adhered the Vintage Scripts White Rub Ons. I then added some spatters using Distress Spritz in Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade for a touch of shimmer and shine. I used the backside of a craft knife to distress the edges of the paper and added some machine stitching around the edge. I then adhered it to a piece of orange paper from the Spooky Paper Pad. I then finished it off by adhering the stamped images using 1mm double sided foam adhesive for a little dimension.
