Happy Catoween by Julie Lavalette

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it's JULIE here today. Gosh I can't believe we are into October already and Halloween shall be here very soon. So today I am sharing some Halloween inspiration. I so love making these fun cards with all our fab dies.

I started off with an 8" X 5" card and matted and layered cardstock which I tattered at the edges. For my background I used inks and a web stencil to get a spooky effect, layering up my spiders web with foam strips.

My main cat I added the witches hat to, layering on the belt and buckle twice for added texture. I used the reverse side of my smaller cat on the left hand side of my card to give a mirror image. You don't tend to notice as much you have used the reverse side in black cardstock when you want your die cut facing the other way.

Frankenstein was cut out in several colours layering him up and highlighting his face and clothes with a Fine Liner pen.

My Skeleton I shadowed with black cardstock to help him pop.

Boo! by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi friends, it's Jenny here today! Today I'm sharing another Halloween card. I just can't get enough of these new Halloween dies. I began this card by cutting the centers out of black and patterned papers as well as the main 5.5" card front. I glued a piece of orange paper to the inside front of the card. I was originally planning on suspending the spiders between the layers for a 3D effect with an open front but my planned changed when I decided to use a greater variety of these fun spiders.

The spiderweb is from the Spider Net set, the three spiders are from the Whimsical Spiders set, and the Boo is from the Ultimate Halloween set. I double layered Boo! to add a little more orange and it offsets the other spiderweb on the left nicely.

A Wicked Invitation with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hello!

Today I'm sharing with you a fun Halloween Invitation using a few old and new Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts. The adorable "whimsical spiders' are so fun! I placed some google eyes on them for more of a whimsical look. I love the grouchy spider in the center on the "pierced circle"

The "spiderweb" was embossed 3 different spots to the plain paper and then die cut in black in the center. I then placed a banner using font from the computer and chalked the edges.

Inside is the invitation using the same font and more of the spiderweb cut for the corners.

A closer view of the grumpy "spider" and the "pierced circle".

Also more of the "spiders"with webs that I colored with a white marker.

Happy Owl-o-ween by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Good morning, it's Jenny here today! My daughter requested I make her friend a Harry Potter card for her birthday. I made one and enjoyed it so much I made another in different colors and here it is...

I stamped the image in black and then used distress inks to color the background. I stamped the owl twice and cut one out which I then used as a mask when I colored the background. I didn't use tape to mask, I just held the cut out owl in place over the "good owl" as I sponged color onto the background. The card base is an A2 size. I layered black card stock, then a design paper and then framed the stamped image in black too.

I added two Spider Nets, a little dangling spider from the new Whimsical Spider set, the Key (using wings from the Dragonfly #13) and the Witch Hat. I embellished the die cuts with glitter glue, rhinestones, white frantage embossing powder on the side of the card and dragonfly wings, and silver frantage on the key.
