Halloween Trick or Treat Fun by Julie Lavalette

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.

Crafty Hugs,

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here. Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my blog for our current blog hop Flower Power. Please scroll down to our previous post and join in the fun if you haven't done so yet for a chance to win a $20 shopping Spree here at Cheery Lynn Designs.

My post today is using some more of the fabulous newly released Halloween dies. Soon as I saw the Witches Skirt Die I thought of the song Ding Dong the Witch is Dead from the film Wizard of Oz. So I decided to combine this into my Halloween card.

I started with a card measuring 8" x 5" layering some Vellum over my orange cardstock for a spooky feel and a drop shadow effect onto my spiders webs.

My centre background was created uses inks and a Stencil. I double layered the Witches Skirt and added more spider webbing for extra detail. I Added a shadow effect to my trick or treaters and spooky tree.

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!

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.

Trick or Treat Card by Corina Finley

Trick or Treat!

Corina here with you today on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog. For this weeks card I used embossing powders to give the die cuts dimension, depth, and texture.

I started with a card base in white cardstock and sprayed with blue and purple dye ink. I layered the Spider Web Mesh Border on top and spritzed with water. Then removed the Spider Web Mesh Border. This technique lightens the area not covered by the border die cut, leaving a stencil/ghost like effect. I dried with a heat gun. See the wonderful look it created below. If you wanted a more intense look, just let the water sit longer before drying with a heat tool.

I cut the Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame die cut from black cardstock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then layered onto the card. I added a Spooky Tree which was covered in UTEE and while warm pressed a wood grain stamp into the UTEE to give texture.

My favorite part from this card, is the T rick or Treat sentiment. I cut it out twice. Once in white cardstock and sprayed with green dye ink. This is my base layer of the sentiment. The second was cut from black cardstock, I only applied embossing ink and black sparkle powder randomly to the top of the die cut. I then trimmed and adhered to the top of the green sentiment base.
