Happy Halloween card made with the Hallows Night Magic Bundle (Hallows Night Magic stamp set and Halloween Magic Dies) and Metallic Mesh Ribbon from the Magic in this Night Suite Collection. I created the background by stamping black ink onto the layer using the blob shaped rubber from the middle of the frame stamp. I think it gives the impression of dark spirits floating around in the background. And the little bit of Metallic Mesh Ribbon peeking out from under the sentiment looks like cobweb.

Today I’m sharing the Tag Buffet Project Kit. It makes 30 large tags. Each one is 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″, and they also make great additions to card fronts. I don’t think any photos do these tags justice. They have gold accents, and delicate laser-cut features. Everything is pre-die cut. All you have to do is stamp the sentiments and layer the pieces together.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Hallows Night Magic Bundle and other products from the Magic in This Night Suite.
Last night I hosted a Mystery Stamping Party on Facebook, and I had such a great time! Throughout the party, I posted “clues” that participants followed to create a card, without seeing what the end result would look like. There were some really talented stampers making amazing cards. I look forward to doing this again.

Aug 4, 2020 | Cards, Gallery, Halloween, Holiday, Techniques |
Today the brand new August – December 2020 Mini Catalog goes live! To celebrate, I used two brand new products. I used the stamp set from the Hallows Night Magic Bundle, and the dies from the Snow Wonder Bundle to create today’s Happy Halloween card. The background was created using the Smooshing Technique. Basically you smear some ink around a slick surface, like a Window Sheet, and spritz it with water, then “smoosh” paper into it. Every piece is unique.

Here are the new products I used:
I used the stamp set from this bundle.
I used the dies from this bundle, specifically the one at the bottom left. The die is taller than the 7/8″ strip for the sentiment, but I centered it over the sentiment, and used it to cut only the ends.
S
Here’s what I made:
I heat embossed the sentiment in white, then colored it with a Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Marker.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Shimmery White CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Basic Black CS cut to 4″ x 7/8″
- Smoky Slate CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ for the inside of the card base (Purple Posy or Highland Heather CS would work well also.)
Smooshing Technique:
- Gorgeous Grape and Tuxedo Black Memento ink refills dripped onto a Window Sheet, then swirled around
- water spritzed onto the ink
- Shimmery White CS layer laid on the Window Sheet to transfer the ink to it, then lifted it and laid it down in a different area of the Window Sheet
- continued “smooshing” the CS in the ink until I liked the look
- set the CS aside to dry completely
- Just a few drops of ink are more than enough for one card, so I smooshed 4 pieces of the Shimmery White CS. I’ll hold on to the other three for future projects. You can see in this photo that there was still some ink left on the Window Sheet.The piece at the bottom left is the one I used for today’s card, because I thought it looked the most like a spooky sky.
Stamped with the Hallows Night Magic stamp set:
- the bats in Tuxedo Black ink onto the smooshed CS layer
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed it in white
Cut using the Snow Time Dies:
- sentiment
- I centered the strip in the die to cut only the ends.
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:
- embossed sentiment in Dark Highland Heather
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- smooshed layer glued onto the front of the card base
- sentiment adhered onto the smooshed layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- 2 Red Rhinestones applied onto the larger bat as eyes
- Smoky Slate CS glued onto the inside of the card base (I think I’ll try using Purple Posy or Highland Heather CS on the inside of the cards I make using the other smooshed pieces.)
