Spooky Scene by Jenny Alia

Hi friends, I'm back today sharing a Halloween card. Now that's it's gotten so hot here in NY I'm looking forward to autumn weather. I love Halloween and I've started to see things popping up in online ads and I was inspired to pull out my Halloween dies.

Most of the work in this card went to creating the background by blending inks and then spritzing with water until the colors blended. I also added a spritz of a white dimensional spray.

To create the grass behind the fence I layered two different grass die cuts. The fence did was much higher but I cut off the bottom. It's a beautifully ornate die but I didn't want the fence to overshadow the tree. The moon was cut out of a platinum colored glitter paper. Last, I added the bats for spooky vibe.

Halloween Door With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello crafters! Welcome back to another fun card using some new and old Cheery Lynn Designs Dies. The adorable "felines" are purrrrfect for Halloween! I wanted to use the screen door and then make an awning over the top. The awning was made by cutting 1/2 strips and curving the edges.

The cute ghost from "happy haunts" is a green goblin...lol The sentiment from "Happy Halloween twiggy wreath" its the perfect size for the screen door.

The spider web (nest) also has an adorable spider too. I added some glittery ribbon and two sequins for the doorknob. The background on the bottom I embossed it with "old brick"

The bats are from "bat family". I used the 2nd and 3rd smallest bat and just dotted the eyes with a signo white pen. Then I bent them a bit and added glue to the center of the bats so they appeared to be flying off the awning.

Halloween Trick or Treat Fun by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi everyone it's JULIE here today, I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed some creative time. Today I am sharing some more Halloween inspiration using many of the amazing Halloween dies Cheery Lynn have.

My Witches Cauldron was cut out in black cardstock adding some Vintage photo Distress powder at the edges to give a rust effect. My flames and logs were cut out in White cardstock and coloured with Copic pens adding some Glossy Accents onto the flames.

My cute little Witch was cut from the Trick or Treat Border layering her with a foam pad.

My hills were die cut from my Stitched stacker die, I then fussy cut the shape of hills and highlighted the stitching effect with a black pen, distressing the edges and adding some black soot Distress ink.

My house I layered Orange cardstock behind to give a warm glow, layering on with foam pads and a spooky ghost behind. My stormy sky was created with inks and a cloud stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to create a Halloween scene on a card or Scrapbooking page.

Good luck to everyone entering our Bi-Weekly Challenge for a chance to win a $20 spending spree.

Vampire with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, I'm sharing today with you a super fast clean and simple card using some the the new release from Cheery Lynn Designs. The "vampire" is adorable! It's not a spooky one, so it is great to use for children cards too. The sentiment is from the "witch's skirt".

The "bat family" I used purple cardstock to match the patterned paper in the background. The "circle" was used to represent a large moon. The pierced holes on the circle gives it a little bit more characteristic. Minutes to make! Enjoy!

Happy Halloween with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a Halloween card inspired by this week's challenge. I've been having so much fun with all the new Cheery Lynn Halloween dies from the July release! To make this card I began by cutting three large squares out of white and purple card stock. I colored the smallest piece orange with distress ink. After the distress ink dried I cut a circle out of the card stock with one of the small circles from the Circle Classic Silver Stackers. I then used the Square Stitching Tool to cut the stitches into the largest and smallest square for added texture.

I then got to work on the fun elements. I cut the Home Sweet Home haunted house out of a dark gray card stock and backed it with purple for a spooky light inside. I think this would be really neat to do with neon green behind too. Then I glued the house down and then glued two Ornamental Gates side by side. I cut the bottoms of them so they wouldn't be as tall.

I sponged a little gray ink over a piece of white card stock and then glued it behind the orange layer. The two bats from the Bat Family die were popped up with dimensional foam adhesive. Last I added the cauldron from the Crafty Ann Halloween Set 2 and glued the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath die set.

If The Shoe Fits....with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi. It's Lisa back today sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs! I really had NO idea what I wanted to do this week since the challenge is "Anything Goes". However, I recently received the "Dainty Dutch Deco Frame" and I wanted to use it soon. I actually wasn't going to make a Halloween card even though it is really right around the corner....but then I received the beautiful "Women's Shoe" and thought of making it red. Hence the title"If The Shoe Fits". I printed up the sentiment and then die-cut it out with "Royal Scandinavian Tag 2". I die-cut it out again in black and placed it behind the white for a shadow.

The background paper has bats with red eyes. So I thought why not red bats with black eyes? The bats are part of the "Bat Family" I die-cut three to balance the red of the elegant high heel shoe. I then found this witch online with height heels on her feet and fussy cut her out.

A closer view with some pop dots under the shoe, witch, sentiment and bats.

Who Ate The Spider ! by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 6 Comments

Hi Everyone, It's JULIE here today. I am having so much fun with the Halloween Dies creating little scenes on my cards that I just had to share another one with you.

My background was created with Hickory Smoke and Stormy Sky and a Spiders Web Stencil.

My Washing Line and Moon were cut out in White Cardstock and coloured with Copics adding a little bling on to the Witches shoes.

My Tombstone was also cut out in White Cardstock and shaded with Distress inks. My Barbed Wire was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and a little Rust Coloured Stazon ink added to it.

As you can see my very naughty Horrible Cat ate the Spider off the web ! I cut my cat out in Black Cardstock and trimmed his head and front legs off. I then glued the body part in to a sitting position and placed a little Silicone Glue on to the back of his head and re positioned it for added dimension. My Spider I trimmed his legs down a little bit in an uneven way so they had a chewed look to them.

Tombstone With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, Its Lisa back this week with a new and easy card to make for Halloween! I used only 2 pieces of plain cardstock too. I wanted to make something for this week's challenge "Things With Wings", I thought, why not bats! LOL I have seen a few tombstone shaped cards out there and I thought again...you don't need a special diecutting machine. All you need is a large circle diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs. I used the largest of the "Silver Stackers" I placed just part of the diecut on top of my paper and ran it partially through the diecutting machine to give it the top curve. I did that in black and once again in grey, .25 inches smaller each time. This card was originally cut at 5 x 6 inches, and now it is bit smaller, 5 x 5.75

I added "Home Sweet Home", "Spooky Tree", "The Raven" from "Tomb Stone" "Bat Family" in black cardstock. The the smallest circle from "Silver Stackers" for the moon and 2 "Ornamental Gate" (partially cut off the bottom) in white cardstock. Lastly, I added a small sentiment and fussy cut it out and placed with pop dots on top of the "Spooky Tree" I love how the "Spooky Tree" and the "Home Sweet Home" small tree compliment each other.

A closer view, NO patterned paper...only dotted embossed grey cardstock.

Easy and fast to make!

Halloween Fun by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here, thanks for stopping by to see my post today. Halloween is fast approaching so I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration with you all.

I decided to make my own inky background. You will notice from the photograph I taped my die cut in place along with the die, applying my Distress Inks and a Web Stencil for depth.

I then went around the perimeter with a Black Fine Liner Pen before lifting my die cut off. This helps to frame your inky detail.

My web I added some ink along with some Rock Candy Distress Stickles, double layering Happy Halloween for a Shadow Effect.

My tree was cut out in White Cardstock, inking the edges and adding Distress Stickles to the Black Cardstock for an eerie glistening effect, off setting my tree I glued in place.

Haunted House by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi Cheery Lynn friends, it's JULIE here today and I am sharing with you another card using some Halloween dies from the Latest Release.

I started off by making my own background paper with stamps and inks, matting and layering on to my stacker dies. Next I cut out my Spiders Web in purple card stock then placed them on to the corners and added purple Stickles around the edges.

My orange mat I added a little Distress ink and went around the pierced holes with a white pen, layering on to my card with a little Silicone Glue.

My Home Sweet Home die I layered up twice and added some yellow card stock behind the windows to make them pop and I pulled the windows to an ajar position.

With layering my house twice it gave my tree some extra added dimension and popped the house forward on my card rather than lying flush to the card stock.

My Bat was cut in black cardstock and offset with some white. I stamped my sentiment in clear Embossing ink and embossed with extra fine white Embossing Powder.
