Fun Halloween cards for the kiddos.

Happy Halloween!  It's almost here and as always, I'm excited to see the cute little spooks coming up my sidewalk.  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays but I'm not not really into the fright  night, guts and gore side of it.  OK....I'll admit it, I'm a big chicken when it comes to that scary stuff.  My favorite part of Halloween is the adorable costumes that the little ones wear.  I'm a sucker for a home crafted costume when mom or dad throws some imagination into it and really deck their kids out.  That earns an extra candy bar from me!

I don't usually make a lot of Halloween cards but when I do, they tend to be on the cutie candy corny side of Halloween.   Adorable little ghouls rule this year!  CAS-ual Fridays has the perfect little spook for me! And of course a little ghoul needs a couple little ghoulfriends!

For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps: Spooky (CAS-ual Fridays).

Ink: holly hock, blue jay, hot mama (Simon Says Stamp), lime green, orange soda (Hero Arts), tuxedo black (Memento), clear emboss (Versamark).

Paper: black (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).

Accessories: 1st Place Ribbon dies (My Favorite Things), white embossing powder (WOW!), copic markers, dimensional tape (3M).

We can can have a little more  Spooky fun by using a white on black effect.  Stamping with some white embossing powder, colored pencils for coloring and a little white pigment ink for a cool foggy chalkboard look.

For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps: Spooky (CAS-ual Fridays), Boo to You (Clearly Besotted), Minor Stripe Bg. (The Ton).

Ink: white pigment ink (WPlus9), tuxedo black (Memento).

Accessories: Tiny Tags dies (Simon Says Stamp), Blueprints #15 dies (My Favorite Things), white Nuvo Crystal Drops, silver thread, Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, dimensional tape (3M).

Of course my jack o' lanterns reflect my sissy side a little on Halloween too.  My lil' punkins always have a smiley face glowing on my front doorstep to welcome trick-or-treaters.   These cute little Clearly Besotted pumpkins are perfect for my cutesie cards.  I made this one for a Halloween card swap with a sistahfriend over at StampNation.

For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps: Boo to You (Clearly Besotted), Exclamations (CAS-ual Fridays), Yay Stripes (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink: orange soda (Hero Arts), tuxedo black (Memento)

Accessories: Boo to You dies (Clearly Besotted), Quilted Stitched Pattern Bg (Lil'Inker Designs), Zig Zag dies (My Favorite Things), clear Wink of Stella glitter pen (Zig), dimensional tape (3M).

Now it's off to drop these little ghouls in the mail along with a treat for my favorite little spooks.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween!
