Frankly, You're the Best Bookmark by Diane Morales

Frankenstein Bookmark!

Today Diane has created a fun Halloween themed bookmark! 

This fun bookmark features Newton dressed as Frankenstein from our Franken-Newton Stamp Set. She colored the cute image in neutral colors and gave him a bright blue jacket. The image was cut out using the coordinating Franken-Newton Die Set. 

Next, she cut out the bookmark using our Bookmark Die Set. To add some spiderwebs to each end of the bookmark she used our Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. Since she only wanted a bit of spiderweb on each corner and didn't want to ink up the whole stamp she used blue painters tape to block the ink from touching where she didn't want it. Then you simply remove the tape and stamp! 

She repeated this process to add spiderwebs to each corner. The Frankenstein kitty was added to the center along with some stitched hearts from the same stamp set. To finish the bookmark she added the sentiment "Frankly, you're the best!," also from the Franken-Newton Stamp Set. The sentiment was embossed in white onto a red banner that was die cut using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

We hope you enjoyed this fun bookmark today. It would be perfect for keeping your spot in a book this Halloween season!

Franken-Newton Shaker Card by Amanda Wilcox

Frankenstein Kitty Shaker Card!

Today we are sharing a Halloween themed shaker card by Amanda that is sure to delight!

To create this fun card she colored the cute image of the kitty dressed as Frankenstein from our Franken-Newton Stamp Set in fun bright colors! She added accents with a white gel pen and cut the image out using the coordinating Franken-Newton Die Set.  

To add to the Halloween fun, she created a fun shaker window for her card. She embossed the frame of spiderwebs onto a piece of clear film using our Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. Then she added a frame around it using our Oval Frames Die Set. Inside the shaker window she added the little images of hearts, chemistry pieces, brains and lightning bolts from our Franken-Newton Stamp Set, cut out with our Franken-Newton Die Set. She also added lots of cute green star sequins! 

For the sentiment she stamped the Frankenstein themed message "Frankly, you're the best!" from the  Franken-Newton Stamp Set onto a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. The final touch is some black splatters on the white card base and a bit of halloween themed bakers twine! 

This card is works great for Halloween or but it would be perfectly fun to a send a friend any time of year!

Trick or Treat Card by Tina Herbeck

Trick or Treat!

Today we are ready to trick or treat with this Halloween treat filled card by Tina! 

For this fun creation, Tina combined several of our favorite Halloween themed products!  She started out by stamping and coloring the kitty from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set. The way she colored the fur pattern with different colored spots is so cute! She cut this image out using the coordinating Trick or Treat Kittens Die Set. 

Next, she used the big oval image from our Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set, stamping the spiderwebs in black and then ink-blending the inside of the circle in shades of gray and purple. So spooky! She added the sentiment "Trick or treat" into the center of the image, also from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. She cut the image out to give it that fun scalloped edge using our Oval Frames Die Set. She also added a few sparkly purple gem accents!

For the card base she used the patterned papers from our Halloween Meows Paper Pad and Halloween Woofs Paper Pad, choosing a candy filled pattern and a purple striped pattern. Perfect choices to coordinate with the stamped images! 

We hope you have enjoyed this sweet and spooky Halloween greeting today!  To see more amazing cards by Tina, you can visit her blog, The Scrappin Rabbit! 

Happy Halloween Card by Maria Russell

Happy Halloween!

Today Maria has created a fun Halloween greeting that combines several of our newest Halloween products! 

The star of this card is the adorable Frankenstein kitty from our new Franken-Newton Stamp Set. She colored the kitty in bright greens and purples for a fun Halloween look! The image was cut out using the coordinating Franken-Newton Die Set. 

She created a frame using the big spiderweb image from our new  Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set. She embossed the web in white onto black cardstock and cut it out with our Oval Frames Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. She also cut inside along the inside edges of the spiderweb using a scissor to make it into a frame! This spiderweb frame is the perfect spot for the Frankenstein kitty! 

For her card base, she used the fun jack-o'-lantern patterned paper from our Halloween Meows Paper Pad, cutting it out with the scallop edged frame from our Frames & Flags Die Set. For finishing touches she added two orange bows, cut out using the bow from our Baby Bib Die Set and added gems to their centers. She also added the sentiment "Happy Halloween" from the Franken-Newton Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a black strip of paper and layered over the spiderweb frame. 

We love this fun fun and colorful combination of Halloween products! To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs.
